3 Point Management signs 13-0 Russian Middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov

Leave a comment

LOS ANGELES (Abril 24, 2025) -3 Gestió de punts (3 Primer ministre) has announced the signing of undefeated Russian middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov (13-0, 6 KOs), one of the most accomplished Russian amateur boxers, a un contracte exclusiu de gestió.

Now residing in Woodland Hills (TAL COM), Khamukov is a promotional free agent who is trained by Danny Salazar. Khamukov had 350 partits d'aficionats, represented his native country in the 2016 Olympics – the only Russian to qualify for the same Olympics in two weights classes (middleweight and light heavyweight) – and he captured gold medals at the 2015 European Championships and 2016 Russian National Championships.

Khamukov, 33, has had a difficult time securing significant fights, which is the primary reason he decided to sign with 3 Primer ministre. His last fight was last May, in which Petr stopped Esau Herrera de la Cruz (21-16-1) a la tercera ronda.

“I saw the situation at 3 Primer ministre,” Khamukov explained why he signed with 3 Primer ministre. “I want to be world champion; they want to add another world champion to its team. Their desire to help me is why I signed. I hope to come back, probably in May, and my goal is to be ranked in the top 10 by the end of this year. I want to be world champion and won’t stop until I succeed.”

A self-described old-school, classic boxer, Khamukov came to the United States to enhance his pro boxing career, saying Russia is not as focused on pro boxing as in the United States, noting that the amateur boxing program back home remains strong.

Khamukov joins the growing 3 Gestió de punts (3 Primer ministre)  stable of gifted boxers including WBA & WBO Cruiserweight World Champion/Ring Magazine No. 1 rated Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs), former WBC World Light Heavyweight Champion/WBC No. 4 rated Oleksandr “Nails” Gvozdyk (20-2, 16 KOs), world super flyweight title challenger/WBO No. 1 rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (14-1, 9 KOs), AMB #4 rated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (14-0, 12 KOs), former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 KOs) and German junior welterweight Simon “Saucy” Vollmer (7-0, 3 KOs).

Salazar realizes he’s training a future star, one who only needs a break in terms of having major fights against name opponents.

“His 350 amateur matches mean he has a lot of experience,” Salazar noted. “We just added a little American and Mexican styles. He can fight in any way. He’s such a technician, eager to learn, and never says no when we tell him to do something. He’s more than ready for 10-round fights, but nobody wants to fight him at 160. We can go down to junior middleweight for the proper fight, but he’s ready for anybody at 160. We just haven’t been able to get those fights and that’s why we’re with 3 Primer ministre. We’ll continue to work on the basics, but what he needs are fights. Nobody wants to fight Petr!"

“The Surgeon” is prepared to operate on the elite of the world middleweights.

Pre-sale tickets are AVAILABLE TOMORROW, Dimecres, Febrer 12 des 10 a.m. PT fins 10 p.m. El PT AXS.com with code: PBC

“Sebastian Fundora sits atop the stacked super welterweight division and will no doubt be looking to put on a show when he defends his world titles against the dangerous highly-rated contender Chordale Booker topping this great event on Prime Video on March 22,” said Tom Brown, President de Promocions TGB. “This is a tremendous style matchup between the forward-charging attack of Fundora and the slick counterpunching of Booker and will make for great back-and-forth. Combined with a surefire action fight between Jesus Ramos Jr. and Kevin Salgado and a toss-up fight between Elijah Garcia and Terrell Gausha, everything is in place for another memorable fight night in Las Vegas.”

“Sebastian ‘The Towering Inferno’ Fundora will be better than ever in his first fight as a defending unified world champion,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing. “The whole Fundora family works so hard to be where they are and they deserve their success. Chordale Booker is a good fighter with real skills, but he won’t be able to take Sebastian’s power.”

**SEBASTIAN FUNDORA VS. CHORDALE BOOKER**

Standing nearly six-foot-six, Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora leapt into the championship ranks after earning a decision over Tim Tszyu last year, and will now defend his WBC and WBO 154-pound world titles against the WBO No. 5-ranked and WBC No. 14-ranked super welterweight contender in Chordale Booker as they top the March 22 event in a 12-round attraction.

Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs) rocketed to the top of the super welterweight division with a fan-friendly style and bruising toughness in the ring that helped him emerge victorious from a grueling and bloody battle against Tszyu last March. A native of Coachella, Califòrnia, Fundora notably showed his mettle in April 2022, battling the hard-hitting Erickson Lubin in an instant 2022 Fight of the Year contender. Despite both men hitting the canvas, Fundora stood tall in the end, prompting Lubin’s corner to stop the fight at the end of the ninth round.

The 27-year-old has defeated a slew of contenders throughout his career, with his only defeat coming to Brian Mendoza in 2023. Fundora represents one of boxing’s most accomplished families, as he is trained by his father Freddy alongside his younger sister, undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela. The two fighting Fundora’s are the first brother and sister to simultaneously hold world championships.

“I’m preparing really hard to defend my unified WBC and WBO world titles on March 22 in Las Vegas,” said Fundora. “Everyone can expect to see me prepared and ready to leave it all in the ring like I always do. ‘The Towering Inferno’ is back, and I’m coming to take out everyone in my way.”

Fighting out of his native Stamford, Connecticut, Booker (23-1, 11 KOs) enters this fight on a six-fight winning streak that includes four stoppage victories that have helped him rise up the rankings and earn his first world title opportunity. Since a 2022 loss to Austin Williams, Booker has dominated his competition, incloent una 2024 campaign that saw him defeat veteran contender Greg Vendetti in February before stopping Brian Damian Chaves in round three of their June clash.

The 33-year-old also owns triumphs over a litany of tough contenders including Wale Omotoso and VeShawn Owens. Abans de convertir -se en Pro 2016, Booker put together a sensational amateur career that included gold medals at the U.S. National and Golden Gloves championships, in addition to a bronze medal at the U.S. Olympic trials that earned him an alternate spot for the 2016 U.S. equip olímpic.

