A technical master, Lara is considered one of the toughest men to beat in the sport and will look to continue his reign at 154 pounds against the always-game Martirosyan, who is set on becoming a world champion on his second try.

 

The 25-year-old Charlos are aiming for history against stiff opposition from a former champion in Trout and the Olympian from the Virgin Islands in Jackson.

 

The 32-year-old Lara is a slick boxer with the ability to deliver punishment while taking very little of it in return. Lara has notched victories over Alfredo Angulo, Austin Trout, Ishe Smith and Freddy Hernandez. Kòm yon amatè, Lara te genyen tit anpil ki gen ladan yon chanpyona nasyonal la nan wèltèr ak te patisipe tou nan la 2007 Jwèt Pan-Am. Avyon de gè nan orijinal soti nan Guantanamo, Cuba dominated Delvin Rodriguez in June of last year and followed that up with a third-round stoppage of former champion Jan Zaveck.

 

Li te fèt nan Ameni, men batay soti nan Glendale, Kalifòni., Martirosyanreprezante U.S lan. nan la 2004 Olympics. Kòm yon pwofesyonèl, he won his first 32 fights before fighting Lara to a draw in 2012. The 29-year-old suffered a narrow defeat by split decision in his first world title shot against Demetrius Andrade, but has rebounded with solid victories over Mario Lozano, Willie Nelson and most recently Ishe Smith.

A newly crowned champion at 25-years-old, CHARLO grabbed his title with a dominant third-round stoppage of Cornelius Bundrage in September 2015. K ap viv nan Houston, CHARLO bati moute rezime li nan 2014 with dominant triumphs over Hector Munoz, Norberto Gonzale, Lenny Bottai and Michael Finney. Nan pwomnad ki pi resan l 'yo, he successfully defended his title with a fourth-round stoppage of Wilky Campfort in November.

 

Nan 2004, Trout won the U.S. Nasyonal Amateur wèltèr chanpyona ak apre k ap grenpe moute ran yo kòm yon elit pro boxer, li te genyen yon super mond chanpyona wèltèr nan 2011 pa bat Rigoberto Alvarez. He went on to make four successful defenses, including a career-best, dominant victory over Miguel Cotto in New York. He is currently on a four-fight win streak after knocking out Joey Hernandez in September to set up his world title opportunity.

 

Younger-by-one-minute than Jermall, Jermell CHARLO is a highly ranked young fighter looking to get one step closer to a world title shot. Yon avyon de gè wotè pou divizyon l ', the 25-year-old earned his shot at a world title with victories over Gabriel Rosado, Charlie Ota and Mario Lozano in 2014 and Martirosyan and former world champion Joachim Alcine in 2015. He impressed last time out by disposing of Alcine in the sixth-round of their fight in Houston in October.

 

Since representing his native Virgin Islands in the 2008 Olympics,Jackson has put together an impressive pro career. St a. Thomas-born fighter won his initial 13 fights after making his debut in January 2009. The 27-year-old earned the No. 1 spot and the title shot with a shutout victory over Dennis Laurente in August. Jackson comes from a fighting family; his father John David Jackson was a world champion and feared power-puncher while his brother, Julius, is a contender in the 168-pound weight class.

Chotim chanpyona boksè® World Title Doubleheader

Viv sou chotim® (11 p.m. AK/8 p.m. PT) soti nan
Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT

NEW YORK (Avril 7, 2016) – The boxers who will be fighting Samdi, Avril 16 on aChotim CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® world title doubleheader are deep into their respective training camps as they continue preparation for their bouts at Kazino Resort Foxwoods nan Mashantucket, CT.

 

Nan evènman an prensipal, ap viv sou Chotim® (11 p.m. AK/8 p.m. PT), the talented and speedy southpaw Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 Ko) makes the first defense of his WBC Featherweight World Title against Irish contender Patrick Hyland (31-1, 15 Ko). In the SHOWTIME co-feature, unbeaten sniper Jose Pedraza (21-0, 12 Ko) risks his IBF 130-pound world title as he defends his title for the second time against a mandatory challenger, Stephen Smith (23-1, 13 Ko).

 

Russell, who won the 126-pound title with a fourth-round knockout over defending champion Jhonny Gonzalez sou Mas 28, 2015, trains in Washington, D.C.

 

Hyland, whose only loss suffered was to WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Javier Fortuna, has been training at a gym in Dublin, Iland, owned and operated by his trainer, Paschal Collins, whose older brother Steve was a former two-time WBO world champion. Paschal Collins also boxed as a pro but is best known for being Irish heavyweight Kevin McBride’s head trainer during his shocking knockout of Mike Tyson.

