The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will also feature undefeated junior lightweight world champion Jose “Sniper” Pedraza (22-0, 12 Kos) defending his title against up-and-coming Mayweather Promotionsundefeated contender Gervonta “Sá eini” Davis (16-0, 15 Kos).
I’m expecting a very tough fight from James DeGale,” sagði Jack. “But I’m very confident that I’m going to win the fight and become the unified champion. This is an incredible stage to be at Barclays Center and on SHOWTIME and I’m going to take full advantage of it. I’m ready to make my mark as the best in the division.
I am so happy that this fight has finally been made,” said DeGale. “This is the best fighting the best. Þetta er það sem box er allur óður í. Badou Jack is a very good fighter and he’s underrated. I am going to have to be 100 percent on my game to beat him, but I am confident I will deliver on January 14. I have already fulfilled my dream of becoming a world champion and now it is time to unify.
Davis is a great young fighter with an impressive record,” Said Pedraza. “He is a complete fighter and I am very happy to fight a challenger of his caliber. Hins, I do feel that Davis has been protected so I plan to really show off in this fight and perform at my best. Defeating Davis will be a great start to 2017, a year I would love to unify my division. I am thrilled to be back on SHOWTIME and look forward to putting on a great show for all those in attendance at Barclays Center.
I’m excited for the opportunity to fight a respected undefeated world champion like Jose Pedraza,” Said Davis. “I’m also ready to show the boxing world what I’m capable of doing.

He has the skills to be a fighter who carries the sport. He has a tough, undefeated world champion in front of him and I am looking forward to seeing him perform on Janúar 14. These are two evenly-matched fights that will bring a lot of explosive action to the ring on fight night, you don’t want to miss it.

Both Jack and DeGale retained their titles on SHOWTIME in April. Jack kept his belt via a controversial split draw against Lucian Bute, a match in which many thought Jack had prevailed, while DeGale defeated mandatory challenger Rogelio Medina. Both fighters were sharp; each landed over 60 percent of his respective power punches to set up this showdown for the top spot in the super middleweight division.
We’re looking forward to bringing our first boxing event to Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Janúar 14, when Badou Jack will face James DeGale in a world title unification bout live on SHOWTIME,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, Forstjóri Mayweather Promotions. “Badou has a tremendous work ethic and ability to stay focused and this has helped him get to where he is now in his career. He’s prepared to keep putting the hard work in to stay on top. Every time he was counted out, it just made him work harder. He’s proof that if you stay focused and dedicated to your craft, you can reach your dreams. I’m also eager to see Mayweather Promotionsown Gervonta Davis in his first world title fight. We believe there is a bright future ahead for that young man and this could be the first step on his way to a truly special career.
Boxing will return to New York in 2017 with a tremendous card at Barclays Center on Janúar 14 featuring two high caliber championship contests,” sagði Lou DiBella, Forseti DiBella Skemmtun. “With Badou Jack and James DeGale facing off, you have champion versus champion, the best fighting the best in what promises to be an action-packed battle in a super middleweight unification. Puerto Rico’s only world champion, undefeated Jose Pedraza, will defend his junior lightweight title against a hungry, heavy-handed challenger in Gervonta Davis.
Jack vs. DeGale is a terrific start to 2017,” sagði Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment. “I want to thank Floyd Mayweather for making this fight happen and to Lou DiBella for his continued support of BROOKLYN BOXING. In our fifth year at Barclays Center, we are committed to boxing more than ever before.
“Í 2016, SHOWTIME delivered more high-quality, competitive fights than any other network and 2017 verður ekkert öðruvísi. We’re thrilled to kick off the year with a true ’50/50unification fight between two world champions in the prime of their career,” sagði Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President og Almennur Framkvæmdastjóri, Showtime Sports. “Badou Jack vs. James DeGale is boxing at its besta matchup between the No. 1 – og No. 2-ranked boxers in the divisionthe right fight happening at the right time. And the Jose Pedraza-Gervonta Davis co-feature, which features two of boxing’s rising stars, could have been a main event on its own. There is no better way to begin the year, as well as our tremendous run of four separate SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING presentations over a seven-week span.
Jack, who fights out of Las Vegas by way of Stockholm, Svíþjóð, captured the WBC 168-pound crown with a 12-round majority decision over previously unbeaten defending champion Anthony Dirrelllast Apríl 24. A former amateur standout who represented Gambia in the 2008 Olympics, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Seven. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Jack was an underdog against both Dirrell and Groves before retaining his title. The 6-fótur-1, 33-year-old won four in a row leading up to his controversial draw against Bute in April.
DeGale won the vacant IBF belt in his U.S. debut last May by dropping Andre Dirrell twice on his way to a unanimous decision. The 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist from London then successfully defended it last November in a thrilling shootout with the hometown favorite and former titlist Bute. The 30-year-old, who’s only blemish came in a majority decision in his 11th bout against the then-unbeaten Groves, will make his fourth consecutive start outside his native England as he looks to become a global power and a unified champion at 168 £.
The switch-hitting Puerto Rican Olympian Pedraza backed up his “The Sniper” moniker against Andrey Klimov, picking apart the Russian with superior speed and accuracy on his way to a world title win last June. Pedraza earned a shot at the title in his previous bout with a career-best victory over former world title challenger Michael Farenas. The 27-year-old then went on to defend his title successfully against Edner Cherry last October and most recently against Stephen Smith in April. This fight marks the fourth consecutive time that Pedraza has fought on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.
A highly regarded prospect that won the 2012 National Hanskar úrslita, the 22-year-old Davis recorded five victories inside of the distance in 2015. The Baltimore native, who Floyd Mayweather has calledthe next big star in boxing,” kept his momentum going into 2016 as he recorded a sixth-round stoppage of Guillermo Avila in April and a first round knockout of Mario Macias in June. Davis enters his first world title showdown with seven straight victories by stoppage.

