The GOAT boxing trainer….. إيمانويل ستيوارد

رابطة خريجي الملاكمة USA, فئة من 2018 Inductee
(L-R) – The great Tommy Hearns & the late Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, حضن. (تشرين الثاني 19, 2018) – The late إيمانويل ستيوارد, arguably the greatest boxing trainer of all-time, is a member of the Class of 2018 getting inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 بطولة الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية للملاكمة والبطولات الوطنية للشباب والمبتدئين والإعدادية, ديسمبر 2-8, will be held December 7, في فندق راديسون (215 S. شارع المعبد) في سولت ليك سيتي, يوتا.

 

 

 

 

Steward was a boxer, trainer extraordinaire, and HBO commentator until his untimely death in 2012 في سن ال 68. His boxing career culminated with his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996.

 

 

 

في سن ال 12, Manny moved with his mother from West Virginia to Detroit, where his life soon turned to boxing. باعتباره الملاكم الهواة, he compiled a 94-3 سجل, أبرز أداء بالميدالية الذهبية في 1963 National Golden Gloves Tournament as a bantamweight, but he decided against trying out for the US Olympic Boxing Team.

 

 

 

في 1971, Steward became a part-time trainer at Kronk Gym, where he eventually guided many of the country’s top amateur boxers. Kronk Gym later became a property of Steward’s and he developed it into one of the most successful and famous boxing gyms in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward also served as National Director of Coaching for USA Boxing in the early 2000’s.

 

 

 

Throughout his incredible career, Steward reportedly trained 41 أبطال العالم, ربما, the most noteworthy were توماس Hearns, لينوكس لويس و فلاديمير كليتشكو. He also trained خوليو سيزار تشافيز, ميغيل كوتو, أوسكار دي لا هويا, نسيم حامد, ايفاندر هوليفيلد, و مايك ماكالوم. Manny also trained a young Detroit rapper, Eminem, how to box at Kronk Gym.

 

 

 

The last world champion Manny trained was أدونيس “السيوبرمان” ستيفنسون, who remains the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) World light heavyweight champion since 2013.

 

 

 

Emanuel would always say, بالضربة القاضية بيع!” Stevenson fondly remembered. “He was also the first to tell me, ‘You will be a superstar and a world champion. Just make sure you don’t listen to people with bad intentions because you’ve got natural talent.He believed in me even if some people did not think I would ever become a world champion.

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward impacted the lives of so many who walked through the doors of Kronk Gym,” قال كريس tofflemire, المدير التنفيذي لرابطة خريجي الملاكمة بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. “While he’s most recognized for his achievement at the professional level, his impact was significant in the amateurs. Manny serves as a model coach for USA Boxing today, and his impact will be felt for a long time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association overwhelmingly supports his induction and looks forward to honoring him as part of this year’s Hall of Fame class.

For years he would come to my National Silver Gloves Tournament that I sponsored and put on in Kansa City just to show his support of the youth program,” added USA Boxing president جون أسمر وأضاف. “Every year I would tell him to let me know if he was coming, so I could VIP him, and every year he would ignore me and just quietly show up. I would notice him in the crowd. I would ball him out and then we did the same thing the following year.

 

 

 

I also used to see him at big fights and he would always make me feel special by saying my company saved boxing in the seventies and eighties by providing safe, well-made, fair priced boxing equipment for the sport. No one else ever gave me that recognition. He was humble and not a blowhard, my kind of guy.

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward left his mark on earth, not only as a multi-faceted personality in boxing, but he’s also remembered for his magnanimous charity work in Detroit, in which he helped youths in their pursuit of education.

 

 

 

باختصار, رغم أن, he taught boxing, and nobody has ever done it any better.

(L-R) – رون ماكنير, جيك رودريجيز وبوب دوفي
جيك رودريجيز: “أريد أن أشكر رينج 8 لإتاحة الفرصة لأكون هنا. أود أيضًا أن أشكر زوجتي على تواجدها دائمًا من أجلي, ومدربي.”

(L-R) – عشب جولدمان, دون ماجيسكي وبوب دوفي
هيرب جولدمان: “إذا كنت قد قدمت أي مساهمات في الملاكمة – اتمنى انه لدي – فعلت ذلك من خلال إعادة تعريف حفظ السجلات وإنشاء منظور جديد لتاريخ الملاكمة. أنا فخور بذلك, لكني لم أفعل ذلك بمفردي.”
(L-R) – جو ميزي, جاك هيرش وبوب دوفي
جو ميسي: “لدي الكثير من الناس لأشكرهم على هذا الشرف. أنا بافلوني. لا يوجد أحد أكثر لصالح نيويورك, لكنها ليست كذلك. هذا أمر خاص بالنسبة لي لأنها قاعة مشاهير الملاكمة في ولاية نيويورك. هذا يعززني ويجعلني أعتقد أنني لست مجرد صبي محلي. كان هناك عيب كبير قادم من مدينة صغيرة, لم يكن السجال كما هو في صالات الألعاب الرياضية في مدينة نيويورك, ولكن كان لدي ميزة قادمة من غرب نيويورك. لا أحد كان في حالة جيدة مثلما فعلنا في بوفالو 10,000, ثم 16,00 وأخيرًا 18,000 الناس. كانوا دائمًا ورائي وأنا أشاطرهم هذا لأن دعمهم جعلني. كان حلمي أن أقاتل في بوفالو وأن أستمر في القتال هناك.
“كان من أبرز معالم حياتي القتال مونتي باريت على HBO في ماديسون سكوير غاردن. كان أحد أعظم المقاتلين في العالم الذين حاربوا من أجل لقب العالم. كنت أرغب دائمًا في الحصول على لقطة للعالم, لكني لم أحصل عليه قط. حسنا, كنت أشعر بالمرارة لبعض الوقت, لكن لا يمكنني أن أكون أكثر سعادة في مسيرتي. أفضل جزء من الملاكمة هو الأخوة التي نتشاركها.

