“That’s why I train hard and give everything in the gym. I want to be amazing that night and a knockout would be a perfect ending.”

A continuació es mostra el que Selby, Warrington i els seus respectius entrenadors ho van dir a la roda de premsa d'avui:

Llegeix Selby

"Sóc el campió del món i un campió del món hauria d'estar preparat i disposat a defensar el seu títol a qualsevol part del món. Són només cinc hores per la carretera des d'on visc, així que per a mi no és tant el cau dels lleons.

 

 

 

"Aquesta és només una altra defensa per a mi. És una altra lluita. Tracto a tots els oponents igual. No entreno per a un determinat estil o un determinat oponent. Em preparo per fer-me bé i passi el que passi aquella nit, Sé que he fet el millor possible per preparar-me.

 

 

 

"Alguns experts diuen que el seu estil em donarà un problema, però altres experts diuen que el seu estil està fet a mida per a mi. Això és el millor de la boxa. És un esport d'opinió.

 

 

 

"No sóc Muhammad Ali, No puc predir la ronda a la qual guanyaré, però només em veig guanyant. Si no ho fes, aleshores no hauria d'estar aquí. Si ets boxejador professional i no tens la determinació de convertir-te en campió del món, llavors no hauríeu d'estar en el joc.

 

 

 

"Tenir a Carl Frampton present no serà una distracció en absolut. Però si dissabte surto al capdavant, ell és qui vull després. Voldria entrar directament en aquesta lluita a Belfast.

 

 

 

"No vaig a provocar una discussió com ha estat fent ell. Sóc un noi humil. A la primera roda de premsa es va córrer la boca. Potser els nois de Leeds volen que guanyis, però la resta del país espera que guanyi. La gent no t'agrada".

Josh Warrington

"Estic molt relaxat. Ens vam divertir una mica a la darrera roda de premsa i a les entrevistes. Sento que no necessito dir res més. Els últims mesos, He passat el meu cos a l'infern. Dono absolutament tot el que tinc cada vegada que entro al gimnàs. jo dono 100 per cent. Després de tota la xerrada sobre jo i Lee potencialment lluitant, va arribar a aquest campament i li vaig donar tot.

 

 

 

“Parlo molt del destí. Fa uns pocs anys, vam tenir l'oportunitat de lluitar per un títol mundial i no em va sortir, i ara tinc una altra oportunitat. Amb com han anat les coses, qualsevol cosa podria haver passat en aquests dos anys. Lee podria haver mogut de pes o haver estat colpejat, però s'ha vist com sempre ho vaig somiar i ho vaig planificar. Sempre he volgut lluitar per un títol mundial a Elland Road i ja és aquí.

 

 

 

"He somiat amb això tantes vegades, Estic a punt per anar. Ja no cal parlar. Dissabte a la nit, Puc donar-li un cop de puny a la cara. Això va més enllà dels somnis, sobretot des que m'han donat de baixa. Jo segueixo endavant i els aficionats s'han quedat darrere meu. Són molt lleials i ho fem junts. Després de dissabte a la nit seré conegut com el primer campió del món de Leeds.

 

 

 

“Sóc capaç d'adaptar-me a qualsevol estil. Em coneixen com un lluitador de pressió, però sempre he estat capaç d'adaptar-me i fer el que he de fer per guanyar. Estic disposat a arribar tan lluny. Només ho vull molt malament. Per tot el que he passat, tot porta a aquesta lluita. Donaré tota l'energia del meu cos per guanyar aquest títol mundial.

 

 

 

"Continueu amb les vostres fotos i tota la resta amb aquest cinturó aquesta setmana, perquè es queda aquí amic. Un cop arriba aquí, aquest títol mundial es queda".

 

Toni Borg, Entrenador de Lee Selby

“La formació ha estat de primer nivell. Ho ha posat tot, no s'enfila fora del gimnàs. La seva vida és tota boxa. L'entrenament ha anat perfectament com sempre. Crec que s'estan posant moltes coses sobre com tractarà amb aquesta multitud hostil: hi prosperarà., creieu-me.

 

 

 

"No només estic confiat, Estic 101 per cent segur que Lee Selby sortirà i prosperarà amb les hostilitats. Josh és molt bon lluitador, però Lee és un lluitador d'elit. Està un nivell per sobre de Josh, crec."

