CONFIDENT HUGHIE FURY WRAPPING UP ‘TORTUROUS’ TRAINING CAMP; ARRIVES IN BULGARIA SATURDAY TO FACE KUBRAT PULEV IN ‘FIRE & FURY’ IBF ELIMINATOR ON SATURDAY, Ottobre 27, IN SOFIA, BULGARIA

Lascia un commento

(Ottobre 18, 2018) Britain’s IBF #5-rated heavyweight contender Hughie Fury is putting the final touches on a “torturous” training camp and, with his team, will arrive in Sofia, Bulgaria, questo Sabato.

 

 

Su Sabato, Ottobre 27, Furia (21-1, 11 KO) dovrà affrontare Kubrat "The Cobra" Pulev (25-1, 13 KO) in un incontro di eliminazione di 12 round al Arena Armyec in Pulev’s hometown of Sofia. The winner that night will become the first in line to face champion Anthony Joshua.

 

 

 

L'evento, intitolato "Fuoco & Furia"Sarà presentato da Epic Sports and Entertainment di Ivaylo Gotzev e John Wirt, insieme al promotore di Fury, Hennessey Sports, e sarà trasmesso vivere nel Regno Unito su Channel 5.

 

 

 

“I made a promise to beat Pulev in his own backyard and that’s what I’m going to do,” said a confident Fury. “Nobody else wanted this tough fight. That’s because they’re not future champions. I know what it takes and what you have to do to become the man. I don’t care if I fight Pulev in his own house. He’s in my way of what I want, and he’s got to go.”

 

 

 

Fury and father/trainer Peter Fury have been pushing it to the limit in their Manchester Gym, training twice a day, six days a week for up to three hours per session. But Fury, the current BBBofC British Heavyweight Champion, says all the work will soon be worth it.

 

 

 

“It will all be worth it when my hand is raised,” he continued. “There are no holes in my game right now. I’m at the top of my craft and once Pulev is eliminated, I’ll be coming for Anthony Joshua. He looked vulnerable in his last fight. I’m the one who will capitalize on those vulnerabilities!"

 

 

 

Despite his supreme confidence, defeating Pulev will be no easy feat for 24-year-old Fury. 37-year-old Pulev is one of the most popular athletes in all of Bulgaria, and a former two-time European and IBF International Heavyweight Champion. L'unica perdita in carriera di Pulev è arrivata in una sfida contro il campionato indiscusso dei pesi massimi Wladimir Klitschko in 2014. Britain’s Dillian Whyte e americani Jarell Miller e Dominic Breazeale all declined to face Pulev before Fury accepted.

 

 

 

“After I walk right into Pulev’s hometown and take him out, something no other heavyweight would even dare to try, everyone is going to be talking about me and Anthony Joshua. I can’t wait to get this job done and move on to the world championship.”

PESI PESANTI DI CLASSE MONDIALE IN LOTTA PER IL DIRITTO DI AFFRONTARE ANTHONY JOSHUA VS. ALEXANDER POVETKIN VINCITORE DEL CAMPIONATO DEL MONDO

Su Sabato, Ottobre 27, "Fuoco & Furia" si scontreranno, come concorrente dei pesi massimi IBF n. 2 Kubrat "The Cobra" Pulev affronterà il numero 5 della Gran Bretagna IBF Hughie Fury in un incontro di eliminazione di 12 round al Arena Armyec nella città natale di Pulev Sofia, Bulgaria.

 

 

 

Pulev (25-1, 13 KO) e Fury (21-1, 11 KO) si contenderanno il diritto di affrontare il vincitore di settembre 22 resa dei conti tra campione Anthony Joshua e lo sfidante Alexander Povetkin.

 

 

 

L'evento, intitolato "Fuoco & Furia"Sarà presentato da Epic Sports and Entertainment di Ivaylo Gotzev e John Wirt, insieme al promotore di Fury, Hennessey Sports, e sarà trasmesso vivere nel Regno Unito su Channel 5.

 

 

 

Uno degli atleti più apprezzati di tutta la Bulgaria, 37-Pulev, un anno, è vittima di cinque vittorie consecutive, compreso un TKO 3 sull'ex campione dei pesi massimi Samuel Peter. Tra le sue tante distinzioni, Pulev è un ex due volte campione europeo e internazionale dei pesi massimi IBF. Sta in piedi 6 ' 4 ½ "e pesa circa 240 lbs. L'unica perdita in carriera di Pulev è arrivata in una sfida contro il campionato indiscusso dei pesi massimi Wladimir Klitschko in 2014. Fury è il quarto avversario programmato per affrontare Pulev, come la Gran Bretagna Dillian Whyte e americani Jarell Miller e Dominic Breazeale tutti hanno rifiutato la lotta.