(L-R) – راندي جوردون, رون سكوت ستيفنز وبوب دوفي
رون سكوت ستيفنز: “أعلم أن الناس يقولون ذلك دائمًا, ولكن هذه هي الحقيقة: أنا مدين بالكثير من الأشخاص الذين دعموني طوال حياتي المهنية. لطالما كانت الملاكمة في المنزل بعيدًا عن المنزل ، واليوم أشعر أنني في المنزل.
“كنت 30, يعيشون في مرتفعات بروكلين, والعودة يقود سيارة أجرة انتظار على الطاولات. انطفأ ضوء في رأسي: الملاكمة هي رياضة المستضعف وأنا مستضعف. في اليوم التالي ذهبت إلى صالة غليسون الرياضية – مركز الكون. شققت طريقي حول جميع الصالات الرياضية في المدينة, لقاء المروجين, المديرين والمدربين. لقد بدأت في إجراء مباريات للمروجين ، ثم استأجرني سيدريك كوشنر من 1980-2002. في 2002, تلقيت دعوة للعمل في لجنة ولاية نيويورك الرياضية كمنسق مشارك في المجتمع ومدير الملاكمة. ثم, تم تعييني رئيسًا وعملت لفترتين. اليوم, أنا فخور للغاية لكوني جزءًا من قاعة مشاهير الملاكمة في ولاية نيويورك.

(L-R) – بوب دافي, هنري Hascup, بوب جودمان وتومي جالاغر
بوب جودمان: “لا أصدق هذا الحشد. من أجل القيام بما نقوم به, التضحيات والدعم الذي تحصل عليه من عائلتك مهم جدا و (في حالة غودمان) كان لسنوات عديدة. سمحوا لنا أن نفعل ما نقوم به. كلنا نحب الملاكمة!”

(L-R) – راي ميرسر, بيني ألين, الى المدرسة, كلاي جينكينز وبوب دوفي
الى المدرسة: “اعتقدت أن الملاكمة كانت الرياضة الأكثر غباءً والأغبياء على الإطلاق. من أراد أن يلكم في وجهه? لقد بدأت الملاكمة في وقت متأخر. لقد لعبت حول بعض الناس وقالوا إنني جيد جدًا. لقد بدأت الملاكمة عندما كنت 20, في الجيش, تتمركز في فورنت. غطاء محرك السيارة. بعد اربع سنوات, كنت في الفريق الأولمبي. السبب في أنني كان لدي شريك كبير في السجال, راي ميرسر. إذا كنت سأكون في الحلبة كل يوم مع راي, كنت على وشك التعرض للضرب, أو تتحسن.
“أتذكر أن بوب أروم أعطاني بطاقة عمله. لم أكن أعرفه. لم أكن أعرف سوى ثلاثة أشخاص في الملاكمة: دون كينج, محمد علي و السكر راي ليونارد. لم أتبع الملاكمة والسبب الوحيد لملاكمتي هو أنني كنت سأضطر للنوم في الغابة إذا لم أكن (في الجيش). الملاكمة: أضربه, قبل أن يضربني.”

(L-R) – بوبي كاسيدي, الابن, خايمي دروبين وبيت برودسكي
بيت برودسكي: “أريد أن أشكر المجلس. سأكون 70 وبدأت في الملاكمة عندما كنت 18. خلق اتجاه جديد في حياتي. أنا فخور جدًا لكوني بصحبة رجال لم يتحدثوا فقط, هؤلاء احبوا هذا. إذا كنت تحب هذه الرياضة حقًا, عليك أن تتعلمه حقًا. أي رجل داس في الحلبة, بالإضافة إلى جميع أعمال الطرق, الوقت في صالة الألعاب الرياضية والتضحية بما يأكلونه, فعلها لتكون أفضل ما يمكن أن تكون.
“في الملاكمة, لن تكسب كل معركة, ولكن ما إذا كان المقاتل يفوز أو يخسر, إذا أعطى مئة بالمئة, إنه الفائز. إنهم يعملون في وظيفة, اركض خمسة أميال في اليوم, ممارسة التمارين في صالة الألعاب الرياضية, ثم عاد إلى المنزل لقضاء بعض الوقت مع عائلته. الأصدقاء والعائلة دائما ما يكون ظهرك.”

(L-R) – داريل بيبولز & ملفينا Lathan
ميلفينا لاثام: “أنا عاجز عن الكلام. إنه لأمر رائع. صاخب (رئيس NYSAC السابق جوردون), هل تتذكر هذه القصة? لم يكن هناك سوى ثلاثة قضاة و, مع الاسف, أحدهم مريض. كنت أجلس في جانب الحلق دون أية مسؤوليات. قال راندي إن علي العملهذه الليلة. قلت أنني لم أكن مرخصًا ولم أتمكن من ذلك. قال راندي, 'ارفع يدك اليمنى', وكان عليه. رميت هناك, ولكن لا بأس.
“أعظم إنجازاتي هي أطفالي وزوجي. لم أستطع أن أطلب وضعًا أفضل. و رالف بيتريلو جزء من عائلتي; كان ثاني قائد لي. كما أتيحت لي أفضل المسؤولين: نواب المفوضين, المفتشين, القضاة والحكام. لن أكون هنا بدونهم. جمع بوب دوفي هذا الأمر معًا. أنا شخصياً أعتقد أنه مذهل. رحلتي مستمرة, أنا مبارك.”

