A Jove de 29 anys dempeus 5 peus-3, Herrero (13-2, 7 KOs) té una reputació com a retrocés i un dels lluitadors de Detroit més emocionants de l'última dècada. Conegut per la seva intrépida agressió al ring, Les baralles de Smith són sempre “cal veure” tarifa per a Detroiters.

“Detroit n'és un les millors ciutats de lluita de boxa del país i aquesta lluita n'és un exemple això,” Said Paraula. “Ja'Rico es presenta com un dels millors americans superpesos mosca, mentre que James Smith era una perspectiva que no es pot perdre quan es va convertir en professional. Aquesta baralla podria resultar ser la baralla de la nit perquè tots dos ho faran deixa-ho tot al ring per guanyar. Serà la velocitat i el temps de Ja'Rico, o James Smith el triturarà amb la seva agressió i pressió? No importa qui guanya, aquesta serà una guerra inoblidable.”

BROOKLYN (Agost 4, 2019) – Unbeaten Polish star and Brooklyn native Adam Kownacki (20-0, 15 KOs) earned a unanimous decision over Chris “El malson” Arreola (38-6-1, 33 KOs) in an all-action brawl in front of his hometown fans that headlined FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes Saturday night from Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXA ™.

Kownacki and Arreola set the CompuBox heavyweight record for combined punches landed and thrown in a heavyweight fight. They landed a combined 667 cops, besting the previous record of 650, while throwing 2,172 cops, far surpassing the previous mark of 1,730.

Highlights from the fight can be found AQUÍ, AQUÍ i AQUÍ.

Chris is an Aztec warrior,” va dir Kownacki. “Ell és un gran lluitador. I knew it would be a tough fight and I prepared for it. The CompuBox numbers prove it was a great fight.

Adam is relentless,” , Va dir Arreola. “He just keeps coming. I know I got him with some good punches and he got me with some good ones. I was more than ready to go all 12, but Adam came in and won the fight.

The action began right from the first bell, as Kownacki charged at Arreola and immediately began exchanging as both men threw power punches in bunches. Kownacki worked off of his jab to initiate his offense, while Arreola was effectively able to counter his hard-charging opponent and respond every time he was hit with a combination.

I thought it was a good close fight but I knew I pulled it out,” va dir Kownacki. “I landed a lot of shots and that was enough to win. That’s all that matters.

Kownacki stunned Arreola in the early moments of round two but Arreola quickly responded to slow Kownacki’s momentum. Arreola found more and more success with his overhand right as the fight went, landing the punch numerous times in the fourth and fifth round especially.

Round six was a back and forth affair that featured a big offensive surge from Kownacki early in the round, before an exciting exchange at the end of the round saw both men take heavy punches.

I tried to follow up when I had him hurt but I was throwing two punches instead of three or four,” va dir Kownacki. “Props to Arreola because he proved he could still hang. I’m sure the fans would want to see him again.

The middle rounds saw Arreola pick up a hand injury, but it didn’t appear to slow him down much as his punch output continued to be strong for the second half of the fight. For Kownacki, it was his first time going past 10 rounds as a pro.

After the punches continued to fly through the last bell, the two heavyweights embraced in the ring prior to hearing the judges’ puntuacions. Després 12 rondes, all three judges saw the fight in favor of Kownacki, pels comptes de 117-11 dues vegades i 118-110.

Retirement is something I need to talk to my family and team about,” , Va dir Arreola. “I gave it my all this fight. I let it all hang out. After breaking my hand, I kept fighting because I believed I could win.

I just have to keep training hard, getting better and sharpening my skills,” va dir Kownacki. “We’ll see what the future holds. Hopefully next year I’ll get the title shot.

The co-main event saw former world champion Jean Pascal (34-6-1, 20 KOs) earn a narrow technical decision over previously unbeaten Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 KOs) to capture the WBA interim light heavyweight title after an accidental headbutt ended the fight in round eight.

Boxing is boxing,” said Pascal. “We clashed heads, però al final del dia, I was winning the round. I dropped him three times. Va ser una baralla tancada, but I believe I was winning.

Browne appeared to be in control early, using his jab effectively and finishing his combos with power punches. Durant tota la lluita, Browne would land 52% of his power punches according to CompuBox.

En la quarta ronda, Pascal broke through landing a perfect right hand that connected with Browne as he threw his own right hook. Browne hit the canvas for the third time in his career, but was able to make it through the round.

Browne looked to have regained control of the fight until late in round seven when Pascal again connected on a powerful right hook that caught Browne during an exchange. Pascal jumped on Browne after he got to his feet and knocked him down a third time right before the bell ended round seven.

Montreal’s Pascal was looking to finish Browne in round eight, while Browne looked to effectively navigate the ring while recovering from the previous round. It was midway through the round that Pascal hit Browne with an accidental headbutt on the ropes that opened a cut over Browne’s left eye.

Referee Gary Rosato halted the bout 1:49 a la ronda, on the advice of the ringside physician, meaning the fight went to the scorecards. By winning the shortened eighth round on all three judges’ targetes, Pascal won the fight by the score of 75-74 tres vegades.