 

 

 

Pulev, che avrà il suo primo incontro da quando ha collaborato con Epic Sports and Entertainment, dice che Fury è meglio non guardarlo oltre mentre si prepara per questo combattimento.

 

 

 

“Il fatto che Hughie Fury venga in Bulgaria quando molti altri sono scappati la dice lunga,"Ha detto Pulev. “Capisco che sia molto motivato perché questa è una lotta eliminatoria per una possibilità al titolo mondiale. Suggerisco che smetta per un attimo di pensare al titolo mondiale e si prepari per una vera battaglia. Sono già in modalità bestia e ho fame di ritorno sul ring!"

 

 

 

Fury proviene da Manchester ed è l'attuale campione britannico dei pesi massimi BBBofC ed è allenato da suo padre, Peter Fury. Il 23enne è alto 6 '6 "e pesa anche circa 240 lbs. A settembre di 2017, Fury ha subito la sua unica perdita di carriera, una controversa decisione a maggioranza di Joseph Parker per il campionato WBO dei pesi massimi di Parker.

 

 

 

"Ci è voluto molto tempo per realizzare questa lotta e voglio ringraziare tutti coloro che sono coinvolti,"Ha detto Hughie Fury. “Voglio lottare per i titoli mondiali e per farlo ho bisogno di battere i ragazzi al vertice della divisione. Kubrat Pulev è una lotta seria per la posizione obbligatoria e so che devo essere il vero affare per batterlo. Credo che lo farò nel suo cortile sul retro, dove gli altri tremavano al solo pensiero.”

 

 

 

“Vogliamo essere coinvolti in queste grandi notti di combattimenti e affrontare i grandi nomi che guidano la divisione,”Ha aggiunto il padre e allenatore Peter Fury. “Per diventare un campione mondiale dei pesi massimi, devi superare ogni sfida che ti viene posta di fronte. E per Hughie che inizia in Bulgaria a ottobre ".

 

 

 

“In questo giorno ed età, quando alcuni promotori e i loro combattenti optano per le scommesse più sicure, Hughie Fury ha fatto l'opposto,"Ha detto Ivaylo Gotzev di Fury, che ha affrontato la sua parte di ritardi e delusioni nel suo cammino verso questo incontro eliminatore. "Fury ha deciso di entrare nella Tana del Leone, e combatti Kubrat nella sua città natale di Sofia. Questo incontro è intrigante, mentre due dei migliori della divisione si fanno avanti e si affrontano. Ci aspettiamo una grande battaglia dei pesi massimi, che deciderà il destino di un uomo di lottare per il titolo più ambito al mondo: il campionato dei pesi massimi. A tutto il Team Fury - siete i benvenuti in Bulgaria!"

 

 

 

CEO di Hennessy Sports Mick Hennessy, promotore di Fury, suddetto: "Innanzitutto vorrei elogiare il mio giovane combattente Hughie Fury. Non ci sono pantomime e spettacoli teatrali. È solo un giovane, pieno di rispetto per tutti quelli che affronta, e chi crede nel dare ai fan combattimenti adeguati e un buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. A soli 23 anni di età Hughie è un talento enorme. Forse non ha ricevuto gli elogi che merita, quindi questo è il suo momento per far sedere il mondo della boxe e prendere atto di ciò di cui è capace ".

 

 

 

"Vorrei anche ringraziare i miei colleghi di Epic Sports & Intrattenimento per far accadere questa lotta. Ci è voluto molto per arrivare a questo punto, ma eravamo determinati a dare ai fan una lotta che meritano. Entrambe le squadre sono entusiaste di questo. "

 

 

 

L'undercard internazionale impilato, insieme ai dettagli del biglietto, sarà rivelato a breve.

CARDIFF, GALLES (Ottobre. 28, 2017) – Undefeated and Unified Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua stopped IBF mandatory challenger Carlos Takam in the 10th round il Sabato night at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Galles, where the British sensation improved to 20 vittorie, tutti per KO, and retained both his IBF and WBA world title belts.

Joshua vs. Takam was contested before a record 78,000 fan, the largest ever for an indoor boxing event and was the first of back-to-back heavyweight world title fights airing live on SHOWTIME. Il Prossimo Sabato, Novembre. 4, WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder headlines a three-fight telecast when he faces former world champion Bermane Stiverne at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Creative combinations and some inside fighting rarely seen from the rangy Joshua opened up a cut over Takam’s right eye and floored the challenger in the 4th. Dopo, Joshua opened another gash over the left eye but a bloody and battered Takam continued to press forward. Takam was able to land some significant punches in the middle rounds but not enough to take Joshua off his game.