“يشرفني أن يتم دخولي إلى قاعة مشاهير الملاكمة في ولاية نيويورك مع والدي والعديد من شباب الملاكمة. إنهم مختلفون عن الناس في أي رياضة أخرى. واحدة من الجوائز التي فزت بها والتي أنا فخور بها هي جيمس جيه. جائزة ووكر التذكارية للخدمة الطويلة والجديرة بالملاكمة (BWAA في 1960).
“أنا محظوظ لأنني تجاوزت العصور المختلفة في الملاكمة. كان عالم مختلف في ذلك الوقت, كان لدينا 20-30 يبقى الكتاب لمدة أسابيع في معسكرات التدريب. تعرفت على الملاكمين والمدربين القدامى.”

BROOKLYN (يونيو 26, 2016) – Prizefighting returned to CBS في.يوم السبت with a Fight of the Year candidate as undefeated welterweight world champion كيث ثورمان edged former world champion شون بورتر in a close but unanimous decision scored 115-113 by all three ringside judges.

 

ال 12,718 fans in attendance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the viewers across the U.S. watching the first primetime boxing event on CBS since Muhammed Ali-Leon Spinks in 1978 were treated to a slugfest between two of the brightest stars in boxing’s glamour division.

 

ثورمان (27-0, 22 كوس) and Porter (26-2-1, 16 كوس) combined to throw over 1200 punches in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS event, مقدمة من Premier Boxing Champions. The marquee showdown was a story of accuracy vs. activity, as Thurman landed 50 في المئة من الطلقات سلطته, مقارنة ب 38 percent for Porter, و 44 percent of his total punches compared to just 36 percent for the challenger. While Thurman landed at a higher percentage, Porter was the busier fighter, throwing over 100 more punches across 12 جولات.

 

“One Time” and “Showtime” delivered as advertised, with the powerful sharpshooter buckling Porter multiple times, while the swarming and smothering Porter barreled forward to bully Thurman into the ropes. And while there were no knockdowns, the back-and-forth blockbuster never lacked action and culminated in a standing ovation in the second-highest attended boxing event in Barclays Center history.

 

I want to thank Shawn Porter for a tremendous fight. He’s a great warrior,” said Thurman. “Defense is the key to victory. He smothers his punches a lot and makes it difficult for the judges to score. I was able to rock him with clear, effective blows and I believe that was the difference today.

 

“I would give him a rematch. It was great fight. He was a great opponent. Everyone was saying would he be my toughest opponent to date. I wasn’t able to drop him but I did buckle him a few times.”

The former world champion Porter, a perennial underdog but consummate gentleman, didn’t complain about being on the losing end of his second close decision in a title bout.

 

“We worked hard, Keith is a great champion,قال بورتر. “My dad says to keep your head up. أعتقد أنني حصلت المعركة, but I’m satisfied because the competitor came out هذه الليلة.

 

We need that rematch. I know the fans want that rematch. If he gives me another chance, I’m going to work hard in the ring and leave with his title.

 

The opening bout of the CBS telecast featured a matchup of undefeated super welterweights as جاريت هيرد graduated from prospect to legitimate contender in the stacked 154-pound class with a dominating 10عشر round TKO over أوسكار مولينا.

 

هيرد (18-0, 12 كوس) got to work early, flooring Molina for the first time in his career in the opening round with a powerful counter right uppercut. The bigger and taller Hurd was the more active fighter from the outset, dismantling the previously unbeaten Mexican Olympian with a supremely effective inside game. Hurd threw nearly 750 punches over 10 جولات, مقارنة فقط 376 for Molina, يربط على 220 power shots at a nearly 40 مقطع في المئة.

 

Hurd put a stamp on his performance in the final round, closing the show by out landing Molina 33-7 in the final round. With Molina taking a brutal beating and seemingly defenseless in the final minute of the final round, Ricky Gonzalez stepped in to halt the contest at 2:02.

 

This is definitely a big win for my career,"قال هيرد. “He was taking a lot of shots, but he knew how to survive. It was a big uppercut that knocked him down in round one. People know from my last fight that I have a great right uppercut. He was hurt a couple of times. I don’t think it was a bad stoppage. Molina is a very tough guy who just kept coming through.

 

This fight here puts me up with the top contenders in the division. I felt like I could have gone three or four more rounds. I was getting stronger as the fight went on. We’re going right back to the gym so we can get in there again.

 

مولينا (13-1-1, 10 كوس) protested, but barring a stunning knockout he was just seconds away from suffering the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision.

 

I felt like Hurd was throwing a lot of punches in the tenth round but they weren’t really hurting me,” Molina said. “He was staying busy but he was never really hurting me.

 

“I went low and I had my head down and he caught me with that uppercut in the first round. He got me with a shot I wasn’t expecting but it was definitely a flash knockdown. لم يصب بأذى.

 

I was supposed to use my footwork a lot more but I ended up smothering my shots. He had an awkward defense with a lot of bending down and I couldn’t get into a rhythm.