 

The switch-hitting Pedraza, yon 2012 Pòtoriken zolenpik, has been working out in his native Puerto Rico. Smith, of Liverpool, Angletè, has been training in the UK.

 

Below is what the confident boxers had to say with less than two weeks to go before their major fights:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR., WBC Plum Mondyal Champion

(On Training Camp)

“I’ve been in camp in Washington, D.C. for about eight weeks. I suffered the head butt before my November fight but I have been able to train this whole time and returned to sparring eight weeks ago. It’s been a really long training camp but I’m ready to go. This is the hardest part. Fighting is easy, but the preparation before the fight is where the hard work comes in. Being out of the ring so long is difficult, but it’s part of the business. Everything happens for a reason and I’m just really keyed in mentally.”

 

(On fighting Patrick Hyland)

“Hyland is going to come in there to win. You have to have that confidence to get in the ring. He’s preparing himself, but the question is, will it be good enough? I highly doubt it. We don’t take anyone lightly and we prepare to the best of our abilities. Everyone in the ring can pull off the upset. That’s why I have to be prepared to the fullest.”

 

“He’s not really a pressure fighter so I might have to take the fight to him. He’s long and rangy and he tries to keep his distance. He’s not a big puncher but he definitely has the ability to steal a fight.”

 

(On the fighting Russell family)

“My brother Antuanne made the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team in the 141-pound division and he has a chance soon to qualify for the games with a tournament in Azerbaijan. My other brother Antonio is going to be on my undercard as well. Within my family we’re actually the first set of four brothers to all win the National Golden Gloves. That just goes to show the level of coaching we get from our dad, to have a world champion, two Olympians and four National Golden Gloves winners. We’re trying to leave a legacy in this sport. We’re all very similar in temperament and attitude. We all want to be world champions.”

 

(On dealing with injuries)

“I’ve never had a fight where I was 100 pousan. There’s always been something going on. I have had hand injuries since the beginning of my career but we have creative ways to handle that and preserve my hands. Dwa koulye a, Mwen santi mwen gwo. I just have to pick my shots more, but that’s where the speed becomes a factor.”

 

(On possible future opponents)

“If I can get by Hyland, I want to fight the winner of the Lee Selby vs. Eric Hunter fight and unify titles. After that I’d like to see Leo Santa Cruz and take care of that. Then I want another crack at Vasyl Lomachenko. I don’t care what weight Lomachenko is at, I’ll follow him. He has to see me.”
PATRICK HYLAND, Plum Contender

 

(On Training Camp)

“I’ve been training at Celtic Warriors Gym in Dublin since before Christmas because I had a fight here (Iland) sou Feb. 6 but pulled out when I got word that I was fighting on March 12 (a Mohegan Sun). When that fight was postponed, I took it easy for two weeks until the Avril 16show was announced. That’s when I started picking up training again. I’ve been training really hard and putting everything on the line to become WBC champ. We plan to arrive in the U.S. a week prior to the fight.”

(On fighting Gary Russell Jr.)
“To challenge a great champion, Gary Russell, Jr, is an honor for me. I think Gary is an awesome fighter with great hand speed and boxing ability. I’ve been working with Jono Carroll, an unbeaten Irish southpaw with good hand speed and good movement, who is ideal for what I have to work on to beat Russell.”

(On fighting again in the U.S.)
“I love fighting in the U.S. because there’s always a great atmosphere at the fights and it’s the real home of boxing. I’ve met friends for life who I consider family from the Marlboro area (Hyland lived in Marlboro, N.Y., for a couple of years). They’ll be at this fight, as always.”

(On the fighting Hyland brothers)
"
My brothers are no longer fighting. Their last fights were on the same show, Jan. 28, 2012 nan Atlantic City, which I headlined in (against Emmanuel Lucero). My older brother, Edward (“Pride of Tallaght”) fought at super featherweight. He runs his own Boxing Club in Dublin. My other brother, Paulie, was a former European and Irish super bantamweight champion. He is back doing a bit of training. No other members of our Hyland family were in professional boxing. I’m hoping we’re not the last, menm si, as I’ve got a few nephews and my own son now. One day they might lace up the gloves.”

Jose Pedraza, IBF Super Featherweight World Champion

 

(On Training Camp)

“I am currently training in the Municipal gym in Cidra, P.R., where I took my first steps in boxing. I decided to train here because it feels like home and I can feel the warmth of my people and I am able to set an example for those who are starting out in boxing as well.”


