Below are flash quotes from today’s event at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York:

Deontay WILDER

 

 

“This fight means everything to the heavyweight division. This division was once in a dark place. A lot of people considered the division boring and not entertaining and not enough great fighters. Ja saps, people always look back at the past and say, ‘Where are the golden days? Where has it gone?’ And now today’s era is different… We’ve brought the sport back to life in the heavyweight division.

 

 

 

“We all know with me it comes with power and with knockouts. And that’s what I do. I get you guys motivated and I get you guys inspired to come and see a heavyweight fight. Because what you guys come to see in a heavyweight fight is a knockout. And I deliver that each and every time. Com he dit abans, when I say I promise you, I promise you I’m going to knock out the Gypsy King, també. TIMBERRRRRR!"

 

 

 

“I’m the one who brought him back. I’m the one who encouraged him when he was in that dark place. Li vaig dir, ‘You can do it.’ I dared him to come back. I dared him for this very moment. I want him to have confidence. I want him to have energy. Com podeu veure, that’s nerves. That’s all nerves. Because he knows what’s going to happen. He knows his face is going to get smashed in. And he knows his body will be on the pavement. Let him burn out this energy. It’s entertaining. Because when we get in the ring he’s gonna be all by himself and his demeanor will change. His mannerisms are going to change. He’s so nervous right now. He don’t know what do to with himself.

 

 

 

“Don’t give people false promises. I was born off of false promises and got nothing for free. I promise I’m going to knock you out. I speak it, believe and receive it and it’s mine. I don’t have to show so much energy, baby.”

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

“Even Deontay Wilder knows to sit in the presence of greatness. Why I am going to beat this bum is because he can’t box. He’s a big swinger and he’s knocked a few bums out. He’s been in 40 baralles i 35 of them have been against total tomato cans who can’t fight back. So really he’s only had five fights. If he thinks a five-fight novice is going to land one of those big swinging windmills onto my chin, then he can think again. After he feels a bit of power and a few stiff jabs in the face his ass is going to fall out. This is what’s going to happen: At about round five or six I’m going to start landing the overhand right and going downstairs to the body. And then around eight, nine 10, the championship rounds then it’s welcome to my world. He’s only been 12 rounds once in his career, and I’ve been 12 rounds championship distance many, many times.

 

 

 

“I’m very experienced and I’ve come back against all odds. I’m here today having beaten so many, many problems. How am I going to let this little spaghetti noodle beat me? How am I going to do that? They don’t call me the Gypsy King for nothing. I didn’t come to New York and Los Angeles and all these press conferences to be embarrassed by this little skinny runt. I’m going to knock him spark out.

 

 

 

“I’m a big, fat, bearded man who can fight like hell. You don’t need to see this fat. We all know I’m the master of disaster. We all know I have a fat stomach. But it’s going to look even worse for you when you get beaten by a fat man.

 

 

 

“I don’t want the Deontay Wilder belt. I want the Tyson Fury belt. I want the limited edition WBC belt. There’s only one Tyson Fury!

 

 

 

“You are on a suicide mission. You know I’m a CRAZY man. I’m gonna make this bum quit. I’m going to make him quit. I’m going to show him what’s it’s like to fight a real man. A real world champion. Does he even know they don’t just give lineal champion belts away? This man has never beaten a world champion. He fought some bum [Bermane] Stiverne that no one’s ever heard of.

 

 

 

“You already know you’ve lost the fight. You’re very nervous right now because all the pressure is on you.”

 

Lou DiBella

 

 

“On Dec. 1 on the floor of the Staples Center it’s going to be bombs away. You’re going to get to see the Power, and the Fury when the undefeated, hardest punching and most feared heavyweight of the world, the WBC champion, the Bronze Bomber Deontay Wilder faces the fearless Gypsy King, the undefeated linear heavyweight champion of the world.

 

 

 

“There’s no magic to making a fight of this magnitude. All it takes is for each champion to want to fight. El desembre 1 two of the three best heavyweights in the world are fighting each other, and the winner can walk away saying, ‘I AM the man!’ Until proven otherwise. That’s what this is all about. As the heavyweights go, so goes boxing. And the heavyweight division is heading for big things. El desembre 1 you are going to see a heavyweight fight for the generations.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

“There is something undeniably unique about a heavyweight title fight. Not just unique in boxing, but unique across sports. There’s a mystique, a mythical quality. Boxing’s heavyweight champions have always been heroic figures; almost super heroes. There’s a feel, a buzz in a heavyweight championship fight that is unique across all sports. And there’s certainly a unique feel to this fight, també. We have the two tallest men, the biggest men in the heavyweight division – 6-foot-9 and 6-foot-7; two huge figures both literally and figuratively.