Melson to coach charity game; host boxing clinic for recovering heroin addicts

New York, NY (Október 23, 2016) – “The Rainmaker” Boyd Melson, a professional boxer and WBC U.S. Boxing Champion, Captain in the U.S. Army Reserve, Útskriftarnemi West Point, philanthropist, and humanitarian will serve as a coach in the Team Fight To Walk Celebrity Charity Basketball Game and is also hosting a special event to help young adults with addictions.
The game pits a celebrity team against the North Rockland Volunteer Firefighters and takes place Föstudagur, Október 28 at North Rockland Hills High School at 7 kl. Members of the celebrity team include former Super Bowl Champions Odessa Turner, Kevin Dockery and Brandon London all of the New York Giants. Other members of the celebrity team include former Giants running backs RJ Cobbs and Billy Taylor along with Harlem Globetrotter great Derek “The Wizz” Murphy.
Melson will coach the celebrity team, and all of the proceeds will benefit Team Fight to Walk’s efforts to cure Spinal Cord Injuries. Tickets can be purchased by going tohttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/team-fight-to-walk-celebrity-basketball-game-tickets-17808173727. Tickets to an autograph signing session will be available at the event.
Two days later, Melson is volunteering his time by organizing and running a boxing clinic for the charity Big Vision at Mendez Boxing Gym in New York City. Big Vision was established as a 501c3 Non-Profit with the mission of helping young adults with addictions. Big Vision conducts constructive events for their members to participate in pretty much on a monthly basis. These positive events, surrounded by other battling addictions, helps to serve as an escape from the environment that traditionally leads to drug relapses. This past May of 2016, Melson volunteered his time and conducted a boxing workshop for Big Vision at Mendez Boxing Gym.
Síðasta mánuð, Melson told Eve Goldberg, founder of Big Vision, that he wants to help again by conducting another boxing clinic at Mendez for them. Helping Melson with the event will be charismatic heavyweight contender Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller, WBC Women’s Champion Alicia “The Empress” Napoleon and Jose Guzman. The clinic will host 20-30 adults between the ages of 19-30. It will be approximately three hours and include a full workout, workshop, constructive events and motivational speeches. Goldberg, whose son passed away from an overdose, will provide a heartfelt speech to conclude the event.
“I’m extremely pleased to help two causes near and dear to my heart,"Sagði Melson, who returns to the ring Nóvember 19 and is donating his purse to help combat the heroin epidemic on Staten Island. “Raising funds and awareness is crucial for the clinical trial. The clinical trial I have fought and risked my life now for almost 6 years is on track receive its FDA approval here in the US sometime next summer. it is that close to happening here in our own country. In regard to helping human beings, especially young human beings, with their battle to overcome their addictions to drugs, I have chosen to take a highly proactive approach.”
“I came out of retirement to use my platform as a professional athlete to bring attention to the heroin epidemic in Staten Island specifically. It is not in my nature nor my character to stand by and do nothing to help fellow human beings when I believe I can help. Heroin seems to be the drug that is killing human beings at the greatest frequency, so that is where I am focusing most of my attention.”
“Staten Island is the borough that is being beaten down the greatest by heroin, and Staten Island is the only borough after Brooklyn that was part of my childhood. I had a meeting with the Staten Island DA last month to discuss bringing Big Vision to Staten Island. The DA shared that 74 people were reported as dead from heroin overdoses in Staten Island since January 1st, and I’ve joined the fight to do whatever I can do to keep former addicts clean while helping those with serious addiction overcome it. I have chosen to now put myself in harms way so that I can bring attention to this plague in Staten Island. I have chosen to literally fight for Staten Island. My family has a history of addiction and finding the cure for paralysis has been one of the most important things in my life for more than a decade.”

