“I want to start of by saying that I am very grateful for attending and being part of such a special event, The Kiyan Prince Foundation’s ‘Jabbing Not Stabbing’ that took place last Saturday in London this past Saturday in remembrance of young Kiyan Prince.

“Thank you so much Dr Mark Prince and Mr Gianluca Di Caro for adding me as the headliner of the evening of the fights. Such a special night to showcase my skill and to steer the young youth away from street violence and creating a way out through boxing.

“Much love and appreciation to Dr Prince and Mr Di Caro for the opportunity, I love London and the people returned the love.

“Hope to be back soon and see all my new friends and fans once more. Thank you London!"

About The Kiyan Prince Foundation:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation was established in 2008 in memory of Kiyan Prince, Dr Prince’s fifteen-year-old son and a talented footballer who was stabbed in the heart, whilst trying to break up a fight, outside his school gates. This devastating tragedy marked the beginning of a journey which has not only transformed Dr Prince’s life but also equipped him with the knowledge and skills to support families and help prevent similar cases. In this process, he has had to defeat two of life’s toughest challenges – anger and revenge, find the strength to forgive and the commitment to substitute anger with positive life skills.

About Kiyan Prince:

Kiyan Prince was the first son born to Mark Prince and Tracy Cumberbatch on 25th November 1990.

He was an outgoing and well-loved young man who got along with everybody. Teachers, fellow pupils, Queens Park Rangers football team… in fact anyone who came into contact with Kiyan counted it a privilege to have done so.

El 18 de mayo 2006 Kiyan’s life came to a tragic, untimely and unnecessary end. The loving nature, by which he was known, was what made him step in and defend his friend who was being picked on by another youth.

The incident took place outside the gates of his school, the London Academy, located in Edgware North London. Kiyan attempted to resolve the situation in the most peaceable way by directly challenging the aggressor.

The ‘killer’, 16 year old Hannad Hasan, felt that Kiyan had disrespected him because he stood up to him. He then turned and callously killed Kiyan – plunging a knife straight into his chest. Kiyan died of a single, but fatal, stab wound to his heart.

Kiyan, who played for Queens Park Rangers Under-16’s football team. He was dubbed ‘The Bullet’ because of his speed and he was hailed as the next Wayne Rooney… tipped to play for England.

Kiyan was a beautiful, thoughtful, kind and considerate young man. . How he lived was reflected in the way he died… in probably the last words he ever spoke…

Even though he must have been very scared and in pain… in dying he still represented the life he lived. His heart was so full of love and empathy for others. In his final minutes his thoughts were, incluso entonces, still of others. As he lay bleeding he told his friends: “if these are my last words… tell my Mum I love her.”

About Mark Prince:

Dr Mark Prince is CEO and Founder of the Kiyan Prince Foundation, a charity borne out of pain, suffering and grief. Through a series of personal challenges (homelessness, drugs and alcohol abuse and criminal activity); triumphs and tragedy, the then known Mark Prince, developed a burning desire to support young people embroiled in a downward spiral of urban violence. The devastating tragedy of his son’s murder in 2006 further confirmed the importance of early intervention in a young person’s life in order to prevent what often seems like an inevitable journey into despair.

Education and Sport:

A significant part of the foundation’s work is to target school aged children and young people from primary through to secondary and tertiary education, through mentoring, life skills and training programmes. Being a professional boxer achieving titles such as the IBF and WBO Inter-continental Light-heavy weight Championship by (1997) and fighting for a world title in 1998, Dr Prince has invaluable skills and experiences that help in the development and transformation of young people’s lives for good. His autobiography The Prince of Peace written by Dr Prince and Paul Zanon is already a best seller.

Collaboration:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation is a project that has seen Dr Prince collaborate with a range of notable individuals, organisations, los medios de comunicación, government officials and celebrities to shine a light on the socio-economic issues impacting on young people and families nationally. He has been involved in the creation and the was the feature of the ITV documentary, “Put the Knives and Guns Down” screened on ITV London Tonight Special; panel member for The News of The World’s “Save Our Streets” campaign; keynote speaker at Metropolitan Police Operation Trident Program; and guest speaker at conferences such as, the NBCPA National Black Crown Prosecutors Association Annual Conference and the National Governor Prison Association Annual Conference.