“I’ve done everything I could to get here, and it’s a testament to what my foundation represents – going the distance,", va dir Booker. “I’ve gone the distance to make it to this fight. I’ve taken fights on short notice, fought for less and always kept pushing forward. Ara, 15 years into my boxing journey, I’m stepping into the biggest fight of my life. This moment means everything and it’s proof that hard work and perseverance pays off.”

**JESUS RAMOS JR. VS. KEVIN SALGADO**

In the 10-round co-main event, one of the sport’s brightest rising Mexican stars will return to action as Jesus Ramos Jr. looks to continue his climb up the stacked 154-pound division when he battles the all-action contender Kevin Salgado in an explosive all-Mexican battle. After coming up on the wrong end of a contested decision against top contender Erickson Lubin in September 2023, Ramos (22-1, 18 KOs) has returned in style with back-to-back stoppages. Most recently he blasted out the former unified champion Jeison Rosario in the eight-round of their February 1 duel.

Natural de Casa Grande, Ariz., Ramos had worked his way up the rankings by defeating a slew of contenders including Brian Mendoza, Javier Molina, Vladimir Hernandez and an emphatic stoppage of the then-unbeaten Joey Spencer. Trained by his father Jesus Sr., and the nephew of veteran contender Abel, the 23-year-old Ramos entered the Lubin fighting having stopped seven of his last 10 oponents.

“I’m thrilled to be stepping back into the ring on March 22,” said Ramos. “One of my main goals this year was to increase my activity and this opportunity aligns perfectly with that ambition. Kevin Salgado is a formidable fighter known for his resilience and determination, and that should make for an electrifying night of boxing. Coming off an extended training camp, my conditioning is at its peak. Now our primary focus is to develop a strategic game plan tailored to Salgado’s unique style so that we can secure the victory.”

A native of Mexico City, Salgado (17-2-1, 10 KOs) is the younger brother of former super featherweight champion Juan Carlos Salgado and now fights out of San Antonio, Texas. Salgado enters this with two consecutive stoppage victories following an April 2023 decision loss to Elijah Garcia. The 27-year-old turned pro in late 2016 and delivered knockouts in six of his first nine outings. After scoring three-straight knockouts between September 2019 and February 2021, Salgado returned to the ring in October 2021 to defeat Ricardo Banuelos Cernas by unanimous decision before fighting Bryant Perrella to a split-draw in his U.S. debut a l'abril.

Salgado bounced back from a September 2022 defeat to Joey Spencer by knocking out Gilberto Flores in the first round of their December 2022 xoc.

“This is an important opportunity and I’m coming to make the most of it,” said Salgado. “I have a strong opponent, but I’m going to be the best version of myself when the fight comes. Al març 22 I will do whatever it takes to get my hand raised.”

**ELIJAH GARCIA VS. TERRELL GAUSHA**

The opening attraction will see the return of a rising star in the 21-year-old Elijah Garcia, who seeks to bounce back from his first career defeat and return to his championship trajectory in a 10-round middleweight fight against the always tough veteran Terrell Gausha, who has stood up to a litany of top fighters throughout his career.

Lluitant fora de Phoenix, Arizona, García (16-1, 13 KOs) steps back into the ring after dropping a close split-decision last June against middleweight contender Kyrone Davis. Garcia had previously burst onto the scene as a teenager by earning three impressive victories in 2023. He kicked off that memorable campaign in March with a knockout of the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vida and followed that up with a pair of performances on the undercards of two of the biggest events of the year.

He first defeated Kevin Salgado on the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia pay-per-view in April before knocking out Armando Resendiz on the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo pay-per-view in September. The precocious García has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and knocked out seven of his last nine opponents heading into the Davis fight.

“I’m not just ready for this fight, I’m ready to dominate,", va dir Garcia. “I’m excited to get back in the ring and unleash everything I’ve been working on in camp. The addition of Bob Santos and his knowledge and wisdom that he’s shared with our team is a game changer. His expertise and guidance are going to take us to new heights and propel us to the next level. We’re not just looking to win, we’re looking to make a statement.”

Un membre de la 2012 U.S. equip olímpic, Gausha (24-4-1, 12 KOs) va néixer a Cleveland, Ohio, però ara lluita fora d'Encino, California and is trained by the renowned Manny Robles. He most recently dropped a competitive decision to reigning WBC Middleweight World Champion Carlos Adames in their June 2024 baralla de títol mundial.

Prior to facing Adames, Gausha had won back-to-back bouts as he knocked out Brandyn Lynch in March 2023 before winning a decision over KeAndrae Leatherwood in September of that year. Gausha has faced top competition throughout his career, després d'haver lluitat contra l'antic campió Austin Trout amb un empat 2019 in addition to decision losses against WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy Lara, former world champion Tim Tszyu and top contender Erickson Lubin.

“I’m excited to get back in the mix,", va dir Gausha.. “I’m always working and staying ready for any opportunity. Al març 22 people will know why I’ve been at this level for so long. I’m going to make a statement for sure.”

"Granite Chin Box Off" per llançar el maig 11º

4-lluitador, 1-Torneig nocturn de pes súper mitjà

"Rumble at the Rink" al Quincy Youth Arena de Quincy, Massachusetts

poster.jpg

QUINCY, Missa. (Març 26, 2024) – Promocions Granite Chin (GCP) ha anunciat el llançament del seu innovador torneig d'una nit, "Caixa de barbeta de granit apagada,” dissabte a la nit, Maig 11, amb un quartet de lluitadors de pes súper mitjà de Nova Anglaterra encapçalants “Targeta de boxa professional Rumble at the Rink, al Quincy Youth Arena de Quincy, Massachusetts.

