Briedis tegen Mikaelian & Glowacki vs Vlasov kwartfinales in Chicago nov 10

Laat een reactie achter

Seizoen I star Mairis Briedis vs. Noel Mikaelian en Krzysztof Glowacki vs. Maksim Vlasov zijn de twee kwartfinales op een ongelooflijke dubbele kop wanneer de World Boxing Super Series naar het UIC-paviljoen in Chicago komt, VS.

 

 

 

“Ik kijk er echt naar uit om te vechten in Chicago,”Zei Briedis (24-1, 18 KO). De Letse held is ongetwijfeld een van de favorieten om de Ali Trophy van seizoen II mee naar huis te nemen in de 200-lb divisie.

 

 

 

“Ik ben blij dat ik terug ben in de World Boxing Super Series, en ik kijk ernaar uit om te vechten voor een VS.. menigte. Ik weet zeker dat er ook veel Letten in de arena zullen zijn om een ​​fantastische sfeer te helpen creëren. "

 

 

 

De tegenstander van Briedis, Noel Mikaelian uit Duitsland (23-1, 10 KO), staat te popelen om op het grootste podium te spelen – slechts een split decision nederlaag, in een IBF-eliminator tegen Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, belette hem deel te nemen aan seizoen I.

 

 

 

“Er zijn alleen vechters van wereldklasse in dit toernooi, maar ik geloof dat mijn ring-IQ me de voorsprong zal geven om het te winnen,”Zei Mikaelian.

 

 

 

Het tweede hoofdevenement in Chicago in november 10 is een krachtige match tussen de voormalige wereldkampioen Krzysztof Glowacki van Polen en de Russische Maksim Vlasov.

 

 

 

'Het plan is simpel: Neem het allemaal, geef niets terug,”Zei Glowacki (30-1, 19 KO)

 

 

 

De spannende linkshandige vochten seizoen I-winnaar Aleksandr Usyk in 2016 - afstand doen van de WBO-riem 12 rondes, hij won de riem in 2015 via knock-out tegen Marco Huck.

 

 

 

“Ik heb lang op mijn kans gewacht, en ik ben vol kracht en grote energie. Ik ga dit toernooi winnen en weer wereldkampioen worden!"

 

 

 

Vlasov (42-2, 25 KO), een vechter met succes bij meerdere gewichten, gaat na de winst ook met veel vertrouwen de kwartfinale in 12 rechte gevechten sinds ze in gewicht zijn gestegen 2015.

TYSON FURY SUCCESSFUL IN HIS RETURN TO BOXING WITH TKO OVER SEFER SEFERI ON SHOWTIME SPORTS SOCIAL PLATFORMS FROM MANCHESTER, ENGELAND

Maurice Hooker Scores Split-Decision Upset Victory Over Terry Flanagan For WBO 140-Pound World Championship Belt

LOS ANGELES (Juni 9, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury scored a fourth-round TKO over Sefer Seferi at Manchester Arena in Manchester, Engeland, on Saturday in a bout that was streamed live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

The 6-foot-9, 275-plus pound Fury, who outweighed Seferi by more than 65 pounds following Friday’s weigh-in, looked rusty in the scheduled 10-rounder, his first bout in more than 31 maanden. Seferi sat on his stool after four completed rounds and did not answer the bell for round five.

 

 

 

Woede (26-0, 19 KO) playfully bounced around for the first few rounds, and was even warned for a lack of activity in the second round against a severely undermanned Seferi (23-2, 21 KO). Fury is likely to face a tougher opponent in his next fight set for September in a division currently ruled by world title holders Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

Fury’s return to the ring came after 924 days of inactivity due to bouts of depression and admitted drug use following an upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko to take Klitschko’s WBA, IBF and WBO world titles.

 

 

 

In a fight that preceded Fury-Seferi, undefeated American Maurice Hooker won a split-decision upset victory over hometown favorite Terry Flanagan to capture the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship belt. De scores waren 117-111, 115-113 for Hooker, en 117-111 for Flanagan.

 

 

 

With blood streaming down his face, the former lightweight title holder Flanagan (33-1, 13 KO), who suffered a deep cut on the forehead after an accidental head butt in the seventh round, couldn’t overcome the aggressive Hooker (24-0-3, 16 KO), who just like training partner Errol Spence Jr., had to travel overseas to win his first world title.

 

 

 

Hooker, a 28-years-old Dallas native, was fighting for the first time outside of the United States against Flanagan, who was a 135-pound champion for three years with five defenses before moving up to the 140-pound class.