Recognition and Vision:

In recognition of the significant contribution to the community and fight against knife crime, Dr Prince has received several well-deserved awards e.g. The Children’s Champion Award from Prime Minister Gordon Brown; an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Excel University; and recently in the Queen’s New Year Honours list (2019) to receive an OBE.

It is the foundation’s vision to obtain funding/raise the revenue to deliver#inspiringfuturechampions a campaign which involves delivering powerful messages to every school in London first, with inspirational speakers who are high level influencers amongst young people together with Dr Prince sharing with them how to utilise their strength of will, recognise their potential, individuality, purpose, how to value themselves, come back from adversity and the power of self-belief, which when understood all leads to young people steering clear of guns and knives which is a problem of the mind and not of the knife.

Undefeated Heavyweights Joe Joyce Knocks Out Bermane Stiverne In SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Abrelatas

LONDON – February 23, 2019 - Chris Eubank Jr.. earned a career-defining victory with a hard-fought unanimous decision over British rival and former two-time world champion James DeGale in a super middleweight grudge match Saturday on SHOWTIME from The O2 in London.



eubank, el hijo de la leyenda del boxeo británico y ex campeón mundial de dos divisiones Chris Eubank Sr., floored DeGale twice en route to the clear decision, que fue anotado 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. Video: https://s.sho.com/2E6mWI8



Working in his first bout with a full-time trainer, Eubank fought a controlled fight. The former world title challenger floored DeGale in a rough moment in the second, stunning his rival with a big left hook against the ropes and flooring him moments later with a strong right cross that sent DeGale to the canvas for just the second fight of his career.



DeGale, who established his championship career as a slick southpaw, was unable to jab at range and couldn’t handle the constant pressure from Eubank. The former Olympic Gold Medalist resorted to lunging from the outside and was largely ineffective on the inside, often clinching while in close quarters.



“I knew he was going to come at me like that,” Eubank said. “He’s a slick southpaw, but my game plan worked. Smart pressure and not getting too ahead of myself. He’s a hell of a fighter, hell of a competitor but at the end of the day my head and my heart won this fight.”



“There was a lot of animosity leading to this fight. Le dije, ‘This is my time,’ and it was. He’s a veteran of the game, he throws big shots and he manages to stay up. To get up after those knockdowns is a statement about his tenacity and the type of fighter he is.”



The second knockdown came in the 10º as Eubank landed a powerful left hook that buckled DeGale with just 30 segundos por jugarse en la ronda. Una vez más, DeGale tried to clinch to avoid the knockdown, but his hand touched the canvas and was ruled just the third knockdown of his career.



Después de la pelea, DeGale, who was the first British fighter to earn an Olympic Gold Medal and a world championship, appeared to be leaning toward retirement.



“I definitely I didn’t do enough,"Dijo DeGale. “He was on it and I didn’t do enough. You have to do more than enough to counter someone that came forward like Chris.



“I’m going to go back and talk to my team, Mi familia, and decide. I left my mark in boxing. I won an Olympic Medal, two world titles and it may be the time to hang it up.”



While DeGale contemplates retirement, Eubank has his sights set on another shot at a world title.



“This was the most important fight of my career, and I made a statement. I’m back where I’m supposed to be, at the top of the food chain. I’m coming for all the belts in the middleweight and super middleweight division. I’m fighting everyone they put in front of me.



“I’m glad to make my American debut here on SHOWTIME. I’m glad to be introduced to the American public this way – making a statement.”



En la pelea de apertura de la doble cartelera de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, undefeated heavyweight Joe Joyce kept his knockout record intact with a sixth-round TKO of former heavyweight world champion Bermane Stiverne.



