“When we saw the opportunity to deliver this great super middleweight championship fight to the U.S. watazamaji, we jumped at it,” said Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports, Stephen Espinoza. “We thank Matchroom Sport for making it possible for us to carry this bonus coverage to the U.S. Doing so compliments our robust digital and social media content plan serving boxing fans online and attracting new ones. This further demonstrates our unrivaled commitment to the sport. No one is making a more significant and impactful contribution to boxing’s momentum than SHOWTIME.”
Former three-time title challenger Groves and former champ Chudinov (14-1, 10 Kos) will meet for the vacant WBA Super Middleweight World Championship in a matchup of the WBA’s No. 1 na No. 2 challengers in a co-featured bout at Bramall Lane.
Wamo (25-3, 18 Kos) has won four straight since teaming up with 2016 Trainer of the Year Shane McGuigan following a close split-decision loss to then-WBC Champion Badou Jack in 2015. The only other blemishes on his record came in title challenges to long-time 168-pound champ Carl Froch.
“I believe this is the best opportunity for me to achieve my dream and become world champion,” Groves said earlier this week. “Time is on my side. I had a good year last year, and I’m in a good place. I’ve put in the work, na sasa, I need to make this count.
“Everything that’s happened in the past has just made me more determined. I know the pressure is on, and I can’t afford to make any more mistakes. This might be my best chance to win a world title, but it could also be my last.”
Chudinov (14-1, 10 Kos) originally won the WBA Super Middleweight Title with a split-decision victory over Felix Sturm in 2015 and made one successful defense before losing via controversial majority decision in a rematch with Sturm in 2016. Sturm later vacated the belt due to injury, opening up the opportunity for Chudinov to win back his title Jumamosi hii against Groves. Chudinov is ranked No. 1 by the WBA while Groves is ranked No. 2.

SHEFFIELD (Mei 24) – Kell Brook will make his fourth IBF Welterweight World Title defense against U.S. star Errol Spence Jr. at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England this Saturday May 27, kuishi juu ya Showtime (5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT).
Brook (36-1, 25 Kos) and mandatory challenger Spence, (21-0, 18 Kos), clash on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in one of the biggest fights in the 147-pound division, and the elite pairing are promising to deliver an electric night of action.
Both fighters participated in a public media workout today, Jumatano, at Peace Gardens in Sheffield, England. Below is what they had to say:
KELL BROOK
“We are going to rock Sheffield Jumamosi usiku. Mimi niko tayari, I’m pumped, Siwezi kusubiri.
“There is a lot of pressure but I always perform better under pressure. I’m meant to be on the big stage, I’m ready for the pressure and to see the bright lights.
"[Errol Spence] is a serious dude from America, he’s a young hungry lion, but he’s not beaten anyone like me. I’m a champion and I’ve been a champion. I’m defending. I know both sides of the coin, I’ve prepared very well.
“I’m ready for a war. And that’s what you’re going to see – a war Jumamosi usiku. There are going to be two winners Jumamosi usiku: that is going to be myself and everyone watching.
“There’s no way he can beat me. I’m a man possessed and I have a serious job to do. This is my night to shine.
“I love it [being the underdog]. I was born for it. People don’t have me winning this fight, but that just gives me the extra energy I need to go out and prove them all wrong.
“This guy is a talented guy, but he’s never been tested. He’s never been in with someone who is so determined like me. Who’s bigger, nguvu, who has all this energy, who’s meant for this game, who’s meant to be a winner. He hasn’t been in with someone with that mindset, and that’s what I’m coming to bring Jumamosi.
“All the hard work has been done. The talking will stop; we’re ready to let some fireworks fly now.
“I can see us both maybe hitting the canvas. You’re going to be on the edge of your seat from round one. He’s not going to take a backwards step, and I’m not [ama]. All I can say is it’s going to be a thriller.
“I’ve arrived. Ni ndoto ya kuja kweli. It’s going to be so perfect for me that night to walk out and just see everyone. The electricity is going to be phenomenal.”
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“This is my time, this is my era. This is my time to shine. This is my time to get the belts, this is my time to unify and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. This is just another stepping stone to get to where I want to be.
"Nina 100 asilimia tayari, Mimi nina 100 percent focused, and I’m 100 percent ready to give the fans what they want, which is a real great fight.
“I can’t let the fans get to me. I’m not worried about him having his hometown fans. Eventually everyone will be my fans by the end of the night.
“I don’t feel the pressure at all. I feel like there is more pressure on him because he’s fighting at home. Of course there’s pressure on me to win, but I welcome that pressure. It’s going to do nothing but motivate me, make me more hungry and make we want to win even more.
“You just have to have that ‘it’ factor, and I think I have it. I’m not worried about the crowd, I’m not worried about the boos or anything like that.
“It’s a good step-up. Kell Brook is a good fighter, he has great skills. I welcome this step-up – I’ve been asking for it for a long time and I’m finally getting my opportunity.
“My confidence comes from my hard work. I know the hours and time that I put in the gym.”
“This is an ideal situation. I would be disappointed if I was fighting someone else because he vacated. Mimi nina mpiganaji halisi, Nataka kupambana bora, I want to fight the champion and earn it the right way. I can’t wait to prove I am one of the best fighters in the welterweight division.