“My training started in December and it is divided into two sections (morning and evening). During the morning portion we work on all of the specifics of boxing, including gloving up in addition to physical training lasting about three and a half hours. For the evening portion of the training I run. Two days a week it is track training and four days of the week it is distance running for about two hours in the evening, making it a total of about five and a half to six hours of work daily.’’

(On his diet)

“Actually, thank God, I do not have a strict diet and can eat all varieties of foods. I am doing really well with weight and I just reduce portions in the evenings during the final stages of the camp to meet the required 130 liv. That’s why I do not miss any foods. My favorite foods are steak and other grilled foods. After the weigh-in I prefer the pastas my mom makes. She always prepares three different kinds for me.’’

 

(On his team)

“My team is composed of Mr. Luis Espada (trainer-manager), Francisco Flores (conditioning and track trainer), Andres Melendez (fòs ak kondisyone) ak doktè. Hector Santos (cutman and spiritual director). I’ve been with my trainer, who is my father, pou 14 years ever since I threw my first punch. I haven’t made any major changes since I became champion. I’ve remained the same humble young man from a small town. I just push myself more to reach the bigger fights in the five categories from 130 to 154.”

 

(On his challenger Stephen Smith)

“I have seen some videos with my team of his fights and I can see that he is a boxer with a lot of resources who utilizes hooks to the body just as much as to the head. He is strong but something that works in my favor is that he is a come-forward fighter. He can handle 12 rounds comfortably. I hope on fight night I can neutralize all of his abilities and get the victory. I wouldn’t doubt if the win came by a KO anywhere from the sixth through the eighth round.’’

(Plans for his future in boxing)

“There are conversations about going up to 135. I’ve been at this weight since 2007; my body is demanding for me to go up to 135. Eventually my aspirations as a boxer are to be able to make boxing history not just in Puerto Rico but in the world. I want to go up and be the champion in five categories.”

“First and foremost I would like to face Francisco Vargas; he’s a seasoned boxer and is strong with a lot of rage. He went to the Olympics like I did in 2008 and he became a champion in what could be considered the fight of the year for 2015, very dramatic. It would be the Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry. Another fighter who I would like to face is the champion Javier Fortuna. He is simply just a loud mouth with a poor memory (or selective memory) but I’ll send him a note to look up what happened in boxing history during the Roman Cup 2006 nan Repiblik Dominikèn. I’ll leave it to him as an assignment.’’

 

(On his inspiration and role models)

“My biggest inspiration is my family. It is they who always, jou apre jou, are there supporting me as my No. 1 fan. I am a pro-family man and my family is my engine with God as my strength. Together they inspire me to carry the responsibility on my shoulders of doing my best in and out of the ring.’’

 

“Floyd Mayweather. He is an intelligent boxer and his abilities distinguish himself. He also works and trains very hard and puts in the gym time. He’s a man of his word and he invests 100 percent to each in his training camps and knows how to manage his fans as well. So many fans would like to see him win and just as many like to see him lose, but people just want to see him.’’

 

STEPHEN SMITH, IBF Pa gen. 1 Super Featherweight Contender

 

(On the significance of this matchup)

“All fights are important but this one is especially very important for me to win so that I can get back to where I was in the division.’’

 

(On finally getting a crack at the world title)

“I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity, but the timing couldn’t be better. I’m excited to get the opportunity to win the world title live on Sky Sports in the UK and on SHOWTIME in America.’’

 

(His views of the defending champion)

“Pedraza is a good fighter with a good amateur background and he’s not a world champion for nothing. He can box from either stance but I am confident of winning. I wouldn’t expect it to be an easy fight. It’s a world title fight, it’s meant to be tough. I’m preparing for the best of him; I don’t think he was at his best last time out against (Edner) Cherry.

 

“He could have lost that fight, but he got the win and he’s going to look to show he’s better than that. We’ve covered all bases as far as sparring for whatever way he comes out, and I think I have the game plan to beat him.

 

“It’s not like he’s looked at me and thought ‘he’s an easy fight– he has no choice if he wants to keep his title. I think this fight has happened at the right time for me. It’s dragged out a bit but I’ve got a good head on my shoulders and I think that everything happens for a reason. My last outing was a career-best performance and I think that this has come at the right time.’’