After an exciting first round, Joyce opened up the action in the second with a monstrous straight right and unloaded from bell to bell against a defenseless Stiverne, who continued to punch back despite eating damaging shots. After a series of combos in the opening minute of the third, Joyce caught Stiverne with a straight right hand to send him to the canvas for the fifth time in his professional career. Stiverne survived the round while throwing looping shots but failed to return any meaningful punches.



Joyce, la 2016 Medallista de plata olímpico, consistently set up a powerful straight right behind an accurate and effective left jab throughout the fight. With Joyce (8-0, 8 KOs) continuing to tee off against a largely defenseless Stiverne, referee Howard Foster stepped in to halt the contest at 2:26 of the sixth. Stiverne (25-4-1, 21 KOs) did not protest the stoppage.



“Big respect to Stiverne – like a true champion, he’s very tough and was still throwing shots, but I guess I was just a bit too much,Joyce dijo. “It was about being patient. He’s such a tough guy that he took those shots no problem.



“I was hitting him with everything I had, including the kitchen sink. I listened to Abel (Sánchez) in the corner, did everything he said and it went well. My jab was really effective. I’m a seasoned vet. I picked up my poise and remained calm along the way.



“Big things are coming. My next one will be for the WBA Regular (Título) and I’ll be back in the gym soon. I need to have a couple more fights like this and then I’ll be ready for the big champions.”



Highlights of former world champion Lee Selby’s lightweight debut were featured during Saturday’s telecast. A former champion at featherweight, Selby (27-2, 9 KOs) overcame a second round accidental head butt to win a 12-round unanimous decision (116-112, 116-112, 115-114) over Omar Douglas (19-3, 13 KOs).



An encore presentation of Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will air tonight/Saturday at 10 p.m. ET / PT por SHOWTIME EXTREME, Sunday at 9 a.m. ET / PT el SHOWTIME y el lunes a las 10 p.m. ET / PT por SHOWTIME EXTREME.

I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight,"Él dijo.

Here’s what the fighters and their respective camps had to say during Thursday’s press conference at Intercontinental at The O2:



James DeGale:

“I vacated my title for fights like this. Chris Eubank has been calling my name for a long time and finally I get a chance to punch him in his face.



“I have no respect for him. None. This guy is a diluted idiot. And on Saturday night I can’t wait to deal with him. I’m going to come and give it to him properly. He can’t box. We’ve all heard this before.



“This is the biggest fight of his career. It’s retirement time. Whoever loses this fight is finished. It’s do or die on Saturday…His retirement fight is here. It’s his last fight, te lo prometo.



“I’m proven. He estado allí, hecho que. I’ve won everything. He’s done nothing. And I’m going to retire him.



“Eubank is a tough fighter, es fuerte. He has a lot of good attributes, but I’m too good for him. To mix it up and go to the very top you need more than strength and toughness. Every time he’s stepped up, he’s lost.



“The fear of losing is because I know what’s on the line. This is do or die. If I can’t beat him, if I can’t beat Chris Eubank Jr., He terminado.



“A lot of people think I’ve seen better days. A lot of people think I’m on the decline. I’ve had issues in the past, but I can honestly say I’m fully fit. I’m in the best shape I’ve been for a long, mucho tiempo, physical and mentally. When I feel like I feel no one can beat me.



“If I can’t beat Chris that means I’m shot, that means I’m over the hill.”



CHRIS EUBANK JR.:

“This guy is a bum. He talks a good game. He’s going to have a good go, but at the end of the day I’m going to be too much for him.



“We are both at a stage where we can’t lose. We are both fighting for our careers. He knows he can’t handle me. He’s asking himself, ‘Can I survive?’ And the answer is absolutely not.



“There’s nothing he can do in that ring that I can’t handle. I’m going to box his head off.



“I’ve got a full time trainer now. Por primera vez en mi carrera, I have a trainer day in and day out focusing on strategy to prepare me for what James is – a slick southpaw. That’s why I’m so confident. If he wants to run, we have the gameplan. If he wants to stand and swing, we have the gameplan. We have a plan for everything.