I could hear my daughter ringside and that was motivation for me,” said Pascal. “She was yelling my name all night long. I’m going to go home and talk to my team to see what is next. Canada has Drake, the NBA Champions and now I’m bringing the belt home.

Browne was unavailable for post fight comments as he was taken to NYU Lutheran Medical Center due to the cut.

The opening bout on FOX saw Wale Omotoso (28-4, 22 KOs) drop Curtis Stevens(30-7, 22 KOs) three times on his way to a third round stoppage victory in their super welterweight clash.

For Stevens it was his first fight at 154-pounds, and he was tested at the new weight from the outset. Omotoso began moving and jabbing around the ring as Stevens stalked him and tried to throw power punches to slow his movement. Late in the first round, Omotoso broke through with a right hand to the side of Stevenshead that dropped him in the middle of the ring.

My coach told me to keep my hands up, Sigues pacient, box him and jab,” said Omotoso. “He told me I shouldn’t push it and that when the opening was there, I’d take it. That’s exactly what happened.

He hit me with an overhand right in the first round that knocked my equilibrium,” said Stevens. “But that didn’t really affect me too much. I wasn’t stepping enough into my punches, I was reaching. I got caught when I was reaching.

In round two Omotoso landed a perfect jab on Stevens, as his opponent was throwing a left hook, that sent him down for the second time in the fight. Stevens again made it through the round, and began the next frame trapping Omotoso in the corner and connecting on power punches.

I was just letting my hands go,” said Omotoso. “On the second knockdown my confidence grew. I was glad to get the victory by knockout.

While Stevens was able to own the early moments of the third round, Omotoso hit him with a three punch combo that featured left hook, left uppercut and then straight right hand that put Stevens down for the third time. Stevens got to his feet but referee Johnny Callas halted the bout at 1:28 de la tercera ronda.

I was okay but the referee has to do his job,” said Stevens. “I was down three times so I know he was looking out for my best interests.

I didn’t expect it to go exactly like that,” said Omotoso. “I was just listening to my coach. The second knockdown was actually with my jab. I have to talk to my team about what’s next. Agraeixo aquesta oportunitat. I’m so happy to have this win. Give me anybody next, Estic llest.”

The fighters were joined on stage by former lineal heavyweight champion Michael Spinks. Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Brooklyn Marriott:

ADAM Kownacka

This is one of my dreams coming true. Since the amateurs I’ve wanted to fight at Barclays Center and on Saturday night I’m the main event. No podria estar més emocionat

I’ve been pushed hard in training camp and I can’t wait to show everyone all of my work on Saturday. The key is going to be jabbing in and throwing my punches in bunches like I always do.

This is a new experience for me being the headliner, but in the ring it doesn’t matter. It’s just two guys fighting each other. We both love to fight. I can’t wait to get it over with and punch him in the face.

Chris Arreola is a warrior. You always know that when Chris fights, it’s a good fight. But I’m going to test how much he has left in the gas tank. Chris has been in there with three champions and when I take care of business on Saturday, I’ll be one step closer to being world champion.

It’s truly a great feeling to have all this support from my fans here. These fans are trusting me to bring the title back to Brooklyn and to Poland.

Barclays Center has been my boxing home. No puc esperar per entrar al ring. This is a tough fight and I have to make sure I send the fans home happy.

This definitely has Fight of the Year written all over it. Neither of us are afraid to let our hands go and no matter what happens, the fans are going to be winners on Saturday.

CHRIS Arreola

I understand that Adam is the favorite because he’s undefeated and fighting in his hometown. Al final de la dia, none of that matters to me. I’m going to give it my all for this fight.

I’m carefree right now. I have no stress. Si perdo, I’m okay with walking way. But I’m not here to do that. Estic aquí per guanyar.

“Sé que tinc un dur rival al davant de mi. I have my work cut out for me. But ‘The Nightmareis going to keep going.

I went to Joe Goossen as my trainer because I knew it was time to make a change. I have to make this last run count. This is the best team I could imagine. Joe makes you work on your mistakes. I believe the winner of this fight is whoever takes advantage of the first mistake.

I respect everybody outside of the ring, but once we’re in the ring, I’m not friends with anyone. We’ll shake hands after the final bell, but I’m here to put on a show. It’s lights, càmera, action and time to shine.

He’s a volume puncher. He just keeps coming and he’s smiling at you the whole time. Al final de la dia, I’m going to put a frown on his face Saturday.

My prediction is that the fans are going to get their money’s worth. You better record this one, because you’re going to watch it again and again. I’m going to come out with my hand raised.

MARCUS BROWNE

Being in training in Colorado really lets me get attuned to my game plan. It’s just waking up every day and working with that same mentality where I’m focused on nothing but the fight. It’s all about going in there and getting that win.

I’m going to punish Pascal on Saturday. If the knockout is how he wants to go, Estaré preparat. I promise I’m going to beat him for 12 rondes.