El quartet de pesos supermitjans lluitarà en combats de tres rondes (4º ronda de mort sobtada si cal en cas d'empat) a primera hora del vespre i els dos guanyadors passaran a l'esdeveniment principal de cinc rondes (6º ronda de mort sobtada en cas d'empat) per determinar el campió del que el promotor Chris Traietti té previst que sigui un torneig anual, que ha estat sancionat per la Comissió de Boxa de Massachusetts.

Els quatre lluitadors són agressius i atrevits que vénen a lluitar, que es tradueix en una vetllada memorable per als aficionats.

"Aquest torneig ha estat una idea amb la qual he estat coquetejant des del 2021", va dir el president de GCP, Chris Traietti.. "No volia prémer el gallet fins que vaig sentir com si tingués solucionades algunes de les preocupacions inicials i tingués els quatre nois adequats.. Ara s'ha reunit tot! No hi ha cap combinació de baralles amb aquests quatre que no estiguin plens d'acció des de la campana inicial. Això és una cosa que Granite Chin té previst fer anualment, així que un cop finalitzat aquest torneig inaugural, l'avaluarem per veure si cal alguna millora per preparar-ne una 2025. Gràcies als lluitadors per la seva passió per formar part d'alguna cosa especial com aquesta i a la Comissió de Massachusetts per tota la seva ajuda per fer-me arribar per abordar i gestionar tots els problemes de seguretat perquè pugui ser sancionat ".

Aquí teniu un desglossament dels quatre desafiadors "Granite Chin Box Off".:

James "Pitbull" Perkins (13-1-1, 9 KOs), Lynn, Massachusetts

Perkins és el favorit abans del torneig segons el seu palmarès professional i la seva qualitat d'oposició. Un enterrador durant el dia, Perkins va patir la seva única derrota l'agost passat davant Steve Sumpter (9-0, 7 KOs), perdent una decisió majoritària de vuit rondes pel vacant IBA America Supermidweight Championship.

"Tinc moltes ganes d'aquest esdeveniment. Sempre he volgut lluitar en un torneig perquè mai no vaig lluitar als Guants d'Or ni a cap torneig d'aficionats.. Vaig decidir convertir-me en professional després de la meva sisena lluita amateur. Encara és millor que l'esdeveniment se celebri en una pista d'hoquei perquè vaig créixer tota la vida jugant a hoquei.. Vaig començar a patinar als dos anys i vaig jugar fins a l'institut (St. Mary de Lynn).

"Estic preparat per fer front a qualsevol cosa que se m'arribi. Sé qui són tots els lluitadors, però conec a Clark molt més que els altres lluitadors. Jo i Clark hem lluitat amb la mateixa carta diverses vegades. M'agrada Clark i és un noi dur, però si acabem junts al ring, tot serà negoci. No serem amics quan estiguem allà dins. Al final de la nit, Estic molt segur que seré el guanyador del torneig".

Anthony "The Gentle Savage" Andreozzi (5-3, 2 KOs), Swansea, Massachusetts

Un antic campió de pes mitjà de Massachusetts, Andreozzi s'ha recuperat d'una brutal lesió a la cama/turmell patida fa més d'un any, tornant el passat mes de febrer 24º dins d'un nocaut a la segona ronda d'Igor Pessoa.

"És (torneig) trencant els límits segur. És el tipus de torneig on el control emocional serà important. No pots volar la teva càrrega a la primera ronda de la primera lluita i encara esperar tenir èxit. Tinc uns quants centenars de partits de lluita lliure i més d'una dotzena de partits de karate. Estic acostumat al control emocional necessari per fer efectiva la violència dues vegades en una nit. No puc esperar!

"Ryan Clark és un gran noi. Hem fet rondes abans de la meva lluita amb Kyle Cusick (Abril 22, 2022). Perkins va fer sis rondes dures amb un antic company meu. Bernard sembla un bon noi, així que res personal contra ell".

Bernat Josep (6-1, 4 KOs), Dorchester, Massachusetts

Joseph ha guanyat els seus dos últims combats i ha estat actiu amb quatre baralles 2023 i aquest serà el segon del 2024. El jugador de 33 anys també tindrà un avantatge de ciutat natal lluitant a Quincy, propera..

“És diferent (format de torneig), però depèn de la manera com entrenem. Faig molt sparring i això em anirà bé. Es tracta d'entrenar i acostumar el meu cos al descans com a sparring. Podria estar lluitant quatre rondes i després sis.

"Ara sóc un professional, lluitant contra sis rodons, però no amb una llarga pausa entre baralles com en aquest torneig. Em donarà temps per rehidratar-me i preparar-me per al segon combat de la nit. He vist vídeos de tots els altres lluitadors i no estic parlant malament de ningú, però no puc sentir que sóc el favorit per guanyar-ho tot”.

Ryan Clark (4-5, 2 KOs), Barrington, Maine

Un pes mitjà natural, Clark està pujant més pes al torneig, una cosa que és ben conscient però que no li preocupa massa. Un altre lluitador ple d'acció, El registre de Clark és enganyós perquè és tan dur com ells i capaç de derrotar a qualsevol dels altres tres rivals..

"És (torneig) és una gran idea. Chris (Traietti) és un noi intel·ligent, i aquest torneig oferirà entreteniment als aficionats, i serà un repte per als lluitadors. Aplaudeixo la seva idea. Normalment lluito a 160 i aquest torneig em fa lluitar en una classe de pes una mica més gran. M'agrada el repte.

"Conec Tony i Perkins i els respecto. Tenen talent. Aquest (torneig) és semblant al sparring. Faig cinc o sis rondes, quedar-se parlant, participar en una altra formació, i després tornar al ring per entrenar de nou. Això no és massa diferent".

Aviat s'anunciaran partits addicionals.

La targeta està subjecta a canvis.

Les portes obren a 6:00 p.m. I, primera baralla a les 7 p.m. I.