“What matters is that James’ career is over in a few days. I sent him a message after he lost to [George] Groves saying he needs to keep up because we are going to fight one day. And now that we’re finally here I look into his eyes and I don’t see a confident guy.



“It’s my time. I’m expecting the best he’s ever been and that’s still not going to be enough.



“I’m a world-level fighter. Anyone in the boxing game knows that. This is my opportunity to prove that once and for all to set the record straight and prove I’m the real deal. I know this is a defining fight in my career. It is do or die and I’m ready for that.



“James knows what’s coming. Al final de la día, his last performances haven’t been up to par, but i don’t think he respected his [past] oponentes. He respects me, and I respect him and that’s why this is a real fight.



“I’ve been in the game for a long time but this is just the beginning of a long journey for me. This is my biggest fight. Tengo que ganar. Si gano, I’m back on the world stage. Beating James DeGale sets me up for a world title which is the whole reason I started in this game.”





JIM MCDONNELL:

“There are levels to boxing. Chris was a good prospect coming through but he’s not on the same level as James. He’ll find out what it takes to be a world champion. James DeGale is levels above Chris Jr.



“Chris may have all the drive he needs but he doesn’t have the skills to beat James DeGale.



“I know James is not losing. James DeGale is probably the best British fighter I’ve seen in my country.”





CHRIS EUBANK SR.:

“I’ve seen the pinnacle of James and it’s intoxicating. With Chris, not everything I’ve said has been applied. It may have been heard, but not applied. What I said works. I wouldn’t have 19 championship wins if it didn’t.



“I’m not convinced [Chris will win] because James DeGale has pedigree. Being an [olímpico] Gold Medalist and former world champion is real. I respect the man’s abilities. Junior hasn’t.



“My son looks at the physical aspect of boxing and, from a physical point of view, I don’t think there is anyone who can stand with him. But boxing isn’t just physical – it’s also spiritual, and that’s where Junior lacks. I don’t know whether he has that.



“This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight.



“This is the wisdom of someone who has been here. You never underestimate your opponent based on past performances. Anyone who thinks this guy is on a slide because of past performances is making a mistake.



“From a physical aspect, Junior has the upper hand. From a spiritual aspect and pedigree aspect, James has the upper hand, and that’s why this is a 50/50 lucha.



“I do know Chris has learned and let’s see what is produced. It can be a brilliant fight.”





Paulie Malignaggi:

“I like our chances. I know the guy that I have been in camp with. The things I’ve seen, I like. They are much more positive this time around.



“You can’t underestimate a guy like Eubank. He always comes to win. Pero, regardless of the gameplan, there is a certain mentality and my guy has it. He’s a Gold Medalist and he knows what mentality to bring on Saturday.



“James has won two major world titles, an Olympic Gold Medal. Chris has had some good wins but when he went to that elite level, él perdió. Chris is a good fighter but he’s not beaten this level of opposition.”

Deja un comentario

James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jr will clash at London’s O2 on 23 February in the first major UK event of the new deal between ITV and Haymon Sports’ Liga de Campeones de Boxeo, it has been announced.

The Super Middleweight match, to be screened exclusively live on ITV Box Office, will take place against a backdrop of hostility between two fighters who have long made no secret of their mutual dislike and are relishing the prospect of settling their differences in the ring.

James DeGale has already fired off an opening shot in the direction of his opponent.

Él dijo: “Really excited and looking forward to being back home to a fight of this magnitude. “I believe Eubank doesn’t have the pedigree, the size and skill to beat me. “Eubank is a decent fighter but every time he has stepped up he has been found out.

LOS ANGELES (Noviembre 5, 2018) – WBC campeón pesado del mundo Deontay Wilder celebró un día repleto de medios el lunes en Los Ángeles, donde habló sobre su enfrentamiento de gran éxito contra el campeón lineal de peso pesado Tyson Fury que tendrá lugar Sábado, Diciembre 1 en SHOWTIME PPV® desde el Staples Center en Los Ángeles.