 

This was a big opportunity for me and I felt like I fought a good fight. I’m going to come back stronger. We’re going to work on a lot of things and get back in there.

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, مقدمة من Premier Boxing Champions, was promoted by DiBella Entertainment.

 

Earlier in the evening on SHOWTIME, undefeated heavyweight sensation Anthony Joshua successfully defended his IBF Heavyweight World Championship for the first time with a seventh round knockout of previously unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale at The O2 in London.

Below are quotes from Joshua after يوم السبت win on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

Many thought that Dominic Breazeale wouldn’t be able to stand up to your power and speed, but were you grateful for the opportunity to work a little bit more of your boxing skills?

“Well, it’s hard because you can see they’re hurt with every shotwell not every shotbut when you start catching them flush, they can feel the shots with these ten ounce gloves on. هكذا, it’s just a matter of time, but in the process I didn’t want to be receiving any haymakers on the way back.

 

“It’s been tough I had two weeks off after my last fight, and got straight back in the gym so it was tough. I get a nice little break for once and then I can come back with recharged batteries.

 

We know Deontay Wilder was watching the fight. Have you got a message for him, the WBC Champion?

Unbelievable inspirational person. He was patient, 30-odd fights [و] got his hands on the WBC [حزام]. I’m following suit. I’m making my way into the U.S. with SHOWTIME backing me as well. هكذا, he watched that.

 

He can pick up whatever he wants to pick up from that, but it’s so different when you’re in the ring with each other. So one day we’ll get to experience what each other’s about.

 

Who do you want to fight next?

Well I think it’s gonna have to be the likes of [جوزيف] باركر. I was really looking at Fury… I hope he gets better soon. He hurt his ankle unfortunately, which has postponed it because I was hoping to get that some time in the winter if everything went well July 9th like it didهذه الليلة, but we’re gonna have to reschedule that and in the meantime, we can look at other opponents like Parker, if he’s vacant, or anyone else that the people want.

 

What do you think that you still need to work on?

“Rest. I need to rest. I’m tired, I’m working hard and as I said, now i can get

Below is what the fighters had to say at the final press conference, followed by some recent fight week quotes. (Courtesy Sky Sports and Matchroom Sport)

 

ANTHONYJOSHUA:

 

You’re in my jungle now. ليس هناك ضغط على لي.

 

“Once that bell goes, you can’t hide the instinct, the instinct that you want to get someone out of there. I hope I can go in there, stay relaxed and do what I planned to do. But once that bell rings something just comes over you and you want to get him out of there ASAP.

 

There will always be pressure. But look, it’s always been the same concept: Train hard – it’s the same ring. It hasn’t changed.

 

I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve always explained let’s get rid of the belts, the atmosphere, because when the bell goes it’s just me and him in the ring. Two gladiators, two respectful warriors coming together. We’re going to slug it out and put our 0s on the line.

 

“I’m prepared, Dominic is prepared well, and one of us has to take a loss.

 

Each fight is a stepping stone to the big tests. I want to look like the real deal.

 

I think we’re in the golden era of boxing again.”

 

DOMINIC BREAZEALE:

I respect you as a fighter, but I’m going to beat you. I’ve got to beat the best of the best.

 

“لا استطيع الانتظار, it’s been an opportunity I’ve been waiting eight years for this. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m ready for this.

 

“نتوقع الألعاب النارية. We’ll be going round for round, punch for punch and I expect to knock out Joshua.

 

“I got a big right hand, I have a big left hook. I stand 6-foot-7, 255 جنيه. I’m unorthodox – I’m a guy that can fight on the inside, I’m a guy that can take a punch, I’m a guy that can give a punch. So if any one of those given things show up في.يوم السبت night I’m getting a knockout, بالتأكيد.

 

“It’s a major advantage just for me to have Anthony Joshua the whole time. I don’t want him at any given point for him to feel like he’s in his comfort zone, his own backyard or his own little lion’s den.

 

“That’s what I came across the pond to do. I came across the pond to get my belt and take it back home with me.

 

“It’s my Super Bowl. Being a former football player, this is my Super Bowl.”

 

Everybody keeps comparing me to Charles Martin, the only thing that we have in common is that we’re both American. We have a completely different fight style, different goals in life.

 

I’m a big puncher, so is Anthony Joshua. He has the belt and I intend to have it في.يوم السبت ليل.

 

ADDITIONAL FIGHT WEEK QUOTES:

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA

 

"أنا 16 المعارك, 16 انتصارات, Dominic is 17 المعارك, 17 انتصارات. We’ve been pro for the same amount of time, amateurs for the same time so we’re at a similar level on paper.

 

“People think this will end in two rounds? Brilliant. I am winning fights early because of my talent and hard work. Where I am in my career, it’s a perfect fight.

 

“I don’t overlook anyone. People talk and talk, that’s irrelevant. It’s all about whether he can fight. I think he believes in himself, but he knows what’s in store here, he needs to know I’m serious about this boxing. He thinks he’s going to KO me, he’s dismissed Charles Martinsometimes you just have to humble somebody and show levels, let them know it’s not that easy.

 

“The second I stepped in to the pros it was ‘Boom!' — Anthony Joshua – headlining. That’s not down to me, its media channels and people wanting to get to know the guy behind the gloves. So it’s been hard to build a career at the right pace without criticism because people want to see me in massive fights right now.

