IBF Cruiserweight World Champion Murat Gassiev (24-0, 17 קוס), WBC World Champion Mairis Briedis (22-0, 18 קוס) as well as former IBF / אלוף WBC & IBF top-ranked challenger Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (53-3-1, 37 קוס) will all participate in the revolutionary global knock-out tournament, with five more elite fighters to be confirmed shortly. The winner will receive the GREATEST prize in boxing, the Muhammad Ali Trophy.
Boasting a combined record of 99 נצחונות ו 3 losses along with 72 קוס, Gassiev, Briedis and Wlodarczyk can´t wait to get in on and write history.
It is an honor to be in the World Boxing Super Series,” said Gassiev, who holds the IBF title. “This is the best fighting the best. I have never lost a fight, I am the IBF champion and I look forward to winning the other belts as well to cement my position as the best fighter in the division!”
WBC Champion Briedis is also thrilled to participate. “This is the Champions League of boxing and I am going to prove that I am the world´s best cruiserweight,” הוא אמר. “The competition will be tough, but to be the best, you have to beat the best.
וולודרצ'יק, IBF לשעבר & WBC Champion who now occupies the number one spot in the IBF rankings, is equally confident of success. “I will stamp my authority on the division by beating the best cruiserweights out there and winning the World Boxing Super Series,” he stated. “There is a reason the winner gets the Muhammad Ali Trophy. He was the Greatest of all time, and the winner of this tournament has the right to call himself the greatest cruiserweight of our time.
יום שבת will mark the first anniversary of Muhammad Ali´s death. Roberto Dalmiglio, Comosa´s Head of Management Board, paid tribute to the GREATEST of all time. “Nobody will ever forget what Ali has achieved,” הוא אמר. “He was the GREATEST of all time because he defeated the best opponents out there. The World Boxing Super Series is all about the best fighting the best, and that is why we named the trophy after him.
With three high-profile signings confirmed and many more to come, the stage is set for an exciting tournament. “The quest for the Muhammad Ali Trophy has officially begun and we are thrilled to welcome two unbeaten world champions and a top-ranked challenger, who is a former champion, to the World Boxing Super Series,” Dalmiglio said. “They have accepted the ultimate challenge to determine the best cruiserweight in the world.
עונה 1 of the World Boxing Super Series will feature the cruiserweights and super-middleweight divisions. In each weight class, eight top fighters will battle out a bracket-style elimination tournament. There will be four quarter-finals (ספטמבר / אוקטובר 2017), two semi-finals (מוקדם 2018) and one final (מאי 2018), which makes for a total of 14 high-class fights. “We have received a massive amount of applications for both divisions,” said Kalle Sauerland, Comosa`s Chief Boxing Officer. “The best fighters are lining up to be in the tournament. Just like the fans, they love the format and the fact that there will only be one man standing at the end.
ריצ'רד שייפר, Comosa`s Chairman of the Americas, הוסיף: “We promised you the biggest names and champions in the divisions and here we are delivering. More names will follow shortly. We simply can’t wait to get the action started!”
The quarter-final pairings will be determined during the Draft Gala in Monaco in early July. In each weight class, the four top-seeded boxers (which will be determined by the Comosa Board) will select their quarter-final opponents from the four unseeded boxers. Once the pairings are set, the exact fight dates and venues will be announced. Details about the participants in the super-middleweight division will be revealed shortly.

Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, אמר יום שני:

 

דמטריוס אנדראדה

 

Reflections of Muhammad Ali:

 

“Muhammad Ali certainly shook the world, and not only in boxing. He was colorful; nobody talked like him. He helped boxers, מדי. Ali is the reason Floyd (Mayweather, ג 'וניור) is who he is because Ali set the bar high.

 

“As an entertaining boxer, Ali brought blacks and whites together and later he spread the word about religion, culture and his other diverse interests.

 

“What young boxer didn’t do the Ali Shuffle? I know I did, and taunted my opponents like him, מדי. "

About Pros in the Olympics:

 

“I’m for pros in the Olympics as long as an amateur, who has a few Olympic trials, has the first opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. Coming up in the amateurs, I fought grown men, some who had been Olympians a few times. הייתי 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, כוח ומיומנות. לרוע המזל, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.

 

“Would I go the Olympics now? כן! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, כן, I’d do it now for the chance to win gold. But I do think headgear should be applied in amateur boxing, including the Olympics.”