El prospecte de pes súper mitjà turc Cem "Champ" Kilic viu el somni americà Cap de cartell aquest dijous a Montebello, TAL COM, en directe a UFC FIGHT PASS

Leave a comment
Kilic celebrant.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Març 9, 2022) —Quin llarg, El viatge estrany ha estat per al prospecte de pes súper mitjà turc Cem "Champ" Kilic, part d'un creixement 3 Gestió de punts (3 Primer ministre) estable, reassentament a Califòrnia des d'Alemanya malgrat la pandèmia, per titular les "Hollywood Fight Nights" d'aquest dijous a la nit, Presentat per 360 Promocions, al Quiet Cannon Country Club de Montebello, Califòrnia.

Kilic, de 27 anys, s'enfronta a Andrew "Huracà" Hernández (21-8-2, 9 KOs) en l'esdeveniment principal de 8 rondes, que es retransmetrà en directe i exclusivament a UFC FIGHT PASS®.


Membre de l'equip nacional turc de boxa, Kilic es va traslladar fa vuit anys d'Alemanya a Sherman Oaks, Califòrnia, on encara resideix. Un nadiu d'Alemanya la família del qual prové de Turquia, Kilic va mostrar un gran coratge simplement traslladant-se a mig món amb un simple $200 a les seves butxaques, així com la incapacitat de parlar anglès a part d'unes poques paraules.


“Encara passo molt de temps a casa,", va remarcar Kilic. “Durant la pandèmia, Vaig viure amb la meva família a Alemanya, i tinc molta família a Turquia. Va ser molt dur créixer. Sempre havia somiat amb viure als Estats Units mirant pel·lícules. Jo volia fer una cosa diferent. Sóc un gran fan de les pel·lícules de Hollywood. Muhammad Ali és el meu ídol i aquesta és una altra raó per la qual volia venir aquí a boxejar.


"No parlava anglès quan vaig arribar per primera vegada a Amèrica, només bàsics, i ningú que vaig conèixer aquí parlava alemany o turc. però vaig aprendre anglès veient pel·lícules antigues i fent servir el traductor de Google. Vaig aprendre ràpidament, encara que, i es va sentir còmode parlant anglès en sis mesos. I ara visc a només 10 minuts de Hollywood".


Kilic va tocar fons després de patir la seva primera derrota al gener 11, 2020, a 15-0 Steve Nelson a Atlantic City, en què el seu racó va llençar la tovallola a mitjan vuitena ronda a causa de diversos talls facials. La lluita va ser per l'Organització de Boxa Nord-americana vacant (TAMBÉ) títol. Cem es va prendre un temps lliure als Estats Units. durant la pandèmia.


“Tot estava tancat,”Va explicar. "Engreixo i em deprimit encara més. Em vaig deixar anar després de la meva primera pèrdua. La meva dona va dir que havia de tornar en forma, així que vaig veure un vídeo de formació a YouTube i, al principi, No vaig poder superar l'escalfament. Però a poc a poc em vaig posar en forma i això va tornar a alimentar el meu interès per la boxa. No tenia promotor i em vaig separar del meu directiu i entrenador. Vaig ser entrenat per un amic i vaig anar al lloc d'Abel Sanchez a Big Bear i vaig aconseguir una bona feina. Vaig lluitar amb molts campions: Jermell Charlo, (Gilberto) 'Zurdo' Ramírez, Callum Smith, i David Benavidez”.


Kilic action.jpg
(L) Cem Kilic és el lluitador d'un lluitador


Un lluitador agressiu que es descriu a si mateix amb una mentalitat guerrera, Kilic diu que el difunt Arturo Gatti era un dels seus lluitadors preferits, a qui emula pel que fa a l'estil. Cem ha mirat el Gatti-(Micky) Trilogia de Ward sobre 20 vegades, que el va portar a la boxa com a carrera.

"Sabia del Gatti, però realment em vaig posar a la boxa després de veure les seves baralles amb Micky Ward,", va recordar amb afecte Kilic. "Eren molt durs, i m'encanta la manera com van lluitar. Eren lluitadors de retrocés als anys 40 i 50".


L'actual Team Kilic es va formar després de la seva única derrota. Està entrenat per 4 vegades, 2-Brian Viloria, campió del món de divisió, a més de ser gestionat (3Primer ministre), que també gestiona 43-0 “Zurdo” Ramírez, l'antic campió mundial de pes súper mitjà, actualment el millor competidor mundial de pes lleuger.


"Vaig conèixer Brian i el vaig conèixer a Brickhouse,", va explicar Kilic. "Un dia li vaig dir al meu entrenador de força i condicionament que necessitava un nou entrenador i li vaig demanar que parlés amb Brian sobre mi.. Em va agradar Brian i sabia que era un campió del món amb molts coneixements. Només hem treballat junts per a una lluita, però he millorat en molts aspectes.


"Estava esperant una oportunitat per signar amb un gerent i vaig fer a les 15:00. Els nois són genials i estic molt més motivat que abans. Ha estat increïble."


Kilic està preparat per mostrar el seu desenvolupament sota Viloria i a les 3 de la tarda d'aquest dijous a la nit contra Hernández. "No puc esperar,", va concloure Kilic. "Ha lluitat contra alguns bons noms (Caleb Planta, Jesse Hart, Ali Akhmedov, Ahmed Elbiali, Patrick Teixeira, i Arif Magomedov). Sempre em preparo per recórrer tota la distància. Mai vaig a una baralla buscant un nocaut, però busco obertures.”


Cem "Champ" Kilic viu realment el somni americà, sobretot pel suport que té dels nous membres del seu equip.

LOS ANGELES (Setembre 21, 2021) – Boxing’s consensus No. 1 lliura-per-lliura, Mexican superstar and unified WBA/WBC/WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Canelo Álvarez and undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Plant met for an intense stare down that turned into a scuffle Tuesday at a press conference previewing their historic and highly anticipated undisputed super middleweight championship showdown.

