LAS VEGAS (Desember 21, 2017) – To-divisjon verdensmester Danny “Swift” Garcia returns to the ring to take on former world champion Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios in a welterweight showdown on Lørdag, Februar 17 leve på SHOWTIME at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
I co-feature, boksing yngste verdensmester David “The Red Flag” Benavidez will defend his Super Middleweight World Championship for the first time against Ronald Gavril in a rematch of their thrilling September 2017 bout in which Benavidez won the vacant title by split decision.
The card is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DSG Promotions. The Benavidez-Gavril rematch is co-promoted by Sampson Boxing. Tickets for the live event go on sale Lørdag, Desember. 23 ved 10 a.m. PST and will be available at AXS.com.
“I’m excited just to get back in the ring,” Said Garcia, who was reigning world champion for the better part of six years dating back to his win over Hall of Famer Erik Morales in 2012 gjennom mars 2017. “I needed the time off to recuperate and let my body heal.”
Garcia (33-1, 19 KOs) was a unified world champion at super lightweight and welterweight and has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents in both divisions spanning two generations-Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Four of his five opponents in the welterweight division were world champions and 10 av hans siste 14 opponents were world champions or former world champions.
“I was the reigning champion for six years, so I needed the rest,” continued the 29-year old Philadelphia fighter. “I’m ready to kick off the year in style and take over the welterweight division.”
I sin siste kamp, a welterweight clash of world title holders, Garcia lost via split decision to now unified 147-pound world champion Keith Thurman in a hard-fought, exciting fight that aired live on CBS. The SHOWTIME BOXING on CBS broadcast drew the biggest boxing audience of the year, more than five million viewers which remains the largest audience to witness a primetime boxing broadcast since 1998.
Nå, Garcia looks to re-establish his once dominant position at welterweight, a division that boasts more top-10 pound-for-pound fighters in the sport than any other weight class; fighters including world champions Errol Spence Jr., Thurman, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson and more.
“What’s interesting in this fight with Brandon Rios is our styles. We both like to come forward. This kind of matchup will bring out the best in both of us. I’m excited to be back in Las Vegas. I’ve had some of my best performances and some of my biggest fights there. I beat Lucas Matthysse and Amir Khan in Vegas. You fight in Las Vegas, you’re a superstar,” added Garcia.
Som Garcia, Rios has fought many of the top welterweights of this era including world champions Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao. The hard-nosed slugger from Oxnard, Calif., har 34 vinner, 25 etter knockout. The 31-year-old Rios always comes prepared to battle. With an aggressive style and granite chin, he is one of the most entertaining boxers in the sport. In his last fight he scored a TKO victory over Aaron Herrera on Juni 11. A victory over Garcia, a top-10 welterweight in his own right, would immediately change the course of Rios’ career and demand that he be placed among the top-ranked in the division.
“I’m excited to prove my critics wrong again,” said Rios. “I’m bring a ‘Bam Bam’ Rios slugfest to my fans. Danny is a great fighter, but I will beat him just like I have beat others in the past. I am focused and will make this a classic Mexican-Puerto Rican battle!”
“SHOWTIME is poised to start the year with two crucial welterweight main event matchups,” sa Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports®. “Following the January 20th event pitting Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson, Garcia vs. Rios features two of the most battle-tested and ferocious 147-pound fighters in the world. Add in the Benavidez vs. Gavril II co-feature, a fight that is guaranteed to deliver dramatic action, and we are picking up right where we left off in 2017 delivering the most compelling and important matchups in boxing’s deepest divisions.”
“We’re looking forward to the action at Mandalay Bay Events Center in February,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions. “Both Garcia and Rios are seasoned fighters that have faced the toughest competition in the welterweight division and they are both very hungry for a big win. The co-feature rematch between the youngest reigning world champion David Benavidez and challenger Ronald Gavril we already know will be thrilling. All four of these men have proven that they’ll put it all on the line in the boxing ring to leave no doubt about who the better man is. I tillegg, we are working on a crowd-pleasing undercard now. Everyone on this card will need to bring their ‘A game’ to Las Vegas in order to be victorious on Februar 17.”
“Danny Garcia is one of the most battle-tested, skillful boxers in the sport. What he did in running through the 140-pound division before moving up to welterweight is simply amazing,” sa Tom Brown, President av TGB Kampanjer. “‘Bam Bam’ Rios is a throwback warrior. He never met a fight that he backed down from. Putting Garcia and Rios into the ring against each other promises nothing but fireworks in a match that should provide maximum entertainment for fans. It’s the kind of fight that belongs in Las Vegas, a classic battle that harkens to welterweight wars of the past. The first match between Benavidez and Gavril left enough room for doubt that a rematch should settle any remaining questions. I’d expect both boxers to come in with something to prove and that translates into a fan-friendly match.”
The 21-year-old Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOs) became the youngest reigning world champion in boxing and the youngest 168-pound champion in history at 20-years, nine months old when he scored a split decision against Gavril to win the super middleweight title on September 8. The bout featured multiple swings of momentum, thrilling exchanges and a wild 12th runde. Benavidez and Gavril pushed each other to deliver the best performance of their respective careers thus far.
“I feel I won the fight,” said Gavril immediately after the decision. “I dominated the pace. I can’t say anything else… The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”
På Februar 17, Gavril will get it.
“No excuses this time,” sa Sampson Lewkowicz av Sampson Boxing. “The minute Benavidez finished the fight I requested the rematch-on behalf of the winner-for the sole reason that he needed to win by emphatically and not by split decision. I wanted the public to be able to have the rematch so that everyone will know who the best is. I expect this time Gavril will say that he’s really been beaten. As the youngest reigning champion in the sport today, I want no doubt that Benavidez is the better man. It was a great fight the first time and this time we’ll see who the best truly is. Ingen unnskyldninger. No doubt.”
Kjempe ut av Phoenix, Arizona., Benavidez had scored 10 straight knockouts leading up to the match against Gavril. His eight-round KO victory over Rogelio Medina put him position for the vacant title.
“This is a fight that my father, my team and I decided to take again to show everybody that I’m really the champion and there’s more to me than just being the youngest world champion,” Benavidez said. “I feel like I’m the better fighter and I’m going to definitely show it this time. I learned from that first fight that he puts on a lot of pressure. He likes to throw at the same time that I’m throwing. There are a couple different approaches to take against that. It’s going to be a great night of fights. Danny Garcia and ‘Bam Bam’ Rios, these are two fighters I look up to in the sport and it’s an honor to fight in their undercard. My training has been going well. We decided to bring in a strength and conditioning coach and I feel really strong. I believe I’ll be very prepared.”
Gavril (18-2, 14 KOs) rose rapidly through the ranks by scoring seven straight victories including four by knockout since 2015. The 31-year-old Gavril was born in Bacau, Romania and now lives and fights out of Las Vegas. He fought a brilliant match against Benavidez, seizing control in the middle rounds and even dropping the young contender in the 12th with less than a minute left in the fight. Til syvende og sist, it wasn’t enough as Gavril lost on two of the three judges’ scorekort.
“I can’t wait to get into the ring again and take that belt,” said Gavril. “I learned his game plan quickly during the first fight, I blocked it well then, and I plan to do the same again. He has fast hands and power, I won’t take that from him, but I am prepared for whatever plan he comes in the ring with. I know I have what it takes to win this time. Preparing for this fight the second time around has been different, training has been more intense, and my team is preparing me to take him out once and for all. I can’t let him win. Some people said I won back in September, and were surprised by my performance. I thought it was close, and I thought the knock down gave me the advantage to win. All I can do is be ready. I don’t think either of us will upset the fans on fight night. I want to thank Floyd Mayweather and Leonard for another opportunity against Benavidez. He’s a great fighter and tough competitor and this will certainly be a great fight.”

