Майки GARCIA
“Очакваме труден конкурентна борба. Lipinets е боец, който винаги е опасно. Той има власт в двете си ръце и той не се страхува да споделите с ръцете си отиват. Той е също така склонни да се удари, така че той може да ви удари назад. Това е, което го прави опасен.

“Това ще бъде трудна битка. Аз съм с цел да се получи печалба никакъв начин, че мога. Не мога да кажа това, което ще изглежда като, но аз ще бъда готов за всичко на ринга.
“Идвам, за да спечели. Искам да бъда в позицията, че Майки е достигнал в този спорт. Аз съм работил усилено, за да стигнем до този момент и аз ще го дам моя всички да се възползват.

Ето какво участниците на пресконференцията трябваше да се каже, Понеделник от стаята Conga в L.A. На живо:

 

Майки GARCIA

 

“A world champion like Sergey Lipinets is more exciting an opponent for me than an easy title defense. I wanted a challenge and this man presents that. He’s a bigger man naturally. He’s going to be very hungry and motivated. He knows a victory over me launches his career to the top. That’s going to make this an interesting fight.

 

“To win a world title in a fourth division is a big deal to me. My dad always wanted a three-division world champion, and now I have a chance to give him a fourth title. That’s something that really excites me.

 

“It’s been a great return to boxing since my layoff. When I came back, I wanted to move fast and take on big challenges. That’s what we’ve been doing so far. I want to take on any challenges that people think I can’t achieve. I think slowly we’re proving to everyone that I’m better than ever and I’m going to keep taking on the kinds of fights that will cement my legacy.

 

“It would be a great accomplishment to be in the discussion with guys like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, that would be a win in itself. But it wasn’t on my mind when taking this fight. I just want to keep fighting the best out there. There’s still more for me to accomplish until I’m on the same level as Pacquiao and Marquez.

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. Like I’ve said, the challenge for me is that I’ll be fighting the bigger man. На Fight Night, that advantage he has on me might be enough to make it that much more exciting. It will be interesting to see how well I adapt to the size. I have to make adjustments to overcome those challenges. This should give the fans the excitement that we want to give them.

 

“My only focus is on Февруари 10 against Sergey Lipinets. That’s my target throughout the entire camp. There may be more opportunities for me on the horizon, but you’ll see on fight night that I’m one hundred percent focused.

 

“I know that I have the possibility to be the biggest star in boxing like a Floyd Mayweather, and I think I’m on track to accomplish that. I don’t see a lot of guys in the sport with the resume of accomplishments that I have. I’m going to continue take on the best and beat my opponents convincingly.”

 

СЕРГЕЙ LIPINETS

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great champion and I want to be in the position that he’s reached in this sport. The only way there is to go through him.

 

“I’m taking on a great challenge against Mikey Garcia, and many people think I’m not ready. This is the fight that I wanted. I’ve had many obstacles in my way throughout my career and I’ve overcome them all. I’m going to overcome Mikey Garcia just like that.

 

“Every time I have sparred with top fighters, like Terrence Crawford, I have learned more about what I need to improve to get to the next level in this sport. That kind of experience has helped my confidence increase and will help me when I face Mikey Garcia.

 

“A lot of things can happen when you move up in weight. Usually people use some pop. Whatever version of Mikey Garcia shows up; I’ll be ready for him.

 

“I believe I’m going to win, Mikey believes he’s going to win, and it will all unveil in the ring. One thing I can guarantee; това ще бъде голяма борба.

 

“Every fight I’ve had has been against a tough opponent who has helped get me to this point. Сега, I’m ready to fight the best, and Mikey Garcia is truly that.

 

“I had to work very hard to make the transition from champion kickboxer to a champion boxer. I did everything I had to do, moving from gym to gym and sparring everyone. I always aimed for the best and wanted to be the best at what I do.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Треньор

 

“We know that Sergey Lipinets is a very dangerous fighter. He’s a really strong champion. I know he’s going to be hungry because he wants to become a big name by beating Mikey.

 

“Mikey is very smart in the ring. We’re going to come in there with a good game plan. We’ll have some big sparring partners. Strong, heavy guys who will give Mikey a big challenge in sparring.

 

“Mikey has to be in great shape for this fight. You can easily win the first eight rounds, but there are still four left. You have to be able to finish the fight. A great power puncher like Lipinets can finish you in one round.”