It feels great to be here defending my belt. I’ll be in a better position after this fight. I’m going to make a statement in this fight and put Pascal in his place.

Pascal is a guy who doesn’t come to lay down, he comes to beat you. That’s what the sport is about. You have to fight guys of that stature if you’re not fighting champions.

A win on Saturday puts me in contention to fight for a world title next. That’s my focus, but before that, it’s about Jean Pascal and taking care of him the right way.

This is a great card for New York with me, Adam and Curtis all representing our home city. It’s great for us to be in this position together.

JEAN PASCAL

Marcus has been saying that he’s going to go in there and try to knock me out, but I’m no amateur. I know what his game plan is going to be. He’s going to run around the ring and try to hold. We all know he’s the best at running like a chicken.

When I was Marcus’ edat, I was already a world champion. He was watching me on TV when he was at the Olympics.

How is he going to knock me out? I think without the cut that Badou Jack had in their fight, he would have knocked Marcus out.

“Estic a punt. I’m a solid fighter. I’ve fought the best, so I don’t think Marcus will be able to knock me out.

I’m too good all-around for Marcus. This is my chance to show that I still have a lot of gas left in the tank. I’m still good enough to fight at the very top level of the sport.

CURTIS STEVENS

This is my first time fighting at Barclays Center, and I’m going to give the fans a taste of what they’ve been missing.

I decided that I’d go down to 154-pounds because my camp has a lot of the top 160-pound fighters so we were getting in each other’s way. There are a lot of opportunities for me in this weight class as well.

No matter what has happened in my career, I have always come back. I’m mentally always ready to bounce back. I’ve had layoffs in my career, but I know that I’m going to get where I need to be.

Nobody calls me out because they know I can punch. I’m too risky for the top fighters because they know there’s a chance they get knocked out.

It’s incredible to have this opportunity to fight at Barclays Center for the first time. It’s going to be a good time for me and all the fans.

Inici Omotoso

I’m not worried about Stevens being at a new weight. I don’t think it’s going to affect him that much. En dissabte, we’re both going to do our best to get the win.

He’s a big puncher who brawls. But I’m a big puncher too. He’s been there and fought everybody, but I’m going to show the world what I can do.

I think this is going to be a toe-to-toe fight. There might be some feeling out, but as the fight goes on and we get into the middle rounds, it’s going to be fought in the middle of the ring.

I’ve trained well for this fight and had sparring with lots of different fighters. The different styles that I’ve seen throughout camp will have me prepared for anything Stevens shows me on Saturday night.

HEAVYWEIGHTS WALLIN AND FLORES BOTH EXPECTING VICTORY WHEN THEY CLASH ON SHOBOX: DIVENDRES DE LA NOVA GENERACIÓ, Juliol 12 VIURE A SHOWTIME

NOVA YORK – juliol 9, 2019 –Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin says he has too many physical advantages, while former world title challenger BJ Flores says he has too much experience to lose their upcoming 10-round clash.



WBA núm. 5-ranked Wallin (20-0, 13 KOs) and Flores (34-4-1, 21 KOs) will meet this Friday, Juliol 12, in the co-featured bout of a ShoBox: La Nova Generació tripleheader telecast (en viu per SHOWTIME 10 p.m. ET / PT) from the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Rentat.



Presented by Salita Promotions and Brian Halquist Productions, “Battle at the Boat 122” will also feature top American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KOs), de Saginaw, Mich., returning for his second consecutive ShoBox test against the streaking Jerry Forrest (25-2, 19 KOs), de Newport News, Va., in the 10-round headliner and in the opening televised bout, undefeated featherweight Giovanni Mioletti (16-0, 7 KOs) of Chicago will face Ecuador’s Luis Porozo (14-0, 7 KOs).



The 28-year-old Wallin, a southpaw from Sundsvall, Suècia, says he’s been expanding his horizons working with trainer Joey Gamache at Mendez Boxing in Manhattan.



“Training has been very good. I have been back in New York for six weeks now and I’ve had some great sparring with a lot of different guys and different styles,” said 28-year-old Wallin. “Sparring is the best training you can get. It’s the most like a fight, so just getting in with all these different guys is a great experience.”



Undefeated Wallin says he’s got too much of everything for former cruiserweight Flores in this fight.



“BJ Flores is a guy that’s experienced, but I know what to do,” Wallin said. “I have the tools to beat him. He’s good as a cruiserweight, but this is a heavyweight fight. It’s different than being a good cruiser. I will win because I’m a better boxer with better skills. I’m too big, young and strong for him. I always get nervous before a fight, but that’s part of it. Being nervous makes me sharper. I will eventually break him down.”



It’s been something of a whirlwind career for Wallin, who turned pro as the number one heavyweight on the Swedish National team after just 50 baralles com amateur. Heavily courted by promoters for his immense natural talent, Wallin now finds himself signed with Salita Promotions and in the top 5 of the WBA ratings after 20 baralles com a professional.



