3 Point Management signs 13-0 Russian Middleweight Petr “De Chirurg” Khamukov

Laat een reactie achter

LOS ANGELES (April 24, 2025) -3 Point Management (3 PM) has announced the signing of undefeated Russian middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov (13-0, 6 KO), one of the most accomplished Russian amateur boxers, een exclusieve bestuurlijke overeenkomst.

Now residing in Woodland Hills (ZOALS), Khamukov is a promotional free agent who is trained by Danny Salazar. Khamukov had 350 amateurwedstrijden, 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 PM. His last fight was last May, in which Petr stopped Esau Herrera de la Cruz (21-16-1) in de derde ronde.

“I saw the situation at 3 PM,” Khamukov explained why he signed with 3 PM. “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 Point Management (3 PM)  stable of gifted boxers including WBA & WBO Cruiserweight World Champion/Ring Magazine No. 1 rated Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KO), former WBC World Light Heavyweight Champion/WBC No. 4 rated Oleksandr “Nails” Gvozdyk (20-2, 16 KO), world super flyweight title challenger/WBO No. 1 rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (14-1, 9 KO), WBA #4 rated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (14-0, 12 KO), former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 KO) and German junior welterweight Simon “Saucy” Vollmer (7-0, 3 KO).

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 PM. 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.

“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 van TGB Promotions. “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,”Zei Sampson Lewkowicz van 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 KO) 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, Californië, 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,'Zei 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 KO) 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, waaronder een 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. Prior to turning pro in 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. Olympisch team.

“I’ve done everything I could to get here, and it’s a testament to what my foundation represents – going the distance,” said 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. Nu, 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 het co-main event van 10 ronden, 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 KO) 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 matchup.

A native of 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 tegenstanders.

“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 KO) 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. debuut in april.

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

“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. Op maart 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.

Fighting out of Phoenix, Arizona, García (16-1, 13 KO) 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,”Zei 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.”

Een lid van de 2012 U.S. Olympisch team, Gausha (24-4-1, 12 KO) werd geboren in Cleveland, Ohio maar vecht nu uit 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 wereld titel gevecht.

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, having fought former champion Austin Trout to a draw in 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,Zei Gausha. “I’m always working and staying ready for any opportunity. Op maart 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” to launch May 11th 4-fighter, 1-night super middleweight tournament “Rumble at the Rink” at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, MA

“Granite Chin Box Off” to launch May 11th

4-vechter, 1-night super middleweight tournament

“Rumble at the Rink” at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, MA

poster.jpg

QUINCY, Massa. (Maart 26, 2024) – Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) has announced the launching of its innovative one-night tournament, “Granite Chin Box Off,” on Saturday night, Mei 11, featuring a quartet of throw-back super middleweight fighters from New England headlining the “Rumble at the Rink” pro boxing card, at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, Massachusetts.

The quartet of super middleweights will fight in three-round bouts (4th round of sudden death if needed in case of a draw) early in the evening and the two winners will advance to the five-round main event (6th round of sudden death in the event of a draw) to determine the champion of what promoter Chris Traietti plans to be an annual tournament, which has been sanctioned by the Massachusetts Boxing Commission.

All four fighters are aggressive and gutsy who come to fight, which translates into a memorable evening for fans.

“This tournament has been an idea I have been flirting with since 2021,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. “I didn’t want to pull the trigger on it until I felt as though I had some of the initial concerns worked out and I had the right four guys. It has all come together now! There is no combination of fights with these four that won’t be action-packed right from the opening bell. This is something Granite Chin plans to do annually, so once this inaugural tournament is complete, we will assess it to see if any improvements are needed to get one ready for 2025. Thank you to the fighters for their passion in being part of something special like this and the Massachusetts Commission for all its help in navigating me to getting all the safety issues addressed and handled so it could be sanctioned.”

Here is a breakdown of the four “Granite Chin Box Off” challengers:

James "Pitbull" Perkins (13-1-1, 9 KO), Lynn, MA

Perkins is the pre-tournament favorite based on his pro record and quality of opposition. A gravedigger during the day, Perkins suffered his lone loss last August to Steve Sumpter (9-0, 7 KO), losing an eight-round majority decision for the vacant IBA America Super Middleweight Championship.

“I’m really looking forward to this event. I’ve always wanted to fight in a tournament because I never fought in the Golden Gloves or any amateur tournaments. I decided to turn pro after my sixth amateur fight. It’s even better that the event is being held at a hockey rink because I grew up my whole life playing hockey. I started skating at two years old and played all the way through high school (St. Mary’s of Lynn).