During an extended face-off that kicked off the event, the fighters exchanged words and threw glancing blows before their respective teams rushed the stage to separate the combatants, escalating a rivalry that will culminate on fight night in just over six weeks.

Canelo and Plant will battle on Saturday, Novembre 6, live on SHOWTIME PPV at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in a Premier Boxing Champions event, with the winner stamping his name in the history books as the first undisputed 168-pound world champion of the four-belt era.

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. The event is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Hennessy and Value.

Eddy Reynoso, Canelo’s trainer and manager, and Justin Gamber, Plant’s trainer, joined their fighters on stage at the event in Beverly Hills. Això és el que van dir els participants a la roda de premsa d'aquest dimarts:

CANELO ÁLVAREZ

“You are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don’t want to fight now, Et prometo que.

“We come from nothing and we worked hard to be here. For somebody to lie and talk trash about us, that upset Eddy. It is what it is though. We just have to show everyone who we are on November 6.

“Caleb might be on the same level as Billy Joe Saunders and Callum Smith, però no està al meu nivell. I respect that he isn’t here to back down. You can see from today that this is definitely going to be a good fight.

“I know what I need to do and I know a lot about him. He’s a good fighter but I know my skills. My experience is going to give me the edge in the fight. I have faced similar styles to Caleb’s against Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout and Saunders.

“He’s an insecure person and that’s why he came with a lot of excuses about lots of things. I don’t care about it though. I’m just going to do my best on November 6 and win the fight.

“To be undisputed is history for Mexico and for everyone on my team. To be the undisputed champion is just a great thing for my career.

On the on-stage scuffle: “You can say whatever to me, but not to my mom. I’m going to fight anyone who says something about my mom. And he swung first. I just pushed him. He swung first, and I do what I do. He crossed the line.

“It will be over in eight rounds or less. I’m going to knock out this guy. Easy.”

CALEB PLANTA

“I know only one thing better than proving people right, and that’s proving people wrong. I’ve been doing that my whole life. As soon as I stepped on the stage, people started talking about what I can’t accomplish and what I can’t do. D'on jo vinc, there is no boxing community. There was no other pro I could look to and say that if he can do it, then I can do it. All I had was my mind and my heart.

“I don’t do this to be famous or to get attention. When I first started, it was just me and my dad. No one thought I’d be standing here today. I can remember him and my grandfather scrounged up a little bit of money to open a little boxing gym. There was just one heavy bag hanging in the corner. But when you really want something, you don’t need all the fancy things. You just need your mind and your heart.

“I know that people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m winning on November 6. All those people who tell me that I can’t do something, you live believable lives and you do believable things. I promised myself that I was going to run this all the way to the top, with no problem crashing and burning along the way. I set out to live an unbelievable life and accomplish unbelievable things. Those people who doubt me are the very reason that I’m here.

“Miguel Cotto’s brother can make you do the chicken dance but I can’t? Bé. Marca les meves paraules, de novembre 6 you will hear the words, ‘And the new undisputed super middleweight champion,’ but you will also hear the words, ‘and still undefeated.’

“Being undisputed would mean a lot. I’ve sacrificed so much to this sport and I’ve been doing this a long time. All that work would come down to one moment. I want my name in those history books and that’s the only reason that I’m here.

On the on-stage scuffle: “We just had some normal back-and-forth banter up there and then whatever happened, happened. It’s none of my concern though. I’m focused and locked in on November 6.”

EDDY REYNOSO, Canelo’s Trainer and Manager

“I think this is going to be a great fight, one where we unify the 168-pound division. As we do with every fight, we’re going to work hard in the gym. We’ve always worked hard in the gym.

“I’m a little upset by how things turned out today, but in the end we will settle things in the ring on November 6.

“The offensive language is what offended us the most. We are respectful people, and we move forward from this with our heads held up high. Now we are going to train well, win the fight and see what comes next after that.


“There are a lot of people who say things on social media but then they don’t show up. Some people want to take down a whole country and a great athlete that represents his country. They talk a lot of trash. You need to work hard though. You need to have guts to work as hard as we do.”

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Trainer

“I want to thank our whole team for believing in us and getting us this fight that we wanted and this opportunity to make history. It’s been blood sweat and tears, literalment, to get here. Ha estat un llarg viatge. This fight is not about money, it’s about legacy.

“In 1996, when I was 15-years-old, my favorite fighter was the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Roy Jones Jr. Every fan back then craved an undisputed champion at 168-pounds and now I train the IBF champion and we’re going to be fighting for all of the marbles.

“Tune in on November 6 and you will see the first undisputed super middleweight champion of the world and he’s from Tennessee. Anything that happened today at this press conference is going to drive us and give us more hunger.

TOM BROWN, President de Promocions TGB

“It took a couple of tries, but here we are today with the undisputed super middleweight championship on November 6. It’s a real pleasure to be working with our network partners at SHOWTIME for this event. SHOWTIME has a long history of being involved in the sports’ biggest and most important events and that continues with this fight.

“It’s an honor to be working with the pound-for-pound king Canelo Álvarez, Eddy Reynoso and everyone with Canelo Promotions. I’m also thrilled to be back working with everyone on team Plant. I promoted Caleb’s pro debut in 2014 and it’s great to see him up here today in this position.

“Canelo holds three titles, while Caleb owns the fourth title in the 168-pound division. They’ll battle to become the first undisputed champ in the four-belt era. History will be made on November 6 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President, SHOWTIME Sports

“2021 has been a phenomenal year for SHOWTIME Boxing. It’s one of our most prolific years in recent memory. SHOWTIME has delivered 17 live boxing events so far this year, with several more to come. Eight world championship fights, multiple world title unifications and now two fights for the undisputed title as a very good year for SHOWTIME becomes a great year for SHOWTIME. SHOWTIME is the home of big fights. It’s the most trusted and longest-tenured network in boxing. There is no other network making a more meaningful or more significant commitment to the sport of boxing. We are the home of boxing’s biggest and best fights.