 

 

 

Wilder llegó a Los Ángeles, junto con el entrenador Jay Deas, para mostrar sus habilidades frente a los medios en Churchill Boxing Club en Santa Mónica. El evento de peso pesado más importante en los EE. UU.. en más que 15 año, Wilder vs.. Fury pone a prueba la potencia bruta del Wilder de 6 pies 7 pulgadas contra el tamaño y la movilidad incomparables del Fury de 6 pies 9 pulgadas.

 

 

 

Las entradas para el evento, que está promovido por BombZquad Empresas y Promociones de Queensberry, en asociación con DiBella Entertainment y TGB Promociones, están a la venta. Los precios comienzan en $75, más las tarifas aplicables y están disponibles a través de AXS.com. Wilder vs.. Fury será producido y distribuido por SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Esto es lo que Wilder y Deas dijeron el jueves en el día de los medios, donde Wilder se unió a su novia Telli Swift y su hija Kaorii de ocho meses:

 

Deontay WILDER

 

 

 

“Siento que estoy en mi mejor momento en este momento. Mentalmente, física y emocionalmente estoy listo para ir. Todo es perfecto. Solo quiero subir al ring y mostrar acción. Tyson Fury no sabe en lo que se ha metido.

 

 

 

“Como un verdadero campeón, Sé cómo adaptarme a cualquier luchador que esté frente a mí. Mi experiencia enfrentándome a luchadores de todos los estilos me ha preparado para esta pelea especial..

 

 

 

“Tuve un combate tremendo. Todos los días estoy haciendo ajustes y haciéndome bien a mí mismo para poder ajustar el tiempo y el estilo exactamente como debe ser. Si la pelea fuera este fin de semana, Deontay Wilder está listo para comenzar.

 

 

 

“Luis Ortiz fue el peleador más evitado en la división de peso pesado y entiendo por qué nunca antes había tenido la oportunidad por el título.. Soy el tipo de peleador que le da oportunidades a la gente y él era el peleador que necesitaba enfrentar para demostrarle al mundo lo que soy..

 

 

 

“Esto no es un juego para mi. Todo el mundo ha oído hablar de lo que es estar en el ring conmigo., pero hasta que estés ahí, no sabes con certeza que lo que has estado escuchando es real. Soy el mejor en el mundo. No creo que ningún peso pesado haya pasado por lo que yo he pasado.

 

 

 

“Me estoy entrenando para cierto tipo de misión. Como luchador, tengo que tener la mentalidad de que debo estar preparado para cualquier cosa.. Entonces, una vez es hora de que suene la campana, Me convierto en "El bombardero de bronce".

 

 

 

“Fury tiene altura como yo y también trae un estilo incómodo como yo.. Es flaco, móvil y cree que es el mejor del mundo. Obtendrás dos gigantes que son atléticos y se mueven alrededor del ring como nadie más en este deporte..

 

 

 

“Dicen que yo tengo el poder y él las habilidades de boxeo. Veremos en diciembre 1. Es un golpeador contra un boxeador. Creo que el golpeador va a apagar sus luces, y luego voy a apagar sus luces.

 

 

 

“No veo demasiadas películas ni estudio a los chicos más allá de entender su estilo y ver cómo usan sus estilos. Mis entrenadores ven películas y usan ese conocimiento para darme consejos durante la pelea.. Encuentro que mis oponentes luchan de manera diferente dependiendo de a quién se enfrenten, así que no puedo detenerme demasiado en ver peleas pasadas.”

 

JAY agradable, Entrenador de Wilder

 

 

 

“Tyson Fury es como un cubo de Rubik. Pero un cubo de Rubik se puede resolver. Fury es un luchador muy versátil que puede moverse, puede boxear y pelear desde muchas distancias. Él es el paquete total como luchador y además tiene una fuerte voluntad mental.

 

 

 

“Tenemos nuestras manos llenas, pero sé que Deontay Wilder es el tipo que maneja a Tyson Fury. Deontay es el tipo adecuado para hacerse cargo del box y este es el primer paso en eso..