 

 

 

“Deontay Wilder: 40 baralles, 39 KOs, most in devastating fashion. He’s one of the hardest punchers not just in boxing today, but modern boxing history. In Tyson Fury we certainly have a unique skill set. You do not see athletes who are 6-foot-9 who move the way Tyson Fury moves. He has a unique set of skills with athleticism. Outside of the NBA there’s not another more athletic 6-foot-9 athlete on the planet. It’s a fascinating clash of personalities and it’s a fascinating clash of styles and we are happy to bring it to you on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View.”

In anticipation of the biggest heavyweight event in the U.S. since Mike Tyson-Lennox Lewis in 2002, the Wilder vs. Fury International Press Tour continues Tuesday at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York and concludes Wednesday in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Below are flash quotes from today’s event at BT Sport Headquarters in London:

Deontay WILDER

 

 

“I believe every word that I say. When I say I’m going to knock a man out and tell him where and how he may lay, it comes to pass. I’m all about devastating knockouts, això és el que faig. No hi ha pressió sobre mi. You just need to be there to witness it.

 

 

 

“He has two months to get ready. He’s lost a lot of weight but he needs to lose a little bit more. He already knows he’s going to get knocked out. He can hoot and holler, he can build himself up but he needs to take my advice and speak it, believe it, receive it. He’s going to feel pain he’s never felt before.

 

 

 

“Some people don’t even think I should be fighting Fury at this point in time. Whether they want to see another fight or they don’t think he’s ready right now, we can’t live off other’s opinions. When you come to see a Deontay Wilder fight, you’re only coming to see one thing and that’s me knocking somebody out. You all are looking at the 41st person that’s going to be knocked out.

 

 

 

“The antics aren’t going to work against me. Jo no sóc (Wladimir) Klitschko, this is Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

“I definitely think I’m the No. 1 heavyweight in the world. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t feel I was the best. I’m not worried about any other fighters or what they’re saying or how they are hyping themselves up. I already know I’m the part. All you have to do is tune in. I’m about to put him in the oven and make a muffin.”

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

“I am no challenger for no man. I am the lineal heavyweight champion of the world. That means I’m the best of the best. The elite champion. This is two champions colliding, this is equal-rights champion vs. campió.

 

 

 

“I’m savoring nothing. The only thing I’m savoring is smashing Deontay Wilder’s teeth in. The press has all turned up today to see the biggest fight of our generation between two undefeated giants, and boy are you going to get a fight. You’re in for a real treat, don’t worry about that. I’m in no mood to dance around the ring. There’s not a 15 stone man on the planet that can beat Tyson Fury.

 

 

 

“I have no concern at all about my lack of fights in recent years. Si pots lluitar, pots lluitar. I picked this fight. I said to Frank, get me this fight. I could have fought another 10 bums and won them too. Nobody forced me to fight Deontay Wilder, I picked him because I believe he’s an easy touch.”

 

 

 

“I will stand right in front of him and prove what I will do. I will punch his face seven days a week and twice on a Sunday. If we fought 30 vegades, I’d win 30 times.”

 

Lou DiBella

 

 

“It’s been a long time since the heavyweight division has had two giants like this. Two champions at the top of their game, at the top of their division willing to fight one another. It’s not rocket science making a fight. Deontay spent a lot of time trying to make a fight with another guy from England who didn’t want to fight. When Fury got himself back into the ring and got himself in the shape he is in now, Shelly (Finkel) and Frank (Cau) were able to make this fight very quickly.

 

 

 

“When two great champions want to make a fight, the fight happens. That’s why December 1 is happening. We’re going to know right then and there who the best heavyweight on the planet is until proven otherwise. The winner of this fight will be the best heavyweight on the planet.

 

 

 

“Fury is an interesting guy who has had to overcome a lot of adversity. I think he should be proud of himself for getting his life in order and being able to turn things around. What he’s done in the last six months has been remarkable. I’m still going to admire him after he gets knocked out on December 1.”

 

SHELLY FINKEL

 

 

“I have nothing but respect for our challenger, Fúria. When I was handling Klitschko, we didn’t think Fury had a chance against him. He proved me wrong. He won’t prove me wrong twice.