 

(On his strategy)

"(Trainer) Joe Gallagher is as meticulous as anyone when it comes to preparing to face someone. Pedraza’s a lot more aggressive from the orthodox stance, but we’ve studied everything and we’re really confident. The gym is still going strong; we were gutted for Scott Quigg as we know how much he gives in the gym for each fight. Spirits were down for a bit but big fights keep coming round, and now I have my fight.”

 

(On answering the critics who said he’d never fight for a title after his 2011 defeat to Selby)

“Because I had such a successful amateur career, I think that big things were expected of me. I had a bit of bad luck with injury, the loss to Selby set me back, but that was more from people writing me off. Lee is world champion now so there’s no disgrace in that, but people were saying after that fight that I wouldn’t fight for a world title. It can be a fickle sport at times but I’ve come back stronger and I think I will prove a lot of people wrong in America.’’

 

(Sou his fighting brothers, Pòl, Liam and Callum)

“The family is doing great things, but it’s just something that we all set out to do when we started boxing so it’s not really come as a surprise to us. We work hard every day and we’ve hit the goals we’ve set ourselves; Liam is world champion, Paul has boxed for the world title twice, Callum is on the verge and I box for a world title soon. Four brothers fighting for world titles is a massive achievement but for us, it’s not enoughwe want to win them. I think it’s very achievable for us, Paul is back tonight and he’s looking for another shot, so it’s realistic to say that three of us will box for world titles this year.’’

 

(On making his U.S. premye)

“The training is the same but there’s more pressure and more media attention on this one as it’s the big one. I’ve never boxed in the states myself but I’ve been over there with Paul and Callum, and anyone who has brothers that box will tell you it is worse when they are fighting than when it’s your own fight. I know what to expect over there and I’m going to embrace it and soak it all up.”

"Sa a se mwayen poul viv mwen ak mwen jwenn reyèl emosyonèl ak sa a. Si ou pa pran emosyon nan li Lè sa a, ki jan ou menm pral genyen? Mwen te oblije mache pwòp chemen mwen.

Anthony Jozye:

"Mwen kwè mwen pare pou genyen tit mond lan. Yon anpil moun te di ke sa a ta ka twò bonè pou mwen, ke mwen te mòde plis pase mwen ka moulen, Men, kounye a dwa m 'yo grate ak mwen jis vle jwenn nan la epi montre mond lan sa mwen ka fè.

 

"Lè pwomotè mwen Eddie Hearn rele m 'leve, li di' Èske ou vle goumen Charles Martin pou tit la Mondyal pwa loud?'Mwen jis di: 'Se pou woule'.

 

"Opòtinite knocks epi ou gen yo louvri pòt la. Mwen resevwa fòmasyon ak prepare kòrèkteman epi mwen pare pou sa. Pa gen okenn vire tounen. Mwen jis anbrase li.

 

"Nou te wè opòtinite a lè Martin te rele m 'soti. Mwen te tankou, 'Ok Mesye. IBF rele m 'soti.' Champ la IBF rele soti Champ Britanik la. Mwen te gen chanpyon an pwa loud nan mond lan rele m 'soti di li vle goumen m'. Mwen di fre. Ann wòch ak woule.

 

"Nan fen jounen an, Se pou nou dezabiye tit la pwa lou epi kite a gade nan advèsè a mwen ap fè fas. Charles Martin se yon sid ki ka bwat epi ki moun ki ka kout pyen yon ti jan.

 

"Fè fas a yon Southpaw toujou vini ak ang diferan ak ke trik nouvèl diferan. Mwen pa ka ale nan enpridans paske ou ka fasilman jwenn vann san preskripsyon trou. Se poutèt sa bòks enpòtan epi ki gen yon kan siksè enpòtan. Mwen konnen mwen te fè tout sa mwen kapab pou prepare tèt mwen pou li.

 

"Ann akeyi Charles nan twou lyon an. Li ap vini nan O2 la - sa a se tè stomping mwen an. Lè mwen goumen isit la li nan elektrik epi li pral yo dwe yon atmosfè etonan, pi bon an ankò. Li pral enteresan yo wè ki jan li okipe li. Ki sa ki yon nwit li pral si mwen ka leve ki senti anwo tèt mwen.

 

"Pafwa ou te mete talan sou yon bò ak fouye gwo twou san fon. Sa a se jwèt la batay; Ou te pwouve ke nan tèt ou ke lè taktik yo pa ap travay, Ou te oblije fouye yon ti jan pi fon, ale nan lagè epi jwenn yon fason pou pou genyen. Se sa mwen te panse lè mwen te goumen Dillian (Whyte). Sèten bagay yo pa t 'travay, Mwen te kouri yon ti jan, Mwen pa t 'nan zòn konfò mwen an, Men, mwen fouye gwo twou san fon mwen te jwenn yon fason pou pou genyen e mwen te fini nwit la la nan yon pentch espektakilè.