 

 

 

“Deontay ha tenido un campamento fantástico y hemos tenido muy buenos compañeros de entrenamiento.. Fury es un luchador alto, pero es realmente el atletismo lo que lo convierte en lo que es. Creemos que es mejor encontrar hombres más atléticos que sean un poco más bajos que Fury, en lugar de alguien de su altura que es una estatua.

 

 

 

“Afortunadamente, Deontay siempre ha sido un luchador concentrado, así que no creo que sea un problema mantenerlo mentalmente bien. Deontay puede manejar cualquier caos a su alrededor mejor que nadie que haya visto. Cuando dice que es el hombre para este trabajo, realmente lo dice en serio.

 

 

 

“Lo difícil de prepararse para Tyson Fury es que incluso él no sabe exactamente qué va a hacer allí.. El puede pelear zurdo, derecho, sucio o limpio. Estamos trabajando para estar preparados para todas estas cosas y más.

 

 

 

“Ambos muchachos son muy atléticos y con un estilo muy extraño., pero una vez que esta lucha arde, va a ser fenomenal. No quieres parpadear ni ir al baño, el pretzel puede esperar, porque querrás captar cada segundo.”

LOS ANGELES (Octubre 25, 2018) – Campeón lineal de peso pesado Tyson Fury organizó un día de prensa en Los Ángeles el jueves en Churchill Boxing Club en Santa Mónica mientras se prepara para enfrentarse al campeón de peso pesado del CMB Deontay Wilder Sábado, Diciembre 1 del STAPLES Center de Los Ángeles en SHOWTIME PPV®.

 

 

 

Furia, quien esta entrenando en Big Bear, llegó cerca en helicóptero para el entrenamiento de los medios para discutir el enfrentamiento con Wilder antes de saltar al ring para mostrar las habilidades que lo convirtieron en un IBF, Campeón de peso pesado de la AMB y la OMB.

 

 

 

Las entradas para el evento, que está promovido por BombZquad Empresas y Promociones de Queensberry, en asociación con DiBella Entertainment y TGB Promociones, están a la venta.

Fury estaba haciendo ejercicio en pantalones cortos de Oddball, una empresa que dona todos sus ingresos a la investigación para combatir el cáncer de testículo, una causa que Fury ha defendido. Esto es lo que Fury y su entrenador, Soy davison, tenía que decir el jueves desde Churchill Boxing Club en Santa Mónica:

 

Tyson Fury

 

 

 

“Esta es una pelea importante para el boxeo., porque son dos campeones invictos enfrentados. Ha habido gente que no se ha subido al ring con los mejores por alguna razón., pero aquí tienes a dos luchadores subiendo y subiendo a la línea.

 

 

 

“Es una pelea bastante fácil de analizar, Deontay Wilder necesita conectarse con esa gran mano derecha y noquearme, y necesito no dejar que él haga eso. Necesito hacer todo lo que pueda para salir del camino de esa mano derecha, y hacer que se preocupe por defender mis golpes.

 

 

 

“Ya me convertí en un campeón unificado; He cruzado el puente hacia el escalón más alto del deporte.. Esta vez estoy de vuelta y estoy aquí para siempre.

 

 

 

“Estoy de vuelta para reclamar mi trono. Aunque he tenido las peleas de puesta a punto, Siento que esta es mi verdadera pelea de regreso.

 

 

 

“Estoy acostumbrado a ser hostil, ambientes solitarios para campo de entrenamiento. Para la pelea de Wladimir Klitschko estuve en Holanda, en un bosque 10 millas de distancia de cualquier tienda o ciudad. Prospero en la condición en Big Bear.

 

 

 

“No ha habido distracciones entrenando en Big Bear. Es perfecto. No hay nada más que algunos osos y serpientes de cascabel. Eso es todo en cuanto a distracciones.

 

 

 

“Tengo un gran entrenador prometedor y me preparará para el desafío..