 

 

 

Met de overwinning, Hooker became the 76th ShoBox: The New Generation alum to win a world title, joining the likes of Spence and Wilder.

 

 

 

Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores and analyst Chris Mannix delivered pre and post-fight analysis from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

Later on Saturday night, WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz will rematch former three-division world champion Abner Mares op Showtime Championship Boxing® (10 p.m. ET/PT delayed on the West Coast) from Staples Center in Los Angeles. In de uitzending opener, Houston’s Jermell Charlo will defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Title against former world champion Austin Trout.

Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores en analist Chris Mannix will deliver pre and post-fight analysis from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

The live stream of Fury vs. Seferi will precede that evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® doubleheader that features WBA Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz in a highly anticipated rematch against former world champion Abner Mares live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET / PT, vertraagd op de West Coast) from Staples Center. In de co-functie, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.

 

 

 

Here’s what Flanagan and Hooker had to say on Thursday:

 

Terry Flanagan

“I’m more than ready. I’ve prepared well, and I’m expecting a good night.”

 

 

 

“Of course he believes in himself, like the last few Americans that have come over. He’s just another American I’m going to add to the list.”

 

 

 

“I’m confident. I’m stronger and I’m bigger, fitter.”

 

 

 

“I’m more than ready. I know what he’s going to bring, and I’m prepared for the best Maurice Hooker. … I think I need to step up now and show people what I’m about.”

 

(On moving up a weight class) “It’s five pounds, it’s nothing. I’m plenty big enough to move up again. I’m 5-foot-10. I’m big, Ik ben sterk, I’m ready for this weight. This is my natural weight. … I’ll get a title at this weight and then see what happens from there.”

 

 

 

“There’s nothing he can do now or that I can do now to change how the fight is going to go. It’s all about getting in there and being 100 percent switched on ready, and we’re going to have a fight Saturday night.”

 

Maurice Hooker

“I love being the underdog – I’ve been the underdog my whole life, and look where I’m at now. I’m ready to fight Saturday, and Terry’s ready to fight. I’m going to punch him in the mouth, and I hope he punches me back – if not, he’s in trouble.”

 

 

 

“We’re going to put on a good show come Saturday night. He’s in good shape, and I’m in good shape. We kunnen gaan 12 rounds real hard, or it might be an early night for Terry.”

 

 

 

“I’m back now and better than ever. I’m ready to show the whole world who I am. Before that fight with Darleys Perez, everybody was scared to fight me. I’m still that monster, I’m still that dog. Come Saturday night, I’m going to punch him in the mouth and I might knock him out in the first round.”

 

 

 

“Come Saturday night, I pray for him, because I mean business when I get in that ring.”

 

 

 

“It’s my best against his best. We’ve got a fight Saturday night, so don’t blink.”

MANCHESTER, Verenigd Koninkrijk (Juni 6, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury took one more step toward ending his 31-month exile from the sport as he met face-to-face with Sefer Seferi at the final press conference Wednesday at the Midland Hotel in Manchester.

 

SHOWTIME Sports will live stream the long-awaited return of Fury (25-0, 18 KO), a former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion, dit Zaterdag, Juni 9 from Manchester Arena when he faces Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout from Manchester Arena. De Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL® social media offering will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel beginning at 4:30 p.m. EN/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

Here’s what Fury had to say on Wednesday:

 

“If he has knocked out 21 men before, if he gets it on my chin he will knock me out too.

 

“I look at Sefer like I look at Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, anybody. He’s a dangerous puncher.

 

“I could have picked someone a lot easier than Sefer; someone to knock out in a round. But I need rounds.”

 

On his Heavyweight rivals: “They know the message – I’m back. I don’t ever remember feeling any better than I do now.

 

“I feel sharper now, more power. I fell out of love with the game but now the love is thriving, we are back on fire for one another.

 

“You’re going to be the best Tyson Fury you have ever seen.”

 

“There are no nerves at all. I feel like I have been a goldfish in a tank, trapped and now I am getting released back into the river where I belong. So just put me there and watch me swim.”

 

“I don’t ever remember feeling any better than I do now. I feel shaper now, faster than I’ve ever been, more power, I just want it more.

 

“It was a lost relationship, it was like I was married to the game too long and we sort of fell out of love with each other.”

 

In the opening bout of the live stream, lokale held Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO's) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO's) for the vacant WBO Super Lightweight crown.