“I’ve been on the USA team for a long time. Kama amateur, representing U.S. in the Olympics and as a pro having this USA patch on me and fighting for my country. Najisikia Jumamosi is kind of like a USA vs UK battle. And U.S.A. is going to win.”

“Nimefurahiya sana juu ya vita hii haswa, Hasa kwa sababu wapiganaji wote wanapaswa kuwa kwenye mchezo wao wa A. Najua kuna mazungumzo juu ya upasuaji wa macho wa Kell kuwa shida ya kisaikolojia, Lakini kutoka kwa uzoefu wa kibinafsi, Sioni kuwa hivyo. Sikuwahi kufikiria juu ya jicho langu mara tu daktari alinipa taa ya kijani kibichi.
“Kuniuliza ni nani atakayeshinda vita hii, Nina kipenzi changu katika Errol Spence. Lakini, Kulingana na sanaa ya kila mpiganaji wa kila mpiganaji, Punch moja inaweza kugeuza meza pande zote. Kwamba kuwa alisema, Nitakaa nyuma na kutazama usiku mzuri wa ndondi. "
Keith Thurman - Unified WBA & Bingwa wa Dunia wa WBC Welterweight
"Hii ni vita ya kupendeza. Sijamfuata Kell sana, Lakini ni wazi nimeona mapigano ya Errol huko U.S. Errol ni ngumu, mpiganaji mchanga ambaye anaingia tu kwenye jicho la umma, Na dhahiri Kell ana nguvu ya umati wa Uingereza upande wake.
"Inapaswa kuwa vita ngumu ambayo inazungumza na nguvu ya mgawanyiko wa welterweight. Wapiganaji wote ni wanaume ambao ningekuwa wazi kupigana wakati ninaendelea kuunganisha mgawanyiko katika 2018. Kama shabiki wa mapigano, Wacha tuone ni nini 'maalum' kuhusu Kell Brook, Na tutaona ikiwa Errol Spence anaweza kutuonyesha yeye ndiye 'ukweli.' Inapaswa kuwa vita nzuri na nitakuwa nikitazama. "
Danny Garcia - Bingwa wa zamani wa Dunia wa Welterweight
“Nadhani hii ni 50/50 kupambana. Nadhani mtu aliye na mpango bora wa mchezo atashinda. Kuna shinikizo nyingi kwenda kwenye uwanja wa mtu kama Spence anafanya, Na hajawahi kukabiliwa na mpiganaji katika hali yake ya kwanza kama Brook. Kwa kweli ni mtihani kwake na hatua kubwa katika mashindano. Ikiwa yuko tayari, Anaweza kuifanya. Lazima aende huko na abaki umakini.
“Mgawanyiko wa Welterweight ndio mgawanyiko bora katika ndondi. Bado ninahisi kama mimi ni mmoja wa welterweights bora ulimwenguni hata ingawa nilikuja mfupi. Sikuwahi kufikiria nitasema hasara itanifanya niwe na nguvu kwa sababu sikujiona nikipoteza. Nataka majina yangu yarudi na kuonekana kama bora katika mgawanyiko bora.”
Shawn Porter - Bingwa wa zamani wa Welterweight & WBC ya sasa hapana. 1 Mshindani
"Nimefurahi Errol ni kupata kichwa chake, Ninafurahi kuwa anaenda England kwa hiyo. Mimi ni wazi kuwa ninavuta Amerika. Errol ni mwanariadha wa ajabu na boxer mzuri. Nadhani yuko tayari kuonyesha ulimwengu kitu, Lakini Kell yuko hapo juu kwenye tier ya juu ya welterweights. Watu ambao huingia wanapaswa kufurahi. Najua ninatarajia.
"Mgawanyiko wa welterweight ni wa kushangaza, juu hadi chini. Tuko sawa ambapo tunahitaji kuwa na tunapaswa kuwa. Ndondi kurudi nyuma kwa masheikh na PBC ilikuja wakati mzuri kwangu na wengine wa wapenzi wa juu. Kuna wengi wetu wenye uwezo wa kushinda taji hivi sasa. "
Lamont Peterson - WBA (Mara kwa mara) Bingwa wa Dunia wa Welterweight
"Hii itakuwa vita ngumu, Lakini nadhani Errol anapaswa kushinda. Angalau ninavuta Errol kushinda. Lazima aondoe wazo kwamba labda kutakuwa na 30,000 watu wakicheka dhidi yake, Kwa hivyo lazima aonyeshe majaji kwamba anastahili kushinda.
“Brook ni mpiganaji mzuri na ataleta bora yake, Lakini nadhani Errol, Mwishowe, ndiye mpiganaji bora. Lakini atalazimika kudhibitisha.
“Mgawanyiko wa Welterweight ni moja wapo bora katika ndondi hivi sasa. Tunayo wapiganaji wengi wazuri katika hali yao kuu kufanya mgawanyiko uwe na nguvu. Na watu wako tayari kupigana. Tunaona aina ya mapigano ambayo mashabiki wanataka kuona. Ikiwa hii inaendelea inaweza kurudisha ndondi mahali palipokuwa katika siku ambazo sukari Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns na Marvin Hagler wote walipigana kila mmoja. Kwa hivyo ni nzuri kwa ndondi hivi sasa.”