Sean O'Hagan, L'entrenador de Josh Warrington

"Cada entrenador et dirà que han tingut el millor campament de sempre. El que diré és que et prepares per a la lluita davant teu. Ens estem preparant específicament per a Lee. Aquest campament ha estat molt relaxat, ha fluït tan bé. No hi ha hagut defectes. Estem tots molt relaxats.

 

 

 

"Hem fet una mica més de sparring perquè Lee té un estil que ho requereix. No ho oblidem, és un molt bon lluitador. La nostra preparació ha estat molt bona. Hem tingut molt bon sparring i hem cobert tots els aspectes de l'entrenament. Hem fet més. Ho hem pensat més. Hem aprofundit en les coses. Puc comptar d'una mà la quantitat de vegades que ha estat colpejat net en totes les rondes que hem fet d'esparg".

Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champ Faces Hanna Gabriels in the Main Event of SHOWTIME BOXING: EDICIÓ ESPECIAL Divendres, Juny 22 Visca TEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ®

 

Feu clic a AQUÍ for Photos from Terrell Groggins

 

DETROIT (Maig 10, 2018) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and unified women’s super middleweight champion Claressa Shields worked out for the media and spoke to local youth Wednesday at The Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit. The boxing star is two weeks into training camp ahead of her SHOWTIME BOXING: EDICIÓ ESPECIAL showdown Friday, Juny 22 a 10 p.m. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from the historic Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

Els Shields, de 23 anys, who grew up in nearby Flint, will attempt to become a two-division world champion when she faces unified women’s 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Titles.

 

 

 

Ahead of the crucial middleweight world title fight, Shields has altered her preparations significantly. She has changed her diet, switched to renowned trainer John David Jackson and has moved her camp from Michigan to Florida.

 

 

Joining Shields at the workout on Wednesday was Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions. Here is what Shields and Salita had to say.

Claressa Escuts:

On fighting in Detroit…

“To fight in Detroit for a world title on SHOWTIME and to be mentioned with great Detroit fighters like Tommy Hearns and James Toney is incredible. Those guys are known worldwide. It shows me that I have a chance to do the same thing and bring attention to women’s boxing. That’s my goal overall – to make sure women’s boxing lives for a long time”

 

On moving camp to Florida…

“You really can’t deal with unnecessary distractions getting ready for big world title fights like I have been having. You want people pushing you to be better and not have people pulling you down.

 

 

 

“I was dealing with everybody who’s around pulling me left and right and calling me at 2, 3 o’clock in the morning. All this negative stuff that goes on in Flint that 23-year-olds are being involved in is something I can’t be involved in. That initially made me do the whole move. I have to stay focused and work hard on my goal of beating Hanna Gabriels and capturing the world title in a second division.

 

On training with John David Jackson…

“We’re on the same page and we’re always talking about the game plan for Hanna and what we’re going to do and what we have to work on. John doesn’t try to change my style, he just makes small adjustments to improve the good things that got me to this level. I feel great about this camp so far and I look forward to putting it all together in June.”

 

On Hanna Gabriels…

“Hanna is a talented world champion. I have a lot of respect for her skills and accomplishments. It takes great, competitive matches to bring women’s boxing to an elite level and that’s what I want to do. I always said that I want to fight the best. Al juny 22, I look forward to putting on a special performance for the fans watching the fight on SHOWTIME and those at the Masonic Temple. It’s going to be a special night and I can’t wait to capture my second division world title close to home in front of my hometown fans live on SHOWTIME.”

 

On being an inspiration for kids…

“Kids need to know that everything is possible. I decided to be an Olympic gold medalist at the age of 11. I did it when I was 17. How do you stay focused on one goal all that time? Take one step towards it every day, sometimes small and sometimes bigger. Però, the important thing is to keep focused on your goal. If you persevere and work hard enough, truly everything is possible”

 

Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions

“We had a tremendous media turnout at today’s media workout at Detroit Downtown Boxing Club. It’s very special to see such support for Claressa, who’s story and success transcends boxing and is very much in line with the comeback story of Flint and Detroit – “America’s Greatest Comeback City”.