He credits trainer Gamache, himself a popular former fighter, with much of his success.



“Joey used to live in Denmark and so did I,” Wallin said. “That’s where we met six years ago. I followed him back to the US when he came back and I signed with Salita at the beginning of this year. We have a great relationship. I love him as a coach and as a person He’s done a lot for me including bringing me over here and making all these connections. I trust him 100% and he trusts me too.”



Wallin says having a great team behind him means ramping up his quest for a world championship.



“I want to have three or four fights this year. I haven’t had that many fights the last couple years, so it’s important to me to stay busy. El proper any, I’ll be looking for a bigger fight. I’m very excited about everything that is happening.”



The 40-year-old Flores, originally from Arizona, says preparations went surprisingly well for this fight.



“Training couldn’t have gone better,” Flores said. “I had eight good weeks of training and I have zero injuries. Sincerament, I thought camp would be tougher, but everything bounced back nicely. I’ve been sparring for seven weeks. I normally have something nagging on fight week, but I sparred 10 rounds Saturday. I sparred four rounds today. jo tinc 22 rounds in since last Wednesday and I feel great.”



Flors, a two-time world cruiserweight title challenger, says Wallin will be facing a totally different type of opponent than the ones he’s used to.



“He’s never been tested by a guy who thought he could win. Everybody he’s fought came in as an opponent. That’s not to say he’s not good, but I’m the first fighter on his resume coming in expecting to win and I’ve been in with far better opposition.



“I feel like once I get him in the middle rounds and show him he’s in with somebody who is not going anywhere, that’s when we will find out what he’s made of. My experience and game plan are perfect for testing an untested guy. Just because he’s untested doesn’t mean he can’t fight, but we’re going to find out Friday night.”



Contrary to most fighters’ preference, Flores says he’s happy Wallin is a left-handed fighter.



“I’ve been sparring nothing but tall southpaws. De fet, I haven’t sparred an orthodox fighter in nine weeks. I prefer to fight southpaws. It’s better for my punch selection to fight a southpaw. I’ve never had a problem with it and I’ve never lost to one.”



Now a 16-year pro, Flores says he won’t be worried if the younger fighter comes out with some early aggression.



“If he wants to start fast, that’s OK. I don’t care about the first two or three rounds. The real fight starts after the fourth round. I plan on winning the early rounds, but even if I don’t, it doesn’t matter until we get in the middle rounds. I’m going to attack and be aggressive and go up and down on him. Get him to the middle rounds and see where he’s at. I know where I’m at. I’ve been in with the best heavyweights and cruiserweights in the world over the last 15 any. I feel great and I’m ready.”

This action-packed tripleheader is full of high stakes, toe-to-toe matchups with fighters highly-motivated to make a statement on the big stage,” va dir Tom Brown, President de Promocions TGB. “Brooklyn’s Polish star Adam Kownacki has become a fan-favorite in his hometown and is surely in for a challenge from the always exciting Chris Arreola, as he looks to make a heavyweight statement. Andre Berto is always in action fights and he’ll be looking to hold off the young challenger Miguel Cruz, while Marcus Browne returns off his career-best victory to face battle-tested former champion Jean Pascal.

All eyes are on boxing’s heavyweight division, and I am thrilled to welcome Brooklyn’s own contender Adam Kownacki back to our ring for his first time as the headliner,” va dir Brett Yormark, CEO de BSE Global. “Adam has built an enthusiastic fan base in the borough, and I am confident they will be out in full force to support him as he takes on veteran Chris Arreola to earn a title shot in the near future. It will be yet another heavyweight night to remember in Brooklyn.

Kownacki (19-0, 15 KOs) is noted for his tenacity and has been progressing towards a world title shot with knockouts in five of his last six fights. El de 30 anys, who was born in Lomza, Poland and moved to Brooklyn when he was seven, was an accomplished amateur in New York City before turning pro. He scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin last year and is coming off of a devastating knockout victory against Gerald Washington in January on FOX. His last three fights and six of his last seven have taken place at Barclays Center, where he has routinely brought out the area’s passionate Polish sports fans.

I’m excited to be back in the ring and back at home in Barclays Center, live on FOX and FOX Deportes,” va dir Kownacki. “Fighting Chris Arreola will be another step on my journey to become a world champion. It will be a Polish-Mexican War that will bring fireworks to Brooklyn. Make sure you’re there in Brooklyn or watching in primetime!”

Arreola (38-5-1, 33 KOs), a veteran of the heavyweight division, has contended for the world title three times, most recently against WBC champion Deontay Wilder in 2016. Since losing to Wilder, the 38-year-old Arreola from Los Angeles, California has put together back-to-back victories, including a stoppage of then unbeaten Jean Pierre Augustin on a PBC on FOX Sports pay-per-view undercard in March.

I can’t wait to step into the ring on August 3 and show everyone I’m still one of the best heavyweights in the world,” , Va dir Arreola. “I feel rejuvenated and ready to upset Adam Kownacki in front of his fans. Més li val estar llest, because I’m going to bring it to him like he’s never seen before. This is going to be a war and I will leave with my hand raised.” 