 

BUDDY MCGIRT, Lipinets’ Trainer

 

“We will be prepared for any and every thing. This way, when fight night comes, we’ll have an answer for everything. The key is that we just have to be on point from the opening bell to the end. There’s no way around it.

 

“We’re going to cover everything in training camp. You have to have every option available to you on fight night. This way, you’re never surprised in the ring. Sergey won’t go in there swinging to get a knockout, he’s going to be disciplined and focus on getting the victory.

 

“I believe that Sergey is on a mission. I know Mikey Garcia is on a mission too, and I respect that. I respect that these two men are fighting each other. Champions do what Sergey is doing, and that’s fighting the best.”

 

РИЧАРД SCHAEFER, Председател & Главен изпълнителен директор на Ringstar Sports

 

“This is going to be a huge night for the 140-pound division. It will be another toe-to-toe showdown at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where so many great matchups have taken place before. Билетите започват от само $20 so we expect another great crowd of fight fans down in Texas.

 

“This matchup features two undefeated fighters, two big punchers and 50 победи, 40 с нокаут, between the two of them. These guys are both champions who are daring to be great. These are exactly the kind of fighters that the public likes. These fighters will push themselves to be great.

 

“These guys only know one thing, and that is winning. Sergey Lipinets is the biggest puncher at 140-pounds and it seems like Mikey Garcia always seeks out these big punchers.

 

“Mikey is looking to do something that only Manny Paccquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done, in moving up from 126 pounds through 140 pounds winning titles at each division. It is very difficult to carry that power up from featherweight. You have to tune-in to see an exciting fighter like that trying to make history.”

 

СТИВЪН Еспиноза, Изпълнителен вицепрезидент & Генерален мениджър, Шоу Спорт

 

“What boxing needs are great fights. Good, high quality matchups like Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Фрамптън, Кийт Търман срещу. Danny Garcia and Errol Spence vs. Кел Brook. There needs consistently be good fights, and that’s what we have been doing at SHOWTIME for the last couple of years. No other network has done the quality of fights that SHOWTIME is doing. No other network is as committed to the sport as SHOWTIME has been.

 

“The best need to fight the best, and that is what Mikey Garcia has done. He came off of a two-and-a-half-year layoff and в 18 месеца he’s had four fights, two title fights and will be going for a title in a fourth weight class, something only Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done before. That’s what great fighters do.

 

“Historically the fighters who separate themselves as legendary, are the ones who challenge themselves and travel across weight classes to seek these challenges. But there are two sides to this story. Those who have been paying attention have seen Sergey Lipinets make a lot of noise on SHOWTIME cards lately. He has risen very quickly.

 

“If you just look at Lipinets’ record, 13-0, and think about him fighting Mikey Garcia it would sound crazy. But if you look at the kind of competition he’s faced, his last seven opponents have a combined record of 163-15. That’s not something you usually see 13 fights into a career. Lipinets is a combat veteran, and whatever happens in the ring, he will be ready for it. It’s going to make for an exciting night.”