EDMONTON, Canada (Juni 5, 2018) – Canadian boxing fans will have the opportunity to watch the long-awaited return of the“Gypsy King,” undefeated former unified heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury deze zaterdag tegen Sefer “The Real Deal” Expeditie in de 10-round main event, airing in Canada exclusively on Super Channel, live from Manchester Arena in Manchester, Verenigd Koninkrijk.
Hij is terug: Fury versus. Expeditie, presented by Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions, will air exclusively on Super Channel across Canada, vanaf 2:00 p.m. EN / 11:00 a.m. PT.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be bringing this highly anticipated bout marking the return of Tyson Fury to the boxing world, to our viewers,” said Don McDonald, President en CEO, Super Channel. “This is exactly the type of exclusive content that Canadian boxing fans have come to expect from Super Channel Sports and is a welcome addition to our growing catalogue of marquee boxing events.”
Perhaps boxing’s most polarizing figure, Woede (25-0, 15 KO) has been sidelined with mental health issues for the past 2 ½ jaar, after shocking the boxing world November 28, 2015, when he defeated future Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KO) door middel van een 10-round unaniem besluit (116-111, 115-112, 115-112).
De 6′ 9″ Fury became the undisputed world heavyweight champion, securing the IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO and De Ring kampioenschappen, only to be stripped and/or relinquish his title belts without a single defense.
(L-R) – In zijn laatste gevecht, Tyson Fury upset Wladimir Klitschko
Canadian boxing fans are more than familiar with Fury, who held his extended training camp in Canada, at Hotel Lac Leamy in Gatineau, prior to his April 20, 2013 fight at famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which he stopped multiple world champion Steve Cunningham in the seventh round.
“I can’t wait to get in there and prove that I’m a better fighter than I’ve ever been,” the charismatic Fury said. “I’m coming into the prime of my career now and I’ve never felt better. I’m fitter, stronger and faster than the Fury of 2015.
“It’s going to be a huge night for the City of Manchester (where Fury was born). I’m delighted to be fighting at the iconic Manchester Arena for the first time in my career. I’m promising the fans a special performance to thank them for their loyal support.”
Expeditie, fighting out of Albania, has suffered only one loss during his otherwise perfect 11-year pro boxing career, losing a 10-round decision in 2016 to future WBA heavyweight world champion Manuel Charr (29-4) for the vacant WBA International crown.
“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” Seferi predicted. “I’m very disciplined and always ready to take on everyone and anyone. This will not be an easy night for him. I’m coming to Manchester to beat one of the boxing legends of the 21st century.
“He is tall and strong, but he won’t be ready for the pressure that I will bring. Two-and-one-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko. I am going to seize the opportunity with both hands.”
The 12-round co-feature features local hero, undefeated Brit Terry “Turbo” Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO), in his bid to become a two-division world champion, versus unbeaten American Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO) for the vacant WBO super-lightweight world title.
Three other exciting fights on the “Hij is terug: Fury versus. Expeditie” kaart, in addition to the previously mentioned main event and co-feature, zal de lucht in Canada uitsluitend op Super Channel.
Undefeated prospect Mark “Kid Dynamite” Heffron (19-0, 15 KO) takes on fellow countryman Andrew “D’Animal” Robinson (21-3, 6 KO) in a 12-round British battle for the vacant WBC International Silver middleweight title, unbeaten Brit GEEN WOORD. “Kid Shamrock” Metcalf(17-0, 9 KO) and Spanish champion Aitor Nieto (22,5 9 KO) square off in a 12-round bout for the vacant WBC International super welterweight crown, and British heavyweight Nathan Gorman (12-0, 10 KO) voldoet aan Sean “Big Sexy” draaier (12-2, 8 KO), of Ireland, in een wedstrijd van 10 ronden.

SHOWTIME SPORTS® TO LIVE STREAM THE LONG-AWAITED RETURN OF FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION TYSON FURY ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Laat een reactie achter

 

Fury To Face Sefer Seferi; Terry Flanagan To Face Maurice Hooker For Vacant 140-Pound World Title

Zaterdag, Juni 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page

 

NEW YORK (Juni 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, die zal worden geconfronteerd Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Juni 9 van Manchester Arena. Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL® will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel beginning at 4:30 p.m. EN/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

In de opening aanval, lokale held Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO's) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO's) for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight crown. This will be the fourth live streaming boxing event this year on SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

Live coverage for the Frank Warren promoted event will be provided by BT Sport and BoxNation with U.K. sportscasters John Rawling providing the blow-by-blow and Richie Woodhall the analysis. Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores en analist Chris Mannix will deliver pre-fight and post-fight analysis from Staples Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

The live stream of Fury vs. Seferi will precede that evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® doubleheader that features WBA Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz in a rematch against fellow three-division world champion Abner Mares live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET / PT, delayed in the West Coast) from Staples Center. In de co-functie, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.