Berto (32-5, 24 KOs) has fought some of the top welterweight champions of this generation, including Floyd Mayweather. The 35-year-old won a welterweight world title with TKO victory over Miguel Angel Rodriguez in 2008 and successfully defended it five times before losing it to Victor Ortiz in 2011. He later avenged that loss to Ortiz with a knockout victory in 2016 on FOX. A native of Winter Haven Florida, Berto is coming off a split decision victory over former welterweight champion Devon Alexander in his last fight in August on FOX.

I’m looking forward to this fight on August 3,” dir Berto. “My focus is different, my motivation is different and my hunger is different. I’ve had a lot happen in my life in a short period of time with the loss of my father and the birth of my new baby girl, Legaci. It’s definitely turned me in to a whole different type of animal. August 3 is going to be cinematic. Barclays Centersee you soon. I’ve got some payback.

Creu (18-1, 12 KOs) is among a group of promising welterweights prepared to burst onto the scene in one of the most talent-rich division in boxing. The 28-year-old from Lake Mary, Florida will be stepping up a level with his bout against Berto. He scored a TKO victory over Luis Eduardo Florez in his last fight in January to bounce back from a decision loss to Josesito Lopez on FOX in April 2018.

I’m excited for all my Boricuas and NYC fight fans to come out and show love in August 3,Cruz said. “I want to thank everyone who made this opportunity possible, and I’m definitely going to make the most if it. This is a different era in boxing and I’m here to prove it to the world and to Andre Berto. Don’t miss this night of boxing.

The 28-year-old Browne (23-0, 16 KOs) won the interim title with a rousing unanimous decision victory over former two-division champion Badou Jack in January. La 2012 U.S. Olympian from Staten Island, Browne has fought at Barclays Center 12 times in his career as he made his steady climb up the light heavyweight ranks. Pascal will be the second straight former world champion that he has faced.

I’m honored and grateful to be able to display my skills on this huge platform on FOX and at Barclays Center, which is a second home for me and my boxing career,” va dir Browne, who will be fighting at Barclays Center for the 13th time.I anticipate Pascal bringing everything that he has into this fight because this is make or break for him. Malauradament per a ell, he will break, as I plan to win this fight decisively and continue my quest for a long and successful championship reign. I expect him to come in as prepared as a championship-caliber fighter and I’m staying motivated to get the win on August 3.

Pascal (33-6-1, 20 KOs) has been in the ring with the top fighters of his era during his brilliant career, inclòs Bernard Hopkins, Sergey Kovalev, Carl Froch, Lucian Bute and Chad Dawson. El jove de 36 anys, who was born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and now lives in Laval, Quebec, Canadà, won the light heavyweight world title with a unanimous decision over Adrian Diaconu in 2009. He is coming off a loss to Dmitry Bivol in his last fight after putting together back-to-back TKO victories over Ahmed Elbiali and Steve Bosse.

Marcus Browne is one of the most talented fighters in the world and I will have to be at my best to beat him,” said Pascal. “I’ve been training and I will be ready. I’ve got some veteran tricks he’s never seen before. I plan on out boxing him just like every other southpaw I’ve ever fought. I’ve never lost to a lefty and it’s going to stay that way come August 3.

UNDEFEATED HEAVYWEIGHT PROSPECTS JERMAINE FRANKLIN AND OTTO WALLIN TESTED IN SEPARATE SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION BOUTS FRIDAY, Juliol 12 VIURE A SHOWTIME

Top American Heavyweight Prospect Franklin Faces Jerry Forrest In Main Event While Sweden’s Otto Wallin Clashes With BJ Flores in Co-Featured Bout



Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Rentat.



NOVA YORK – May 30, 2019 – Two top undefeated heavyweight prospects will put their unblemished records on the line when they fight in separate bouts on ShoBox: La Nova Generació Divendres, Juliol 12 live on SHOWTIME from Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Rentat.



La millor perspectiva de pes pesat nord-americà Jermaine Franklin returns for his second consecutive test of 2018 a ShoBox against the streaking Jerry Forrest in the 10-round headliner. En la baralla co-estel·lar, undefeated Swedish heavyweight and top-10 ranked contender Otto Wallin will battle former world title challenger BJ Flors in a 10-round clash on the seventh ShoBox transmissió de 2019.



“The heavyweight division is the strongest it’s been in a generation with a number of new faces looking to position themselves for an eventual title shot,", va dir Gordon Hall, Productor Executiu ShoBox. “Otto Wallin is on the doorstep based on his rankings in the top 10 but he needs that statement win to get there. BJ Flores is not coming to test Wallin. He is coming to win and feels he has what it takes to teach Wallin a lesson.



“Jermaine Franklin is the best American heavyweight prospect and, at only 25 anys, still has a ton of growth potential. He passed his first test on ShoBox in April and we look forward to getting a second look at him in another step-up fight. Forrest is far more experienced than Franklin. This will be his fifth fight of 2019, and he is fully aware of what a win will do for his career.”



Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with Brian Halquist Productions, sortir a la venda dissabte, Juny 1 and are available via Ticketmaster and the Emerald Queen Box Office.



“This is an exciting time for the heavyweight division and on July 12 boxing fans will have an opportunity to witness two of the division’s best new faces in significant tests,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Jermaine Franklin’s goal is to be an American heavyweight world champion, and an impressive performance in a tough matchup with Jerry Forrest will be a significant step in his quest to the title.



“Otto Wallin is an example of what happens when you combine dreams and hard work. He grew up in a small town in Sweden and aims to challenge for the heavyweight world title and follow in the footsteps of Ingemar Johansson. Otto is fighting a proven veteran in BJ Flores who’s only losses have been in world title fights, so I expect it will be an exciting matchup from the opening bell.”



El Franklin, de 25 anys (18-0, 13 KOs), de Saginaw, Mich., és un antic aficionat destacat i a 2014 Campió Nacional de Guants d'Or. Un candidat probable per representar els EUA. al 2016 Jocs Olímpics, Franklin va rebutjar l'oportunitat de competir per un lloc a l'equip i, en canvi, va optar per començar la seva carrera professional 2015. Ampliament considerat com la millor perspectiva de pes pesat nord-americà, Franklin ha construït el seu rècord invicte amb relativa facilitat des que es va convertir en professional, eliminant nou dels seus primers 10 oponents professionals. Franklin made his SHOWTIME debut in the co-featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer event in April, obtenint una decisió unànime sobre l'antic núm. 1-Classificats als EUA. Amateur Rydell Booker.



“In my SHOWTIME debut earlier this year, I felt I could have put on a better show but I won and that’s most important,” Franklin said. “Winning this fight is an important step toward my dreams of fighting for a heavyweight championship. This fight also is a chance for the fans to see me more focused and prepared. Jerry Forrest has been around the game for a while and he brings a lot of skills to the ring. I will be ready for him.”



Forrest (25-2, 19 KOs), de Newport News, Va., has won eighteen consecutive bouts since dropping back-to-back contests to world title challenger Gerald Washington and Michael Hunter, whose only professional loss came to former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Forrest, a 6-foot-1 southpaw, scored an eight-round unanimous decision over Joshua Tufte his last time out in April.



“This is a long time coming for me,” said Forrest. “My record and my potential are definitely worthy to fight in the main event on national television. This is where I should be. I’m very comfortable and I’m not at all overwhelmed. I’ve fought in the Nationals and big tournaments and I’m not afraid of the spotlight. Franklin throws a lot of punches and tries to bully you out. He’s not super accurate from what I see. He’s a heavyweight who will try to outwork you. I see him as a very similar fighter to Andy Ruiz. My training is going great, I haven’t been out of shape in two years. I’ve been in the gym grinding and doing it old school.”



Wallin (20-0, 13 KOs, 1 ND) va fer la seva U.S. debut on SHOWTIME in April, also on the undercard of Shields-Hammer, but his fight with Nick Kisner was cut short after an accidental headbutt left Kisner unable to continue, resulting in a No Decision. The 6-foot-5 Wallin turned pro in 2013 i a poc a poc ha pujat en el rànquing enregistrant 20 straight wins in Europe prior to his American debut. The 28-year-old southpaw won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Anthony Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Currently ranked in the top-ten by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.



“My U.S. debut did not go the way I had hoped and I didn’t get a chance to show off my skills,” said Wallin. “I’m really looking forward to going out there again getting a chance to show a lot more. This is a fight I need to win if I want to go somewhere. I need to win and I need to look good doing it. I need to be sharp at all times and not take anything for granted. This is a sport where everything can change in the blink of an eye.”



Flors (34-4-1, 21 KOs) es va convertir en professional en 2003 and has enjoyed a long, successful career competing mostly as a cruiserweight. Undefeated through the first seven years and 25 baralles de la seva carrera, Flores suffered his first setback when he traveled to Australia to challenge Danny Green for his IBO Cruiserweight world title, dropping a unanimous decision. The Arizona native bounced back by winning eight of his next nine fights before getting a second chance at a world title, again traveling to his opponent’s hometown. Aquesta vegada, Flores was stopped by WBC Cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew in Liverpool. Flores has since moved to heavyweight, where he has won two of his three fights.



“Not only is this a winnable fight for me, Jo sóc 100 percent winning this,” said Flores. “I’m working with [entrenadors] Angel Heredia and Ibn Cason and world class heavyweight Kubrat Pulev. Working with this team is perfect for getting my strength and conditioning up for this fight, and sparring with one of the top guys in the world in Pulev is making me very sharp. I know Wallin is undefeated and has a good amateur style. He’s tall and has good boxing ability. I know he’s got some talent and is a young up and coming guy. He’ll be trying to make a name for himself off of my name, so I’ll be ready for that.”