“We are proud to welcome Canelo Álvarez back to SHOWTIME. We also welcome Caleb Plant for his SHOWTIME debut. It was almost nine years ago – September 15, 2012 – that Canelo made his debut on SHOWTIME in a thrilling fight against Josesito Lopez. Nine years is a long time. That was a very young Canelo Álvarez and a very young Eddy Reynoso. That started an impressive run of fights in which Canelo demonstrated his willingness, desire and demand to take the toughest fights available. Together back in 2013, we set a record at the time for the biggest pay-per-view of all time as we helped launch Canelo as boxing’s newest pay-per-view star. Now nine years later, we are proud to welcome him back for this mega fight.”

HOUSTON – May 18, 2021 - Unbeaten WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo and hard-hitting 160-pound contender Juan Macías Montiel met face-to-face for the first time Tuesday during a kick-off press conference as they preview the main event of a special Juneteenth Day celebration in Charlo’s hometown of Houston Saturday, Juny 19 at Toyota Center headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event live on SHOWTIME.

Charlo has established himself as a force in two divisions and will seek to thrill his hometown crowd against Mexico’s Montiel in a first-of-its-kind Juneteenth Day boxing celebration. Charlo will fight in Houston for the fourth time as a pro and look to keep his undefeated record intact against the upset-minded Montiel.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will begin at 9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT and feature rising lightweight contender Isaac Cruz lluitant contra l'ex campió del món Francisco Vargas a l'esdeveniment co-principal de 10 rondes. Kicking off the telecast, l'ex campió del món Angelo Leo returns to take on Mexican contender Aaron Alameda en un 10 assalts pes súper gall baralla.

Here is what Charlo, Montiel and their trainers had to say Tuesday:

Charlo JERMALL:

“Juny 19, que hi haurà focs artificials. A parade. A celebration. Me and Ronnie Shields get a chance to do it again. Estic treballant dur. I was working hard before I even knew who Montiel was. Aquesta vegada, you get a chance to see all the hard work I’ve put in for so many years. It’s a dream come true to be able to fight in my city and I get a chance to do it with a crowd. Tune in and get your tickets because it’s going to be a great night of boxing.

“There’s no better day to fight than Juneteenth. It’s a celebration for me and my people and I get to represent them and carry them on my back. To be able to do it for my city right here at the Toyota Center – it’s going to be an amazing night of boxing.

“Montiel is fearless. He’s a fighter that I think deserves a chance. En aquest punt, he understands where he’s at. Aquesta és una gran lluita. A lot of people may not know who Montiel is, just like I didn’t, but he’s a strong fighter. The people want to see me get tested, dret? I want to see those big fights, massa. In a matter of time, they’ll come. But Montiel should be a good fight.

“I’m going to whoop his ass. He doesn’t stand a chance. They’re all confident. I got the belt. The belt ain’t going nowhere. Toyota Center, get ready. It’s going to be fireworks June 19. He can be as confident as he wants, but when we get in there he’s going to have to figure it out.

“I’m ready to fight the best in the world. I’m the best in the world and I’m not going to let this guy over here stop me. The belt is not going nowhere. The belt is staying right here in ‘H Town.’ There’s nothing he could do about it. Res. It’s my belt. It’s my legacy. You’ll find out June 19.

“A fighter like Montiel is challenging to go in there and get the job done real clean and swiftly because if I look bad against a guy like this, they’ll take away from what I did in the Derevyanchenko fight. Però, si, fins a la data, Derevyanchenko was one of my hardest fights, but I made nice work of it and onto the next one.

“I got the belt. Champions fight champions. We unify. Però si no es, we’re not just going to sit back. Those guys that have the belt like Triple G, Canelo and Andrade – the belts are out there so eventually it will happen. I’m not in a rush. Sóc jove. I’m still having fun. I’m enjoying what I do best.

“If Triple G wants this WBC belt, I have it. It’s over here, it’s open. I’m ready to fight.”

JUAN MACÍAS MONTIEL:

“We are focused on preparing as well as possible. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are taking it as such with a lot of dedication and discipline. We are ready to put on a great show on June 19.

“This is the fight I always dreamed of. I am all about challenging myself and fighting against the best of the best. I have been training hard and I believe in myself. I will be ready to come out and win.

“We’re fighting in Houston because I don’t think that I’m in a position to choose or dictate anything right now. I will fight anywhere in order to make my dream of becoming a champion come true. If we have to fight on the moon, then let’s fight on the moon.

“I believe that power is the great equalizer, a legit advantage in boxing, since it can change the fortunes of any fighter inside the ring. I consider my power an advantage in my favor.

“I have fought and prepared so hard for the opportunity to go and get this championship belt. I have done things the right way, there is no reason for things to go wrong. As I said previously, I am not in a position to choose where to fight. I just have to keep training hard like I have since I was four years old.

“I’m happy that there will be fans in the stands. No sento cap pressió, because it’s all about Latin pride and support and that motivates me.

“I think Charlo is a great fighter, super talented and the world champion for a reason. I have been preparing my whole life for this.

“I don’t think that all Mexicans just go on attack mode by default, you also have to be smart and think things through depending on how the fight goes.”

Ronnie Shields, CHARLO’S TRAINER:

“Jermall Charlo has worked his butt off in the gym and he continues to do that. To defend your title in your backyard, in your hometown, that’s a very special thing. Not only is it going to be special because of that, it’s going to be special because Juneteenth is a very special day for all African Americans in the state of Texas. We’re looking forward to a great fight. Montiel is a really great fighter and we know we can’t underestimate anybody. We’re going to be in the best condition we’ve ever been in every time we fight and we’re going to continue to do that. We’re looking forward to having everybody come out for this great celebration.