 

"Apre mwen fè biznis la ak Martin, yon batay ak (Tyson) Kòlè se 10 oswa 12 mwa lwen — bay li manch biznis li nan (Wladimir) Klitschko rematch.

 

"Mwen jwenn kòlè yon ti jan enèvan yo dwe onèt. Tout eksantrik li yo travay pou li, Mwen ta kwè, Men, mwen pa ka tann pou goumen l '. Li te gen anpil di sou mwen, Epi li ap vini soti nan menm nèg la ki te chante fè lwanj mwen lè mwen te chire avè l 'lè mwen te yon inisyasyon konplè.

 

"Kòm tan ale sou, Li pral vin pi mal pou lòt moun yo paske konfyans mwen ap grandi, Mwen pral antrene, aprann epi pran li nan bag la.

 

“David Haye? Pote li sou. Kè mwen di m 'mwen pare. Mwen nan nivo chanpyona kounye a. Apre mwen jwenn Martin soti nan wout la, David se yon non masiv ak lè nou 're pare pou jwenn li sou li pral yon gwo batay. "

Isit la ki sa Selby ak Hunter te di pandan Semèn Goumen:

 

LEE SELBY:

 

"Mwen pral mete sou yon pèfòmans devastatè ak klinik. Mwen pral pran batay la pou li. Ou pral wè pwenson mechanste ak vaksen abi, Se konsa, chasè pi bon dwe pare.

 

"Mwen pral montre poukisa mwen se chanpyon nan mond IBF epi montre moun ki sa mwen ka fè. Si li vle kanpe ak goumen, Nou ka goumen. Si li vle bwat, Nou pral bwat. Mwen pa bezwen montre ki jan difisil mwen menm ak ke mwen ka gravye li soti, Paske mwen te soti-bwat tout moun mwen te fè fas. Sepandan, Li vle li mwen pa lide. Si ou wè m 'bòks chak jou nan jimnastik la, Mwen jis vle gen yon chire-up.

 

"Ou pa genyen batay tankou sa – oswa omwen, Mwen enstwi pa fè sa. Mwen te di bwat tout tan an, men lè li vini desann nan li, Mwen ta renmen gen yon chire-up.

 

"Mwen pa janm te gen fatra a ap pale ak nan peze-ins mwen pa janm te gen nenpòt moun ki nan figi m 'yo, Men, li pa pral afekte m 'nan tout. Li pa chanje atitid mwen yon ti jan.

 

"Mwen te gen yon ti gade nan l ', Wè style li. Li nan yon avyon de gè bon, Li se gòch, Chanje frape, gen pouvwa, Se konsa, li pral fè yon batay difisil.

 

“Eric se non mwen. 1 pwovokatè e li la pou yon rezon. Li pral ban mwen yon tès reyèl men se sa mwen bezwen.

 

"Goumen devan fanatik Britanik se atmosfè ki pi bon nan boksè. Se te yon rèv pou ale nan Amerik pou defann yon tit mondyal, Men, li se yon rèv defann li sou tè lakay yo devan 20,000.

 

"Te gen kèk avyon de gè gwo rele m 'soti. Carl Frampton te pale de mwen apre dènye batay li, Josh Warrington te rele m 'soti yon anpil nan fwa ak Leo Santa Cruz te mansyone m', twò. Gen anpil opsyon men mwen te vini nan yon sèl sa a.

 

“Warrington pap janm rive nan nivo mwen. Li te fè tout bagay mande l ', li te genyen tout tit yo mwen vid, Epi li se yon batay ki ta ka fè touswit si li vini nan pwochen batay li yo ak mwen vini nan m 'yo. Warrington chita pale sou mwen anpil, Epi li se yon batay mwen ta definitivman enterese nan ak si nou tou de genyen batay pwochen nou yo. Petèt li pral rive, Epi li ta yon gwo batay. ”

 

Eric Hunter:

 

"Selby se yon moun kap kouri, Nou konnen li se yon moun kap kouri, Li bwat ak kouri ale. Li pa te reyèlman goumen nenpòt moun ki ankò. Li bat Evgeny Gradovich, ki moun ki pa te reyèlman te menm bagay la depi li te goumen Billy Dib. Li jis te mache pi devan ak men l 'leve.