“I’m prepared to deal with whatever comes at me. I know who all the fighters are, but I know Clark a lot more than the other fighters. Me and Clark have fought on the same card a number of times. I like Clark and he’s a tough guy, but if we end up in the ring together, it will be all business. We won’t be friends when we are in there. At the end of the night, I’m very confident I’ll be the winner of the tournament.”

Anthony “The Gentle Savage” Andreozzi (5-3, 2 KO), Swansea, MA

A former Massachusetts Middleweight Champion, Andreozzi has recovered from a brutal leg/ankle injury suffered more than a year ago, returning this past February 24th within a second-round knockout of Igor Pessoa.

“It’s (toernooi) breaking boundaries for sure. It’s the type of tournament where emotional control will be important. You can’t blow your load in the first round of the first fight and still expect to succeed. I have a few hundred wrestling matches and over a dozen karate matches. I’m used to the emotional control necessary to effectively do violence twice in one night. Ik kan niet wachten!

“Ryan Clark is a great guy. We’ve done rounds before my fight with Kyle Cusick (April 22, 2022). Perkins went six hard rounds with a former teammate of mine. Bernard seems like a good dude, so nothing personal against him.”

Bernard Joseph (6-1, 4 KO), Dorchester, MA

Joseph has won his last two fights and has been active with four fights in 2023 and this will be his second of 2024. The 33-year-old will also have a hometown advantage fighting in nearby Quincy.

“It is different (tournament format), but it comes down to the way we train. I do a lot of sparring and that will be good for me. It comes down to training and getting my body used to the break like in sparring. I could be fighting four rounds and then six.

“I’m a pro now, fighting six rounders, but not with a long pause between fights like in this tournament. It will give me time to rehydrate and get ready for the second fight of the night. I’ve seen video of all the other fighters and I’m not bad-mouthing anybody, but I can’t not feel that I’m the favorite to win it all.”

Ryan Clark (4-5, 2 KO), Barrington, ME

A natural middleweight, Clark is moving up the most weight in the tournament, something he is well aware of but not overly concerned. Another action-packed fighter, Clark’s record is misleading because he’s as tough as they come and capable of defeating any of the other three challengers.

“It’s (toernooi) is a great idea. Chris (Traietti) is a smart guy, and this tournament will provide entertainment for the fans, and it’ll be a challenge for the fighters. I applaud his idea. I typically fight at 160 and this tournament has me fighting in a little bigger weight class. I like the challenge.

“I know Tony and Perkins and I respect them. They’re talented. Dit (toernooi) is similar to sparring. I spar five or six rounds, hang around talking, get in some other training, and then get back in the ring to spar again. This isn’t too different.”

Additional matches will soon be announced.

Kaart kan worden gewijzigd.

Deuren open om 6:00 p.m. EN, eerste aanval op 7 p.m. EN.

Coyle to defend NABA title December 11 in Orlando

Laat een reactie achter

Orlando, FL (November 7, 2022) – NABA middleweight champion Connor “The Kid” Coyle will defend his title against knockout artist Anibal Cleto Francisco in a battle of unbeatens Sunday, December 11 at the Caribe Royale in Orlando.

The card takes place during the WBA’s annual Centennial Convention, which is held at the Caribe Royale from December 11-14.

A native of Derry, Northern Ireland who trains out of Pinellas Park, FL Coyle’s 17-0 met 7 knock-outs. Coyle became the NABA champion this past May when he earned a hard-fought decision against Antonio Todd. He was slated to face Felix Cash October 8 in England but the entire card was cancelled after main event participant Conor Benn failed a drug test.

Hailing from Monte Plata, Dominicaanse Republiek, Francisco’s 10-0 met 9 of his victories coming by KO. On July 2, the 22-year-old stopped Yeison Gonzalez in the fifth round to capture the WBA Fedelatin title.

“After the disappointment surrounding the cancellation of Connor’s fight in England, we wanted to find a good opportunity,” said Coyle’s promoter Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. “The WBA Centennial Convention is a great event and Connor loves fighting at the Carribe Royale because he’s got a big fan base in Central Florida. He’s already back in the US preparing with Jim McLaughlin for this fight and is planning to put on a great show December 11.”

The card is promoted by Boxlab Promotions.

More information on the card including ticket and broadcast details will be announced shortly.