 

“You can’t jump from hero to zero, there are people guiding us over a long and a dangerous career. People have to understand that it’s a development of a career, and if I ever train a fighter, I’ll tell them the same thing.”

 

On fellow heavyweight world champions Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury:

“This won’t be my only defense, I want there to be lots and lots, and at the right time I will fight David Haye, تايسون غضب, Deontay Wilder and the rest. We’re in an era now where we have to fight each other. There’s never been an era when the best don’t fight the best at heavyweightbut they have to happen at the right time, and they will.

 

“We are all world champions as we hold all the belts that are available. We’re all talented. Deontay has defended his title multiple times so you have to give him credit for that. Tyson and I haven’t defended yet, so I put Deontay at the top. But Tyson beat Wladimir Klitschko who reigned for such a long time.

 

“I am happy because I became a world champion in my 16th fight and they won theirs later in their careers. But Tyson beat the main man in the division, and Deontay has defended his belt lots of times, so I am in third right now, but I am building my way up.

 

“Put the belts to one side, they don’t give you magical powers. A lot of fighters lose their belt in their first defense. It’s about developing your raw talent and making sure you keep on an upward curve because there’s hungry young challengers snapping at your heels all the time, ready to expose you – and I refuse that to happen to me.”

 

On Charles Martin:

“Before the fight, no one criticized (تشارلز) مارتن. He was undefeated, knocking guys out, tall southpaw, خطير. Bookies were taking a lot of bets on him knocking me out. Tyson Fury backed him to do just that and a lot of people thought it would be tricky. Up until I beat him, he was seen as a worthy fighter. I figured him out quickly and I made him look bad. He didn’t look like the champion people thought he was, but you have to respect him.”

 

On thinking about losing:

“I think about losing all the time, I’m scared of it. That keeps me humble and working hard. I don’t think people are going to beat me or anything, but I don’t want to lose, and I know that if I work hard and keep improving, I won’t lose.

 

“I get enough attention from this job. يوجد 20,000 fans at the fights, millions watching on TV around the world. I don’t need to seek attention. I’m not a trash talker because the fists do the talking.’’

 

On being a role model:

“I know that there are a lot of kids watching me now and their parents say ‘my son loves youand that’s in my mind.

 

“I’ll be myself all the time, but that sense of being a role model and having kid’s look up to you, that checks the emotions that could come out if you get wound up. You have to conduct yourself.’’

 

On Tyson Fury:

“Tyson talks a lot. I hear so many different things, if he was consistent with what he says then maybe I’d think he was digging a bit, but it’s just water off a duck’s back. I don’t know him, but as long as people are saying ‘when are you going to fight him?’ then I like him because he is relevant.

 

“It would be such a huge fight and one that would be part of my legacy. I think because he’s beaten Wladimir once he can do it again. I didn’t think he’d win the first fight, but he pulled it off.

 

“I’d love to fight Tyson – it’s a match-up that needs to happen. There have been talks, whether they are a quick chat or serious negotiations, but you can’t click your fingers and come up with a mega fight. It takes time, but they are in the pipeline and we’re building towards them, and in the meantime I want to test myself and learn my craft. I need to perform well to prove that I can handle the massive fights.’’

 

On fellow British heavyweight David Haye:

“David is running the show and people know it, so when he goes in against soft opponents, he’s putting his neck on the line to get the stick. Fans expect more from him and he’s not meeting those levels, and that’s where the backlash comes from. The people he’s calling out versus the two guys he has fought, they just don’t add up, and that’s what people are frustrated about.

 

“I don’t think you can knock the Shannon Briggs fight. He’s made a lot of noise, he’s old school and it’s a good fight for David to take, win and move upwards. Shannon had made noise and he’s got his moment and who knows? Maybe he can shock the world. He’s old, but he trains hard and he’s in great condition, and that’s why people love the heavyweights because it’s that one shot.

 

“A fight with Fury and I is the biggest fight in British boxing in my opinion. The Haye fight is big too; there’s enough media interest for it to be big. It’s already big and we’re not even fighting yet, so imagine how big it would be once we get in there. It’d be unbelievable and that’s why I am so interested in the fights.”

 

DOMINIC BREAZEALE:

“I plan on putting on some extreme pressure and taking Joshua to places he’s never been. We’ll find out if he can handle it.

 

“Do I want to see him go into uncharted territory? بالطبع, بدون أدنى شك.

 

“I’ve been there, I know what it feels like and I’ve done it several times now. في نفس الوقت, I’m not going to let an opportunity pass me. If I see something I can take in the first or second round, I’m definitely going to get him out of there.

 

“I’ve sparred guys that are bigger than me, I’ve sparred some guys smaller than me. I’ve been the tallest thus far (من خصومه المهنية), but I don’t think the difference in a matter of inches is going to make that big of a difference. The guys I’ve sparred with are 10 times better than Anthony Joshua.

 

“I think that it’s going to be one of those situations that it is not going to be a difference of size or weight. It’s going to be the difference of skill and experience.

 

“When you think of a heavyweight champion you want to make sure he’s fought the best, and I think that’s why Joshua has chosen me as his opponent to defend against. That’s what he plans on getting out of the situation if he can make it through the 12 جولات.

 

“I think Joshua’s thinking of me as a stepping stone and he’s going to be sorry about that. He’s just wrong. He’s fighting a guy at 6-foot-7, 255 pounds that brings the pressure and a great pace from round-to-round.

