Mewakili negara asalnya, Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (15-0, 6 Biaya) telah dengan cepat menaikkan peringkat 130-pon, menghadapi kompetisi tingkat tinggi dalam yang pertama 15 perkelahian pro. Already established as a fighter with dazzling boxing skills, Colbert showcased his ability to fight toe-to-toe in his last outing, as he stopped hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda in round 11 of their December 2020 bentrokan. The 24-year-old turned pro in 2015 and beat three unbeaten fighters in his first eight contests. Prior to the Arboleda fight, Colbert scored a highlight-reel first round knockout against Miguel Beltran Jr. pada bulan September 2019 and a dominant 12-round decision victory over former champion Jezreel Corrales in January 2020.
“I’m very excited to be back in the ring on July 4 weekend,” kata Colbert. “I get to set off my fireworks on SHOWTIME the night before. We’re taking this one to Dignity Health Sports Park in California, but I know I’ll have my New York family behind me. This is just another day, another dollar. I have a job to do, and that’s to get the win by any means necessary, but I’m looking to dominate. I expect Nyambayar to bring his A-game though because he knows he’ll be in there with a monster. I may not be the biggest puncher in the world, but I know how to finish a guy and get him out of there, and on July 3 that’s exactly what I’ll be looking to do.”
The 28-year-old Nyambayar (12-1, 9 Biaya) won a silver medal representing his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics and now lives in Southern California, where he’s trained by John Pullman. Nyambayar ascended the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. He earned his first world title shot when he defeated former champion Claudio Marrero in January 2019, before dropping his championship bout against long-reigning WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. pada bulan Februari 2020. Ahead of his super featherweight debut on July 3, the WBC’s second-ranked featherweight Nyambayar most recently handed Cobia Breedy his first loss by scoring two knockdowns and eventually earning the decision in September 2020.
“When I got the call about this fight, I jumped at the opportunity,” said Nyambayar. “I can’t wait to compete. I was born for fights like this. I’m going to leave it all in the ring and give the fans a great show on July 3.”
Lahir di Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rivera (20-0, 13 Biaya) burst onto the scene in 2019 making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Baru-baru ini, Rivera stepped back into the ring to knock out Anthony Mercado in February of this year.
“I can’t wait to be showcasing my skills once again on July 3,” said Rivera. “Fernández will be bringing his A-game and that’s exactly what I want. My coach Herman Caicedo and I have been zeroing in on the best approach to this fight and I’m excited to execute it. Jon is a rough and tough fighter and probably the best fighter I’ve faced to this point and I’m looking forward to the challenge. I know that I will be fighting for a world title soon, so I’m just staying focused and disciplined until that time comes.”
The 25-year-old Fernández (21-1, 18 Biaya) enters this bout on a five-fight winning streak following his only career blemish, a decision loss to O’Shaquie Foster in 2018 pada tanggalShoBox: Generasi Baru. A native of Bilbao, Spanyol, Fernández will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on July 3. Fernández has been mentored by boxing great Sergio Martinez and will look to put himself back in position for a world title against Rivera. Dalam laga terakhirnya, Fernández knocked out Aristides Perez in the first-round of their February 2020 bentrokan.
“The fans are going to enjoy this fight with Rivera very much,” said Fernández. “Both of us are going to give our all in the ring for the opportunity to become a champion. This is the kind of fight that boxing is all about. Our division is full of great fighters, so you need to fight the best to be the best. My training is going very well and I believe that at this moment, I am in the prime of my career.”
A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (12-0, 5 Biaya) profesional pada 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olimpiade. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. Dalam outing terakhir, Hitchins scored a career-best victory, as he earned a decision over former world champion Argenis Mendez. Hitchins has increased his competition in winning 10-round decisions in his last three fights.
“After my last fight in December, I got right back in the ring and have been training and tweaking things to help me really get to that star level,” said Hitchins. “I’ve always had the tools, but people are just now recognizing my talents. Each opponent has brought something different out of me, and I plan to keep rising to the occasion and putting on a show for the fans.”
Harga (17-1, 10 Biaya) returned to the ring in April to knock out Saul Corral in the fifth round. His previous outing had come in December 2019 when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to take a TKO loss against Malik Hawkins in a fight Price led on the scorecards. Berasal dari St. Louis and now fighting out of Houston, Price was a standout track and field runner at Grambling State University before turning pro and winning his first 16 perkelahian.