Turkish super middleweight prospect Cem “Champ” Kilic living the American Dream Headlining this Thursday in Montebello, ZOALS, steaming live on UFC FIGHT PASS

Laat een reactie achter
Kilic celebrating.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Maart 9, 2022) – What a long, strange trip it’s been for Turkish super middleweight prospect Cem “Champ” Kilic, part of a growing 3 Point Management (3 PM) stable, resettling in California from Germany despite the pandemic, to headline this Thursday night’s “Hollywood Fight Nights, gepresenteerd door 360 Promoties, at Quiet Cannon Country Club in Montebello, Californië.

The 27-year-old Kilic faces Andrew “Hurricane” Hernandez (21-8-2, 9 KO) in the 8-round main event, which will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®.


A member of the Turkish National Boxing Team, Kilic moved eight years ago from Germany to Sherman Oaks, Californië, where he still resides. A native of Germany whose family comes from Turkey, Kilic showed tremendous courage simply by relocating halfway around the world with a mere $200 in his pockets, as well as the inability to speak English other than a few words.


“I still spend a lot of time at home,” Kilic remarked. “During the pandemic, I lived with my family in Germany, and I have a lot of family in Turkey. It was very rough growing up. I had always dreamed of living in the United States from watching movies. I wanted to do something different. I’m a big fan of Hollywood movies. Muhammad Ali is my idol and that’s another reason I wanted to come here to box.


“I didn’t speak English when I first came to America, only basics, and nobody I met here spoke German or Turkish. but I learned English watching old movies and using Google translator. I learned quicky, hoewel, and was comfortable speaking English in six months. And now I live only 10-minutes from Hollywood.”


Kilic hit rock bottom after suffering his first loss January 11, 2020, naar 15-0 Steve Nelson in Atlantic City, in which his corner threw in the towel midway through the eighth round due to several facial cuts. The fight was for the vacant North American Boxing Organization (BUURMAN) titel. Cem took time off in the U.S. tijdens de pandemie.


“Everything was closed," hij legde uit. “I put on weight and become even more depressed. I let myself go after my first loss. My wife said I needed to get back in shape, so I watched a training video on YouTube and, at first, I couldn’t get through the warmup. But I slowly got in shape and that fueled my interest again in boxing. I didn’t have a promoter and I separated from my manager and trainer. I was trained by a friend and went up to Abel Sanchez’ place in Big Bear and got some good work. I sparred a lot of champions: Jermell Charlo, (Gilberto) ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez, Callum Smith, and David Benavidez.”


Kilic action.jpg
(L) Cem Kilic is a fighter’s fighter


A self-described aggressive fighter with a warrior mentality, Kilic says the late Arturo Gatti was one of his favorite fighters, who he emulates in terms of style. Cem has watched the Gatti-(Micky) Ward trilogy about 20 tijden, which led him into boxing as a career.

“I knew about Gatti, but I really got into boxing after watching his fights with Micky Ward,” Kilic fondly remembered. “They were so tough, and I love the way they fought. They were throwback fighters to the ’40 and ‘50s.”


The current Team Kilic was formed after his only loss. He is trained by 4-time, 2-division World champion Brian Viloria, in addition to being managed (3PM), which also manages 43-0 “Zurdo” Ramirez, the former World Super Middleweight Champion, presently the top-ranked World light heavyweight contender.


“I knew Brian and met him at Brickhouse,” Kilic explained. “One day I told my strength-and-conditioning coach I needed a new coach and asked him to talk to Brian about me. I liked Brian and knew he was a world champion with a lot of knowledge. We’ve only worked together for one fight, but I’ve improved in a lot of ways.


“I was waiting for an opportunity to sign with a manager and did with 3PM. The guys are great and I’m much more motivated than before. It’s been amazing.”


Kilic is prepared to display his development under Viloria and 3PM this Thursday night against Hernandez. “I can’t wait,” Kilic concluded. “He has fought some good names (Caleb Plant, Jesse Hart, Ali Akhmedov, Ahmed Elbiali, Patrick Teixeira, and Arif Magomedov). I always prepare to go the full distance. I never go into a fight looking for a knockout, but I look for openings.”


Cem “Champ” Kilic is truly living the American Dream, especially because of the support he has from his new team members.

LOS ANGELES (September 21, 2021) – Boxing’s consensus No. 1 pound-for-pond vechter, 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, November 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. Dit is wat de deelnemers aan de persconferentie dinsdag te zeggen hadden:

CANELO ÁLVAREZ

“You are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don’t want to fight now, Ik beloof je.