SWANSON COMMUNICATIONS FORSETI OG BUFFALO, KELLY SWANSON INN í NEW YORK INN Í BUFFALÓHRING 44 HNÍFAHALL OF FAME Á FÖSTUDAGINN, SEPTEMBER 23

(Vinstri mynd frá vinstri til hægri: Swanson ásamt áhugamannaboxara ársins Kristin McMurtree, box dómari & vígður Dave Moretti, fyrrverandi þungavigt & ráðinn Billy Tompkins & Bob Caico, forseti Buffalo Veterans Boxing Association; Hægri mynd: Swanson með fjölskyldu sinni)

BROOKLYN (September 26, 2016) – The Buffalo Veteran Boxers Association vígður Swanson Communications President Kelly Swanson inn í Hringinn 44 Frægðarhöll Buffalo Boxing á föstudaginn, September 23 sem hluta af þess 20th flokkur.
Swanson, ásamt fimm öðrum nýliðum, þar á meðal Dave Moretti, Billy Tompkins, Dummy Burns, Stan Myka og Pete Tamalonis voru heiðraðir á árlegum kvöldverði samtakanna og verðlaunaafhendingu á Ilio Dipaolo veitingastaðnum í Blasdell, NY
“Það er mikill heiður að fá viðurkenningu frá heimabæ mínum fyrir störf mín í hnefaleikum sl 20 ár,” sagði Swanson, Norður-Buffalo-ættaður sem hefur starfað við hnefaleika í yfir tvo áratugi, fulltrúi nokkur af stærstu nöfnum íþróttarinnar þar á meðal Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins og Riddick Bowe. “Ég er stoltur af því að vera frá Queen City og ánægður með að taka þátt í ótrúlegum flokki innleiðinga.
“Hnefaleikar eru tækifærisíþrótt og hún hefur opnað svo margar dyr fyrir mér. Ég hef notið þeirra forréttinda að vera með nokkrum af bestu bardagamönnum og vinna að nokkrum af stærstu viðburðum sem íþróttin hefur orðið vitni að á þessum tíma 20 ár. Ég man ekki tíma þegar ég elskaði ekki hnefaleika og ég hlakka til að halda áfram að kynna og kynna bardagamenn og viðburði í mörg ár fram í tímann.”
“Óskum Kelly til hamingju með heiðurinn,” Said Mayweather. “Við höfum verið saman í langan tíma, meira en 10 ár, og ég er ánægður með að hún fái viðurkenningu fyrir allt sitt frábæra starf.”
“Það er engin kona í þessum leik sem hefur afrekað eins mikið og Kelly,” Said Hopkins. “Hún er í efsta sæti hvað varðar auglýsingamenn og allir vita það. Ég hef verið með henni í 10 plús ár og hún gerði alltaf sitt besta og tók starf sitt alvarlega. Hún á ekki í neinum vandræðum með að segja hvaða bardagamanni sem er – frá tilvonandi til meistara – hvernig henni líður og hvað hún trúir á að muni ná árangri. Þessi heiður er vel verðskuldaður.”
Swanson vinnur ekki bara í hnefaleikum, en heldur áfram að taka þátt í íþróttinni á frítíma sínum líka. Hún æfir í hinu fræga Gleason's Gym í Brooklyn, húsaröð frá skrifstofu hennar í New York. Hún er einnig stjórnarmaður í líkamsræktarstöðinni “Gefðu krakki a Dream” program, sem býður börnum úr bágstöddum bakgrunni stað til að þroska sig líkamlega og andlega með hnefaleikum.
