WASHINGTON, D.C. (Abril 20, 2016) - Austin Trout (30-2, 17 KOs), the former super welterweight world champion, is ready to collect his second world title on Sabado, Mayo 21 when he meets IBF Junior Middleweight world champion Jermall Charlo in a 12-round match live on Showtime (10 sa gabii. UG/7 sa gabii. PT) gikan sa Ang Chelsea, a one-of-a-kind 40,000-square-foot venue inside Ang Cosmopolitan sa Las Vegas.
“It’s my time,” said Trout. “My focus is amplified 10-fold. I’m the confident, happy Austin that fans know, but trust me, when it’s fight time I’m ready for any dogfight that comes. You’ll see Austin bring out and defeat the ‘Lion’ in him because at the end of the day I’m taking that belt.”
Ang mga tiket alang sa live event, nga gipasiugdahan sa Mayweather Promotions ug TGB Promotions, anaa sa sale karon. Tiket sa presyo sa magsugod sa $39, ug anaa sa internet sa www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000ug www.ticketmaster.com.
Born in El Paso, Texas and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Trout is trained by Barry Hunter and Louie Burke of Headbangers Gym in Washington D.C. Having started boxing at the age of 10, his natural talent and the ability to grow into the sport took Austin across the United States and Latin America in the amateur divisions and then into the pros. Known as one of the fiercest gentlemen competitors in the sport, he beat the likes of Miguel Cotto, Rigoberto Alvarez and Delvin Rodriguez, before losing his title to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Trout comes into Mayo 21 looking to claim a title in a division he’s been a true threat within for his career.
You’ve said you’ve been led to this fight, why is it important?
“Coming off of four consecutive wins, I’m not just on a comeback streak but I’m taking a full step forward. Charlo is the champ, this fight is about no more half stepping. It’s about taking on the best. Isn’t that what it’s about, being the best?"
How is camp going?
“I physically feel great. I’m really comfortable with Barry, it’s my fourth camp with the Headbangers team; Luis is there as well. Luis helps me with pre-camp and then I shift to D.C.
“I was already in D.C. getting camp started when the rumors about this fight came true. I had been at the gym at home for pre-camp for a month and a half before hitting D.C. I was working out five times a week, running every day just getting the program going. Ingon nga ako miingon, no half-stepping. I’m already sparring, doing the work, getting right. I’m not walking through it but running and trotting through it. Ako 30, I’m at my physical peak, my talent couldn’t be any better.”
Talk about the fight and what to expect?
“Neither one of us is going out without a fight, so I don’t see this being a boring fight. It’s time for people to remember me. I’ve earned this championship shot against an undefeated bull like Jermall Charlo but I will take his belt. "
Your first professional loss was against ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in San Antonio in 2013. What are your thoughts on that fight?
“I had a good, competitive fight with Saul – it felt like a unification bout – I was WBA champion and he was WBC champion. The open scoring was more detrimental to my game plan thea the judges! During the fight when I was told that I wasn’t winning on anyone’s cards I had to change my game plan. It was a dogfight. Canelo never had to box and move that much before in a fight.
"Apan, live and learn. Instead of walking into a fight like that I listened to those around me. No more surprises. This Charlo fight is a fight I want, a fight my team wants and we’re ready. I’m a more mature, focused champion who’s coming back. I’m dangerous – I have experience, talent and God on my side.”

In a rare showcase of the division’s elite, five of the top-six super welterweights* will square off live on SHOWTIME at 9 sa gabii. UG/6 sa gabii. PT. Venue and ticket information are forthcoming.
(*via Transnational Boxing Rankings)
Sa main event, Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara—the consensus No. 1 fighter sa 154 pounds—will defend his WBA Super Welterweight World Championship against U.S. Olympian and top contender Vanes “The Nightmare” Martirosyan diha sa usa ka rematch sa ilang 2012 bout that ended in a technical draw.
Brothers Jermall ug Jermell Charlo will look to make history in co-featured bouts as the first twins to hold world titles in the same division. Unbeaten IBF Super Welterweight World Champion Jermall faces his toughest test when he makes the second defense of his belt against former world champion Austin “No Doubt” Trout. Jermell will take on exciting contender Juan Jackson in a bout for the vacant WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.
The event is being promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions.
With five of the top-six ranked fighters on the telecast, ang Mayo 21matchups join an already stellar slate of recently announced boxing events on SHOWTIME. The super welterweights join the top fighters at featherweight, welterweight, super middleweight and heavyweight in a series of fights that features accomplished champions and young stars facing each other in the most significant divisional matches that can be made.
“This is yet another example of SHOWTIME Sports’ commitment to delivering the best lineup in boxing,"Miingon si Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Showtime Sports. “We’re featuring three important championship fights in one of boxing’s most intriguing young divisions – a tripleheader that will bring our 2016 tally of world title bouts to 14 – all free to SHOWTIME subscribers. We’re excited to offer this rare opportunity to see the top fighters in a division all on the same telecast.”

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. Sama sa usa ka amateur, Lara midaog sa daghang mga titulo lakip na sa usa ka national championship sa welterweight ug usab miapil sa 2007 Pan-Am dula. Ang fighter orihinal gikan sa Guantanamo, Cuba dominated Delvin Rodriguez in June of last year and followed that up with a third-round stoppage of former champion Jan Zaveck.
Natawo sa Armenia, apan nakig-away gikan sa Glendale, Calif., Martirosyannagrepresentar sa U.S. sa 2004 Olympics. Ingon sa usa ka propesyonal nga, 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. Nagpuyo sa Houston, Charlo nagtukod sa iyang resume sa 2014 with dominant triumphs over Hector Munoz, Norberto Gonzale, Lenny Bottai and Michael Finney. Sa iyang labing bag-o nga outing, he successfully defended his title with a fourth-round stoppage of Wilky Campfort in November.
Sa 2004, Trout won the U.S. National Amateur welterweight championship ug human pagsaka sa han-ay ingon nga usa ka elite pro boxer, siya midaog sa usa ka super welterweight nga kalibutan championship diha sa 2011 pinaagi sa pagpildi 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. Usa ka tag-as nga manggugubat alang sa iyang division, 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. Ang St. 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.