Nel 10th, after Joshua landed several big punches including a left-right combination that rocked the courageous challenger, referee Phil Edwards stepped in and stopped the fight at 1:34.

“I kept my composure,” said Joshua when asked about a head butt in the second round that may have broken the champion’s nose. “We will get my nose cracked back into place and then we can get back to training.”

When SKY Sports’ ringside reporter Andy Scott asked the beloved champion about a unification bout with fellow undefeated champion Wilder, Joshua ha detto, “It has to happen. It has to happen for sure. When it comes down to it, l'IBF, IBO and WBA have mandatory challengers. I can’t just fight any Joe Blow I want. I have to fight the obligations as champion and once I fulfill those, my door is open to fight anyone, be it Wilder or anyone else.

“Everyone saw how hard it took to get the belts,” he continued. “I am not giving them up for anyone.”

When asked about fighting overseas in America or elsewhere, Joshua replied to the delight of the U.K. fan, “As I said, it’s not my decision what happens outside the ring… but look at what boxing is doing. We are getting people coming in from all around the U.K. and from different countries. I think we should keep on boxing right here in the U.K.”

Joshua (19-0, 19 KO) returns for the first time since unifying the heavyweight division via knockout in a leading Fight of the Year thriller with long-reigning kingpin Wladimir Klitschko this past April.

 

“We’re going to have to put that Klitschko win to the side at some stage because boxing is unforgiving,"Joshua ha detto il Giovedi. “That was that. This is now. Carlos is a completely different animal than Klitschko.

 

“Who knows what’s going to happen in that ring Sabato. This division is unpredictable. You saw I got tired in the fifth round against Klitschko. Am I going to find out I’m only a five round fighter? Takam is tough and can go the distance. He’s definitely going to take me into late waters and that’s where it’s going to be interesting.”

 

Takam (35-3-1, 27 KO) has experience in close bouts with reigning WBO Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker and former challenger Alexander Povetkin. Il 2004 Olympian from Cameroon enters the contest having boxed more than three times the professional rounds as Joshua.

 

“My experience will help me win the fight,” Takam said. “I’ve been in there with a champion. When we get in the ring it’s just two fighters. Only at the end of the fight will we know who the real world champion is.

 

“I saw Joshua go down. I saw he has a weak point, and we’ve been working on targeting that.”

 

Joshua and Takam meet 24 years after Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno squared off in the first all-British heavyweight world championship in front of more than 25,000 fans at the National Stadium in Cardiff. There will be more than 78,000 at the new National Stadium – Principality Stadium – il Sabato.

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say il Giovedi:

 

Anthony Joshua

 

“Fighting is all I do. It’s all I know. It’s an honor to be defending these belts. I don’t always like to talk about the belts because I’ve always been a fighter before that and I’ve always had the ambition of being a talented fighter before I became champion. I’m just looking forward to getting in the ring and handling business.

 

“We’re going to have to put that Klitschko win to the side at some stage because boxing is unforgiving. That was that. This is now. Carlos is a completely different animal than Klitschko.

 

“I do know that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to win. In terms of style, technique and preparation, it’s completely different. Every camp is completely different. My mindset is completely different. All will be revealed Sabato. Best of luck to both men and the best man will win.

 

"[Trainer Rob McCracken] has never just trained me for one style of opponent. He’s trained me to be the best me. He’s trained me to be ready, to be fit, to be focused and to adapt new skills to my boxing. No matter who my opponent is, I’ll always be in good condition to compete against any champion or any contender in the world.

 

“We’re in the business of providing really good fights. We’re not here to tip and tap and run for 12 round. We’re here to get stuck in.

 

“I know what it’s like to be the non-champion fighting for a championship. When there’s that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, it’s going to be competitive. This is heavyweight championship boxing. Both of us are on the same elite level so you’re going to see an elite fight.

 

“Who knows what’s going to happen in that ring Sabato. This division is unpredictable. You saw I got tired in the fifth round against Klitschko. Am I going to find out I’m only a five round fighter? Takam is tough and can go the distance. He’s definitely going to take me into late waters and that’s where it’s going to be interesting.

 

“With [Takam’s] style and his strength, I wish I came into this fight heavier so we could just stand there and slug it out with each other. Why’d I come in lighter? I thought I was fighting Pulev – a real amateur-style boxer. I had to stay off the line, jab with him and match his speed. Takam is a completely different style of fighter so I might have come in a bit heavier if I knew I was fighting Takam.