 

 

 

“We didn’t pick to fight Tyson because we thought he was easy, we believe he’s the best out there. We want to fight the best, and only the best. We have respect for you because your countryman didn’t want to fight even though he was offered a fortune to fight. When it was presented, he said no. I commend you for stepping right in.”

 

FRANK WARREN

 

 

“These are the two best heavyweights because they’re willing to step in the ring together. That’s what great fighters do. We are going to see something special on December 1. I think it’s going to be a fight that nobody expects. This is not going to be cat and mouse, que serà una guerra. Tyson has a fighter’s mentality. He’s not trying to duck out through contracts, through a backdoor method. He wanted the fight and Shelly and I worked together to make this happen. You cannot miss it. This will be one of the best heavyweight fights for a long time.

 

 

 

“Fury is traveling to the other guy’s backyard like he did when he went to Germany and took Klitschko to school. He’s going to take Deontay’s belt and this is a fight you cannot afford to miss.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

“This is a fight that has captivated America and will continue to captivate America. We have two mythical figures and that’s what people love about the heavyweight division; they are almost superheroes. In particular, these two individuals are the two largest men in the heavyweight division and I mean that in a physical sense as well as their personalities. En paper, en el ring, on the press tour, it’s a phenomenal matchup.”

WBC SILVER MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION ROBERTO GARCIA ISN’T AFRAID OF MARTIN MURRAY; “I’M READY TO FIGHT JUNE 23”

Leave a comment

Platja Deerfield, Florida (Juny 6, 2018)—Martin Murray is one very upset fighter.

Murray was scheduled to fight for the WBO Middleweight Championship at the O2 Arena in London, England on June 23, but champion Billy Joe Saunders has pulled out of the fight because of an injury for a second time.

WBC Silver Middleweight Champion Roberto Garcia has just the cure for the upset Murray.

“I’m not like Saunders,", va dir Garcia. “I’m not afraid of Murray. I’m willing to risk my title and come to London to fight Murray before his hometown fans. Seguirem endavant!"

Saunders postponed the originally scheduled April 14º fight with Murray because of a alleged hand injury. Now he is pulling out of the June fight because of an alleged hamstring injury.

“My manager, Lee Holliday, informed me today that my promoter, Don King, has reached out to Warren’s team about making this fight. I have a “have Belt and will Travel” attitude and ready to back it up tomorrow if necessary.

“No more whining about Billy Joe and his excuses. If you want to fight on June 23, then put up or shut up. Sinó, then you are just Billy Joe with different excuses.”

BUTLER CONEIX EN RODRIGUEZ PER AL TÍTOL MUNDIAL DE LA FIB AL MAIG 5

Leave a comment

 

AWE to Air Live Bellew v. Haye II, en dissabte, 5 de maig

 

 

L'esperada represa entre Tony Bellew i David Haye s'emetrà en directe i exclusivament a AWE
 

 

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – Abril 12, 2018 -Paul Butler té l'oportunitat de convertir-se en dues vegades campió mundial de pes gallo de la FIB quan s'enfronta a l'invicte Emmanuel Rodríguez a l'O2 de Londres el maig. 5, en directe a AWE-A Wealth of Entertainment.

 

 

 

L'enfrontament de Butler amb Rodríguez forma part d'una gran nit d'acció a Greenwich, mentre els rivals de pes pesat Tony Bellew i David Haye s'enfronten en una represa molt esperada..

 

 

 

Butler va aterrar la corretja IBF a l'abril 2014 agafant-lo de Stuart Hall a Newcastle abans de deixar la corretja per baixar a Super-Flyweight al març 2015 per desafiar al campió de l'IBF, Zolani Tete.

 

 

 

L'"Assassí cara de nadó".’ va tornar a les 118 lliures i va tornar a la lluita pel títol quan va veure còmodament a Hall en una represa a Liverpool al setembre., i està classificat amb quatre a l'IBF, un lloc per darrere del millor valorat Rodríguez.

 

 

 

Els invictes 25 el visitant d'un any està ben valorat per haver córrer 17-0 a les files de pagament amb 12 guanya dins la distància, un ascens encara més impressionant després d'un bagatge d'aficionats que va ser atrofiat per un accident de cotxe.