NEW YORK (Юли 13, 2017) – Day three of their blockbuster world tour sawboxing legend Флойд Мейуедър and UFC superstar Conor McGregor continue to trade verbal jabs as the global stars went face-to-face in front of over 13,000 fans at Barclays Center ahead of their Август. 26 showdown on SHOWTIME PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After filling venues in Los Angeles and Toronto, an electric crowd greeted the two fighters Thursday as Mayweather and McGregor picked up right where they left off, building on the two increasingly combative press conferences held Вторник иСряда.
The world tour concludes в петък when the fighters travel to The SSE Arena, Уембли в Лондон.
Ето какво борците трябваше да каже четвъртък:
FLOYD Мейуедър
I knew that this was going to be a huge event. We had to give the people what they wanted to see and if we break the PPV record, all I’ll be doing is breaking my own record.
I’m just thankful to be in this position. To be at this age and compete against young guys, това е благословия. He’s bigger, he has a longer reach and I’ve been inactive. Още, we’ve never seen him lose standing up. He feels like he’s the best. I was the best when I was competing. So I think I had to come back for this last hurrah.
Even though I haven’t been competing in boxing, you still have young guys calling me out all the time. Even the MMA fighters call me out.
My thing is that either I’m going to get him, or he’s going to get me. The outcome is going to be what it’s going to be. Once you have that mindset, you’re going to be okay. He’s coming for me and I’m coming for him.
Nobody knows that squared circle like me. I know angles. I know where to touch you at. I know what you don’t like. I don’t have to watch your tapes. That’s something I’m blessed with. Но, he’s unorthodox. So it’ll definitely be something different in the ring. I just have to keep my composure.
I have to stand up for the Americans and the American fight fans. He represents his country and I represent the red, white and blue. I represent everyone in this country.
I’ve been doing this for 21 years in five weigh classes. I’ve never quit.
CONOR MCGREGOR
Floyd saying he’s going to knock me out is the funniest comment of the whole tour. I hope he comes for it and I hope he brings it. I’ll be prepared for anything and anticipate whatever he brings.
“Аз съм в страхотна форма, that’s why I’m not wearing a shirt. I’m in shape to fight right now. I don’t have a nick on my body right now. Аз ще бъда 100 percent on fight night.
I have a very high fight IQ. I understand when to go and when not to. Only me and the opponent can see these details. I’m very confident whether it’s in a ring or an octagon.
The rounds are two minutes shorter than I’m used to and there’s a lot less action than I’m used to. He’s going to feel like he’s wrestling a bear when we tie up for the first time. He’s too small. I’m going to have my way with him.
I know every shot he throws. Аз знам какво да очаквам. He fights the same every time. So we’re preparing. But he knows nothing about me. He has no idea how I’m going approach him.
I’m not tired of this. It’s really a lot of fun. We’ll keep it professional for now. I could never get tired of this. It’s such a great time to be a fight fan.
Floyd is saying a lot about me tapping out, but he’s never had a true fight. He knows nothing about the game that I’m involved with. We’ll see who is quitting on Август. 26.
To come back here in New York, where I made history and become the first fighter in UFC history to win titles simultaneously, I’m blown away by the support.

TORONTO (Юли 12, 2017) – The tension between boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor boiled over into Toronto в сряда as the global stars continued their blockbuster World Tour to announce their Август. 26showdown on SHOWTIME PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Mayweather and McGregor met в сряда for just the second time, jarring toe-to-toe for more than three minutes in the initial faceoff in front of a largely pro-McGregor crowd at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage.

Multi-platinum and GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist Drake made a special guest appearance in front of his hometown Toronto fans “to witness history” for an event to celebrate what he called “the biggest fight in the history of fighting.”

After hearing McGregor once again promised to knock out a man that’s never been beaten, Mayweather challenged McGregor to put his money where his mouth is.

“If you believe in yourself like you say you believe in yourself, bet your whole fight check,” Mayweather said.

“One shot is all it takes,” promise McGregor. “Check the facts – I bounce heads off the canvas.”

The Mayweather vs. McGregor World Tour continues Четвъртък at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and concludes в петък at Wembley Arena in London.

Below are flash quotes from today’s event in Toronto:

FLOYD Мейуедър:

“We’re not talking about being at the top for one year, two years, three years, four years. We’re talking about 21 години.

“Turn the pressure up. I don’t quit, I don’t fold under pressure. I’m the best and I know I’m the best.

“If you believe in yourself like you say you believe in yourself, bet your whole fight check.”

CONOR MCGREGOR:

“I thrive in uncomfortable positions. There is nothing these guys can do to phase me. Twenty-eight years of age, I’m getting fight checks and promoter checks. When Floyd was 28, he was on Oscar De La Hoya’s undercard and that’s just facts.

“Toronto, what a city. I was here one time, I was also on a world tour. I was also facing an unconquerable quest. I was facing the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, Хосе Алдо. They said the same things then as they’re saying now. They said I have no chance. They said I’m in over my head. They said [той] kicks too hard, too many weapons. The Irishman is going to fall short, he doesn’t stand a hope. It took me 13 секунди.

“One shot is all it takes. Check the facts. I bounce heads off the canvas.

“He tip-tap-toes to a decision. He’s never fought a day in his life, he’s a runner.”

Лос Анджелис (Юли 11, 2017) – Unbeaten boxing legend Floyd “Пари” Мейуедър and UFC star “Прословутия” Conor McGregor оттеглиха лице в лице за първи път във вторник, in a highly anticipated press conference in front of over 11,000 fans at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles as the two global stars discussed their Събота, Август 26 showdown at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in an event that will be produced and distributed live by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

The fighters posed for the first face-off of the unprecedented event that has captured the imagination of sports fans around the world. Mayweather and McGregor will meet in a super welterweight contest that serves as the first time champions from boxing and MMA will meet in a sanctioned boxing match.

