Everything is good. I got right back in the gym after the last fight. When I watched the fight again, I could have done a little bit bit more, but he ran all night. Hopefully Goyco will stand and fight on Friday night,” said Ellis.

I still have a lot to prove, But I am a contender that is continuously climbing the rankings. I just need that opponent who will bring the best out of me. My plan is to get another fight on television after this one. I know Goyco is no pushover I have been training for and treat him like all of my other opponents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Den 28 year-old is looking forward to performing in front of the knowledgeable fight fans in Philadelphia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Philadelphia fans always knows when there is a good fight. There have been a lot of good fighters from Philadelphia, and they are real fight fans there. I am really excited to perform in front of them.

I’ve watched Callum fight many times. I study everyone in my weight class. He’s a good, solid fighter. We’re both big body punchers. It will make for an excellent fight.

Ellis Faces Fellow Undefeated Super Mellemvægt Prospect Junior Younan Næste fredag I Main Event Of ShoBox: Den nye generation

Fredag, Februar. 2 Live On SHOWTIME® At 10 p.m. OG/PT
Fra WinnaVegas Casino i Sloan, Iowa

NEW YORK (Jan. 26, 2018) – Undefeated super middleweight Ronald Ellis is preparing in Los Angeles for his main event matchup against fellow undefeated Junior Younan that headlines a ShoBox: The New Generation quadrupleheaderFredag, Februar. 2, live på SHOWTIME på 10 p.m. OG/PT from WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.

Ellis (14-0-1, 10 KOS), af Lynn, Mass., og Brooklyns Younan (13-0, 9 KOS) vil kampen i 10-runde main event af en fire-kamp telecast, der indeholder otte kæmpere med en samlet oversigt over 113-3-3.

Ellis, der nu kalder Los Angeles hjem, har arbejdet hårdt på Iron Gym under opsyn af Jerry Rosenberg og hans far Ronald Ellis Sr.

My camp has been solid. I have been getting good sparring. We have been training for Younan like he is any other opponent,” Ellis sagde.

I Younan, Ellis har en idé om, hvad hans fjende vil bringe til ringen på Februar. 2.

“Jeg ved, at han er en ung og ubesejret fighter,” sagde han. “I have been reading some things where he says he is going to bring the fight to me. He seems like he likes to talk a lot, men det betyder ikke noget komme kamp nat.”

Dette vil være den tredje ShoBox udseende til Ellis, as he is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision over Christopher Brooker last January. Ellis feels that his big fight resume will be the key against Younan.

“Min erfaring vil helt sikkert være en fordel,” Ellis sagde. “I have been here on ShoBox two times before. I will be relaxed and comfortable as we approach the fight. This is his first time. I expect him to be real hyper.

This is a natural progression for me. I went from fighting on the undercard of ShoBox, og nu er jeg den vigtigste begivenhed. En sejr vil få mig verden rangeret og forhåbentlig katapult mig ind iLørdag nat slagsmål på SHOWTIME Championship Boxing. Jeg ved, jeg kan ikke se frem. Jeg har brug for at vinde først.”