“I think a lot of people were surprised how easily Jermall beat Sergey Derevyanchenko. He was the No. 1 contendent. He was the mandatory defense. He gave Triple G problems. He gave Danny Jacobs problems. And Jermall beat him.”

EDUARDO MONTIEL, MONTIEL’S TRAINER:

“Training camp is an ongoing process. Things are going swimmingly, just like we wanted them to. We are very happy and so glad people have welcomed us here in Houston with open arms.

“I’m hoping for Montiel to be in his best physical, mental and emotional shape to come out with a win on June 19. Our biggest advantage right now is that we are already settled in here in the United States, free of the distractions and temptations we might have back home in Mexico.

“I think that a victory of this magnitude would make Montiel the face of Mexican boxing, rubbing elbows with the Canelos of the world. Life would change overnight for him.”

DOUG HALL, GENERAL MANAGER, TOYOTA CENTER:

“We welcome SHOWTIME and our friends from Premier Boxing Champions back to Toyota Center. We have a great history of hosting combat sports in this fine arena. We’re really excited about what Jermall Charlo and Juan Macías Montiel are going to bring to the Toyota Center on June 19. Les butlletes estan a la venda a toyotacenter.com and we are looking forward to a great night as we bring back live events to this market. We can do it successfully and safely and we want to see everybody come and see a great championship boxing match.”

CLARESSA SHIELDS DOMINATES MARIE-EVE DICAIRE, MAKES HISTORY AS THE FIRST BOXER TO BE CROWNED UNDISPUTED CHAMP IN A SECOND WEIGHT DIVISION

Leave a comment
UNDEFEATED STAR CITES JUNE IN LAS VEGAS FOR HER MMA DEBUT; CALLS OUT KATIE TAYLOR AND SAVANNAH MARSHALL IN POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW

(Divendres, Març 5, 2021 – Flint, MI) Women’s superstar Claressa Escuts furthered her claim as boxing’s “GWOAT” Friday night and became the unified WBC, OMB, FIB & WBA Super Junior Middleweight World Champion, by scoring a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Marie-Eve Dicaire de St-Eustache, Quebec, Canadà, in the 10-round main event of the historic all-women’s “SUPERDONES: ESCUTS VS. DICAIRE event at the Dort Financial Center and live on pay-per-view in Shields’ hometown of Flint, Michigan.

Escuts (11-0, 2 KOs) also became the first boxer in the four-belt era to become an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions by virtue of her shutout victory (100-90 pels tres jutges) over now former champion Dicaire (17-1).

Uncharacteristically, the 25-year-old Shields turned counterpuncher early in this fight, to offset Dicaire’s attempts to bounce in and out of range. Relying on her reflexes to punish any attempt at aggression by Dicaire, Shields shut the Canadian down and then turned back to her customary forward aggression later in the bout.

Dicaire landed a quality southpaw left on Shields in round four, possibly her only significant blow of the fight, and Shields simply shook it off to no effect.

I can’t be mad about my performance,” said Shields after the bout. “She just kept elbowing and headbutting me. I tried for the knockout and I almost had it a couple times, but we’ve got two minutes and the ref not breaking it up when she’s holding me and elbowing me. I’m happy but I still wanted the knockout. I just didn’t have enough time. Al final de la dia, I am the new undisputed champ at 154 and the first boxer to be undisputed champ twice.”

Shields said she was happy to have accomplished her latest piece of history in front of her family and friends in Flint, even if the pandemic meant a lot fewer fans in attendance.

“With Covid, we couldn’t have a full capacity. Hi ha 300 here and that’s the capacity of the day, so we have a full house. We couldn’t have full capacity, but I know if we could have, we would have had 6000 people in here. I’m happy to have been able to do it here (a Flint). I started boxing here at Berston Fieldhouse at 11 anys. Never in a million years did I think I’d be on pay-per-view and fighting for an undisputed title and be one of the biggest stars in boxing. I just wanted to win an Olympic Gold medal. God has given me two Olympic medals. jo tinc 12 championship belts now. It doesn’t feel real to say undisputed twice.”

When asked about two of her remaining rivals in boxing, fellow superstar Katie Taylor of Ireland and her one-time conqueror in the amateurs, Savannah Marshall of the UK, Shields brimmed with confidence.

“Katie Taylor is not the worry. 147 pounds is. They’d have to pay me a lot to lose my butt and go down to 147. Al final de la dia, I’m a woman. I don’t have big breasts, but I got a nice butt, so come with that dough and I’ll be there. At least a million and I’ll be there.

“Savannah Marshall can’t f*** with me. Anem a viure en la realitat. Savannah Marshall, you won a lucky decision when we were kids. Also London was hosting the Olympics. If you want to gloat about beating me 14 points to 8… come on now. And then I went on to become world champion in three different division and she broke. She knows she cannot and will not ever be able to f*** with me. She can come to America. I will go to the UK. We can go to Mexico. We can go anywhere, and I will f*** her up. She knows that. She’s scared of me. Savannah Marshall can get it. Tell Eddie Hearn, he came that whack-ass 250K. Tell him to come with 500K… 750K if he wants me to go to the UK and smoke his girl. Pay me.”

Dicaire continued her graciousness in post-fight questioning and promised not to let the loss dampen her future in the sport.

“I think Claressa did a good job tonight,” said Dicaire. “Tonight, she was the best. Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. Aquesta nit, I learned. I think this is just going to allow me to grow stronger. I don’t box to protect my record or keep my record at 0 pèrdues. I box to beat champions. Aquesta nit, I had the chance to fight the real champion. She won this time but count on me to go back to the gym and work hard and be world champion again for sure.

Escuts, who says her much-publicized MMA debut will likely be in Las Vegas in June, threw 409 punches in the fight and landed 128 Incloent 34.9% of her power punches. Dicaire threw 263 punches in return but landed just 31.

“Flint Michigan got the baddest boxer in the world!” said Shields to her fans. “We two-time undisputed. Pacquiao who? Canelo who? When someone else does what I did let me know.”