 

 

 

Woede (25-0, 18 KO), a former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end a two-years-and-seven-months exile from the sport on June 9. Fury has been inactive since outpointing Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf in November 2015 due to an injury, personal problems and a doping ban.

 

 

 

“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,” said Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Ik ben 29 jaar oud, coming into the prime of my life, I’m stronger and faster, holding more muscle mass than ever. I’m more confident looking at the competition.”

 

 

 

Albania’s Seferi (23-1, 21 KO) is a 39-year-old Switzerland-based cruiserweight who is stepping up in weight and opposition when he faces the 6-foot-9 Fury. Seferi’s sole loss came in 2016 in a heavyweight bout against now-secondary WBA heavyweight champ Manuel Charr.

 

 

 

“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” said Seferi. “Two-and-a-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko.”

 

 

 

Flanagan, the first Englishman to earn a lightweight world title, will seek to capture a title in a second weight class just days away from his 29th verjaardag. Hooker, a southpaw from Dallas, Texas and ShoBox alum, has been training with Terence Crawford. Hooker will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dallas resident Errol Spence Jr., who went to Kell Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England to capture his first world championship.

Philadelphia, PA / Manchester, UK (Maart 30, 2017)–Legendary Philadelphia fight face Artie Pellulo lands in the UK early next week confident of adding a 45th world champion to his stellar CV.
De 61 year old Italian-American’s highly regarded lightweight Petr Petrov (38-4-2) makes a mandatory challenge to home hero ‘Turbo Terry’ Flanagan, the undefeated WBO king, at Manchester Arena op zaterdag week and he looks like being frantic. BT Sport and BoxNation screen live in the UK.
Last Wednesday, Glynn Evans spoke to the Philly-based promoter.
It’s been extremely difficult to find any background info regarding Petrov’s personality. Can you enlighten us?
I’ve been promoting fighters for almost 30 Nu jaar, inclusief 44 world champions and I have to say that Petr is one of the nicer individuals I’ve come across; the type you’d have over your house. He’s just married the girl he’d been dating for a very long time. He’s a gentleman, a pleasure to work with.
Psychologically, how will he cope performing before thousands of baying Brits?
I’ve consistently gone on record as saying that the British fight fans are terrific. You’ll recall I had dealings with Ricky Hatton. They support their heroes like no other. But I guarantee that the crowd will not adversely affect Petrov.
Being on the road is actually like being at home for him because he’s never ever fought in Russia and hasn’t featured in his adopted homeland of Spain for five years. He’s won all six of his fights in the US and, before that, he competed in Germany, Argentina and Montenegro. I guarantee that facing a partisan crowd in Manchester will not affect his job. In feite, it will energize him, excite him.
And I’ve no problem whatsoever with the officials in the UK. Matter of fact, I won my first world title in Britain when Otis Grant outpointed Ryan Rhodes in his hometown of Sheffield for the vacant WBO Middleweight title way back in (December) 1997.
Daarvoor, my fighter Tyrell Biggs was officially ahead on the referee’s card before Gary Mason knocked him out on a Mickey Duff show at the Royal Albert Hall (Oktober 1989) and John Thompson was up on the cards before Liam Smith put him to bed at this very venue 18 months back. You always get a fair shake with the Brits.
What are Petrov’s qualities as a fighter?
I discovered him during his involvement in the ESPN Boxcino Lightweight tournament in early 2014 en, geloof me, between the ropes, he’s the real deal. You only have to watch his tapes to appreciate that he’s relentless, smart, can box or punch and he’s blessed with a very good eye. Petr has a real understanding of what is going on in the ring at any given moment and he can adopt accordingly. He gives a 110% effort every time.
What is your assessment of champion Flanagan? What does Petrov need to be mindful of?
I was ringside the night Terry Flanagan hammered Diego Magdaleno in two rounds because John Thompson challenged Liam Smith that night and what I saw was a very, zeer goede vechter. Terry’s a smart southpaw who’s very tough and keeps coming. Geen twijfel, he’ll be looking to extend his very impressive unbeaten streak.
What course did you see the fight taking? What key factor will determine the winner?
This fight steals the show and could well be Fight of the Year, seriously. It’s that good a match up. Both Terry and Petr are TV friendly and fan friendly. It’s gonna be great theatre.
There’s no main factor that distinguishes one over the other. It’ll be about how two fighters at the very top of their games handle the pressure and stay with their game plan.