 

“I’m just a reflection of hard work. The UK boxing scene is quite grassroots. I still go to my amateur club. Just before this championship fight, I was training with all the amateurs – kids that were just 10 Anni. You can only achieve what you see, so when they’re training with Olympians and professional World Champions, they’re inspired. That’s real nice to be the champion and still keep it real training with the grassroots athletes.”

 

Carlos Takam

“My experience will help me win the fight. I’ve been in there with a champion. When we get in the ring it’s just two fighters. Only at the end of the fight will we know who the real world champion is.

 

“I saw Joshua go down. I saw he has a weak point, and we’ve been working on targeting that.”

 

“I’m going to box my way. I’m going to come forward, fight my fight.

 

“I believe in myself. I’m confined. It wouldn’t be a shock if I won because of the confidence I have.

 

“When I heard about the fight, I was already in preparation for another fight so I had to completely change the way I trained to be ready for this fight. I’m coming out on the 28th to win the fight.

 

“All I can do is invite you to see the outcome of the fight on the 28th. I’m coming out to win.

 

“I know it’s going to be a great fight. This will change my life in boxing but not from the person I am.”

La trasmissione televisiva SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING inizia in diretta alle 5 p.m. E/2 p.m. PT from ringside in Cardiff as Joshua (19-0, 19 KO) returns for the first time since unifying the heavyweight division. The undefeated British sensation picked up the WBA belt to go along with his IBF crown on Aprile 29 in a leading Fight of the Year thriller with Wladimir Klitschko.

 

“We’re going to have a war. We’re going to wear our hearts on our sleeves,"Joshua ha detto. “This is what fighting’s about. With me, it ain’t about all this other stuff that goes on outside the ring. When people come to watch me box, they know they’re going to have a good time. They know they’re going to see knockouts.”

Ecco cosa hanno detto i combattenti mercoledì:

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I’ve never been nervous about fighting but I think this stadium is going to be different. There’s a closed roof. I know the energy and the atmosphere is going to be bouncing up and down off the roof and it’s going to be nothing like before. Come ho detto, if Sabato night is a little bit like the people today here at the public workout, it’s going to be phenomenal.

 

“This is what fighting’s about – different styles and different types of opponents. But the best opponent you can work on is yourself so I’ve definitely been improving myself. I can talk about a million things I’ve been working on but at the end of the day, as soon as that first bell rings, that’s when it matters.

 

“We’re going to have a war. We’re going to wear our hearts on our sleeves. This is what fighting’s about. With me, it ain’t about all this other stuff that goes on outside the ring. When people come to watch me box, they know they’re going to have a good time. They know they’re going to see knockouts. They’re going to see a bit of blood and a bit of respect after.

 

“I think the UK has been sending a statement for a long time. It wasn’t so long ago that U.K. heavyweights or boxers weren’t getting a look. Ora, all the Americans are talking about U.K. combattenti. We’ve definitely been sending a statement over to the States for a long time.

 

"[Joseph Parker and Deontay Wilder] can watch me a million times but it’s so different when you get in these ropes. When you get in here, you can watch somebody a million times, but it’s a different challenge when you face someone face-to-face.

 

“We have to deliver. The fans know what they want, I know what they want. It’s my job to deliver. I haven’t got to say it – I know already and the fans know. Let’s just deliver Sabato night and we’ll look forward to a promising 2018.”

 

On opponent Takam, who became the mandatory challenger after an injury to Kubrat Pulev:

“First and foremost, massive credit to Eddie [Hearn] because he’s done amazing work. He was ahead of the game and he’s managed to allow this show to go ahead. Credit to Carlos Takam, a true athlete who stays fit all year round. He’s not someone who just trains for a fight, he seems to keep himself conditioned and that’s what we like. He’s the same as myself. And I think – what would I do? Would I give up the IBF belt? Hell no. I worked too hard for it.”

 

CARLOS TAKAM:

“Sono pronto per questa lotta, I’m ready for everything he has. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. We were in the gym getting ready, hoping we would get this chance.

 

“He’s a world champion, he’s earned his belt. But I’m coming here to take it. You have to defend your title, and I’m not going to make it easy. I’m going to make this the fight of the year.

 

“If I can do things differently from what other boxers have done against him, I’ll have a chance to win by knockout.

 

“A lot of people have asked me if I see any weaknesses in Joshua’s style. All I can say is we will see on fight night.

 

“I’m not bothered about fighting in front of 80,000 persone, the only people in the ring will be myself and Joshua, nothing else matters except us.”