 

 

 

El viatge de Rodríguez a Londres és el seu primer fora d'Amèrica des que es va convertir en professional i el primer en la distància del campionat, i Butler té la intenció de fer del viatge un miserable per al porto-riqueny i recuperar el seu títol.

 

 

 

“Estic molt emocionat per això,” va dir Butler. “Aquesta és la raó per la qual vam venir a Eddie en primer lloc, Sabia que em lliuraria les grans baralles. Estem a només quatre setmanes. És una gran prova però estic segur.

 

 

 

“És un honor tornar a disputar el títol de l'IBF. Vull tornar a guanyar-lo i espero defensar, cosa que no vaig tenir l'oportunitat de fer l'última vegada.

 

 

 

“En aquell moment va semblar una bona idea desallotjar, però mirant enrere ara hauria d'haver agafat el cinturó. Hauria d'haver treballat la meva força i condicionament, va omplir i defensar el meu títol. Definitivament tinc alguns assumptes pendents amb això – seria genial sortir-hi i tornar-lo a guanyar.

 

 

 

“És una prova més dura l'última vegada que vaig guanyar el títol, però estic preparat per al repte. M'he millorat a mi mateix. Se'l promociona com la propera gran superestrella, però quants d'ells vénen aquí i es tornen al cap?

 

 

 

“Mai vaig mirar als meus oponents, però com que m'he relacionat amb Joe, sempre m'envia petits clips. Sembla un bon nen, li agrada treballar a la gamma mitjana, però en realitat no vull dir massa sobre el que fa i no ho fa bé.

 

 

 

“No m'importa el gran i dur que sigui – tots dos tenim dos braços, dues cames, ell és de Puerto Rico i jo sóc d'Ellesmere Port, així que anem-hi. Veig que aquesta és una molt bona lluita, A tots dos ens agrada anar cos a cap, cap a cos, però sortiré sent el dos cops campió mundial de pes gallo de la FIB.”

 

 

 

Els superpesos mitjans John Ryder i Jamie Cox s'enfronten en un enfrontament crucial a la divisió de 168 lliures i Martin J.. Ward defensa el seu títol europeu de pes súper ploma contra James Tennyson.

 

 

 

L'hora d'inici prevista és 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT.

 

La targeta de lluita també es retransmetrà en directe a través de KlowdTV al canal AWE.

Bellator 200: GEGARD MOUSASI DESAFIA RAFAEL CARVALHO PER AL TÍTOL DE PES MITJÀ I LA PÀGINA BRITÀNICA DE MICHAEL 'VENOM' TORNA CONTRA DAVID 'CAVEMAN' RICKELS

LONDRES Acollirà HISTÒRIC Bellator 200 A MAIG 25

cid:image002.png@01D3AED7.C4230F30

ENTRADES A LA VENDA AQUEST DIVENDRES

LOS ANGELES - Bellator té el plaer d'anunciar el seu esperat retorn a Londres Bellator 200 a Divendres, Maig 25. L'esdeveniment emblemàtic emanarà de The SSE Arena, Wembley i s'emetrà a Paramount Network.

 

Les dues primeres baralles, del que promet ser un dels esdeveniments més emocionants de la història de l'empresa, compta amb un campió de pes mitjà Rafael Carvalho (15-1) defensant la seva corona contra Gegard Mousasi (43-6-2) i el retorn dels propis de Londres Michael Pàgina "Venom" (12-0), que assumeix David "L'home de les cavernes" Rickels (19-4, 2 NC). En breu s'anunciaran combats de cartes principals addicionals.

 

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment estaran disponibles per al públic en general Divendres, Març 2 al The SSE Arena, Taquilla de Wembley (0844 815 0815), Ticketmaster.com, ssearena.co.uk i axs.com. Es farà una venda anticipada especial de SSE Dimecres, Febrer 28, mentre que totes les altres prevendes, inclosa Bellator Nation, començarà Dijous, Març 1.

 

"Bellator continua posant un gran èmfasi en la seva expansió als mercats d'arreu del món i creant una forta presència al Regne Unit.. és una part molt important d'això,", va dir el president de Bellator, Scott Coker. “Els nostres fans estaran entusiasmats amb la targeta que hem creat per a aquest esdeveniment monumental, com Bellator 200 serà un dels nostres millors fins ara".