 

The Mayweather vs. McGregor world tour will continue on to Toronto, New York City and London as the superstars deliver all the spectacle of the summer’s biggest event directly to the fans who demanded it.

 

Ето какво участниците на пресконференцията трябваше да се каже, Вторник:

 

FLOYD Мейуедър

 

Everyone knows I’ve never backed down from anybody. You line them up, and I knock them down like bowling pins. НаАвгуст 26, I’m knocking Conor out.

 

I am guaranteeing you this. You are going out on your face or on your back. So which way do you want to go?

 

Twenty one is the number. They ask me why is that the number? Because that’s how long I’ve been kicking ass. I don’t care about a ring or an octagon. Put me in there and I’m going to kick ass.

 

It takes two warriors to bring an event like this together. The two biggest forces in combat sports made this happen.

 

This was something that the fans wanted to see. I spoke to my team and said that the Mayweather-McGregor fight can be the biggest fight in history. That’s what we’re here to turn into reality.

 

McGregor is a professional, stand-up fighter. The only loss he took was when he was on the ground. He’s a tough competitor and I’m taking him very seriously.

 

Everyone knows I’ve been doing this for a long time. I’ve been here before. He’s a tough guy though and a warrior. The best must fight the best. The fans wanted this fight, me and McGregor wanted the fight. It’s going to be blood, sweat and tears onАвгуст 26.

 

Training camp has been rough. I know deep in my heart that this is the last one. I’m taking care of my body and giving myself time off to allow my body to rejuvenate.

 

Conor really wants to win. Extremely badly. Other fighters it usually plays out two ways. Some guys play it safe and then some like Marcos Maidana go for the kill. I think he’s the Maidana-type. He’s a heavy-hitter so I have to be cautious. It’s going to basically be a toe-to-toe battle.

 

CONOR MCGREGOR

 

My mind is blown. I’m absolutely honored to be here in front of you fans for this great spectacle. Somebody’s 0 has got to go.

 

He’s got little legs and little hands. I’m going to knock him out inside of four rounds. Mark my words.

 

“Аз съм млад, confident, happy man. I’ve worked extremely hard for this. I’m going to embrace everything. No one can do anything to me. I’m going to have a good time.

 

Floyd will be unconscious inside of four rounds. The power and ferociousness that I have, he’s never experienced it before. I don’t fear him.

 

Even if he catches one of my punches with his glove, it will still hurt him. I’m like nothing he’s ever seen before.

 

Twelve, three minute rounds is going to be a breeze for me. Not to take anything away from this sport, but I have no worries about going twelve rounds with Floyd.

 

Floyd is the perfect motivation for me to go in and conquer the supposedly unconquerable. What more motivation could you need? This pushes me on to do these record-breaking events.

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, Главен изпълнителен директор на Мейуедър Промоции

 

This is a great fight that the fans have demanded. That’s exactly what we’re going to give them on Август 26.

 

Floyd Mayweather is the undefeated, pound-for-pound king and The Best Ever. He’s here to give the fans what they wanted and that’s his huge event a memorable fight on Август 26.

 

Mayweather Promotions is all about giving the fans exactly what they want, and this battle between Floyd and Conor is going to deliver all of that and much more.

 

This is the can’t-miss event of the summer and this crowd at STAPLES Center proves just how big it’s going to be. This whole week we’ll be bringing all the excitement of a fight week to sold out venues throughout the world.

 

СТИВЪН Еспиноза, Executive VP & Генерален мениджър, Шоу Спорт

 

Over the last several years, SHOWTIME has teamed up with MGM and Mayweather Promotions to give fans the biggest and most exciting events in sports. Record-breaking event after record breaking event. We also have a long history of MMA in SHOWTIME and are glad to be in business with UFC and Conor McGregor.

 

We will be working to deliver this event to the fans in unprecedented ways. We will give you new ways to experience the preparation leading up to the fight and then fight night, like never before. We’ll bring you behind the scenes and up close and personal with the “All Access” серия. Your backstage pass to this fight premieres on Юли 28 на SHOWTIME.