On the 154-pound division:

 

“I’m putting myself in the best position to fight for the WBO or WBC title. There are rumors of Canelo fighting (WBO champion Liam) נַפָּח. Let me fight Smith and the winner gets Canelo. Or let me fight Canelo with the winner getting Smith.

 

“I’m going to knock out the Charlo twins. Both guys have fought on SHOWTIME, so those fights shouldn’t be too difficult to make. Once I take care of business with the Charlo twins, I’ll fight Lara (WBA champion) to clean up the division.”

On Gennady Golovkin:

 

“I definitely want to fight Golovkin. Let me build myself up first, by cleaning out the 154-division, and then we’ll have a mega-fight with two different styles. GGG is known for his knockouts. I knock out people, מדי, but I’m a better boxer than him. It’ll be one of the biggest fights in the sport of boxing. I’m going to clean up the 154-division, make my reputation and then it’s a go with GGG.”

Relationship with his opponent Willie Nelson:

 

“We were in the U.S. amateurs together, but because we were in two different weight classes – he was 140-147 ואני היה 152 – there were no problems between us. We used to watch each other fight and watch other Americans box.

 

“Nelson is experienced having gone through the amateurs. He fought (סכינים) מרטירוסיאן, who I beat (for the vacant WBO title by 12-round unanimous decision). He’s fought at this level. I know he’s tall, but I’m 6-foot-1, so our height difference isn’t serious.”

On returning to the ring:

 

“I’m pleased that we have this opportunity. SHOWTIME has given me this chance and now it’s up to me to prove I can backup what we said.”

Baltimore Boxing shares Muhammad Ali story; plans ceremonial 10 count June 16

muhammad-ali.jpg
לפרסום מיידי
בולטימור, MD (יוני 6, 2016) – In 1977, long before becoming a pro boxer, מאמן, gym owner, successful promoter and member of the Maryland and Washington DC Boxing Hall of Fames, Jake Smith was scheduled for his first amateur fight in Maryland.
The 12-year-old Smith was excited to fight in front of a crowd for the first time after spending a significant amount of time training in a local gym. The fight was on a card as part of a special charity event; an event hosted by legendary heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali.
לפני הקרב, Smith got to meet Ali. Inspired by the once in a lifetime encounter, Smith remembers every detail to this day and considers it one of the highlights of his life.
"Muhammad was a giant compared to me at that time,” Smith said of his interaction with the legendary Ali. “He told me good luck and to go out there and put on a show. It was my first fight but it was one of my best performances amateur or pro. I really beat the crap out of the kid I faced that night.”
מאוחר יותר באותו הערב, Ali participated in an exhibition against three different men as part of the evening’s fundraising efforts.
"Ali was a champion not just of the boxing world but of the people. He came out to Maryland when he was the most recognizable athlete in the world with the most coveted crown in sports, the heavyweight championship. A lot of guys wouldn’t do that and his willingness to help raise money truly showed me the kind of human being Muhammad Ali was.”
ב יוני 16, Smith’s company Baltimore Boxing is hosting their next card at Michael’s Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD. The card is headlined by a heavyweight title fight featuring rising star Stefon “Showtime” McCray against Milton Williams.
במהלך הערב, Smith and Baltimore Boxing will pay respects to Ali with a ceremonial ten count and their upcoming show in August will be dubbed “Rumble Young Man Rumble” in his honor.
"Ali is more than a once in a lifetime figure. He’s somebody that will never be replicated at any time in the rest of history. It’s only fitting that we honor him with a ceremonial ten count. It’s unlikely that Ali remembered me but knowing that the greatest of all time was watching me in the ring that night is something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.”
Tickets and more information on the card are available by going to Baltimoreboxing.com or calling 410-375-9175.

“הגדול ביותר” Muhammad Ali regularly trained at 5ה St. חדר כושר

Through the years 5th St. Gym photo gallery below

(pictures courtesy of Tom Tastas and 5t St. חדר כושר)

חוף מיאמי (יוני 8, 2015) – The new 5ה St. Gym is carrying on the rich boxing history established there in 1950 by the famed Dundee brothers, Chris and Angelo.

 

Known throughout boxing as the world’s most famous gym, 5ה St. Gym became a major attraction for boxers, international celebrities and tourists alike, originally due to presence of a rising star training there, קסיוס קליי, ש, כמובן, went on to become The Greatest, מוחמד עלי.