 

"Mwen te rated pa IBF la pou tan ki pi long lan. Mwen te rated pi wo pase Lee Selby lè li te goumen Fernando Montiel ak lè li te resevwa Gradovich.

 

"Pa dwe entelijan oswa bwòdè, Men, mwen pa janm wè l 'goumen. Mwen pa janm tande pale de l 'jouk batay la Gradovich. Se avèk batay sa, Mwen panse ke Gradovich te genyen men Selby te resevwa desizyon vil la. Li bwat byen. Li kouri trè byen tou.

 

"Mwen ka ajiste. Mwen ka goumen. Mwen kapab bwat. Mwen te resevwa pi bon footwork. Mwen ka frape. Mwen ka fè kèk bagay ke li pwobableman pa kapab.

 

"Mwen eksite sou batay devan tout moun sa yo. Li ban mwen chans pou montre konpetans mwen yo. Yo pral wè yon nouvo chanpyon IBF.

 

"Mwen pa bezwen pou pou genyen yon lagè nan mo, Mwen pral montre sa mwen ka fè sou nwit la la. Mwen renmen fanatik yo London, Mwen gade pou pi devan pou vini sou la epi ki montre yo sa mwen kapab fè. "

NEW YORK (Avril 6, 2016) - Chotim Espò® presents its latest installment of a year-long salute commemorating 30 years of Chotim chanpyona boksè® with “Fights of the Year” in April on SHO EXTREME®.

 

The fourth round of a 12-month tribute will be highlighted by four of the most rousing and unforgettable fights in boxing history:

  • Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I - 1994 Ring Magazine Fight of the Year (Round 9 earned Round of the Year honors)
  • Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia Mwen - 1999 Ring Magazine Goumen pou Ane a (Ayala earned Fighter of the Year honors)

  • Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr. - 2014 Boxing Writers Association of America Fight of the Year.

 

The four celebrated battles will air on “Throwback Thursdays” all month at 10 p.m. AK/PT on SHO EXTREME and are available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, Chotim nenpòt lè® and via the network’s online streaming service. Each fight will be wrapped with brief context and commentary from SHOWTIME Sports ring announcer and International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Lennon Jr.

 

Below is the schedule of SHOWTIME EXTREME premieres for the month of April:

  • Jedi, Avril 7: Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I
  • Jedi, Avril 14: Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr.
  • Jedi, Avril 21: Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I
  • Jedi, Avril 28: Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia I

 

Castro-Jackson I (Dec. 10, 1994, Castro KO 9) –Castro, thoroughly battered, bloodied and losing by a wide margin, rallies from the absolute brink of defeat to score three knockdowns in the ninth round to overcome Jackson in one of the most dramatic turnarounds ever.

 

Ayala-Tapia I (Jen 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA bantamweight title by the scores of 115-114 ak 116-113 de fwa. Game On: As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala causing a momentary skirmish.

 

Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I (Me 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10)After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from de knockdowns in the 10th to stop Castillo in the same round (2:06) and etch his spot in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and lose a point for excessive spitting out of the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. He continued to unload and Castillo got nailed with a bundle of vicious punches. Moman pita, the ref stopped it.

 

Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr. (Avril 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11)Abloody slugfest, in which both fighters were knocked down multiple times,became an instant classic. Matthysse who went down in the second and fifth rounds, came back with a late-fight onslaught to wear down and drop Molina in the eighth, 10th ak 11th jij. The tremendous brawl was as brutal as it was exciting and more compelling to witness than anyone could have imagined.