 

They said this fight could never be made, they said this fight would never happen, but this fight is no surprise. 10 years ago Floyd decided to leave his promoter and become his own boss. He became his own boss and broke PPV record after PPV record. Here we are, 49-0, he’s fought 24 световни шампиони, and never lost. Floyd Mayweather has generated 20 million PPV buys and 1.3 billion dollars in PPVs. He is by far the number one attraction in sports and entertainment. There is no one else who is even close.

 

Am I surprised that this fight is happening? Especially against someone younger, bigger and stronger than he is. Изобщо. This is Floyd’s plan. To put on the most exciting and spectacular events that the sports world has ever seen. That’s whatАвгуст 26 ще бъде. That’s been the plan all along. ”

 

DANA WHITE, President of UFC

 

This is the biggest fight any of us have ever been a part of. People have just rallied behind this fight. Don’t judge a fight until the fight is over. You never know what’s going to happen, especially with a guy like Conor who hits like a truck. When he hurts someone, he puts them away.

 

This is a completely full event today, not a seat left. We had to move to a bigger venue in Toronto. Barclays Center sold out and then today tickets sold out at Wembley в 10 минути. There’s never been anything like this.

 

Floyd is almost 41 възраст. Conor is a young southpaw who hits hard. We’ll see how it plays out. It’s crazy to think that Conor won’t connect with him.

 

Conor McGregor believes in himself like nobody I’ve ever seen before. What he thinks about, he manifests into reality. The boxing media will get to know Conor on this tour and see the mental warfare that he engages in. Then on fight night, Conor is going to try to knock Floyd out.

 

RICHARD STORM, President of Sports and Entertainment, MGM Resorts International

Thank you to all the great fight fans around the globe watching this event. We’re thrilled that this event will be held at T-Mobile Arena, the home of the biggest events in the sports and entertainment industry. In only 15 months the T-Mobile Arena has become an industry leader and home to many of the greatest entertainers and athletes in the world.

 

Las Vegas and the T-Mobile Arena will be the center of the sports universe for this great spectacle when two great champions bring these two sports together for the first time. It’s going to be an absolutely electric weekend. We look forward to delivering an unforgettable experience to all the fans who travel from around the world to this great event.

Kazushi Sakuraba

John McCarthy

Мат Mitrione

Royce Gracie

Името Gracie е синоним на MMA, и това до голяма степен е от Ройс Грейси, човек, за когото се смята, че е изобретил спорта, какъвто го познаваме днес. Победителят от първите няколко UFC събития, Грейси ще разбият много опоненти в една-единствена нощ, много от които са били много по-голям от него. Дълги години нямаше отговор за техниката Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, която той вкара в битка. Днес, трудно е да се намери ММА боец, който да не е тренирал изкуството на бразилското джиу-джицу, което баща му е изобретил. През февруари на 2016, Грейси озаглави „Bellator 149“, събитие, което разби рекордите на зрителска аудитория на компанията, които остават непокътнати и до днес.

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

С невероятно резюме, подчертано от победи над четирима членове на легендарното семейство Грейси, включително Ройлер, Ренцо, Ryan, и Ройс Грейси, Сакураба е наследил прякора „Ловецът на Грейси“. Японският смесен военен художник е особено запомнен с първия си сблъсък с Ройс, a ninety-minute marathon that ended in a TKO (спиране на ъгъла) victory for Sakuraba nearly 17 Преди години. Gracie would later avenge his loss, earning a unanimous decision win over Sakuraba at “K-1 Dynamite USA!!" inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Сега, almost a decade later, the two legends meet again and Bellator MMA is giving you the chance to be there when it happens!

 

Мат Mitrione

Matt Mitrione originally took his talents to the football gridiron, signing as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants in 2002. After brief stints with the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione entered the MMA cage and hasn’t looked back since. The 14-time UFC veteran began his professional career with victories in his first five fights, four of which came by way of knockout. Known as one of the top finishers in the sport, 37-годишният родом от Индианаполис наскоро завърши кандидатурата си с бившия си работодател, вземане на решение за тестване на свободна агенция. Сега Митрионе ще се опита да повтори успеха, който е намерил през цялата си кариера, когато среща Fedor Emelianenko в Сан Хосе през февруари.

