Mayweather Antaŭenigoj’ Badou Jack has made an exemplary statement for his career inside and outside of the ring and is focused on further strengthening his resume, while Marcus Browne is looking to showcase his talent on boxing’s biggest stage.

Jack (22-1-3, 13 KOs) has fought twice at light heavyweight since relinquishing his super middleweight world title to campaign at 175 Funtoj. The 35-year-old, who was born in Stockholm, Svedio, represented his father’s Gambia in the 2008 Olympics and now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the super middleweight world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the title three times before he relinquished the belt following a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 Funtoj, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against Adonis Stevenson in his last fight on May 19.

I’m looking forward to getting back onto another big stage to perform for my fans across the globe and prove I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said Jack. “I plan to show off my skills with a dominating performance on January 19. I always want to fight the best, and he’s the best that’s available right now. I’m always 100 percent ready and I’m going into this fight stronger, faster and with more experience than ever before.

The 28-year-old Browne (22-0, 16 KOs) will be taking a step up to face an elite opponent when he battles Jack. Membro de la 2012 Usono. Olympic boxing team, Browne moved up the contender ladder in the 175-pound division with brute force and power, scoring three straight knockout victories against Thomas Williams, Jr., Sean Monaghan and Francy Ntetu. Browne, who was born and raised in Staten Island, N.Y., scored a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo in his last fight on August 4.

This is really an honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to showcase my talents on a big time pay-per-view card featuring Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner,” Browne said. “Badou Jack is a championship-caliber fighter and one of the toughest guys you can fight in the light heavyweight division. I’m ready for the step up in competition and focused on being a household name in the sport sooner rather than later.

Warren (16-2, 4 KOs) is looking to return to the world championship ranks with a victory over Oubaali. The 31-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 Kaj 2012. His Olympic run came to an end against Oubaali when he lost a narrow 19-18 decision in the first round of the 2012 London Games. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision.

This fight means everything for me and it’s about to be the biggest moment of my career,” Warren said. “Not only am I fighting for the WBC belt, but it’s on pay-per-view. When I first won the title it was like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. After I lost the title, it made me much hungrier and I want to get it back even more. I fought this guy in the Olympics, so I’m fighting for revenge. This isn’t the Olympics. This is 12 rounds and I don’t think he’s fought anybody like me. I have no choice but to put it all on the line on January 19.

The 32-year-old Oubaali (14-0, 11 KOs), an unbeaten southpaw from Lens, Pas-de-Calais, Francio, has knocked out his last five opponents. His most recent KO of Luis Melendez on April 17 moved Oubaali up the ranks to position him for a world title shot. Oubaali, who is the sixth of 18 children born in France to parents who are from Morocco, twice represented France at the Olympics, qualifying in 2008 Kaj 2012 when he defeated Warren.

Many people are waiting for this fight because it’s the second time we meet,” said Oubaali.I beat Rau’shee Warren at the 2012 London Games in a great battle. In the meantime, Rau’shee captured a world championship and lost it. Nun, I’m the WBC No. 1 ranked bantamweight fighter in the world. It will be a great fight in Las Vegas on January 19 and I intend to beat Rau’shee again to become the new WBC world champion.

The 25-year-old Tepora (22-0, 17 KOs) has steadily risen up the ranks since turning pro in 2012 and most recently captured the WBA interim featherweight crown with a ninth-round stoppage of Edivaldo Ortega in July. Representing Cebu City, Filipinoj, Tepora enters his U.S. debut on January 19 with stoppage wins in 11 De lia lasta 12 konkursoj.

It has always been a dream to fight in the United States,” said Tepora. “I never dreamed that my first fight in the U.S. would be on a card with Senator Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner. I look forward to a tremendous fight on January 19 and defending my title versus former world champion Hugo Ruiz. As you all know the best rivalry in boxing is Filipino vs. Mexican. It’s going to be a great fight.

Fighting out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Meksiko, Ruiz (38-4, 33 KOs) will make his featherweight debut on January 19 after picking up two victories in 2018. The 30-year-old won a super bantamweight world title with a first round stoppage of Julio Ceja in 2016, avenging his previous loss to Ceja in one of 2015’s most exciting fights. He now seeks to position himself for a world title at 126 pounds with a victory against Tepora.

I expect it to be a good fight because Tepora is undefeated and a good Filipino champion,” said Ruiz. “But I’m ready. I don’t think he can handle my power. I?? Iranta frapi lin ekstere. I want to do my best to win the title. I’ve been watching videos of him and I’ve been training hard. I’m really focused on how to beat him. I’m still young, but I’ve got the experience to handle him in this fight.

Here are what the fighters and executives had to say on Tuesday.

MANNY PACQUIAO:

“This fight is going to be a good fight. I have to pass through him before fighting Floyd Mayweather. I want to prove to the boxing fans that Manny Pacquiao is still in the pack. You will see more fights with Manny Pacquiao here in the United States.

“He’s young and he’s fast – and he’s fast with his mouth. There will be more action in the ring – we know what the people want. It’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a fight you will never forget.

“I continue my career as a boxer because boxing is my passion. When I hung up my gloves once, I felt sad not being in the ring and giving inspiration to people in the Philippines and boxing fans.”

On potentially fighting Floyd Mayweather again:

“I don’t think Adrien will agree with that, because I need to pass through him. This is not an easy fight.”

On working with Al Haymon:

“I have only good things to say about Top Rank – they helped me a lot. But I’m really thankful to be partnered with Al Haymon and have a chance to work with him.”

?[Broner’s] a funny guy. I think after his boxing career, he could have another career as a comedian. I don’t get upset about the jokes. I can’t help but laugh when I look at his face.”

Will the Mayweather rematch be next?

“I can’t give you an answer, but if you ask me, it would be good for me to have that fight.”

ADRIEN BRONER:

“January 19, I am coming to win. Screw the money, I’m going to be victorious. They keep talking about a Pacquiao-Mayweather 2, but I’m going to mess those plans up. I just don’t see Manny Pacquiao beating me.

“He’s still in great condition. He’s trained his ass off. I have to keep my composure and stay focused on my game plan. But I’m not going to tell you what that plan is.

“Hope isn’t my strategy – there will be no luck. I feel like he can’t beat me. Look at my resume – what do I do to southpaws? I stop them. Going into this fight, I’m very confident. I’m going to do what I always do to southpaws and dismantle him.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & eventon Programado, Showtime Retoj Inc.

“These two fighters have resumes that you’re all familiar with. On the surface they seem very different, but they’re more similar than you’d think.

“They’re two of the most entertaining and popular fighters in the sport. They are also two fighters who are all heart. We’ve seen them in tough fights, and there’s one thing you know you’re going to get out of Manny Pacquiao and AB, and that’s 100 percent effort throughout the fight.

“When Adrien Broner and Manny Pacquiao fight, it’s a huge event. Add in Mayweather Promotions and MGM Grand and Las Vegas, and it’s one of the biggest fights of the year. There’s a lot at stake – this will be an all action fight. It will be a special weekend, and we can’t wait.”

JOE RAMOS, Head of MP Promotions

“We all know Adrien is hungry, but he’s fighting boxing’s only eight-division champion. Manny will show the world that he’s the best fighter on the planet come January 19. Don’t miss a chance to be part of history.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO de Mayweather #Anta?enigo

“We know we have a great fight come Jan. 19. You’ll see a future Hall of Famer in Manny Pacquiao, and a guy in Adrien Broner who has never backed down from a challenge. He knows he has to be at his best to beat Manny Pacquiao. The style matchup with these two guys is very intriguing. I promise you this will be a great fight.”

RAVONE LITTLEJOHN, Co-Head of About Billions Promotions

“It’s going to be a great fight. If my man AB hits the right shot, it could be a short night. We’ve never been down for the count, and we’re not going to start now. We know the position we’re in. It’s a pleasure to fight a legend like Manny Pacquiao.”

RICHARD STRUM, President of Las Vegas Live Entertainment and Sports

“This fight kicks off another tremendous year of entertainment for MGM. I’d like to welcome Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s most iconic fighters, back to MGM Grand and Las Vegas.”

MANNY PACQUIAO:

 

 

“I just want to prove that I’m still in boxing and my journey in boxing is continuing. I want to entertain people and give a good show on January 19. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to see this great and prestigious fight in the ring with Adrien Broner. I know my opponent is fast and a top caliber fighter, he’s good and we have to work hard and train hard for this fight so the people will be happy. We will give a good fight for the fans.

 

 

 

“I chose Broner because we can have a good fight and entertain the fans. Adrien is a top caliber fighter and a good boxer. We cannot underestimate him.

 

 

 

“When I met up with Floyd [Mayweather] En Japanio, we talked and he said he wants to come out of retirement to challenge me. All I know is fighting in the ring and entertaining people. That’s my job. Floyd has come out of retirement and we’ll see after this fight, but we cannot underestimate Broner and this fight. We will discuss anything with Floyd Mayweather after that.

 

 

 

“I can fight at 140 pounds or 147 pounds and I want to fight the biggest fighters in the world and one of those is Adrien Broner. I can fight anybody.

 

 

“I expect more action in the ring, that’s what we want. We don’t talk too much outside the ring but we will do it in the ring.

 

 

“Jes, I still have the [knock out] potenco. In fact, I have learned how to develop that and by the grace of god, who has given me this power and with hard work and training, that technique is my weapon for this fight.

 

 

 

“I have already accomplished my dream and what I want to accomplish in this sport. I just want to continue in the top of boxing and give honor to my country.”

 

ADRIEN BRONER:

 

 

“I’m real thankful hearing that he was coming over to PBC, ‘Pacquiao’s Broner Crisis’. I’m happy – there are a lot of people that wanted this fight and god blessed me to get it. I guess I’m just the chosen one. What can I say about Pacquiao, he’s a future Hall of Famer.

 

 

 

“I had to call my momma after I looked in the mirror this morning. I had to let her know she has a beautiful son. We finally made it to pay-per-view at 29. I’m the only African-American do to that.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a hell of a fight. I’m not coming to just pick up a check. I know when I win this fight, there’s more money to come.

 

 

 

“Ĉi tiu batalo multe signifas por mi. A win and I turn legend overnight. I got the whole hood with me just like he has the whole Philippines with him. I don’t even know how to spell that. But I have the whole hood with me: H-O-O-D.

 

 

“Of course I consider Manny one of the elite fighters at 147. The things he’s done in this game are unbelievable. I talk trash, I play but I know on January 19 I have to be on top of my game. This is his break-out fight to be on the A-side. I know he isn’t trying to look bad. But I’m here to knock him out. I feel like a bum trying to fight for a sandwich.

 

 

 

“I’m not worried about what Manny does. He has to worry about what I’m doing. I have three losses and he has eight. But he has been knocked out three times so we know he can go to sleep. He doesn’t need Nyquil for that, and I have the power to do it. He better be on his p’s and q’s because I’m trying to knock him out.

 

 

 

“If the knockout comes, it comes. I’m just focused on my win. I’m trying to win in good fashion. I’m going to train my ass off and give it my all.

 

 

 

“This fight is very important from a business standpoint and for About Billions. A lot of young fighters want to work with me and I have to show them the way. As a leader, if I win this fight it gives them something to brag about. I’m not only fighting for me, I’m fighting for my family and my kids. It’s the longevity, it’s for after boxing. I have a chance to set myself up so that my kids’ kids can live comfortably.

 

 

 

“We’re boxers. We’re not afraid of nobody. We bleed the same, we walk the same, we put our pants on one at a time. There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m trying to knock this guy out. I might laugh, I might play around but I’m trying to get him out of here.

 

 

 

“Every fighter is different. I don’t compare fighters to each other. Every fighter has their good habits and their bad habits. #?Iu proksimume, he’s a great fighter. He’s done something that nobody has ever done in the sport but it’s time to turn over a new leaf. Adrien Broner will be the biggest name in boxing.

 

 

 

“I feel good at any weight. Mi sentas fortan. I will let everything show January 19. It’s going to be a hell of a fight. I just want to beat the man in great fashion. It’s nothing personal, it’s just for me so I can wake up and say I beat Manny Pacquiao.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & eventon Programado, Showtime Retoj Inc.

“SHOWTIME is thrilled to be hosting this press conference and to be bringing this matchup of two must-see fighters – there is a very short list of must-see attractions, and of course these two active fighters are on the top of the list.

 

 

 

“Boxing’s only eight-division world champion taking on the youngest boxer ever to be a four-division world champion. We would like to welcome Manny Pacquiao back to SHOWTIME, back to the U.S. as this is his first fight in the U.S. en du jaroj. These two are perennial draws at the box office, ratings, and in the streets. Two of the most well-known, widely recognized boxers in the sport of boxing. Two of the most athletically gifted fighters in the sport – power, rapido, quickness, they have it all.

 

 

 

“At this point, odds makers have favored Pacquiao. That’s understandable because he is a Hall of Famer with a Hall of Fame resume. But it would be a mistake to overlook Broner in this fight. Broner never backs down from a challenge. As long as I’ve known him and worked with him he’s never turned down a fight, not against bigger opponents like Shawn Porter, not against big punchers like Marcos Maidana, not against the guys that no one wants to fight. Broner gives them tough fights: 12 rounds against Porter, 12 grueling rounds against Maidana. So for those of you that think this is an easy fight, or easy bet because of the odds, think again. These are two of the most talented fighters of this generation, two of the most athletically gifted fighters of this generation. I guarantee this fight will be a must-see attraction.”

 

JOE RAMOS, Head of MP Promotions

 

 

“This is a fight that we’ve been trying to make for several years. Our new partnership with the great Al Haymon and the PBC has finally made this possible. I’d like to thank Al and his team for making this happen. I’d like to acknowledge our new partners in this fight, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions, our broadcast partner SHOWTIME and Manny’s home away from home, the MGM Grand. To Team Broner, thanks for stepping up to the plate. I hope you have a great training camp and I wish you all the best. To Senator Manny, thank you for giving all your fans this opportunity to showcase your greatness and show you are still the best fighter in the world.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO de Mayweather #Anta?enigo

 

 

“This is a huge fight. I can’t say enough about what I personally think will be the biggest fight of 2019. You have Manny Pacquiao, a future Hall of Famer, who’s fought everybody in this era against Adrien Broner, one of the most exciting fighters in the sport. He’s the biggest attraction with the biggest ratings and never shy about the cameras. This will be a great promotion. We expect the fans across the world to tune in to this great event. Will Manny Pacquiao be able to use his plethora of experience to defeat a young Adrien Broner whose still in the prime of his career? Or will Adrien Broner be able to utilize his outstanding speed and his skillset to defeat the legendary Hall of Famer, Manny Pacquiao? Tune in, SHOWTIME PPV on January 19.”

 

RAVONE LITTLEJOHN, Co-Head of About Billions Promotions

 

 

“This is the biggest fight that we’ve been involved with, so I would like to thank everybody involved. Adrien knows what he needs to do. I’ve been with him since we were 18-years-old and we’ve been through a lot. I’ve never seen him back down from anything and anybody who’s watched him fight knows that. We look forward to bringing it and we’re going to bring it. I’m very happy to be in this position and we’re going to go far.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say:

FLOYD MAYWEATHER, President of Mayweather Promotions

Mayweather Promotions has always done record-breaking numbers and our ultimate goal is to find the next Floyd Mayweather. With all of the talent out there, it will soon happen.

I want all of the fighters out there to keep working hard, stay focused and know that there is no limit to what you can do.

With all the media here talking to him, it’s obvious that Adrien is doing something right. He’s entertaining and people like it.

There’s no limit to how far Adrien Broner can go in this sport. He can fight. I’m in the gym with him and he’s boxing top guys. He’s pushing himself.

Shawn Porter is a really solid competitor. It’s not an easy task for Adrien, he’s going to have to fight.

Mayweather Promotions wants to continue to work with all fighters and help build their careers so that they can get to that top level.

ADRIEN BRONER

This is the AB show. You’re all getting it first, live and personal.

I’m fighting Shawn Porter and I’m fighting his dad. It’s like I’m fighting his dad because the check comes in his dad’s name, then he pays Shawn.

Since both Shawn and his dad get a check, if I whoop both of them, will I get paid twice?

I like Shawn as a person, but he gets so much negative energy from his dad. That’s just the truth.

After I whoop you Shawn, come sign with About Billions and I’ll buy you a nicer car than your dad’s. I already wrote out the contract.

“Ĉi tuj estos granda lukto. I’m very excited because I love putting on a show for the fans. This boy will not beat me.

I’m coming to deliver a beat down. Shawn Porter is a football player, I’m going to take him out. It’s going to be fun.

SHAWN PORTER

“Mi sentas grandan, it’s a good day. I’m just counting down until fight night.

I’ve been working on everything in camp. I have a lot of speed, potenco, quickness and the whole nine. It’s going to take everything to win this fight.

He’s got good speed, so we’re preparing for him to use a lot of that. We’ll make adjustments as we go along but the key is definitely taking care of his speed with our speed.

It’s so sweet to be fighting at MGM Grand, this is what you want as a fighter. It’s my time now. I’m so excited about this opportunity.

Number one, we have to take care of business. We know that if we take care of business it’ll be a great Father’s Day Dimanĉe.”

ERROL SPENCE JR.

I just have to stay focused and put on a spectacular performance Sabate Nokto. Hopefully next time I’ll be the main event. It’s a process but I’m getting there.

I’m ready for anybody in the welterweight division, I’m ready for any kind of step up in competition period. I’m not the guy to shy away from anybody.

Porter and Broner are a little more seasoned that me, but skill wise I think I’m right on par with them. Skill for skill I can match anybody in boxing.

A lot of guys aren’t in the position that I’m in to get the opportunities that I have. This is my third year as a pro and it’s all been coming pretty fast. It’s all about timing. I’m enjoying the process.

You’re going to be looking at the future of the sport come Sabato Nokto.”

PHIL LO GRECO

There’s no such thing as the right moment. The perfect fight is when you want it to be. I got the call and decided that this is the perfect timing.

It took me about 30 seconds to decide to take this fight. When you know why you fight, it makes these decisions easy.

A year ago there was no way I thought I’d be on this stage. Now I have real opportunities and we’re here now.

Win, perdi aŭ desegni, I’m going back to the gym next week.

I’m a pressure fighter. I like to engage and give the fans what they want to see. This is a great opportunity. Sabato is going to be fun.

RANCES BARTHELEMY

I’m feeling good moving up in weight. Everybody knows Antonio DeMarco is a very, very tough fighter. He’s one of the best I’ve ever fought. His record who he has faced proves that. He’s experienced, sed tiel mi.

I want to be the best Cuban fighter of all-time and I’m on my way.

I’m in tremendous shape and I’m ready to go. I want to showcase my skills Dimanĉe to show the world how I can fight.

Who do I want to fight? I’ll fight anyone they put in my way. I’ll fight Godzilla if he’s there.

I don’t do predictions but this is going to be an entertaining fight. Unlike past Cuban fighters, I have power and can knock people out. In the amateurs you don’t need power. But in the pros, that’s what it’s all about.

ANTONIO DeMarco

This is going to be a tough fight, a difficult fight, but I have a great responsibility. My 15-year-old sister told me that if I win, she will beat cancer. She was diagnosed with bone cancer last Novemberand it was life-threatening. But her last chemo treatment was yesterday.

From a ring standpoint, I am really looking forward to #Diman?o. I am very prepared, I am relaxed and ready to go. Besides for my sister, my other main motivation is that this is a chance to get my career back on track. A victory and I can get back to where I was and in position to challenge the best.

I am treating it like another fight, but of course it is much more. Exposure-wise, you can’t get better than network television.

I know Rances is going to be a difficult opponent. Li estas granda batalanto. But I have the experience to come up with a game plan to win. From a career-standpoint, this is a very important fight and I’m ready for it.

SAMMY VASQUEZ

It’s an honor to be here in this building among some of the greatest fighters in the world. Omotoso has never fought anyone like me before.

I’m here to restore the greatness of Pittsburgh boxing. Everyone knows ‘The Pittsburgh Kid’, Paul Spadafora, but we all carry the torch differently. I respect him as a fighter and he’s done some great things. We were raised differently and I’m amazed at the great things he’s accomplished. But I’m here to bring a new look to Pittsburgh boxing.

Omotoso is tough. His record speaks for itself at 25-1. His only loss was to Jessie Vargas who’s fighting for a world title. Mi surmetas’t prenas iun ajn malpeze. I’ve trained hard for this and I don’t think he’s fought anyone as fast as me or hits as hard as me with both hands.

I’m going to throw a lot of punches and it should be fun to see. It will be an entertaining fight. The main goal is to win. If the opportunity presents itself to knock him out then I will. I’m not going to go in there trying to knock his head off or anything. I have to box smart.

In this game it’s all about longevity and the less you get hit the longer you can fight so I don’t want to get hit. KE’s mia celo.”

WALE OMOTOSO

I feel blessed to have the opportunity to fight on such a big stage. Fighting on network TV provides all of us such a lift. Getting this kind of national exposure is what fighters like me need and what we work so hard to get.

I’m totally ready to take advantage and I look forward to being able to showcase my talents Dimanĉe. All my friends and countrymen are going to be able to watch it, and I don’t want to let them down.

I really don’t know much about Vasquez, other than he’s a southpaw whose quick, he is just another fighter who can fight. But we can all fight. It’s not like he has four hands and two heads.

The best man will be victorious and I am confident that is me.

“Mi ne povas atendi #Diman?o. I wish it was time to fight right now. This is going to be my Father’s Day present to my kids and wife.

Here are what the workout participants had to say:

 

FLOYD MAYWEATHER, President of Mayweather Promotions

 

You’ve got two guys this weekend in Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter who have the right teams around them. If they continue to win and we bring their personality out of them, we’ll see what happens.

 

Shawn Porter has been a champion before. He only has one loss and Adrien only has one loss. So I think this is a good matchup.

 

When I was getting ready for Robert Guerrero, who is a southpaw, the first guy I started looking to spar with was a southpaw and Errol (Spence Jr.) was giving me real good work.He pushed me and made me get in tip top condition, and once I was in tip top condition, I was ready and the best I could be. He’s a hell of a fighter.

 

ADRIEN BRONER

 

Porter can’t beat me, it’s not going to happen.

 

I will not be the next Floyd Mayweather. I will be the first and only Adrien Broner.

 

I don’t know why I would be terrified of Porter. I’m not terrified of anything. He can talk, it’s all okay.

 

I’m going to give my dad a great Father’s Day present this weekend when I get that victory Sabato Nokto.

 

Everyone has to tune-in to see AB on NBC, it’s going to be a show just like every time I step into the ring.

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

“Mi sentas grandan. My weight is great and that’s all that matters. That’s the first small battle and the next battle will come Sabate Nokto.

 

I think Broner thought that if he gets me drained it would be a problem for me, but it’s not going to be. That’s not the Porter way. We’ve done everything right to this point.

 

Broner keeps saying that he hopes I’m ready to bring it, but I don’t really understand what he means because everyone knows I’m ready and everyone knows I always bring it. You don’t have to ask that of Shawn Porter.

 

He’s a talker, he likes to run his mouth but it’s all good. We’re just going to do our thing Sabate Nokto.

 

This is going to be a good one. Certainly a crowd pleaser. Old or new to boxing, this is going to be good for you. Broner has skills, but I have skills too. It’s going to be a magnificent fight Sabate Nokto.”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

It’s been training camp as usual for us. We didn’t really do anything different, it was a little more intense but all the same things we do.

 

I’m just ready to fight. I want to weigh-in, get some food in my stomach and get in that ring. I’m on weight already, it’s been a long, eight-week training camp so we’re 100 procento preta.

 

I’m a boxer-puncher. I can come forward or I can box. I’m always looking for the knockout and I’m always bringing exciting fights.

 

Fighting on NBC, on my biggest card to date, it’s really big for me and I have to perform so that I can get back on NBC and be the main event next time.

 

RANCES BARTHELEMY

 

I know DeMarco will be prepared and he’ll put a lot of pressure like Mexican fighters do. That’s the only way that he has a chance. We have a plan for how we’re going to fight.

 

Moving to Las Vegas has made me more relaxed and comfortable. Now that I’m married and have my daughter, it’s been even more peaceful. I’m preta iri.

 

Being on CBS where everybody in the U.S. can see me, it gives me even more inspiration. People will know who I am after this fight.

 

ANTONIO DeMarco

 

I’m coming in ready to box, brawl or whatever it will take to get the victory Dimanĉe.

 

I know my opponent is undefeated but he has not fought the same guys I have. My experience is better and it will show in the ring.

 

We had a great training camp, all the hard work is done. It’s about going out Dimanĉeand putting on a show for everyone to see.

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ

 

This was probably the best sparring camp I’ve ever had. It was a little longer than I’m used toabout eight weeksand we had some great sparring partners. I’m more ready than ever.

 

The guys that Omotoso’s faced, he’s knocked out, so he’s been doing his job. He’s a power hitter so I know I can’t take him lightly. He dropped Jessie Vargas, but he’s not as quick of a fighter as I am.

 

“Li povas diri kion li volas, but he’s not going to knock me out. That’s what he’s supposed to say. Everything changes when you step into the ring. He’s going to find out pretty quickly that he hasn’t faced anyone like me.

 

My game plan is to beat him and if I see the opportunity to knock him out then I will take it.

 

I’m fighting for all my fans back in Pittsburgh, all my brothers and sister in the Armed Forces. I’ll be carrying them on my back as I enter the ring #?I tiu #diman?o.”

 

WALE OMOTOSO

 

I’ve seen a few of Sammy’s fights. I think he has speed, but that’s the only thing that I see. I don’t think he has the power to knock me out.

 

I’ve faced the tougher guys than him. In my last fight I floored Jessie Vargas, and I think Jessie is quicker than him.

 

It doesn’t matter how quick he is, he’ll bring out the best in me.

 

When I see a challenge I like to face it. I’m going to knock him out.

FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND FIGHTS REPRESENT SPIRIT OF HOLIDAY

FIGHTERS FEATURED ON SATURDAY’S PBC ON NBC & SUNDAY’S PBC ON CBS CARDS REFLECT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF FATHERHOOD

 

LASa VEGAS (Junio 17, 2015) – Boxing’s storied history of close familial relationships will come to life this Father’s Day Weekend as Premier Boxing Champions returns to NBC onJunio 20 and CBS on Junio 21 live from MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fighters featured on both of these stacked cards have close relationships with their own fathers, are fathers themselves or have found a father figure in the boxing gym.

 

Cetere, fans of the sweet science are often born into a longstanding love for the sport that is passed on from generation to generation as fathers share the tradition of watching boxing at home with their families. As Premier Boxing Champions continues to bring great action to network television, this Father’s Day Weekend of back-to-back fight cards is another opportunity for fathers to continue to pass this tradition along.

 

Sabate, Adrien “La Problemo” Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) Kaj “Showtime” Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs) will face off in a fiercely competitive 12-round matchup. #Anka? sur la karto, La undefeated Errol “La Vero” Spence Jr. (16-0, 13 KOs) puts his record on the line against hard-hitting veteran Roberto “La Amenaza” Garcia (37-3, 23 KOs) in the biggest challenge of his young career. The PBC on NBC action begins at 8:30 P.M. ET/5:30 P.M. PT

 

Former world champions Rances Barthelemy (22-0, 13 KOs) Kaj Antonio DeMarco(31-4-1, 23 KOs) headline the Superegaj Boksaj #?ampiono Sur CBS card on Father’s Day, #Diman?o, Junio 21 live beginning at 4 P.M. ET/1 P.M. PT. Also featured in a televised bout is an explosive welterweight matchup that pits the undefeated Sammy Vasquez (18-0, 13 KOs) against Nigerian knockout artist Wale Omotoso (25-1, 21 KOs).

 

From the legendary duo of Floyd Mayweather, co-promoter of this weekend’s PBC fight cards, and his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. to other famed father-son teams such asJulio Cesar Chavez Sr. Kaj Julio Jr. Kaj Don Kaj Félix “Tito” Trinidado, the importance of fatherhood is as prevalent in the sweet science now as it has always been, as evidenced by the thoughts and comments stated below from this weekend’s featured fighters.

 

ADRIEN BRONER

 

My dad ‘Popswas the first person to take me to the boxing gym and that is where we met Coach Mike [Stafford]. My dad just knew that he wanted me to box and he took me to the right place.

 

Everyone calls my dad ‘Popsbecause he’s like a dad to everyone around memy friends, fighters in the gym…#?Iu. He’s always been there 100 percent of the time.

 

Me and my dad are both a little crazy. We are similar people. We are both cut from a different cloth, we like to have fun and work hard. We mesh.

 

My dad usually comes to camp the last two weeks, so he is at the gym everyday leading up to the fights. When he’s not with me in the gym, he is working on cars as a mechanic in Cincinnati.

 

“[On being a father] I love being with my kids. I like to do fun things with them and give them more than I had as a kid. I love when they come to the gym and come to my fights.

 

When my youngest Adrieon was born, I was there every step of the way and now this Father’s Day is going to be even better when I win.

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

My dad has always been there from sports to school and has helped me through all of it. He is an anomaly because he was always there as a single father. You don’t really find that too much in the African American communitya single dad that wants to be there for his children the way my dad has been there for me and my brother.

 

Every day is kind of like Father’s Day for us. I want to make this one very memorable and it is the first of many to come. But obviously #Diman?o will be much better if I win.

 

I feel like I make his day everyday. It’s him and I. Its what we do. You have your good days and bad days. For me being a son and an athlete team, it makes me want to perform on a different level.

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

My dad got me started in boxing. He was a truck driver, so he used to drive overnight, and then he’ll get home 12:00 P.M. or later then take me to the gym. Then after that he’d come from the gym, ĝi estis kvazaŭ 5:00 #A? 6:00 P.M., and he would rest for one or two hours and go straight to work.

 

At the time, I didn’t really think about it, but as I got older and a little bit wiser, realizing all the sacrifices that he sacrificed for me to be able to box and go to all these national tournaments and all these tournaments out of state and stuff. He had to pay for the hotel, pay for food and stuff like that out of pocket. We didn’t have any sponsors and stuff like that.

I am proud to be named after my dad and I thank him for believing in me and pushing me to be the best I can be.

 

He plays a big part of my boxing career. He’s my supporter. That’s my mentor. That’s like my best friend. For Father’s Day, I’m going to get him a win, and it’s going to be an impressive win that he’ll be proud of and he’ll love. He played a big part in my career. Without him, I know I wouldn’t be boxing. My dad will be in my corner Sabato Nokto.”

 

RANCES BARTHELEMY

 

Father’s Day is very special to me because my wife and daughter, who are my world, treat me like a king for the day. Being a father is very important, and in today’s society, not enough fathers are there for their children. It’s great that there is a day to honor the good fathers that take care of their families.

 

“Mia patro, Emilio Barthelemy, was always there for me and my brothers. He got us into the sport of boxing. When I left Cuba it was very difficult for me because me and my dad were very close. I love him very much and I want to wish him a happy Father’s Day as well.

 

I remember when we were little, me and my brothers would take my father out to breakfast on Father’s Day. It was a very special time and we all enjoyed the moment. My wife and daughter love to spoil me on Father’s Day. Last year they took me to my favorite Cuban restaurant and I enjoyed a wonderful meal with both of them.

SAMMY VASQUEZ

 

Being a father of three girls and having such a strong relationship with my Dad makes

Father’s Day one of the biggest holidays for me.

 

My father has been with me every step of the way supporting my career from

selling tickets in Pittsburgh, to being with me at every fight and serving as one of my

administrantoj. It’s great to have him alongside me, it would be special to win this fight

on Father’s Day for him.

 

It’s tough having to be away from my daughter’s Dimanĉe but we’ll celebrate on

Lundo when I get back home and have our Father’s Day then.

 

WALE OMOTOSO

 

I am so proud to have two boys [ages 5 Kaj 2] with my wife. We have lived in Los Angeles for four years and we have a very happy life together there.

 

My wife’s parents came to LA from Australia so they can watch the kids this weekend when I fight and my wife can come and cheer me on.

 

My father died right before I turned pro and moved to Australia from Nigeria. I got an opportunity to move away from Africa and I took it. He would be proud.

 

My trainer Eric Brown is like a father to me now. He knows my wife and kids. We walk all the time. He tells me to keep my head on straight and focus.

 

I’m going to win Dimanĉe. That is going to be my Father’s Day present for my kids too. I’m going to win this fight for them. It is the best Father’s Day present I can givegiving them a reason to be proud of their dad.

EKSA WBC SUPERPEZULA #?AMPIONO BERMANE STIVERNE, HALL FAME PROMOTER DON KING, VENANTA DONO-CASO REKONTRAS LA MEDION por DISKUTI LA KONDITON DE Boksisto, FUTURO Sekvanta Lian Perdon al Dona Morto SATURDAY Nokte

 

Gazetaraj Konferencoj; Lundo, Jan. 19, #?E MGM Granda

LASa VEGAS (Jan. 19, 2015) ?? Du noktoj post kiam estanta hospitalized sekvanta lian perdon al unbeaten kontestanto Deontay Pli #Sova?a Sur SHOWTIME? De la MGM Granda #?ardeno Areno, iama WBC-pezegulo Bermane Stiverne, Lia Halo de Fama varbanto, @Don King, Kaj lia trejnisto, @Don House, Gastigis gazetaran konferencon malfrue #hodia? #?e la MGM Granda.

 

#?I tie?? Kio ili devis diri:

 

VARBANTO @DON KING

 

??E vokis #?i tiu gazetaran konferencon #?ar la Bermane ni vidis Sabate Nokto ne estis la Bermane ni #?iu scias. Deontay Pli #Sova?a faris tre bona laborposteno; #Tio ?i ne estas gazetara konferenco por senkulpigoj, ?i estas por fakto. La doktoroj #?e la hospitalo de la UMC diris ke li havis severan kazon de #senakvi?o. Liaj muskoloj ne estis laborantaj kaj ili pensis lin havis sangon en lia urino, Do ili prenis kelkajn testojn kaj tenis lin en la hospitalo #?is #?i tiu mateno.

??E deziras #apla?di Deontay Pli #Sova?a por faranta lian laborpostenon, Sed la viro #anta? li estis hadikapata kaj nekapabla fari lian laborpostenon, Sed ke ne devus preni ion ajn for de lia venko. Deontay elfarita kaj faris grandan laborpostenon. ?i estas #beda?rinda, Sed Bermane volas devi fari ?in alia tago. Scianta la #?ampiono ni havas en Deontay havas tiel eloquently deklarita ke li prenos sur iu ajn, Mi estas certa sen ajna equivocation li donus rematch kun la vera Bermane ol la viro kiu estis hadikapata en la ringo, Ne forprenanta la venko li havis kaj la vojo li brilis.

??E #la?do Deontay kaj espero li povas esti senegala longa #sufi?a al kie ni povas havi rematch de la ??Eturn al Gloro.?

??Ust kiel nia granda militistaro, Kiam ili akiras frapita malsupren, Ili revenas supre denove. #E? kun lia severa #senakvi?o Bermane #ankora? starita tie por 12 Rondoj.

??E deziras dankoni Richard Sturm, Prezidanto de MGM Granda distro kaj Stephen Espinoza kun SHOWTIME Bokso por ludanta gravan parton en akiranta #?i tiu programon kune. Ni #apla?di #amba? nian personaron kaj la MGMan personaron por faranta #la?dinda laborpostenon por faranta #tio ?i okazas. La spirito por ??Eturn al Gloro?? Estis alta. Ni havis grandan karton kun Amir Imam en la batalo de la nokto, Akiranta frapita malsupren kaj revenanta supre. #?Iu de la bataloj estis esceptaj. ?i estis bona nokto boksi por la fervoruloj kaj ke estas kio ni estas vere proksimume.

??Sur Domo do eloquently deklaris la sanon de Bermane estas tiel grava do kiam mi eltrovis lin estis en la hospitalo, Mi iris resti la tagon tie kun li #?ar kutime ni nur sendas ilin al la hospitalo akiri kontrolita, Sed ili decidis teni lin. Kiam ili decidis teni lin, Mi devis akiri tie kaj vidi mian batalanton. La personaro estis grandega kaj tre kompleza al mi kaj tre definitiva pri kio povus esti #mal?usta kaj prienketanta #?iuj flankoj. Ili diris lin estas sana kaj devus eltiri monaton #a? sekve akiri iun ripozon kaj tiam akiri labori prepari por lia reveno al gloro kaj rekapti la superpezulan kronon kiu estas nuntempe tenita de granda #?ampiono nomis Deontay Pli #Sova?a.?

BERMANE STIVERNE

 

?? Deziras pardonpeti por ne faranta la #po?to-batala gazetaro konferenco. #Beda?rinde mi ne estis kapabla elfari en la batalo #?ati min deziris al pro severa #senakvi?o kaj muskola difekto. Mi ne sciis ?in estis ke grava #?is ili diris min. Mi povis morti de ?i. Mi estas #feli?a nur esti mi mem, marŝu kaj parolu denove. Dankon al Dio pro ĉi tio, Tio?? Vere kio gravas al mi esti sana rajto nun.

?? Ne sciis la severecon de ?i Sabato Nokto. Mi estis kapabla doni la homojn bona rezulto, 12 Rondoj de bokso. Se mi devis faras ?in denove mi farus ?in denove. #Tio ?i ne estas la fino por mi. Mi donos ?in paraj semajnoj kaj tiam reveni labori. Mi havas vizion por #tio ?i, Sed #?uste nun ?i?? Nur sur #pa?zo. ?i?? Nur afero de tempo #anta? ol mi revenos sur miaj piedoj kaj piediro denove. Kiam ?i venas al mia sano, Mi estis liberigita de la hospitalo. Ili ne lasus min lasi #?is mi estis #sufi?e hydrated. Mi estas dankema. Dankoni vin al mia varbanto kaj trejnisto, #?Iu kiu bonvenigis min.

??O miaj fervoruloj, Mi pardonpetas por ne estanta kapabla elfari kiel Bermane kutime faras. Mi scias ke homoj kiu vere scias min, Scii kiel min batalas. Mia lasta batalo kun Chris Arreola, Mi donis vin bona rezulto. ?i estas #beda?rinda ke mi couldn?? Fari kion mi deziris fari kun mia batalo kun Deontay Pli #Sova?a. Mi deziras gratuli lin, Li batalis bonan batalon. Espereble ie en la estonteco ni renkontos denove.

??Fadenbuloj #?iu por eliranta al la gazetara konferenco, Mi estas reen sur miaj piedoj 100 Procente #?uste nun. Mi nur devas paron de semajnoj #a? monato de ripozo esti reen kie mi lasis ekstere.?

@DON HOUSE, Stiverne?? Trejnisto

??Fadenbulo vi uloj por eliranta. La plej grava afero estas ke Bermane estas BONE. Kiu estas mia #?efa koncerno. Mi rimarkis #ie en la batalo, #Ver?ajne #?irka? la tria #a? kvara rondo, Io wasn?? #?Uste. #E? kvankam li diris min li estis BONE, Ni #?iu scias Bermane. Mi surmetas?? Menso perdanta batalon, Sed mi sciis ion wasn?? #?Uste, Do mi estis tre koncerna. #?Irka? la #na?a #a? 10a rondo mi estis pensanta halti la batalon #?ar vi surmetas?? Devi #da?ri, Sed li deziris teni bataladon.

??Ou didn?? Vidas Bermane, Vi vidis eble 10-15 Procento de Bermane. Mi vere kredas kaj vere sentita #tio ?i devus esti deca batalo por Bermane, Sed #da?ri kvar rondojn #a? malpli #?ar lia potenco kaj rapido. Ni neniam subtaksis lin. Ni trejnis #kvaza? li estis batalanta King Kong. Mi trejnas #?iu batalanton kiel tio, Subtaksi neniun. Sed SabatoNokto, Ni havis proksimume 15 Procento de Bermane.

??E estas iranta rigardi reen, Vidi kion ni faris #mal?uste, Kiel ni povas fari aferojn pli bona, Kio ni devus fari. Ni prenos rigardi kiel la #senakvi?o eble okazis. Ni prenos rigardi la batalon kaj kelkaj de la aferoj ni faris en trejnanta kaj eltrovi kion ni faris #mal?uste.?