Barry Tompkins convocarà l'acció des del ring amb l'historiador de boxa Steve Farhood i l'excampió del món Raul Marquez com a analistes experts.. El productor executiu és Gordon Hall amb Richard Gaughan produint i Rick Phillips dirigint.

Quina il·lusió estàs de lluitar als EUA??

Christina Hammer: “Estic molt emocionat perquè aquesta és una lluita molt gran. No puc esperar per arribar-hi, pujar al ring i fer una gran actuació.”

Què significa aquesta lluita per a vostè?

CH: “Aquesta serà la lluita de dones més gran de la història. Els dos som campions, té medalles d'or olímpiques i altres reconeixements, així que amb tot això combinat, serà un canvi de joc per al nostre esport.”

Què has de fer per guanyar?

CH: “Sóc campió des de fa temps i sé què fer al ring. Sé que tinc les habilitats per vèncer-la. Tinc un gran treball amb els peus i el meu objectiu és guanyar-la malament.”

Què en penseu de la Claressa dins i fora del ring??

CH: “Claressa, òbviament, ha aconseguit moltes coses tornant als Jocs Olímpics. Aquest és un gran pas per a ella i crec que serà un repte per a ella. Com a persona, ella només és la meva oponent, això és tot.”

CH: “La boxa és un gran esport. Necessites tècnica, intel·ligència i et fa sentir més segur. Si passa alguna cosa, pots cuidar-te. És el millor entrenament i el suggereixo a tothom.”

Claressa ESCUTS


 
"La Christina no sap què li vindrà. Vaig a trencar aquest martell per la meitat.


 
"Quan som allà dins, es tracta de qui colpeja més fort. Aquesta és una baralla de veritat. Només perquè té alçada, no vol dir que ella dicti què passa. Ella haurà de fer moltes coses per allunyar-me d'ella.


 
"Tinc dues medalles d'or olímpiques, vindran tres cinturons i més. Tindré tots els títols al final de la nit d'abril 13.


 
“Treballo dur, molt dur. Si jo fos un home, Segurament seria un dels boxejadors més famosos que hi ha. Hi ha una bretxa de gènere. Tots ho sabem. Estic treballant per canviar-ho. Treballem dur, obtenim menys diners i menys reconeixement, però el món està canviant. Ho estem canviant.


 
"Hammer ha estat parlant malament, però no estic preocupat per ella. Només estic preparat per a una baralla. Parla de moltes coses que no tenen res a veure amb la boxa. Estic esperant que em digui que em colpejarà amb un uppercut o alguna cosa així, però és més del mateix.


 
"Estar aquí a Florida per acabar el campament ha estat realment ideal. Encara he estat treballant molt dur, però aquí tinc una mica més d'espai i sol. Era hora d'un nou paisatge al campament i crec que aquest va ser el moviment perfecte per portar-me a la setmana de lluita.


 
"He estat treballant en el meu "Ali shuffle".,Aquest gimnàs em va inspirar. No us estranyeu si em veieu trencar-ho durant la baralla. Tinc alguns trucs a la màniga. A la roda de premsa també hi haurà algunes sorpreses: tinc un vestit escollit que em robarà el protagonisme".


 
"Aquesta lluita s'ha de fer molt de temps i m'alegro de tenir l'oportunitat de mostrar-li el que és un veritable campió. Algú baixarà a l'abril 13 i prometo que no seré jo.


 
"La gent pot dir que no t'està fent cas i que no t'estudia, però estan mentint. M'alegro que em miri de prop. Hammer va fer volar un dels meus amics per ser un company d'esparg, ni tan sols sabent que fa anys que no m'esperen i no sap res de mi. Em fa saber que estic en la seva ment. Pot jugar amb Ann Wolfe i encara no em guanyarà".

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (Abril 3, 2019) – Contendents de pes pesats en ascens invicteJermaine Franklin i Otto Wallin buscaran fer un toc i anunciar-se a la divisió de pes pesat quan intervenin per a combats separats en directe a SHOWTIME dissabte, Abril 13 del Boardwalk Hall d'Atlantic City.

L'SHOWTIME BOXING: El tripleheader de l'EDICIÓ ESPECIAL s'emetrà a partir de les 9 p.m. ET/PT i està encapçalat per Claressa Shields lluitant contra Christina Hammer pel campionat indiscutible de pes mitjà femení.

Franklin s'enfrontarà a Rydell Booker mentre Wallin s'enfrontarà a Nick Kisner en un parell d'atraccions de 10 rondes abans de l'esdeveniment principal.. Tant per Franklin com per Wallin, veuen l'abril 13 com un pas cap als seus objectius més grans.

“Booker està en el camí d'on eventualment estic intentant ser,” va dir Franklin. “Formo part d'aquesta nova generació de pesos pesats i estic treballant dur per acabar com a campió de pes pesat quan la pols s'instal·li.. Sempre trobo la manera de guanyar i ho mostraré el 13 d'abril.”