“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, but he’s not on my level. 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 PLANT

“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. Waar ik vandaan kom, 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? Oke. Mark my words, on november 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, is gebeurd. 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, letterlijk, to get here. It’s been a long journey. 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 van TGB Promotions

“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 Sport

“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.”

WBC Middleweight World Champion Charlo Faces Hard-Hitting Montiel in Special Juneteenth Day Celebration Saturday, Juni 19 Headlining a Premier Boxing Champions Event Live on SHOWTIME®

Klik HIER Voor foto's; Krediet: Esther Lin/Showtime

HOUSTON – May 18, 2021 - Ongeslagen WBC wereldkampioen middengewicht 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, Juni 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 p.m. PT and feature rising lightweight contender Isaac Cruz vechten voormalig wereldkampioen Francisco Vargas in the 10-round co-main event. Kicking off the telecast, voormalig wereldkampioen Angelo Leo returns to take on Mexican contender Aaron Alameda in een 10-ronde super bantamgewicht Bout.

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

Charlo JERMALL:

“Juni 19, het gaat om vuurwerk. A parade. A celebration. Me and Ronnie Shields get a chance to do it again. I’m working hard. I was working hard before I even knew who Montiel was. Deze keer, 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. Op dit punt, he understands where he’s at. This is a big fight. 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, rechts? I want to see those big fights, ook. 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. Nothing. 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. Maar, ja, tot op heden, 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. Maar als niet, 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. Ik ben jong. 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. Ik voel geen enkele druk, 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 mededinger. 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. Tickets zijn nu te koop bij 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 DOMINERT MARIE-EVE DICAIRE, MAAKT GESCHIEDENIS ALS DE EERSTE BOKSER DIE ONBETWISTE KAMP IN EEN TWEEDE GEWICHTSVERDELING WORDT GEKROON

Laat een reactie achter
ONDEFEATED STAR CITES JUNI IN LAS VEGAS VOOR HAAR MMA-DEBUUT; ROEPT KATIE TAYLOR EN SAVANNAH MARSHALL OP IN POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW

(Vrijdag, Maart 5, 2021 - Flint, MIJN) Superster van vrouwen Claressa Shields bevorderde haar claim als bokswedstrijd 'GWOAT' vrijdagavond en werd de verenigde WBC, WBO, IBF & WBA Super Junior middengewicht wereldkampioen, door een eenzijdige unanieme beslissing van 10 ronden te scoren Marie-Eve Dicaire van St-Eustache, Quebec, Canada, in het 10-ronden hoofdevenement van de historische all-women’s "SUPER VROUW: SCHILDEN VS. DICAIRE evenement in het Dort Financial Centre en live op pay-per-view in Flint, de geboorteplaats van Shields, Michigan.

Shields (11-0, 2 KO) werd ook de eerste bokser in het four-belt-tijdperk die een onbetwiste wereldkampioen werd in twee gewichtsklassen dankzij haar shutout-overwinning (100-90 door alle drie de juryleden) nu voormalig kampioen Dicaire (17-1).

Onkarakteristiek, de 25-jarige Shields veranderde al vroeg in dit gevecht tegenpuncher, om Dicaire's pogingen om binnen en buiten bereik te stuiteren te compenseren. Zich baserend op haar reflexen om elke poging tot agressie van Dicaire te bestraffen, Shields sloot de Canadese af en keerde later in het gevecht terug naar haar gebruikelijke voorwaartse agressie.

Dicaire landde in ronde vier een linkshandige linkshandige op Shields, mogelijk haar enige belangrijke klap van de strijd, en Shields schudde het gewoon zonder resultaat af.

Ik kan niet boos zijn op mijn prestaties,”Zei Shields na het gevecht. 'Ze bleef me maar ellebogen en kopstoten. Ik probeerde voor de knock-out en ik had het een paar keer bijna, maar we hebben twee minuten en de scheidsrechter maakt het niet uit als ze me vasthoudt en me een elleboog geeft. Ik ben blij, maar ik wilde nog steeds de knock-out. Ik had gewoon niet genoeg tijd. Aan het einde van de dag, Ik ben de nieuwe onbetwiste kampioen 154 en de eerste bokser die twee keer onbetwiste kampioen werd. "

Shields zei dat ze blij was dat ze haar laatste stukje geschiedenis had volbracht in het bijzijn van haar familie en vrienden in Flint, zelfs als de pandemie betekende dat er veel minder fans aanwezig waren.