In the night’s co-main event, Houston’s undefeated Danielle Perkins (3-0, 1 KO) showed marked improvement and had a much easier time in her rematch against Georgia’s Monika “Lay Em Down” Harrison (2-2, 1 KO), scoring a dominant eight-round unanimous decision while picking up the WBC Silver Heavyweight Championship in the process.

The former amateur world champion Perkins used every bit of her superior athleticism, 6’ height and 72-inch reach to move around the ring and keep the 5’ 10” Harrison at bay with a punishing southpaw right jab and a steady diet of strong left hands to the head and body. A vegades, Referee Michael Griffin appeared to be considering a stoppage, but the durable Harrison kept coming forward and swinging for the fences for all eight rounds, despite the firepower coming her way.

Les puntuacions van ser 80-72 dels tres jutges.

“I apologize for not getting a knockout. I swear next time I’ll come back and give it to you, pedra foguera,” said Perkins, posterior a la baralla. “Monika made some adjustments this time. I hit her with some solid hammers and that girl stayed on her feet so kudos to her.”

Perkins threw 353 punches in the fight and landed 121 Incloent 40.9% dels seus trets de poder. Harrison threw 273 shots, but only found a home for 21 d'ells.

“I want to be the undisputed female heavyweight champion of the world,” continued Perkins. “I want to be the best you’ve ever seen.”

Pes gallo invicte Jamie “The Miracle” Mitchell (6-0-2, 43 KOs) of Pacific Grove, Califòrnia, looked impressive in battering and stopping more-experienced veteran Noemi “La Rebelde / No-No” Bosques (12-16-3, 2 KOs) in five one-sided rounds.

With the two-fisted punishment from Mitchell steadily increasing with every passing round, Referee Gerard White decided the stumbling and retreating Bosques had had enough and mercifully waved the fight off at 1:49 of the fifth.

“I was just zoned out. I was doing whatever fit the moment,” said Mitchell, posterior a la baralla. “That’s how I got the knockout. Thanks to my coaches and thanks to Claressa Shields for putting me on this card. This is an unforgettable moment for women.”

Prior to scoring the technical knockout, Mitchell landed 48% (80/167) of her power punches, i 40% (94/234) del seu cop de puny total. Noemi Bosques only landed 24 de 153 cops.

“I like to pick on myself to do better,” said Mitchell of her performance. “There were certain things I wanted to do, but they don’t call this girl a gatekeeper for nothing. I wish I had gotten her out of there quicker and been crisper with my jab. She was a bit tricky.”

In the opening bout of the broadcast, 2012 Medallista de bronze olímpic Marlen Esparza(9-1, 1 KO) stayed busy ahead of her scheduled challenge of WBC Flyweight Champion Ibeth Zamora in April with a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Canada’sShelly Barnett (ara 4-4-2, 2 KO).

Barnett tried to be aggressive, but Esparza’s skills allowed her to pot shot her bigger opponent, nearly at will, especially as the fight wore on. “We knew she was tough and bigger,” said Esparza. “I wanted someone with more weight because I never fight above 112 lliura. and I think I handled it well. I’m happy about the way everything played out. I’m happy to have been part of this event and to be working with Claressa again.”

Esparza threw 352 punches in the fight, aterratge 126, Incloent 26 body shots and 38.4% dels seus trets de poder. Barnett threw 291 and landed 49. Classificacions dels jutges van ser 60-54, 6-53 x 2.

On the free pre-show portion of the pay-per-view, middleweight Timur Kerefov stayed undefeated (11-0, 6 KOs) with a TKO 3 over Saint Petersburg, Florida veteran Manny Woods (ara 16-11-1, 6 KOs). Woods left eye couldn’t hold up under the onslaught of punches from the Russian former amateur star. El temps era 1:06. Kerefov, Detroit via Shalushka, Russia and now training at Kronk Gym, threw 190 punches in the abbreviated encounter, aterratge 80, Incloent 24 cops al cos. Woods threw 122 and landed just 17.

Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of styles and personalities.” 

“We’re looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting stars.”

The undefeated Charlo (29-0, 21 KOs) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and his twin brother, Jermell, were super welterweight champions simultaneously between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.

The 29-year-old has proven to be just as dominant at 160 lliures tal com estava 154, with three convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, Jermell, and came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last December.

“Nobody knows Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” Said Charlo. “He likes to come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ estil. I’m going to exploit that. He’s a tough fighter and he deserves a shot at the world championship because he competed well at the championship level already.

“I’m going on two consecutive 12-rounders and I don’t feel good about that. I’m ready to get back to my thing, which is knocking them out and getting them out of there. This is a big fight for me because it’s my 30º fight and I’m about to turn 30.”

Hogan (28-2-1, 7 KOs) is coming off a razor-thin majority decision loss to Jaime Munguia in a super welterweight world championship match on April 13 in which many thought Hogan did enough to pull off the victory. The 34-year-old, who was born in Ireland and now lives in Queensland, Austràlia, is looking for a clear-cut victory over Charlo in his first U.S. fight since 2016. Hogan put together a six fight winning streak before the title fight against Munguia.

“I am excited for the opportunity to challenge for the most prestigious belt in boxing, the WBC Middleweight world title against Jermall Charlo at Barclays Center,” said Hogan. “It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting in Brooklyn on SHOWTIME against the undefeated middleweight champion. After the disappointment I faced in April in Mexico, having been cheated out of the WBO Junior Middleweight world title that I strongly feel I earned, I am extremely grateful to have another opportunity to become a world champion.

“As an Irishman, I feel right at home in New York and have no issue traveling abroad once again to achieve my dream. I have successfully competed at light heavyweight and middleweight as a professional and I will feel stronger with the extra six pounds on December 7. I’m thankful to Jermall and his team for working with my team to provide this opportunity. I will be prepared and ready to shine.”