 

 

 

“It’s very meaningful for kids in Detroit gyms like the Downtown Boxing Club to see someone that came from a similar background and neighborhood that they did and accomplish all the amazing things that Claressa is doing. Claressa makes them see and believe that through hard work, belief and focus everything is possible. Boxing is a tool that she has mastered with which to deliver this very important message.

 

 

 

“June 22 is going to be one of the biggest fights of the year and one of the most meaningful and memorable moments in sports and women’s boxing.”

Leave a comment

With her long-time rival, Claressa Escuts, moving down to middleweight, Baltimore’s Franchon “The Heavy-Hitting Diva” Crews-Dezurn will finally be getting her own deserved chance to shine.

 

 

 

One of the best female fighters in the world not currently holding a world title, Crews-Dezurn (3-1, 1 KO) will return to the ring for a six-round fight on the non-televised undercard of the blockbuster “It’s Our Time to Shine” event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion Shields attempting to become a two-division world champion against unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships.

Not long ago, Crews-Dezurn, an eight-time national amateur champion and two-time medalist at the World Amateur Championships, looked to be the face of American women’s boxing before Shields, a younger boxing prodigy, stole much of her thunder and her spot on the inaugural women’s Olympic boxing team.

 

 

 

The pair faced each other again in their simultaneous pro debuts in late 2016, with Shields winning a decision.

 

 

 

Des de llavors, Crews has signed with Shields’ promoter, Promocions Dmitriy Word of Word, and won three straight fights in impressive fashion.

 

 

 

“Training is going good,” said Crews-Dezurn. “I’ve been helping my husband Glenn get ready for his next fight, so I’m already in great shape. I’m very happy to be getting back in the ring.”

 

 

 

An entrepreneur, cantant, and business student in addition to boxing, the charismatic Crews-Dezurn is as marketable as any fighter could be, but has been forced to live in the sizable shadow cast by the success of Shields.

 

 

 

No obstant això, now that Shields is off chasing a showdown with German counterpart Christina Hammer at middleweight, the super middleweight division has an opening for a new world champion.

 

 

 

“I’d like to be fighting for a title within the next year,” continued Crews-Dezurn. “I know in my heart I’m right there with the best super middleweights in the world. I just need to keep working hard and let things happen like they should.”

 

 

 

Promoter Salita, a champion of women’s boxing and one of the main forces behind its resurgence, says Crews-Dezurn’s day is coming soon.

 

 

 

“Franchon will be world champion in the not-too-distant future,"Ell va dir. “She has all the skills and she works very hard to reach her goals. She deserves all the success she will have. I’m happy to be promoting her career. She’s a very special fighter and person.”

 

 

 

Crews-Dezurn’s opponent is currently TBA. “It’s Our Time to Shine” is presented by Salita Promotions.

Undefeated Puerto Rican Bantamweight Manny Rodriguez Ready for Former World Champion Paul Butler This Saturday at 02 Arena

Leave a comment
Bantamweight contender Emmanuel “Manny” Rodriguez and his team have landed safely and ready to face former world champion Paul “Baby Faced Assassin” Butler for the vacant IBF World Championship, aquest dissabte, Maig 5, at the O2 Arena in London.

 

 

 

 

Presented by Matchroom Boxing, Rodríguez (17-0, 12 KOs), de Puerto Rico, and Butler (26-1, 14 KOs), 29, d'Anglaterra, will meet in a 12-round supporting bout to the all-British rematch between former World Heavyweight Champions Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KOs) and David Haye (28-3, 26 KOs).

 

 

 

 

Rodriguez almost had his very promising boxing career derailed for a time by an unfortunate car accident in which he burned 66% of his body. After a long rehab, he returned, and went on a, fins ara, 17-fight tear through the professional ranks.

 

 

 

The 25-year-old was the mandatory contender to face former champion Ryan Burnett, who chose to relinquish his belts. This allowed for Butler to slide into the fight for the unclaimed belt.

 

 

 

29-year-old Butler previously held the IBF belt, but before defending it, elected to drop down in weight to face then-champion Zolani Tete… and was stopped in the eighth round. He has won nine fights since.

 

 

 

“It has been a long road to this fight, but I am ready to win my first world championship,"Va dir Rodriguez. “Paul Butler is a good fighter, però res pot aturar-. I have worked too hard to get here. It doesn’t matter that we’re in his backyard. I’ve done everything right getting ready for this and I look forward to bringing the belt back to my beloved country of Puerto Rico.”