'Met Covid, we zouden niet de volledige capaciteit kunnen hebben. Er zijn 300 hier en dat is de capaciteit van de dag, dus we hebben een vol huis. We zouden niet de volledige capaciteit kunnen hebben, maar ik weet of we dat konden hebben, we zouden hebben gehad 6000 mensen hier. Ik ben blij dat ik het hier heb kunnen doen (in Flint). Ik ben hier bij Berston Fieldhouse begonnen met boksen 11 jaar oud. Nooit in een miljoen jaar dacht ik dat ik op pay-per-view zou staan ​​en zou vechten voor een onbetwiste titel en een van de grootste sterren in het boksen zou zijn. Ik wilde gewoon een Olympische gouden medaille winnen. God heeft me twee Olympische medailles gegeven. ik heb 12 kampioensgordels nu. Het voelt niet echt om twee keer onomstreden te zeggen. "

Toen hem werd gevraagd naar twee van haar overgebleven rivalen in het boksen, mede-superster Katie Taylor van Ierland en haar eenmalige veroveraar bij de amateurs, Savannah Marshall uit het VK, Schilden vol vertrouwen.

'Katie Taylor is niet de zorg. 147 pond is. Ze zouden me veel moeten betalen om mijn kont te verliezen en naar beneden te gaan 147. Aan het einde van de dag, Ik ben een vrouw. Ik heb geen grote borsten, maar ik heb een mooie kont, dus kom met dat deeg en ik zal er zijn. Minstens een miljoen en ik zal er zijn.

"Savannah Marshall kan niet met mij neuken. Laten we keep it real. Savannah Marshall, je hebt een gelukkige beslissing gewonnen toen we kinderen waren. Ook Londen was gastheer van de Olympische Spelen. Als je me wilt verkneukelen over het verslaan van mij 14 wijst naar 8 ... kom op nu. En toen werd ik wereldkampioen in drie verschillende divisies en ze brak. Ze weet dat ze niet met me kan en zal kunnen neuken. Ze kan naar Amerika komen. Ik ga naar het VK. We kunnen naar Mexico gaan. We kunnen overal heen, en ik zal haar neuken. Dat weet ze. Ze is bang voor me. Savannah Marshall kan het krijgen. Vertel Eddie Hearn, hij kwam die mepper 250K. Zeg hem dat hij met 500K ... 750K moet komen als hij wil dat ik naar het VK ga om zijn meisje te roken. Betaal mij. "

Dicaire zette haar hoffelijkheid voort bij het stellen van vragen na het gevecht en beloofde het verlies haar toekomst in de sport niet te laten temperen..

'Ik denk dat Claressa het vanavond goed heeft gedaan,”Zei Dicaire. "Vanavond, zij was de beste. Soms win je en soms leer je. Vanavond, Ik leerde. Ik denk dat ik hierdoor alleen maar sterker kan worden. Ik bokst niet om mijn record te beschermen of om mijn record op te houden 0 verliezen. Ik bokst om kampioenen te verslaan. Vanavond, Ik had de kans om tegen de echte kampioen te vechten. Ze won deze keer, maar reken op me om terug te gaan naar de sportschool en hard te werken en zeker weer wereldkampioen te worden.

Shields, die zegt dat haar veel gepubliceerde MMA-debuut waarschijnlijk in juni in Las Vegas zal zijn, gooide 409 stoten in de strijd en landde 128 inclusief 34.9% van haar krachtige stoten. Dicaire gooide 263 stoten in ruil maar landde net 31.

“Flint Michigan heeft de slechtste bokser ter wereld!”Zei Shields tegen haar fans. “We zijn twee keer onomstreden. Pacquiao wie? Canelo wie? Laat het me weten als iemand anders doet wat ik heb gedaan. "



In de nacht van de co-main event, Houston is ongeslagen Danielle Perkins (3-0, 1 KO) toonde een duidelijke verbetering en had het veel gemakkelijker in haar herkansing tegen Georgia's Monika "Lay Em Down" Harrison (2-2, 1 KO), het scoren van een dominante unanieme beslissing van acht ronden tijdens het oppakken van het WBC Silver Heavyweight Championship in het proces.

De voormalige amateur-wereldkampioen Perkins gebruikte al haar superieure atletiek, 6'Hoogte en 72-inch reikwijdte om rond de ring te bewegen en de 5' 10 'Harrison op afstand te houden met een straffende linkshandige rechterprik en een vast dieet van sterke linkerhanden naar het hoofd en lichaam. Af en toe, Scheidsrechter Michael Griffin leek een onderbreking te overwegen, maar de duurzame Harrison bleef gedurende alle acht ronden naar voren komen en naar de hekken slingeren, ondanks de vuurkracht die haar kant op kwam.

