Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. & His Legendary Father In Training Camp, Preparing For His SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Debut on Saturday, April 18, moyo Showtime
VIDEO PREVIEW LINK: http://s.sho.com/1c5cLDQ
“I had a hard life so yes, I am angry with him.” – Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.
“I had all Mexico and the world at my feet at that time. But it still didn’t fill the void…So what was it that I looked for? The easiest and stupidest things…drugs and alcohol.” – Julio Cesar Chavez, SR.
NEW YORK (April 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Mphoto-kuwina zino ONSE kupeza returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his Showtime Championship nkhonya® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara pa Loweruka, April 18, padziko NTHAWI YACHIWONETSERO (10 p.m. AND/ 7 p.m. PT) kuyambira StubHub Center ku Carson, Calif.
ONSE kupeza: Chavez premieres Friday, April 10, mwamsanga pambuyo pa moyo ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader at 10 p.m. AND/PT.
ONSE kupeza: Chavez is written and reported by SHOWTIME Sports contributor Mark Kriegel. Author of acclaimed biographies “The Good Son: The Life of Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini” and “Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich,” Kriegel has long focused on the conflicts and complexities that beset fathers and sons in sports.
With unprecedented access to the young star–Mexico’s first and only middleweight world champion–and his famous father, ONSE kupezauncovers the stormy yet loving relationship between Junior and his legendary father.
No question remains unanswered in a series of interviews at Junior’s high-altitude camp in Lake Tahoe, where his father once trained. What was it like to grow up as the son of Mexico’s greatest fighter? What price does a fighter pay for drugs and alcohol? And what does it do to his family?
Only the ending remains in doubt: Is Junior being punished for the sins of his father, or is he doomed to repeat them?
“Fame can be a disease, like addiction,” says Kriegel. “And this family has battled both. Junior and Senior weren’t merely candid. They were confessional. Ndipo, Ndikuganiza, courageous, too.”
Ndi ONSE kupeza cameras entrenched in camp, viewers will meet three generations of Mexico’s most famous fighting family as the 29-year-old Junior navigates a crossroads of his career.
ONSE kupeza: CHAVEZ premieres on SHOWTIME with multiple encore presentations. ONSE kupeza will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, Showtime iliyonse® pa Intaneti paSHO.com/Sports.