 

 

 

Rodriguez’ co-promoter, Leon Margules de Warriors Boxing, says a star will be born Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Manny has always been a superstar in the making. I am happy he is finally getting the chance to shine in front of a large audience, arreu del món. I have no doubt he will win impressively and set himself up for several big showdowns in the near future.”

AWE to Air Live Bellew v. Haye II, en dissabte, 5 de maig

 

 

L'esperada represa entre Tony Bellew i David Haye s'emetrà en directe i exclusivament a AWE
 

 

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – Abril 12, 2018 -Paul Butler té l'oportunitat de convertir-se en dues vegades campió mundial de pes gallo de la FIB quan s'enfronta a l'invicte Emmanuel Rodríguez a l'O2 de Londres el maig. 5, en directe a AWE-A Wealth of Entertainment.

 

 

 

L'enfrontament de Butler amb Rodríguez forma part d'una gran nit d'acció a Greenwich, mentre els rivals de pes pesat Tony Bellew i David Haye s'enfronten en una represa molt esperada..

 

 

 

Butler va aterrar la corretja IBF a l'abril 2014 agafant-lo de Stuart Hall a Newcastle abans de deixar la corretja per baixar a Super-Flyweight al març 2015 per desafiar al campió de l'IBF, Zolani Tete.

 

 

 

L'"Assassí cara de nadó".’ va tornar a les 118 lliures i va tornar a la lluita pel títol quan va veure còmodament a Hall en una represa a Liverpool al setembre., i està classificat amb quatre a l'IBF, un lloc per darrere del millor valorat Rodríguez.

 

 

 

Els invictes 25 el visitant d'un any està ben valorat per haver córrer 17-0 a les files de pagament amb 12 guanya dins la distància, un ascens encara més impressionant després d'un bagatge d'aficionats que va ser atrofiat per un accident de cotxe.

 

 

 

El viatge de Rodríguez a Londres és el seu primer fora d'Amèrica des que es va convertir en professional i el primer en la distància del campionat, i Butler té la intenció de fer del viatge un miserable per al porto-riqueny i recuperar el seu títol.

 

 

 

“Estic molt emocionat per això,” va dir Butler. “Aquesta és la raó per la qual vam venir a Eddie en primer lloc, Sabia que em lliuraria les grans baralles. Estem a només quatre setmanes. És una gran prova però estic segur.

 

 

 

“És un honor tornar a disputar el títol de l'IBF. Vull tornar a guanyar-lo i espero defensar, cosa que no vaig tenir l'oportunitat de fer l'última vegada.

 

 

 

“En aquell moment va semblar una bona idea desallotjar, però mirant enrere ara hauria d'haver agafat el cinturó. Hauria d'haver treballat la meva força i condicionament, va omplir i defensar el meu títol. Definitivament tinc alguns assumptes pendents amb això – seria genial sortir-hi i tornar-lo a guanyar.

 

 

 

“És una prova més dura l'última vegada que vaig guanyar el títol, però estic preparat per al repte. M'he millorat a mi mateix. Se'l promociona com la propera gran superestrella, però quants d'ells vénen aquí i es tornen al cap?

 

 

 

“Mai vaig mirar als meus oponents, però com que m'he relacionat amb Joe, sempre m'envia petits clips. Sembla un bon nen, li agrada treballar a la gamma mitjana, però en realitat no vull dir massa sobre el que fa i no ho fa bé.

 

 

 

“No m'importa el gran i dur que sigui – tots dos tenim dos braços, dues cames, ell és de Puerto Rico i jo sóc d'Ellesmere Port, així que anem-hi. Veig que aquesta és una molt bona lluita, A tots dos ens agrada anar cos a cap, cap a cos, però sortiré sent el dos cops campió mundial de pes gallo de la FIB.”

 

 

 

Els superpesos mitjans John Ryder i Jamie Cox s'enfronten en un enfrontament crucial a la divisió de 168 lliures i Martin J.. Ward defensa el seu títol europeu de pes súper ploma contra James Tennyson.

 

 

 

L'hora d'inici prevista és 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT.

 

La targeta de lluita també es retransmetrà en directe a través de KlowdTV al canal AWE.