De scores waren 80-72 van alle drie de juryleden.

'Het spijt me dat ik geen knock-out heb gekregen. Ik zweer het je de volgende keer dat ik terugkom en het aan jou geef, Vuursteen,”Zei Perkins, post-fight. “Monika heeft deze keer wat aanpassingen gedaan. Ik sloeg haar met een paar stevige hamers en dat meisje bleef rechtop staan, dus een pluim voor haar. "

Perkins gooide 353 stoten in de strijd en landde 121 inclusief 40.9% van haar power shots. Harrison gooide 273 schoten, maar vond er alleen een thuis voor 21 van hen.

“Ik wil de onbetwiste vrouwelijke zwaargewichtkampioen van de wereld worden,”Vervolgde Perkins. "Ik wil de beste zijn die je ooit hebt gezien."

Ongeslagen bantamgewicht Jamie “The Miracle” Mitchell (6-0-2, 43 KO) van Pacific Grove, Californië, zag er indrukwekkend uit in het mishandelen en stoppen van meer ervaren veteranen Noemi "La Rebelde / No-No ”-bossen (12-16-3, 2 KO) in vijf eenzijdige rondes.

Met de tweevuistenstraf van Mitchell die gestaag toeneemt met elke ronde, Scheidsrechter Gerard White besloot dat het struikelende en terugtrekkende Bosques er genoeg van had en wuifde het gevecht genadig uit naar 1:49 van de vijfde.

'Ik was net gezoneerd. Ik deed wat bij het moment paste,”Zei Mitchell, post-fight. "Dat is hoe ik de knock-out kreeg. Dank aan mijn coaches en dank aan Claressa Shields voor het plaatsen van mij op deze kaart. Dit is een onvergetelijk moment voor vrouwen. "

Voorafgaand aan het scoren van de technische knock-out, Mitchell is geland 48% (80/167) van haar krachtige stoten, en 40% (94/234) van haar totale stoten. Noemi Bosques is alleen geland 24 van 153 stoten.

“Ik vind het leuk om mezelf te beklagen om het beter te doen,”Zei Mitchell over haar optreden. 'Er waren bepaalde dingen die ik wilde doen, maar ze noemen dit meisje niet voor niets een poortwachter. Ik wou dat ik haar daar sneller had weggehaald en scherper was geweest met mijn prik. Ze was een beetje lastig. "

In de openingsfase van de uitzending, 2012 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar Marlen esparza(9-1, 1 KO) bleef bezig voor haar geplande uitdaging van WBC vlieggewichtkampioen Ibeth Zamora in april met een dominante unanieme beslissing van zes ronden over Canada'sShelly Barnett (nu 4-4-2, 2 KO).

Barnett probeerde agressief te zijn, maar Esparza's vaardigheden lieten haar toe om haar grotere tegenstander te potschieten, bijna naar believen, vooral naarmate de strijd voortduurde. 'We wisten dat ze stoer en groter was,”Zei Esparza. “Ik wilde iemand met meer gewicht omdat ik hierboven nooit vecht 112 lbs. en ik denk dat ik het goed heb aangepakt. Ik ben blij met de manier waarop alles is verlopen. Ik ben blij dat ik deel heb uitgemaakt van dit evenement en weer met Claressa kan samenwerken. "

Esparza gooide 352 stoten in de strijd, landing 126, inclusief 26 body shots en 38.4% van haar power shots. Barnett gooide 291 en landde 49. Scores van de jury waren 60-54, 6-53 X 2.

Op het gratis pre-show-gedeelte van de pay-per-view, middengewicht Timur Kerefov bleef ongeslagen (11-0, 6 KO) met een TKO 3 boven Sint-Petersburg, Manny Woods, veteraan uit Florida (nu 16-11-1, 6 KO). Woods linkeroog kon het niet verdragen onder de stoten van de Russische voormalige amateurster. De tijd was 1:06. Kerefov, Detroit via Shalushka, Rusland en traint nu bij Kronk Gym, gooide 190 stoten in de afgekorte ontmoeting, landing 80, inclusief 24 lichaamsschoten. Woods gooide 122 en net geland 17.

SUPER VROUW: SCHILDEN VS.