 

“I’m one of those guys that I might take a shot, I might work some defense or I might work a strong jab. في كلتا الحالتين, I’m going to make it a fight. All of my opponents have been down on the canvas and I don’t think Joshua is going to come shy of that as well.

 

“I’ve been picked as the smaller guy in the ring, by the IBF as a stepping stone and I feel like my back is against the wall. I’m going to come out fighting.

 

“To come here and win the IBF title in London is a major thing for me that I plan to achieve. Then I want to continuing to go after all the titles.

 

“My mind set has definitely changed. The situation that I’m in mentally is just different compared to some of my fights in the past. My confidence level is through the roof and physically I feel great.

 

“I think the heavyweight division is getting ready to change. With individuals like myself, Deontay and Tyson, we have guys who are characters who bring a lot of charisma to the division. That’s something that we need. نعم, we are athletes but in the end we are entertainers and we want to see a show. I’m the type of guy that brings a show every single time I fight. It’s action-packed from the opening bell to the end, and fight fans are looking for that. That’s what is going to resurrect the heavyweight division.’’

 

On his win over Amir Mansour:

“That was another confidence booster for me. It’s one thing to finish a guy in the first round with three punches or something like that. It’s another thing to finish a guy in the sixth, seventh round with a combination of shots.

 

“Amir put me down on the canvas in the second, I battled back and ended up breaking the man’s jaw.

 

“It gives me something to work on. I know I was able to come back and be very successful from it. Anytime you get a win of that matter where you get a guy, break him down, break him down where he quits on the stool, it’s a huge confidence booster. It makes you understand as an athlete or as a professional boxer that you’ve got punching power, you just broke another man’s jaw.’’

 

On returning to London after the 2012 الألعاب الأولمبية:

“I think it’s going to beautiful. It’s going to be great to go back to where my amateur career ended and beat the guy who won the gold medal. That’s going to be great. ومن ثم, on top of that, take away more hardware with the IBF Heavyweight title. You couldn’t ask for anything better.

 

“Then again I do understand and believe I’m a completely different fighternot only am I a professional but I no longer fight an amateur style. I would consider myself a knockout artist with some pretty good punching power and that’s what I plan on showing the UK fans and my U.S. following. It’s a chapter that needs to be closed and I plan on doing that.’’

 

On the state of the heavyweight division:

“I believe that we’ve got a lot of heavyweights who are doing real well and are real successful in their situations, some being titleholders, some not. But I think it’s going to be a revolving circle. Me fighting Anthony Joshua, then going on to Deontay and Fury, Wladimir Klitschko might even hang around for a while. Will it ever be compared to the Ali days or Riddick Bowe and the Evander Holyfield days? لا أعرف. Bowe and Holyfield had one great trilogy and I study it all the time. So it all depends on how much each fighter has left in him.’’

ANTHONY JOSHUA

Thoughts on his preparation for the fight:

“I feel great condition wise, and mentally I’m in a good place. I’ve never felt so relaxed because I just know I’m capable of doing it. I’ve trained weeks and years and it’s just about getting it right on the night of the fight. My tactics and my mind have not let me down so far, so that’s why I don’t want to change anything.

“I’m not putting too much pressure on myself. I’m going to attack the fight the same way I have my last 16 and put on an explosive show. That’s what the Americans love. They like knockouts and I won’t let them down.

“Every fight can be my last fight. As much as I would like to tell you I’m confident and ‘I’m going to do this, I’m going to do that’ I do understand I have to approach this as if it could be my last fight.

“I know he can hang around, he doesn’t go down easy. He’s a big guy, he can eat shots. The Dominic Breazeale I’m used to watching on YouTube and I’m reading about is the enhanced Dominic Breazeale – the Dominic Breazeale that is 50 percent better because I think he knows he wants to come prove himself on a global stage. And this is his chance come السبت, so I need to prepare for the best of Breazeale.”

On going from being the hunter as a challenger to being the hunted as a champion:

“I’m not the cream of the crop in the gym. I’m around guys that are achieving things on the same level so I’m still hunting. I still have that mentality as if I’m a main killer in the jungle. I haven’t lost that hunger.

On potential to fight in the US in the future:

“I just keep on hearing the United States is where it’s happening. And if I come to the U.S., I’m going to shut it down.”

Thoughts on Breazeale’s performance against Amir Mansour:

“He’s a tough guy. He managed to go out there and break Mansour’s jaw and capture a win, which has led him into where he is now. Whichever angels were floating in the ring with him that day have led him to this point, so I’ve got to put an end to his dream.”

On winning a piece of the heavyweight championship in just his 16عشر قتال محترف:

“It didn’t mean much. I still have another couple titles I need to get my hands on. I’m still hunting. There’s still work to be done. So it only ticked one of the boxes on my to-do list.”

DOMINIC BREAZEALE

“I’m out here very excited. لا أطيق الانتظار لدخول الحلبة يونيو 25 and shock the world, وهذا أمر مؤكد. I’ve been lucky enough to prepare for the biggest fight of my life and I’m really super excited about it.”

On why he thinks he was selected for this matchup:

"بصدق, the way I see it is that someone didn’t do their research. They didn’t look deep enough. They didn’t find out enough about me and maybe they’re looking at me as just another football player that transitioned into boxing. And I’m hoping they’re overlooking me. It definitely can be a situation where they’re just watching one fight, especially my last fight. But there’s been a lot of tough ones. If they’re looking at that one situation, I’m glad because that’s to my liking.”