 

 

 

“Uso mucho estos pantalones cortos funky en público y los usé hoy porque representan a una compañía llamada Oddballs., y cada centavo gastado en estos pantalones se destina a la investigación para combatir el cáncer testicular. Un amigo mío lo pasó recientemente, y quiero crear conciencia sobre él y esta causa.”

 

YO SOY DAVISON, Entrenador de furia

 

 

 

“Tengo un gran sentido de Tyson Fury y puedo sentir lo que necesita cuando se despierta cada día y entra al gimnasio.. Nuestra relación realmente ha solidificado estos últimos 12 meses.

 

 

 

“Va a ser una pelea llena de acción, eso seguro. Ambos hombres son fenómenos violentos de la naturaleza para ser honesto contigo. Va a ser una batalla épica.

 

 

 

“Creo que físicamente solo puedes ver lo lejos que ha llegado Tyson Fury. Eso requiere mucha fuerza de voluntad y dedicación. Ha trabajado mucho solo físicamente, y eso es solo una parte de lo que le muestran en el gimnasio.

 

 

 

“Todos los pesos pesados ​​pueden golpear, si alguno de ellos te golpea en la barbilla, vas a tener problemas. No es el poder de Wilder en lo que nos estamos enfocando, es la agilidad, velocidad y torpeza que trae. Estamos estudiando sus hábitos y observando cada pequeña cosa que hace en el ring..

 

 

 

“Se necesitan peleas como estas para sacar lo mejor de Tyson Fury. Es un luchador que eleva su juego a lo que tiene frente a él.”

Deontay WILDER

 

 

 

"Peleé con uno de los mejores y creo que estoy peleando con el siguiente mejor en la fila en la división de peso pesado, y creo que es duro. Lo que pasa con Tyson, es mentalmente duro. Él es el Rey Gitano y sabes lo que dicen sobre los gitanos; son personas que viajan y son personas intrépidas. Y es por eso que es el oponente perfecto para esta situación., para esta ocasión de traer de vuelta la división de peso pesado. Entonces, cuando lo noqueo, puedo decir que noqueé a alguien que no tenía miedo..

 

 

 

"Es genial para la división de peso pesado. El es carismático, el puede hablar, Tengo una gran pareja de baile. No tiene miedo en el ring y tiene antecedentes de boxeo en su sangre.; lleva el nombre de Mike Tyson y todo eso es genial. Es bueno que sea de otro país, así que puedes ver diferentes culturas., diferentes personalidades de nosotros dos. Tienes uno de América y tienes uno de Gran Bretaña. Así que eso hará que sea aún más placentero para mí cuando lo noquee.

 

 

 

"Todo esto suma. Esto es emocionante para mí y no puedo esperar a volver a L.A. Lo que estoy diciendo es que lo voy a noquear.

 

 

 

"Sabes lo que vengo a hacer y sabes lo que voy a hacer en diciembre 1. Cuando vienes a ver peleas, vienes a ver a alguien ser noqueado. No vienes a ver peleas de 12 asaltos. Sé que vienes a ver algunas habilidades, pero vienes a ver el cuerpo de este hombre en la lona y eso es lo que te voy a entregar ".

 

Tyson Fury

 

 

 

"No hay un hombre nacido de su madre al que Tyson Fury tenga miedo, y especialmente no un hombre que usa coletas todos los días. No le temo a nada de el; No le temo a nada que pueda hacer.

 

 

 

"Es una pelea. Podemos hacer todas estas cosas en el escenario, Puedo caminar por aquí y puedo hablar tan bien como cualquier hombre del país.. Pero cuando se trata de una pelea, que va a ser un infierno de una lucha. Deontay Wilder: golpeador masivo. Me: boxeador habilidoso. Va a ser una noche épica. Esta es una pelea de legado y creo que es verdad. Y despues de que gane, me va a contratar como su publicista porque creo que puedo promover a Deontay Wilder para que vuelva a ser el campeón mundial de peso pesado en poco tiempo. Pero no hay vergüenza en perder contra mí porque soy el mejor boxeador de mi generación y no me pueden vencer., especialmente no por él.