The fighters were joined by Mayweather PromotionsFloyd Mayweather ak Leonard ELLERBE, Interbox’s Pierre Duc and SHOWTIME’s Stephen Espinoza as they spoke to the media about the exciting doubleheader taking place in the nation’s capital.
Isit la se sa ki patisipan yo te di Vandredi:
JACK BADOU
I’ll be ready for this fight. Bute is a very tough opponent. I have to bring my ‘Agame to win. Much respect to him, but he’s not leaving with my belt. Absolutely not. You can expect a very tough fight.
Bute is a much, much tougher opponent that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but I’m ready for him.
Bute’s fight against DeGale was one of the best fights last year. That’s the only reason he got this shot. He lost, but he looked good. Se te yon gwo batay. Avril 30 will be another great fight. And another loss for Bute.
LUCIAN bute
This is a great opportunity for me to fight again for a title. Mwen santi bon, I started camp six weeks ago. Sa ki pi enpòtan, I’m very healthy. Psychologically, I’m looking forward to becoming a world champion on Avril 30.
I respect Badou Jack. He is a great champion, yon avyon de gè gwo, men sou Avril 30, I will become a world champion again. I’m looking forward to it.
I will be the new champion. I am very confident. Mwen atann mwen li nan dwe yon batay trè sevè, but I am coming here to win.
I have a new team. They are changing some things in my work. My confidence is 100 pousan. I’m working every day very tough and I am confident that everything will be great for Avril 30.”
Floyd Mayweather, Prezidan an Mayweather Pwomosyon
This fight is about the best facing the best. I’ve seen Bute fight numerous times and he’s a very exciting and explosive fighter. Every time he goes out there and performs he gives 100 pousan.
Mayweather Promotions is about giving people the best and most exciting fights.
I commend Badou Jack for the way that he carries himself. He is a true gentlemen and that is what this sport is all about. He’s going to continue to make a name for himself in this sport.
PIERRE DUC, VP of Interbox
We’re very thrilled about this fight. For those of you who have not been exposed to Lucian Bute before, li se yon avyon de gè gwo. He’s been working extremely hard over the course of the last 6-12 months getting ready for a moment like this.
Bute has a very long history of fighting great fights and championship wars. Lucian will be ready for this.
Training camp is going astonishingly well. Lucian is usually more of a gentleman, so he will say he wants to do the best that he can, but I’m telling you that Lucian is going to be walking away with this belt. It’s going to be a fantastic and very exciting evening. Lucian will pull the upset on Avril 30.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive VP & Manadjè Jeneral, Chotim Espò
The one comment I will make about this event, other than to point out it features four of the best fighters in the division, is that it was quite possibly the easiest event to make out of all the events we made this spring and summer. That’s a credit to the promoters and especially a credit to all four fighters.
We didn’t just make two fights here. We’ve got the winners of these fights fighting later in the year in a unification match. To be able to make two fights very quickly and to get everyone on board with fighting the winners in a unification match with no mess, no politics, no arguments and no hesitation is an accomplishment.
These are four real fighters here and they were not afraid of a challenge, they didn’t hesitate at all. This is what the sport of boxing is all about. I personally can’t wait for April 30th and for a unification later in the year.

Patrick “Puniche a” Hyland Fighting For Irish Boxing History

Russell-Hyland, Pedraza-Smith Twin World Title Fights
Samdi, Avril 16 Viv sou chotim®
MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (Avril 4, 2016) – Always tough Patrick “Punisher” Hyland (31-1, 15 Ko) will be fighting for Irish boxing history Samdi, Avril 16 as he challenges WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 Ko) in the 12-round main event, airing live on Chotim soti nan Foxwoods Resort Casino nan Mashantucket, CT.
Nan Chotim chanpyona boksè® telecast kicks off at 11 p.m. AK/8 p.m. PT with undefeated IBF Super Lightweight World Champion Jose “Sniper” Pedraza (21-0, 12 Ko), nan Cidra, Puerto Rico, defending against mandatory challenger Stephen “Swifty” Smith (23-1, 13 Ko), fighting out of the United Kingdom.
Hyland is on the verge of joining a pair of exclusive Irish boxing clubs. The 32-year-old from Dublin is attempting to become the first Irishman to be world featherweight champion in 30 ane, since Hall-of-Famer Barry “The Clones Cyclone” McGuigan, in addition to being only the second IrishmanWayneThe Pocket RocketMcCullough stands alone right nowto ever wear the coveted green WBC world title belt.
McGuigan (32-3, 28 Ko), fighting out of Clones, captured the WBA Featherweight Title in 1985, taking a 12-round decision from Eusebio Pedroza, and he successfully defended his crown twice against Bernard Taylor ak Danilio Cabrera before losing by decision to Steve Cruz nan 1986.
The only other Ireland-born world featherweight titlist was Dave Sullivan (27-12-7, 18 Ko), who was born in Knocknanaff, County Cork, Iland, but fought professionally out of Boston, Mass. Nan 1898, Sullivan stopped Solly Smith in the fifth round to become world featherweight champion.
Belfast, Northern Ireland-product McCullough (27-7, 18 Ko), who was the WBC Bantamweight Champion in 1995-97, is the lone Irishman to ever be WBC World Champion in any weight class.
Just to be fighting for this title is an honor for me and to challenge a great champion in Gary Russell, Jr. is also an honor,” Hyland said from his training camp at Celtic Warrior Gym in Dublin. “To join great Irish boxing names is a dream come true for me. It will also mean the world to me to win this belt for my and family and, sa ki pi enpòtan, for my (an reta) dad, for all the hard work he put into me and my two brothers since I was eight years old. To look up and say, ‘Dad, we did it,’ will be the best feeling in the world.
Hyland has fought 10 times in the United States, including a 12-round loss to interim WBA featherweight champion Javier Fortuna in 2012. Hyland lived in Marlboro, New York for a few years when he was promoted by a company headed by then reality television star NicoleSnookiPolizzi.
I love fighting in the United States,” Hyland added. “There’s always a great atmosphere at fights there and the US is the real home of boxing. Snooki Boxing didn’t work out as planned, but they did a great job getting me the WBA title shot which was a great achievement in their first year in boxing. Malerezman, things didn’t work out after that fight, but I do have great respect for them. I met friends for life from Marlboro who I consider family and they’ll be at my fight as always.