“Every dream has a process and a price tag,” said Price. “Those who embrace the process and pay the price, live the dream. Those who don’t, just dream. I can’t wait to get back in the ring on July 3 and put on a great performance.”

Penantang Kelas Menengah Matt Korobov dan Ronald Ellis Clash
di Acara Co-Main; Meningkatnya Prospek Super Ringan Richardson Hitchins Hadapi Mantan Juara Dunia Argenis Mendez di Pembukaan Telecast
NEW YORK – November 20, 2020 – Dua petarung top di divisi 130 pon akan bertemu saat Juara Kelas Bulu Super WBA interim yang tak terkalahkanChris "Primetime" Colbertmenghadapi pukulan kerasJaime Arboledadalam acara utamaSHOWTIME BOXING: EDISI KHUSUS Hari Sabtu, Bulan Desember 12 di 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT langsung di SHOWTIME dari Mohegan Sun Arena di Uncasville, Conn., dalam acara yang dipersembahkan oleh Premier Boxing Champions.
Judul tiga, awalnya dijadwalkan untuk November 28, akan melihat pesaing kelas menengahMatt KorobovdanRonald Ellisbertarung dalam acara co-main 10 ronde dan fenomena super ringan yang meningkatRichardson Hitchinsmenghadapi ujian terberat dalam karir mudanya saat ia menghadapi mantan juara duniaArgenis Mendezdalam pembuka siaran 10 putaran. Acara ini dipromosikan oleh TGB Promotions dan Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez dipromosikan bersama oleh Mayweather Promotions.
Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire awalnya dijadwalkan berlangsung pada bulan Desember 12 tetapi ditunda setelah Oubaali dinyatakan positif COVID-19.
“Acara utama ini pada bulan Desember 12 akan mengadu dua talenta paling menarik dari divisi 130-pon yang sedang naik daun melawan satu sama lain saat Chris Colbert yang sangat terampil menghadapi Jaime Arboleda yang kuat dalam pertarungan yang tidak boleh dilewatkan,”Kata Tom Brown, Presiden TGB Promosi. “Acara co-main akan melihat dua penantang kelas menengah Matt Korobov dan Ronald Ellis yang ingin menunjukkan bahwa mereka berada di antara elit divisi., sementara pembuka SHOWTIME menampilkan prospek menarik Richardson Hitchins melawan Argenis Mendez yang selalu tangguh dalam pertarungan besar. Ini adalah tiga pertarungan seimbang yang seharusnya menjadi drama nonstop di malam pertarungan.”
Mewakili negara asalnya, Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 Biaya) telah dengan cepat menaikkan peringkat 130-pon, menghadapi kompetisi tingkat tinggi dalam yang pertama 14 perkelahian pro. Petenis berusia 24 tahun itu mengalahkan petinju yang saat itu belum terkalahkan, Austin Dulay, Titus Williams dan Antonio Dubose, semua dalam delapan pertarungan pertamanya sebagai seorang profesional. Di 2019, Colbert menambahkan empat kemenangan lagi ke penghitungannya, termasuk KO ronde pertama yang eksplosif dari veteran Miguel Beltran Jr. Baru-baru ini, Colbert memenangkan gelar sementaranya dengan menjatuhkan mantan juara kelas bulu super Jezreel Corrales dalam perjalanannya ke keputusan bulat di bulan Januari 2020 bentrokan.
“Saya sangat bersemangat untuk membuat debut panggung besar saya di acara utama,” kata Colbert. “Sudah lama kamp, tapi pelatihan berjalan dengan baik. Saya ingin menampilkan performa yang dominan, dan saya mencari KO jika ada. Jika saya bisa mendapatkannya, itu akan sangat bagus. Saya tahu Jaime akan datang untuk bertarung. Dia ingin ikat pinggangnya sama buruknya dengan saya ingin mempertahankan ikat pinggangnya. Semuanya akan turun ke stamina, cincin IQ dan siapa yang memiliki keinginan lebih besar untuk menang. Saya merasa seperti saya orang untuk pekerjaan itu. Tidak mungkin aku menyerahkan sabukku untuk pertahanan pertamaku.”