 

 

 

"Han habido muchos, muchos luchadores antes como Deontay Wilder, pero nunca ha habido un Tyson Fury antes en la historia del boxeo. Lo sé porque estudié el juego de adentro hacia afuera.

 

 

 

"Estoy dando [Wilder] la oportunidad de luchar contra el Rey Gitano. Tengo el derecho al trono que se remonta a años y años, así que le estoy dando la oportunidad de convertirse en algo..

 

 

 

“Solo en sueños Deontay Wilder noquea a Tyson Fury. Solo en sus sueños

 

 

 

"Deontay Wilder necesita a Tyson Fury pero Tyson Fury no necesita a Deontay Wilder. Elegí a Deontay Wilder como una víctima fácil. Esta será la pelea más fácil de mi carrera ”.

 

Shelly Finkel,

 

 

 

“Va a ser una gran pelea. Últimamente, He visto a Tyson fury cantando la canción, "Solo hay un Tyson Fury". Creo que le robó eso a Ricky Hatton y viste lo que le pasó.. Creo que esa tendencia continuará ”.

 

Frank Warren

 

 

 

"Creo que Tyson es uno de los mejores, Sin duda, es uno de los pesos pesados ​​más coloridos que ha salido de Gran Bretaña.. Sus habilidades son sublimes, el hace lo imposible. Se fue a alemania, llevó a Klitschko a la escuela; un buen Klitschko. Luchó contra el chico y como dijo, él es el campeón lineal. Le encanta el desafío y es un viajero. Por eso viene al patio trasero de Deontay.. Viene a los estados, está luchando contra uno de los pesos pesados ​​más explosivos de los últimos años, un tipo que puede golpear. Creo que los estilos hacen peleas, y todo el mundo dice que Tyson correrá y Deontay irá tras él.. No creo que eso vaya a suceder; Pienso en la noche, vas a ver a Tyson mantenerse firme y vas a ver algunos fuegos artificiales serios.

 

 

 

"Esta es una gran pelea, es una pelea para los fanáticos, es genial estar aquí en L.A. para hacer esta pelea. Es genial que estemos en Estados Unidos para traer a otro británico para recuperar el cinturón.

 

 

 

"Este es el mejor luchando contra el mejor; los dos mejores pesos pesados ​​del mundo que han subido al plato y han hecho una pelea así ".

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

 

“Tenemos un evento muy especial. Qué lo hace tan especial? Claramente, Es una gran pelea por el título de peso pesado, pero hay un tipo diferente de mística y zumbido para una pelea por el título de peso pesado.. Tenemos una pelea por el título de peso pesado entre dos atletas de élite. Tenemos al pegador más duro del boxeo contra uno de los boxeadores más hábiles del deporte., ciertamente en la división de peso pesado. Es una combinación de estilos fascinante. Tenemos dos grandes personalidades y los dos luchadores más altos de la división de peso pesado..

 

 

 

“En una ciudad de grandes eventos, tenemos el mayor de los eventos. L.A. ciertamente ha tenido su parte de grandes peleas - Henry Armstrong, Arte Aragón, Bobby Chacon, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley: todos pelearon aquí. Y L.A. incluso ha albergado su parte de peleas de peso pesado. Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson luchó aquí, Muhammad Ali luchó aquí también. Pero en términos de las principales peleas por el título de peso pesado en Los Ángeles, la lista es muy corta. Ha habido tres peleas de Vitali Klitschko vs. Chris Arreola, Corrie Sanders y Lennnox Lewis. Eso es. Cuatro luchadores han luchado por el título mundial de peso pesado en Los Ángeles en su historia. Este es un evento raro en Los Ángeles. No desde 2009 ¿Hemos visto un evento por el título de peso pesado en L.A. y en una ciudad de eventos imperdibles, este es el pináculo. Hay más en juego que el título del WBC, mas que orgullo, se trata de legado e historia ".