On his feelings about fighting overseas:

“The way I’m thinking about it is, يونيو 25, I gain 20,000 المشجعين. I’m in a situation where I’m very confident going into this fight and I know for sure I’m going to put on a great show, come out victorious and go back to the U.S. مع 20,000 UK fans.

“I definitely believe [جوشوا] realizes; he understands that he’s got a big test in front of him. He’s got a big fighter in front of him. He’s got a guy that’s going to break him down, test his will and see if he is a true champion.

“I am coming into this fight very confident and I’ve got some things that I know are going to work for me, as well as some things that I plan on exploiting out of Joshua.

“I’m blessed to have been picked for this fight and am thankful for this opportunity. The way I look at it, and the way I look at every fight that I go into, is that as long as I do everything that I need to do in the gym as far as sparring, preparation and training, running my miles, sleeping right and eating right – I’ve crossed all of my T’s and dotted all of my I’s. I’ve got nothing to worry about. I’ve got nothing to second-guess. I’ve done everything I’m supposed to and I just can’t wait to shine.”

ستيفن اسبينوزا, نائب الرئيس التنفيذي والمدير العام, شوتايم الرياضية

“Anthony quickly went from a diamond in the rough to really one of the foremost stars in the UK and Europe, and we are happy to be his partner as he establishes his presence in North America.

“We are particularly excited about this bout because we have, pardon the phraseology, two behemoths. There are two skilled boxers, really the epitome of what heavyweight boxing should be – كبير, strong athletes skilled in their sport, with amateur pedigree, meeting on the afternoon here in the US, evening in the UK to determine who is the best fighter.”

إيدي هيرن, رئيس, Matchroom الرياضة

“Over here, the feeling is that it’s going to be quite a routine defense, but Anthony hasn’t trained like that. He is not expecting that. He knows the background and roots of Dominic Breazeale. He knows his skill, and he knows how dangerous he can be and he knows how hungry he is as well. I think you’re going to get a different kind of fight than the Charles Martin fight. I think you’re going to get a guy that’s not afraid to let his hands go. He’s not going to wait and the sold out O2 Arena is going to be an electric place to be.”

“SHOWTIME is a deal we are very excited about. To link up with an American broadcaster for us was an obvious move, but it was a move we had to choose carefully. And I think we chose very, very well in SHOWTIME.”

BRITTANY GOOSSEN, الترقيات TGB

“Over here in the U.S. we have gotten to see Dominic grow before our eyes. We know he is definitely capable of challenging for the world title. في.يوم السبتwe expect him to be victorious and bring that back to America.”

WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sees Anthony Joshua-Dominic Breazeale Fight as 50-50

From The O2 in London

نيويورك (يونيو 22, 2016) – Unbeaten WBC World Heavyweight Champion ديونتاري وايلدر can’t pick a clear winner for هذا السبت ليلة Anthony Joshua-Dominic Breazeale world title clash.

The undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Joshua (16-0, 16 كوس) will make the first defense of his title against fellow unbeaten دومينيك Breazeale(17-0, 15 كوس) of Upland, كاليفورنيا., في SHOWTIME الدولي للملاكمة®من The O2 في لندن, يعيشون على موعد العرض® في 5:15 عصرا. و/2:15 عصرا. PT.

Just a few hours later in Primetime on CBS (9 عصرا. و/6 عصرا. PT), Keith “One Time” Thurman will defend his WBA Welterweight World Title against former champ Shawn “Showtime” Porter in a welterweight blockbuster that headlines شوتايم بطولة الملاكمة في CBS, مقدمة من Premier Boxing Champions.

وايلدر, who will be part of the in-studio SHOWTIME announce team covering the fight from New York City, is torn on who will triumph when Joshua makes the first defense of the world title he landed in April with a devastating second-round KO win over Charles Martin.

“I definitely see the fight as a 50-50,” said Wilder. “You’ve got two big heavyweights, and the challenger wants what the champion has, and the champion wants to keep what he has.

“It’s going to be interesting because we’ve seen Breazeale in a lot of wars. He’s almost been taken out by some of the smaller heavyweights. He’s been punched around, but he has always survived.

“We’ve seen Joshua (get) busted up as well, but he has kept his composure, and this fight is in his backyard amongst his people.

“I don’t put anything past Breazeale because he’s coming in hustlers’ territory. I think that it’ll be a good fight because of Breazeale – I think he really wants it.”

Wilder makes the fourth defense of his WBC strap on يوليو 16 against Chris Arreola in his hometown of Alabama. The 30-year-old says that Joshua will feel like a different fighter as he goes into his first fight as world champion – but that there’s now an even bigger target on his back.

“Once you’ve got that belt, you feel like ‘I’m the man,’ ” said Wilder. “After the first fight, that’s when you really feel confident. You really feel you’re the man, you’re the champ. You’re the ruler once you’ve had your first defense.

“For Joshua, this is his first title defense, so he should feel some kind of security about himself and confidence about himself. But he’s going to find out that to continue his career and defend that title, these guys aren’t going to lay down after one punch or after two punches.

“They’re going to keep taking punches, they’re going to keep getting knocked down and they’re going to keep getting up. This is for a world title. This can bring you out of poverty, you know what I mean? لهذا السبب, these challengers are hungry. That’s one of the things that I had to realize.

“I put myself in their position. When I was a challenger, I was hungry and I already had the mentality that ‘you’re going to really have to kill me or hurt me bad to get me out of this ring.’ So that’s the mentality that these challengers have.

“It’s going to be interesting when you have a guy with a big heart that really, really wants it and I think Breazeale really wants it. We’re going to see where his heart is. I can’t say what kind of heart he has, but we’re going to see.”

Breazeale is following compatriot Charles Martin into Joshua’s Greenwich home area. “It takes a lot of courage, will and heart to fight in someone’s backyard,” said Wilder. “It takes someone that has confidence in themselves. And not to mention going to someone else’s country, because then the environment has completely changed. It’s a big difference and not a lot of guys are willing to travel outside of their country where they would be uncomfortable.

“Only a very few that really want to build their legacy, such as myself, will travel and have no problem. I don’t like to worry about judges or nothing. You go do what you have to do. That’s just my philosophy and mentality as a champion now. When you say the Heavyweight Champion of the World, that’s why this is tough, we travel all over the world.”

DOMINIC “TROUBLE” BREAZEALE TRAINING CAMP NOTES # PROVIDES INSIGHT ON EXCHANGE WITH JOSHUA, TRAINING CAMP AND UPCOMING IBF WORLD TITLE BOUT

المرتفعات, كاليفورنيا (يونيو 9, 2016)It has been roughly five weeks since WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight Champion Dominic “مشكلة” BREAZEALE (17-0, 15 وKO) was notified that he would be facing newly crowned IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 وKO). في ذلك الوقت, Breazeale has been continuing to train diligently with world renowned trainer Manny Robles in preparation for his upcoming IBF world heavyweight title challenge.

The heavyweight challenger from Alhambra, California and his trainer from East Los Angeles took some time out of Breazeale’s busy schedule to answer some questions about his training camp and the bout with Anthony Joshua on June 25th.
When you first found out that you were selected as Joshua’s opponent, what were your initial thoughts?
When I received a call from my advisor Al Haymon and he told me the good news, I was excited. I immediately told my wife and then notified my team that we got the fight. I knew I was one of three possible opponents and I was happy that I got it. Ever since 2008 when I started getting into boxing, it was a dream of mine to be the world heavyweight champion. Eight years later, I’m here.
Back on 4 مايو, you traveled to London for the press conference to announce the fight. There was clearly a heated discussion between you and Joshua. What happened?

“جيد, prior to going into the press conference, we took some photos outside of the building. Then we had the stare down. I guess he didn’t like that when he looked away, I kept staring at him. هكذا, since he was in front of the cameras, he started acting tough.

I just let him know that he was in for a dog fight. I’m not going to back down and he clearly saw that. I’m not coming for a check; I’m coming for that title and bringing it back to the United States where it belongs.

How is training camp going?
Training camp has been going really well. I was actually in camp before the fight was announced so I am in great shape. My coaches Manny Robles and Edgar Jasso have a great fight plan for me and we are working hard in the gym. I have great sparring partners and they are helping me as well.

My stable mates are also pushing me to train as hard as I can. I’m getting better every day and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Coach Manny: how are things going in training camp?
Everything is going as expected. This camp is far beyond better than the last camp. Dominic will tell that this is beyond his best camp ever. أنت تعلم, in his past camps he knew there was a routine every day. The last two camps, he expects something different every day. The variation of training keeps him focused and motivated and he is doing very well. I’m seeing overall improvements, from his ring generalship to his defense and footwork, putting punches together along with his balance and his jab.
I see improvement in every aspect of his game and he is becoming a better overall boxer. We are working to win. We are working hard in the gym and that is where the fights are won. Our sparring is going really well as is the training. Strength and conditioning coach Darryl Hudson is doing a phenomenal job with Dominic and the results are showing. We’re coming to win.
دومينيك: How does it feel to be going back to London fighting for a world title?
“انه شعور رائع. I couldn’t have written the script any better. This is unfinished business. مرة أخرى في 2012, I earned a spot on the Olympic team after just a year and half of boxing as a competitive amateur. But everyone knows that the amateur ranks are nothing like the professional ranks. So far in my professional career, I have learned to impose my will on my opponents and that’s why I’m fighting Joshua for the world title. I’m looking forward to going back to London to finish what I didn’t four years ago.
What are your thoughts on the current state of the heavyweight division?
The heavyweight division is ripe for the pickings. You have an out of shape fighter like Tyson Fury who now holds two titles after getting a decision over Wladimir Klitchko, who clearly had an off night. I believe Klitchko will KO Fury and Fury retires.

Then you have the controversy between Deontay Wilder and Alexander Povetkin. I was really looking forward to that bout. I sparred with Povetkin in Russia a few years ago and I know what he is capable of. I have a lot of respect for Deontay Wilder and it’s too bad that fight didn’t happen.

What are your expectations for how the bout with Anthony Joshua plays out?
I’m coming to London to win, واضح وبسيط. I’m going to pressure Joshua and just keep punching. He is going to think that he is fighting two or three Dominic “مشكلة” Breazeale’s and I expect to knock him out in the 6th or 7th round. مثل June 25th, I will have a place in history as the new IBF world heavyweight champion.

Do you have anything is closing?

I want to take the time to offer my condolences to the Ali family. We lost a true legend and the greatest of all time. There will never be another man of his figure. السيد. Ali always inspired me to not only be the best in the ring, but the best human being possible. The world has lost a great man. My fight will be the first heavyweight bout since his passing and I intend to make him happy.

“هنا يأتي المتاعب