 

Volant tranquil·lament sota el radar com l'actual campió més llarg de Bellator, Rafael Carvalho rep el repte més difícil fins ara quan coneix Mousasi a Londres. Un producte de Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, Carvalho es va unir a la llista de Bellator 2014, va captar l'atenció dels fans que van sintonitzar Bellator 125 en acabar amb èmfasi Brian Rogers a la primera ronda. La carrera no s'ha aturat aquí, ja que el jugador de 31 anys ha anat a la derrota Joe Schilling, Alessio Sakara, Melvin Manhoef (2x) i Brandon Halsey, empatant el rècord de la majoria de defenses del títol en la història de la divisió en el procés.

 

Gegard Mousasi va impressionar en el seu debut promocional sobre l'antic campió de pes mitjà de Bellator Alexander Shlemenko, una victòria que va empènyer la seva ratxa invicta actual a sis combats. "L'atrapador de somnis,” que actualment entrena fora dels Països Baixos, té un dels currículums més impressionants de tot l'esport, al mateix temps guanyant el títol de pes lleuger STRIKEFORCE, així com els títols de pes lleuger i mitjà DREAM. Amb victòries contra alguns dels millors de l'esport, inclòs Chris Weidman, Vitor Belfort, Uriah Hall, I Henderson, "Jacare" Souza, Mark Hunt i Ovince Saint-Preux, el cinturó negre de judo ara posarà la mirada en l'or de Bellator quan entri a la gàbia el maig 25.

 

There are few fighters who in such a short span of time have provided the type of highlight-reel entertainment that Michael Page has. Ara, “MVP” returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since 2016, a year that saw Page go viral for his perfectly-timed flying knee finish against 40-fight-veteran “Cyborg” Santos and the well-orchestrated celebration that included the toss of a Pokéball. 2017 saw Page successfully enter the realm of boxing, where he won his debut via TKO. En Bellator 200, the London native will make his ninth appearance for Bellator, going unbeaten and finishing his opponent in the opening frame on five occasions.

 

David Rickels has competed under the Bellator banner more times than anyone in promotional history with 19 and will extend the record when he returns to 170-pounds for the first time since the Bellator Season Six Welterweight Tournament in 2012. The fighting pride of Derby, Kansas is coming off a unanimous decision victory against Adam Piccolot el desembre passat, improving his current winning streak to two. Never one to shy away from a scrap, this matchup should produce fireworks when “The Caveman’s” style clashes with the unorthodox swagger of “MVP.”

Batalla de títol mundial de pes mitjà: Rafael Carvalho (15-1) vs. Gegard Mousasi (43-6-2)

Combat de la targeta principal del pes pesat: Michael Pàgina (12-0) vs. David Rickels (19-4, 2 NC)

Jessica McCaskill Gets Her Wish to Face Katie Taylor: Social Media Challenges Turn to Women’s Super Fight on December 13 a Londres

Leave a comment
Christmas comes a little early this year for hard-punching Warriors Boxing lightweight Jessica ‘CasKILLA’ McCaskill.

All year, she and manager/trainer Rick Ramos have been expressing their wish, via social media, to face Irish gold medalist turned professional world champion Katie Taylor.
En Dimecres, Desembre 13, they will get their wish, as Chicago-based McCaskill (5-1, 3 KOs) will challenge Taylor (7-0, 4 KOs) for her WBA Lightweight Championship at York Hall in London, Anglaterra, and live before a massive audience on Sky Sports.
“I’m relieved. I’ve been working toward this fight for a long time,” said McCaskill, Qualificació #2 in the world at 135 lbs and #1 in the United States in women’s boxing. “We have been training for this fight since my last fight because we knew it was coming and we’ve definitely bumped up the intensity.”
Before turning professional a year ago, the popular Taylor, from Bray, won lightweight gold at the 2012 Jocs Olímpics de Londres, as well as an impressive assortment of world and European amateur championships. Known as the Irish athlete of her entire generation, Taylor is regarded as a superstar in the UK because of her aggressive and crowd-pleasing style.
“I’ve never watched a full fight of hers,” professed McCaskill. “I’ve seen some highlights. I see mistakes she makes, but it’s not so much what I see in her. It’s what I see in all her opponents. They’ve all been scared of her. I am not. You won’t see any fear in me. Everybody else was terrified to engage her. They just showed up. I’ll be fighting to the last bell.”
Much of the credit for landing the fight must go to Ramos, who doggedly pursued Taylor and her promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, on social media.
“I felt like offended about comments Katie and Eddie made about how no one wants to fight her,” explained Ramos. “I remember thinking, ‘well, NO ONE called Jessica. We would love to fight Katie!’ That kind of started everything. Eddie Hearn finally did contact me via Instagram and things started getting real. I was happy that my social-media tactic worked!”
McCaskill, who also works full-time in Regulatory and Reporting at R.J. O’Brien & Associates investment bank in Chicago, says she’s not intimidated about stepping into Taylor’s home field for this fight. De fet, she’s expecting a number of her fans to be there as well.
“It’s funny because of my job and my previous investment banking job, I have a lot of contacts and friends over there who are excited to show up for me. My company I work for has a branch that is three miles from the venue. I’ll be expecting a lot of fans there for me as well that night. It would be incredible to headline over there and to break her undefeated record and get my first world title in one night in front of them. No puc esperar!”