“Arribant als EUA. perquè la segona part de la meva carrera és molt emocionant,” va dir Wallin. “He fet moltes coses en la meva carrera a Europa, però aquest és un nou començament. Aquest és el moment amb el qual he somiat des que em vaig posar els guants per primera vegada i no puc esperar per presentar-me als aficionats aquí.”

Un jove de 25 anys de Saginaw, Michigan, Franklin espera demostrar que està preparat per convertir-se en el proper campió nord-americà de pes pesat, i està preparat per prendre el mantell de l'actual títol del CMB Deontay Wilder i la llarga línia de campions nord-americans de pes pesat que li van precedir..

“Vaig a augmentar la competència entre els pesos pesats,” va dir Franklin. “Definitivament, la divisió ha tornat al mapa i estic pensant en col·laborar-hi per fer que sigui imprescindible veure la televisió una vegada més. Amèrica necessita una altra cara a la divisió de pes pesat i aquesta seré jo.

“Ja crec que sóc el millor pes pesat del món. N'hi ha molts grans, pesos pesants forts, però sóc un esportista equilibrat, que em fa diferent. Sóc fort, ràpid, atlètic i millorant amb cada lluita.”

Encara que la seva Suècia natal no és coneguda per la boxa, El país natal de Wallin ha produït anteriorment un campió de pes pesat a Ingemar Johansson, que va aturar a Floyd Patterson en la seva primera baralla al Yankee Stadium a 1959. Després de derrotar al seu compatriota pes pesat suec Adrian Granat en la seva última lluita, Wallin va decidir que era hora de lluitar als EUA., després de colònies d'entrenament anteriors a Nova York amb l'entrenador Joey Gamache.

“Entrenar aquí a Nova York m'aporta una gran energia i es nota en el meu rendiment,” va dir Wallin. “És el centre del món, i mentre estic totalment centrat en la formació, M'alimento de l'energia de la ciutat.

“Per descomptat, Ingemar Johansson és una gran inspiració per a mi. Quan va arribar als EUA. i va vèncer a Floyd Patterson, era l'home més dolent del planeta. Estic buscant agafar aquest mantell i convertir-me en un heroi per als joves boxejadors suecs, tal com ha estat per a mi.”

A més de ser els EUA de Wallin. debut, els pesos pesats invictes faran les seves primeres aparicions a SHOWTIME i serà la primera vegada que Franklin lluiti al nord-est. Tots ells esperen mostrar els seus respectius talents i estan preparats per al que ve amb la plataforma augmentada.

“Aquesta és una gran oportunitat per a mi per mostrar les meves habilitats, però encara ho tracte com una baralla més,” va dir Franklin. “M'adaptaré al meu oponent i exposaré les seves debilitats. Sempre estic millorant perquè un cop creus que ho saps tot, és llavors quan descobreixes que no saps res.”

“Només sóc un nen d'una petita ciutat de Suècia i he treballat molt per arribar a aquest punt,” va dir Wallin. “Entrenant aquí als EUA. i lluitar aquí m'ajudarà a tenir el millor rendiment de la meva carrera. La diversió comença a l'abril 13 i no paré fins a ser campió.”

Tots dos van signar recentment amb Salita Promotions de Dmitriy Salita i l'abril 13 començarà un any que podria deixar a cada lluitador al precipici d'un cop per al títol.

“A l'abril 13 dos dels millors pesos pesats del món, un dels EUA, un de Suècia, tots dos tindran l'oportunitat d'afirmar que estan preparats per desafiar el títol de pes pesat,” Said Paraula.

“Jermaine Franklin és, amb diferència, la millor perspectiva de pes pesat nord-americà que aviat serà un contendent i campió. Tindrà una gran oportunitat per mostrar les seves habilitats i vàlua contra els experimentats, Rydell Booker famolenc i consumat.

“La boxa és un esport d'històries individuals i Otto Wallin n'és un gran exemple. Un pes pesat millor valorat d'una petita ciutat de Suècia, està demostrant que els somnis, combinat amb un treball dur, pot fer-se realitat. És un dels millors contendents de pes pesat d'Europa i d'abril 13 demostrarà que pertany a l'elit dels EUA.”

Amb aquesta oportunitat d'anunciar-se a la resurgent divisió de pes pesat, Franklin i Wallin tenen claus per a actuacions obertes el proper dissabte.

“El meu objectiu final és convertir-me en campió del món i crec que ara mateix estic pel bon camí,” va dir Wallin, qui ocupa el lloc n. 5 per l'IBF i l'AMB. “Vaig passar bons anys lluitant a Europa, però ara és el moment de passar al següent nivell. No puc esperar per mostrar a tothom de què sóc i oferir grans baralles als aficionats.”

“Tinc previst ser una força important a la divisió de pes pesat a finals d'any,” va dir Franklin. “És la meva festa de sortida. Sento que els meus somnis es faran realitat. Vaig a mostrar a tothom qui sóc: el millor pes pesat nou del món.”

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, el qual és promogut per Saleta, tenen un preu de $150, $100, $55 i $35 i es poden comprar a través de Ticketmaster i aboardwalkhall.com.