 

Wanderlei Silva

Бившата суперзвезда на UFC Вандерлей Силва също ще присъства на Януари 20, докато „The Axe Murderer“ се подготвя за дебюта си в Bellator MMA в дългоочакваната година от 2017. Човекът, който постоянно го призовава, откакто се присъедини към промоцията, ръководена от Скот Кокър, Chael Sonnen, ще се състезава в основното събитие на ‘Bellator 170’ само един ден след „Фестивал на феновете“. Ветеран от 48 битки, Силва се присъедини към ММА с Bellator след прочута кариера с UFC, пресяване през средно тежки електроцентрали Cung Le, Брайън Стан, и настоящ шампион в дивизията Майкъл Биспинг. С 25 на неговата 35 победи в кариерата, идващи чрез нокаут, 40-годишният бразилски хотшот е нетърпелив да направи присъствието си усетено в клетката на Bellator MMA. Присъединете се към нас за ‘Bellator 170’ “Fan Fest” в Лос Анджелис и се запознайте със самата легенда, преди да направи своя дебют в промоцията.

 

King Mo

„King Mo“ е опора на Bellator MMA оттогава 2013, борба с всички, както в полутежка, така и в тежка категория може да предложи. Това ще бъде втората поява на Lawal на събитието „Fan Fest“ на Bellator MMA, давайки на феновете още една възможност да се срещнат с експлозивния нападател извън клетката. След неотдавнашното му главно събитие победа над Satoshi Ishii, „Mo“ сега насочва вниманието си към други пристъпи на „Moneyweight“, за да засити жаждата си.

 

John McCarthy

Известен на мнозина като „Големия“ Джон Маккарти, дългогодишният ММА рефер ще насочи вниманието си към „Fan Fest“ на Bellator MMA и ще извика кадрите в един забавен ден с някои от най-големите фенове, които спортът може да предложи. Маккарти направи редица запомнящи се двубои, насърчавани от Bellator MMA, UFC и други, превръщайки се в един от най-известните съдии в историята на спорта.

Ringstar Sports Adds Amateur Star Money Powell IV to Growing Collection of Fighters Signed with Company

Лос Анджелис (Януари 10, 2017) – The rapidly-growing promotional company Обадете Star Sports has added another fighter with star potential to their growing roster, as super welterweight standout Money Powell IV has signed to join the company led by longtime boxing executive Richard Schaefer.
We’re excited to add a young man with the skills, amateur pedigree and demeanor of Money Powell IV and we think he’s going to be a great addition to the Ringstar family,” - каза Ричард Шефер, Председател и главен изпълнителен директор на Ringstar Sports. “This is an incredibly talented young man who is ambitious and has a great mindset heading into the professional ranks. He has proven to be a winner throughout his amateur career and we believe that his skills, combined with the right promotion, can turn him into a big star in the sport. I know that he wants to be the best and I plan on helping him reach those goals.
When I was presented with the opportunity to sign with Richard and Ringstar Sports, I knew that it was a chance to achieve my dreams,” said Powell IV. “Richard is one of the most successful figures in the sport and I know that with him, I can go far. I want to be the greatest fighter that’s ever lived, but I also want to be remembered as a positive figure. I hope someday I can do for other people what Richard is doing for me. I’m going to be a champion inside and outside of the ring.
The 18-year-old Powell IV was born in Germany, where his former boxer father was stationed in the military. He was passionate about boxing from an early age, but was never able to fully dedicate himself because his family moved back and forth between Germany and the U.S. frequently. В 2011 the family landed for good at Fort Mitchell, on the border of Alabama and Georgia, and Powell began training at the Game Bred Boxing Club and saw his amateur career take off.
His first tournament victory came in 2014 when he won the Junior Open Welterweight Championship and finished the year as the number one ranked welterweight by USA Boxing. He continued to add titles as he won the 2015 Ringside World Welterweight Championship and the 2016 Youth Welterweight National Championship to earn the top ranking in the 152-pound division by USA Boxing.
I’m a boxer-puncher but I’m also a big-time thinker in the ring,” said Powell IV. “I take my time and capitalize off of mistakes. I’ve been able to meet and work with my boxing idol, Roy Jones Jr., and he’s given me encouragement and advice that has meant the world to me. Mark my words, I will be the greatest fighter of all-time.
Powell IV will turn pro and campaign as a super welterweight after 83 аматьорски пристъпи, including recently participating in the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Russia.