Arboleda yang berusia 26 tahun (16-1, 13 Biaya) telah mengumpulkan enam kemenangan beruntun yang mengesankan menjelang pertandingan melawan Colbert, dengan lima kemenangan yang datang dari kejauhan. Lahir di Curundu, Panama, dan sekarang melawan Miami, Fla. Arboleda telah bertarung secara profesional sejak 2014 dan mencetak KO atas dua lawan yang saat itu tak terkalahkan di 2019, Victor Betancourt dan Jose Saant. Dalam laga terakhirnya, Arboleda, yang menempati peringkat keempat di divisi 130-pon oleh WBA, mengalahkan mantan penantang gelar dunia Jayson Velez dengan keputusan bulat untuk memenangkan pertarungan 12 ronde pertamanya Februari ini di SHOWTIME.
“Impian setiap petinju adalah memperjuangkan gelar dan menjadi pemenang tanpa meninggalkan keraguan,” kata Arboleda. “Itu adalah rencanaku untuk bulan Desember 12. Saya memiliki persiapan terbaik sepanjang karir saya. Saya merasa hebat, kuat dan cepat tidak seperti sebelumnya. Saya yakin ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang sangat menarik sejak ronde pertama.”
Korobov (28-3-1, 14 Biaya) kembali beraksi setelah kehilangan Desember 2019 bentrokan melawan Chris Eubank Jr. ketika ia mengalami cedera bahu yang memaksa pertarungan berakhir di ronde kedua. Korobov, siapa yang berlekuk? 300 menang sebagai amatir yang didekorasi, datang ke pertarungan itu dari hasil imbang mayoritas melawan Immanuwel Aleem, setelah memberikan pemberitahuan kepada divisi kelas menengah bahwa dia akan menjadi ancaman ketika dia kalah dalam keputusan yang sulit dari juara kelas menengah yang tak terkalahkan Jermall Charlo pada bulan Desember. Born in Orotukan, Rusia, and now living in St. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.
“I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,” said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. Tentu saja, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, and I am coming to show I am still one of the best middleweights in the world.”
The 31-year-old Ellis (17-1-2, 11 Biaya) will look to build off of his last outing, which saw him edge fellow contender Immanuwel Aleem by majority decision in December 2019. For Ellis, that fight got him back in the win column after his first career defeat, a majority decision against DeAndre Ware in March 2019. Lynn, Mass.-native is the older brother of welterweight Rashidi Ellis, and had an impressive amateur career including a 2010 National Golden Gloves championship capped off by a victory over Terrell Gausha.
“It’s time for me to show out on December 12,” kata Ellis. “Korobov had his chance against the top middleweights, and now it’s my time to take advantage of this opportunity and use a win over him to reach that level. We’re working hard in San Diego sparring with Canelo Alvarez so that everything is perfect and I’m at my best on fight night.”
A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 Biaya) profesional pada 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olimpiade. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. Hitchins scored four victories in 2019, before debuting in 2020 with a decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba. In his first two 10-round bouts as a professional, the southpaw has scored decisive unanimous decisions.
“I don’t overlook any opponent, but I believe I have a better and sharper skillset than Mendez,” said Hitchins. “I have all of the intangibles to become a world champion. That’s often mistaken as being cocky, but it’s really just me believing in myself more than anyone else. Saya akan menganggap pertarungan ini serius seperti saya melakukan pertarungan lainnya dan terus melakukan apa yang saya lakukan untuk selangkah lebih dekat ke perebutan gelar itu.. Berada di kamp bersama Floyd Mayweather dan Gervonta Davis, Saya telah belajar banyak. Saya merasa seperti saya harus meningkatkan kompetisi. Mereka benar-benar mendorong saya untuk menjadi petarung yang lebih baik.”
Mantan juara kelas bulu super, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 Biaya) memiliki reputasi untuk memberikan tantangan berat untuk olahraga terbaik dan telah terbukti menjadi pesaing yang tahan lama di 140-pon. Di 2019, Mendez berjuang untuk hasil imbang berturut-turut melawan pesaing super ringan, pertama melawan Anthony Peterson di bulan Maret dan kemudian melawan Juan Heraldez yang tidak terkalahkan di bulan Mei. Lahir di San Juan de La Maguana, Republik Dominika, Mendez sekarang bertarung melawan Yonkers, N.Y.. dan memiliki kemenangan atas Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach and former titlist Miguel Vazquez. He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.
“I’m facing a young prospect who’s hungry for success, but I’m hungrier today than I’ve ever been in my career and I have the experience to go along with it,” said Mendez. “I’m also extremely motivated for this fight, which isn’t good news for Hitchins. When fight time comes on December 12, you’ll witness an intelligent but more aggressive Argenis Mendez.”