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS V WILLIE MONROE JR, SEPTEMBER 16TH IN LONDON

Leave a comment

THE WBO MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD
PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA

LONDRES (Juliol 17, 2017)–OMB campió mundial de pes mitjà Billy Joe Saunders will make the second defense of his crown against New York’s Willie Monroe Jr.. a Dissabte, 16 de setembre at London’s Copper Box Arena, live on BT Sport and BoxNation.

Hatfield’s Saunders (24-0, 12 KOs) defeated Irish hero Andy Lee to take the WBO strap in a close and absorbing fight back in December 2015 that saw the undefeated star floor the former Champion twice in the third round and go on to claim a majority decision from the judges.

A series of injuries led to a frustrating 2016 for Saunders, but he eventually defended his belt last December against Artur Akavov in Glasgow. Saunders was not at his best, but outpointed the game Russian. He was due to take on Avtandil Khurtsidze before the Georgian’s arrest in June.

Monroe Jr. (21-2, 6 KOs) has a second chance at winning a World Title after a sixth round stoppage loss against IBF, WBA and WBC Middleweight World Champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin back in 2015. Since then the 30-year-old has won two decisions over John Thompson and Gabriel Rosado and holds a number five World ranking with the WBO.

“I am happy for this World Title opportunity,” said Monroe Jr. “I’m always in the gym and I’m ready to go now; I live the life. I can’t wait to show up and show out in London. Saunders is a good fighter and a worthy World Champion but I’m coming for that belt.”

“I gave a good account of myself against Golovkin, but I will admit that I got caught up in the moment. Billy Joe has had a lot of luxuries throughout his career that I haven’t had. All of his fights have been here in his own backyard, he hasn’t had to go into the Lion’s Den to prove himself. He calls me mentally weak but we’ll see on 16 de setembre.”

“Willie is a good fighter and a good boxer,” said Saunders. “This is his big chance and he isn’t coming over here just to make up the numbers. He has been in with some of the best fighters in the World including Golovkin where he came up short.”

“I think it is going to be a very close fight but I already have the mental edge over him. He said he was done against Golovkin and that’s not what a warrior would do. I’d rather get knocked out cold than quit. I haven’t had the chance to show my true skill and talent as of yet as a pro. I can’t afford to overlook him and I’ll be in the best shape of my life on 16 de setembre. Estic 100% going to get the win.”

Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions said: “I am very happy for Willie; this is a great opportunity. A lot of things had to fall into place for Willie to get this fight. Saunders is a great fighter, and this should be a terrific event. I want to thank tthe WBO as well as Frank Warren and Billy Joe Saunders for this opportunity.”

Saunders’ promoter Frank Warren said: “Bill will have to be at the very top of his game to get the win on 16 de setembre. The winner of this fight will have the missing piece on the Middleweight jigsaw, Canelo and Golovkin both want that WBO belt.”

“If Bill comes through this fight we are pushing hard for the winner of Canelo vs. Golovkin. If Golovkin wins I hope we can do that fight in December, if Canelo wins it could be in the New Year. Bill has to go out there and prove a point, there is a lot on the line.”

Ilford Light-Heavyweight knockout king Anthony Yarde and teenage Heavyweight sensation Daniel Dubois will feature on an action-packed undercard. Yarde picked up the WBO European strap with a first round KO win over Richard Baranyi last time out at the Copper Box Arena while 19 year-old Dubois claimed the WBC World Youth Heavyweight belt in only his fourth contest.

Full undercard details will be announced shortly.

Tickets for Saunders v Monroe Jr priced at £40, £50, £70, £100, £150, £200 and £300 (VIP/Hospitality) are available from:
