LOS ANGELES (November 30, 2018) – One day before the most significant heavyweight event in the U.S. di atas 15 tahun, heavyweight legends have descended on Los Angeles to discuss the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury showdown that will be live on SHOWTIME PPV® Saturday night from STAPLES Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
A media roundtable featured heavyweight greats Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe, Gerry Cooney, Earnie Pencukur, Buster Douglas dan Michael Spinks as they broke down Saturday’s battle of unbeaten giants.
Tiket untuk acara, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with TGB Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, are on sale now and are available via AXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV. The suggested retail price (SRP) for the pay-per-view telecast is $64.99 for standard definition.
The roundtable was hosted by SHOWTIME Sports award-winning reporter Jim Gray from the Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, Los Angeles. Here is what the heavyweight legends had to say Friday:
Evander Holyfield
“I feel that Deontay Wilder will win because eventually he’ll land that right hand. He’s very patient. He’s a thinker, but he can also take chances. When people take chances, they win.
“Deontay might not have as much experience as we did in our day, but he’s got the power. That’s what the people want to see and I think they’re going to be happy when they see it.
“There was a point in time where every great heavyweight was from the United States. We had a very good amateur program. I was the last true heavyweight champion from the U.S. before Wilder and until I lost the decision against Lennox.
“To be the heavyweight champion of the world, and to say you’re the best, you have to fight any man.”
LENNOX LEWIS
“I think it’s going to be a great fight. Deontay Wilder has a terrific right hand and when it lands, not too many people can stand up to it. I also think that you can’t hurt what you can’t hit. Tyson Fury is not an easy person to hit. He has great ability and movement. I’m going with Deontay early or Fury late.
“We all know how it feels to lose the heavyweight championship. We know how hard it is to gain it back. Fury has lost it, and now he wants it back. I can see now that he’s sacrificing and saying to himself that he shouldn’t have lost it, and now he has to regain it.
“I think the view in the U.K. is that Tyson Fury is the man that stepped up. The gauntlet was thrown out there and he stood up for Britain. Deontay came to England to challenge Anthony Joshua, but it was Tyson Fury who answered the call.
“I would say that there are a couple of meccas in boxing that are places where everyone wants to fight. Las Vegas, New York and of course, Los Angeles. My fight against Vitali Klitschko at STAPLES Center was a great fight. My plan that night was not to box to go the distance, I boxed to go a short distance and it did.”
RIDDICK BOWE
“I’m going with Deontay Wilder tomorrow night. He’s going to put on a great show for everyone and get another knockout.
“Tyson Fury is skilled and tall, tapi bagiku, he doesn’t do enough on offense. He moves but he doesn’t move his hands enough.”
GERRY COONEY
“I think it’s a great fight tomorrow night. We know that Fury is coming back motivated. If Wilder finds a home for that right, he’s going to take Fury out. I think he’s going to connect at some point during the fight.
“I think Tyson Fury is a great man for how far he’s come back in his life and for standing up to Deontay Wilder. Fury called him out, so maybe he knows something we don’t know.
“I’m so glad to be up here. Look at all these great heavyweights and great guys. It’s special and they’re all here to watch this fight tomorrow night.”
EARNIE SHAVERS
“Me and Deontay are both from Alabama. I’ll be inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame soon and Deontay will be there one day as well. Deontay is a great puncher and I’m pulling for him tomorrow night.
“I fought in a great era. If you fight guys on the same level, you’ll get good fights. These guys today could get in there in our day and put on a good show.”
BUSTER DOUGLAS
“I think this is going to be a good competitive fight. If I had to pick, I’d take Deontay Wilder by knockout in the eighth round.
“I feel like Tyson Fury has already won by battling back and getting into great shape and being in this position. I’m sure many people thought they’d never see him back here. That’s a victory in itself.
“My victory over Mike Tyson changed my life in a great way. I was now the heavyweight champion of the world. My dream had come true. Seeing my two youngest kids being born was the only thing that could top it.”
MICHAEL SPINKS
“Semoga orang terbaik menang. I don’t know who’s in the best of shape but I think Fury being out of the ring makes me lean toward Deontay Wilder. If Fury is as big in person as they say he is, he’s got a great chance.
“If you’re the underdog, you just have to go on what you know and what you’ve worked on. You can’t pay attention to the doubters. You focus on what you’ve prepared yourself for and give it your all. I always saw myself winning. It’s the greatest feeling to come out of the ring victorious.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Juni 11, 2018) – Tinju USA “Bulan Penggerak Keanggotaan Asosiasi Alumni” got off to a knockout start this past weekend in Canastota, New York, at the annual International Boxing Hall of Fame Class induction ceremonies, as nine high-profile boxers, featuring an incredible accumulate pro record of 365-51-7 (239 Biaya) dan 24 major world titles, joined the growing USABAA ranks as proud, new members.

The Alumni Association thanks the support provided by many this weekend, particularly Micky Ward and Antonio Tarver, who continue to spread our mission.”
“The fact is that the vast majority of professional boxers who attend the Hall of Fame weekend at Canastota each year were at one time amateur boxers and knew each other well before they ever even turned professional,” added invaluable USABAA advisor Scully, who recruits boxers for group-sponsored events like this. “At some point in the conversations between boxers across the grounds, the topics frequently will eventually turn to their amateur days together.”
“Amatir, untukku, was about fighting for respect,” Juara dunia dua divisi Junior Jones (50-6, 28 Biaya); terkenal. “To go to different places and make it very far (sebagai seorang amatir), you have to learn how to conduct yourself and transact with others.”

“I think this is great,” Jones talked about the formation of the USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Fighters who turned pro were great amateurs, but there are also a lot of amateurs who didn’t turn pro. Everybody doesn’t become champion, but they tried and gave their best, and that’s why this organization is good because all boxers are appreciated.”
“Although Hall of Fame weekend tends to focus on the professional careers of many fighters,” Cugliari concluded, “it was hard not to notice the effect that amateur boxing has had on the lives of many of these great champions. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank Ed Brophy for his generosity and support for boxing, and we look forward to a long partnership with the International Boxing Hall of Fame.”

Keputusan Webster Riojas di Kota Atlantik Dimenangkan oleh Seldon, Ajamu, Wikins dan Manzueta

Dengan kemenangan tersebut, Webster merebut gelar American Boxing Federation Continental Americas Super Middleweight.
Webster sangat tepat dengan pukulannya, yang ia ikuti dengan pengerjaan bodi kokoh yang memerahkan sisi-sisi Riojas. Webster mengejutkan Rioja pada beberapa kesempatan, tapi pengunjung dari Monterrey, Meksiko menunjukkan dagu yang bagus dan tetap berdiri untuk pertarungan sepuluh ronde.
Skor semuanya 100-90 mendukung Webster dari Glassboro, New Jersey, yang kini 26-1. Riojas adalah 16-10-1.
“Itu tinju di sana. Saya memajangnya. Roy Jones menyuruhku untuk menahannya lama, dan itulah yang saya lakukan. Saya mulai bekerja tubuh sedikit terlambat, tapi jab adalah kunciku. Saya bisa melakukan sedikit lebih banyak dengan tubuh, tapi pukulan jab adalah segalanya malam ini,” kata Webster.
“Di babak pertama, Saya memukulnya dengan tangan kanan yang besar, tapi bel menyelamatkannya. Saya memukulnya dengan baik beberapa kali lagi. Beberapa pria tahu bagaimana bertahan hidup, dan dia adalah salah satunya.”
“Kami telah berbicara dengan USBA tentang memperjuangkan gelar mereka. Itu akan membawa saya ke tempat yang saya inginkan. Saya siap untuk merebut gelar juara dunia. Saya telah mengatakan bahwa saya ingin melawan George Groves atau Tyron Zuege. Saya akan pergi ke Cina atau Jerman atau ke mana pun untuk melawan orang-orang itu.”
Isiah Seldon mencetak dua knockdown dalam perjalanan menuju keputusan bulat enam ronde atas Lamar Harris dalam pertarungan kelas menengah super.
Di babak empat, Seldon mendaratkan serangan balik sempurna yang mengirim Harris ke geladak. Di babak lima, itu adalah hak lain yang gila Harris’ sarung tangan menyentuh kanvas untuk kedua kalinya.