(EDITORS NOTE: Due to a change in the bout order at The O2 in London, SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL is unable to provide live coverage of this bout.)

Martin VS. Joshua is the third of four heavyweight title bouts in five months sou chotim (see details below). The scheduled 12-round matchup is the toughest test to date for both Martin (23-0-1, 21 Ko) and Joshua (15-0, 15 Ko), two bombers who boast a combined 94 percent knockout ratio.

Selby (22-1, 8 Ko) vs. Hunter (21-3, 11 Ko) se dezyèm lan nan senk pwograme plum tit kriz nan 2016 (Detay anba a), Yon pwogramasyon ki montre anpil nan pi bon nan mond lan 126-Pounders vise inifye youn nan divizyon pwofon boksè a.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,"Te di Stephen Espinoza, Egzekitif Vis Prezidan & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”

“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”

“The O2 is going to be rocking on Avril 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”

“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Fernando Montiel, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”

“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”

The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martin, nan St. Louis, Mo, became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.

While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 segonn. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Zolenpik Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Kalifòni., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.

Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.

One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. Nan bout dènye l ', the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on Dec. 12. Koulye a,, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 epizod pwofesyonèl, in a bid to join Tyson kòlè as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.

Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. If successful, he will join an impressive group that includes George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis akWladimir Klitschko.

Li te fèt nan Barry, Wales, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich nan mwa me 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.

The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Ryan Walsh, Viorel Simon, Corey McConnell akStephen Smith. He has won 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.

Hunter, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Before turning pro, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Olympic team.

The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 kont Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco nan 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.

If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Leo Santa Cruz ak Gary Russell Jr. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 liv.

See below for quotes from DeGale as he prepares to face Medina:
I’ve never disrespected an opponent yet in the ring and I’m not going to start now. Medina has a very good record and that means he is as dangerous and the next man. This is boxing and unless you prepare properly you get found out. I’m not going down that avenue. I’m a winner and what I do is get in the ring and win. That’s what Medina is up againsta world champion and a winner.
I’m too good for him, twò vit, twò fò, too quick. I’ll beat him and it is just a question of how. I don’t care how it comes as long as I look good and I give the fans what they want, another winning performance and a reminder that I am the best super middleweight out there operating today.
I respect Medina, but I belong in a different level and I will show that on Avril 30.
I’m looking forward to it because this is another chance to show what I can do in America and it is also a mini-tournament. The winner of my fight faces the winner of Badou Jack and Lucian Bute and that means a world unification clash. I want to clean up the division and I have the opportunity to do that.
I think Jack will win, but I’ve been in the ring with Bute and I know how strong he is. He is a proper fighter and I would always give him a chance against anyone. I think Jack will be too good for him, but who knows? I hope it is Jack as I’ve already taken care of business against Bute, but I want to unify the titles and that means I will fight whoever is put in front of me.
I’ve no trouble fighting in the U.S. and never will. I would love to win again and take on the winner of Jack and Bute in London, but that is down the line. What I am concentrating on right now is the next person who is standing in my way and that is Medina.
I can’t wait to get back in action because I live for fighting. It is in my blood and I know that a win over Medina means a very lucrative fight with Jack or Bute. I’m in this to make me financially comfortable for the rest of my life but above all, I’m in it for the glory.
The day I became world champion was the best of my life, along with winning Olympic Gold, and I don’t want to be a world champion for a few months. I want to be recognized as one of the greats in the super middleweight division. That means win a title and defend it against all-comers, anywhere and everywhere.