“Ég hef unnið fyrir Kelly í meira en átta ár og er enn að læra,” sagði Lisa Milner Goldberg, Varaforseti Swanson Communications. “Ég finn mig stöðugt í lotningu yfir hugmyndunum sem hún dreymir upp, sköpunargáfu hennar og tryggð við viðskiptavini sína. Hún á mjög skilið þessa viðurkenningu, sérstaklega vegna þess að hún er svo stolt af heimabæ sínum.”

MAYFIELD WANTS EYUBOV REMATCH: I WAS ROBBED!

Having had a week to consider his controversial decision loss to Kazakhstan’s Bakhtiyar Eyubov (11-0, 10 Kos), San Francisco welterweight Karim Mayfield says he’s not happy.
Fighting in the opening fight on ShoBox: The New Generation® last Friday, Ágúst 19, at Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, New York, Mayfield (19-4-1, 11 Kos) appeared to outpunch and outwork his unbeaten foe, especially in the last four rounds. Despite having the statistical advantageand winning in the eyes of the Showtime commentators, most of the ringside media, the fans in attendance and a worldwide outcryMayfield found himself on the wrong side of a 10-round split decision (95-94 twice for Eyubov and 95-94 for Mayfield) at the end of their exciting battle.
I’m pretty upset about it,” Said Mayfield. “I trained hard for that fight. I was finally able to get a normal eight-week camp to train and train for a specific fighter. I haven’t had that in a long time. It felt great to be that focused, but to get it stolen from me is not a good feeling. A lot of time fighters lose and think they won, but this isn’t like that. The public agrees I won. The commentators say I won. I was robbed. I’m not just thinking this. It’s true I was robbed.
Showing toughness, power and a high level of conditioning, Mayfield came on stronger and stronger as the grueling fight wore on. Despite the loss, it was a very impressive and career-rejuvenating performance against a foe who had knocked out all his previous opponents before the end of three rounds.
I do feel proud of my performance. I showed I belong on the world-class level. I’ve always been a good fighter. But I feel it is imperative I be given a rematch against Eyubov. I feel like this is unfinished business. I didn’t lose because of a lack of skill. I had this stolen from me.
Mayfield says if Eyubov won’t give him a rematch (he was non-committal post-fight), Showtime should have him back in a high-profile match-up.
I deserve to be brought back. I’ve beaten some good guys. Eyubov is just one. I beat Mauricio Herrera. I beat Francisco Santana. I beat them and they got big opportunities. Give me a fair shake! I’ll fight anybody if the paper is right.