 

Hall of Famers and future inductees have trained at 5ה St. Gym over the years, including Joe Louis, רוקי מרציאנו, כרמן Basilio, ארצ'י מור, וילי פפ, רוברטו דוראן, לנוקס לואיס, ריי “בום בום” מנצ'יני, מייק טייסון, ברנרד הופקינס, רוי ג'ונס, ג 'וניור. and so many other ring greats.

 

Others who have been part of the 5ה St. Gym experience are actor Matt Damon and comedian Dave Chappelle, in addition to elite athletes such as Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Lebron James, Green Bay Packers future Hall-of-Famer Julius Peppers and former UFC great George St. פייר. 5ה St. Gym’s history also includes legendary celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Sean Connery, Jackie Gleason.

 

5ה St. Gym fell on hard times at one point but a revitalization started in 2009, thanks to new owners Tom Tsatas and Dino Spencer, who re-opened the gym at its original location on 5ה and Washington in Miami Beach.

 

ב 2013, 5ה St. Gym moved from its original location of 63 שנים, לְסֵרוּגִין, when CVS took over the property and forced the gym to move to its present location at nearby 1434 Alton Road.

 

We’re slowly getting back,” Spencer explained. “We’ve only been reopened since 2010 and in our new location since 2013. We have new people – מאמנים, manager and fightersand offer unique opportunities for up-and-coming professional boxers. You can’t catch passes from Tom Brady but boxers can train here every day with champions and contenders. There are also ultra-successful people here who can teach boxers about how to be successful outside the ring. We’re creating an environment at 5ה St. Gym to give young boxers every opportunity to succeed.

 

Wildcard Gym (לוס אנג'לס) is the No. 1 spot today but, on this side of the country, fighters from all over the world are coming here to train. Brian Jennings trained here for his fight with (Wladimir) Klitschko, Manual Charr trained here for his last fight, Anthony and Andre Dirrell have trained here, (סרגיי) קובלב, מדי. They get elite sparring here for their training camps. Some come here with their coach, others have me train them.

 

A lot of boxing managers are here every day like John Seip and Charr’s manager was hanging out here, מדי. למעשה, he’s interested in signing a fighter he saw at our gym. People from Warriors Gym are here a lot looking for young talent. These people can make a difference in a young fighter’s life. Fighters are getting exposure here before they ever get to fight on TV. We also have great weather and all the amenities of South Beach. It’s only a matter of time before we’re back on top at No. 1.”

 

Times have changed and today the heart and soul of 5ה St. Gym beats strong once again with world-class boxers training alongside supermodels Adriana Lima, Alessandra and Nina Adgal, as well as Grammy winner Cedric Gervais, just to name a few of the more notable non-boxer members working out there on a regular basis.

 

שוב, 5ה St. Gym is the training mecca for world champions, top contenders and promising prospects. למעשה, Seip discovered gifted Italian boxer Daniele Marco Scardina at 5ה St. Gym and signed him to a professional contract.

 

Newly-crowned International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight champion James DeGale, pictured here with 5ה St. Gym owner Dino Spencer, trained at 5הSt. Gym for his recent title-winning performance against Andre Dirrell, who has also trained at 5ה St. Gym in the past, בבוסטון. DeGale sparred with the gym’s top amateur southpaw, Niko Valdes, to prepare for Dirrell. DeGale won a unanimous 12-round decision over Dirrell to become the first Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain to capture a major world title as a professional boxer.

 

Four years ago,” Seip הסביר, “I moved my managerial company to Miami from New York City. It had become very difficult to find solid sparring in New York City, where boxing gyms were closing due to the demand for high rents. The 5th St Gym has grown back into a big time professional boxing gym. I house all my fighters in Miami and they all train exclusively at 5th St. Gym for boxing and conditioning. There are pros who fly in from other countries to prepare there for fights. The atmosphere is incredible and professional boxers, heavyweights to featherweights, spar there three or four days a week. בואו נודה בזה, sparring is like a classroom and it’s pivotal for pros to prepare and learn. The teachers at 5ה St. חדר כושר — דינו ספנסר, Guy Laieta and Louis Perezare all top rated. It’s also a fun place to hang my hat. You cannot beat Miami weather for training, either.