Gary Russell, Jr.-Oscar Escandon Featherweight Title Match Postponed After Escandon Suffers Injury in Training

Legg igjen en kommentar
The Card Will Be Rescheduled for A Future Date
LAS VEGAS (Februar 28, 2017) – The featherweight championship match between Gary Russell Jr. and Oscar Escandon, planlagt for Lørdag, Mars 11 at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland, has been postponed after Escandon was injured in training, according to Escandon’s promoter Sampson Lewkowicz.
“Oscar suffered an injury to his back in training and he’ll be ready to go in April,” Lewkowicz said. “He’s very sorry for the delay in the fight, but these things happen in boxing. He’s really looking forward to facing Gary Russell, Jr., but he wants to be completely healthy when they do meet.”
Escandon, a 32-year-old Colombian with a record of 25-2 med 17 KOs, is the mandatory challenger for Russell’s featherweight championship. Jermell Charlo defending his 154-pound title against Charles Hatley will be the co-feature on the rescheduled card.
“It’s definitely irritating,” Russell said. “But injuries happen especially when you have somebody pushing their body to the limit for a fight that is potentially life changing. It’s disappointing. It might not work out for him because I have a little more time to get ready.”
“We’re working with the venue and the network to find the earliest date that we can reschedule the show,” sa Tom Brown av TGB Kampanjer. “I feel terrible for the fighters who have been training so hard and now have to wait. Gary is really disappointed, but he understands that injuries are all a part of the sport. But Gary will be ready to go on the rescheduled date.”
A new date for the fight will be announced shortly.

Caribe Promotions loses rights to Shumenov-Dorticos WBA cruiserweight title fight; TGB Promotions awarded rights

Legg igjen en kommentar
LAS VEGAS (Januar 31, 2017) – The World Boxing Association (WBA) has notified WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu and WBA Interim cruiserweight title-holder yunier Dorticos, as well as their representatives, that Caribe Promotions has lost its rights to promote the WBA mandated Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight.
Dorticós’ promoter, Caribe Promotions, originally won the Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight rights last November with a winning purse bid of $350,001, which required a fight date within 90 dager. Although rumored to be held in mid-February in either Miami or Las Vegas, Caribe’s ability and willingness to actually promote the fight came into question in January, 2017. The WBA demanded that Caribe confirm its intentions and even granted Caribe additional time to respond, but Caribe failed to file confirmation of a fight date with the WBA. Because Caribe was unable to confirm its intentions, the WBA had little choice but to award rights to the second-highest purse bidder, Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions.
“I last fought 21 mai and I have been in the gym since June because I was supposed to fight Lebedev in September,” said a terribly frustrated Shumenov. “But he backed out of the fight with me once again and I have been ready to fight since then. I signed a bout agreement to fight Dorticos on February 11thi Miami, but Dorticos and his promoter disappeared after I signed. They’re full of it; all they do is talk. I can’t wait to knock him out. I am waiting on my manager to call me right now to tell me the new fight date with TGB.”
Caribe Promotions has been forced to also forfeit its $35,000 purse bid deposit with 10-percent off the top going to the WBA and remainder ($31,500) distributed to Shumenov and Dorticos, henholdsvis, on a 75-25 percent basis due to its failure to promote the fight.
Shumenov (17-2, 11 KOs), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Kazakhstan, fought last Mai 21, da han stoppet 15-1-1 Junior Wright i 10th round of their Las Vegas fight for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title. The WBA had ruled that the Shumenov-Wright winner would be the mandatory challenger for its “Super” mester, Lebedev, within 90 dager, men, it later allowed unified cruiserweight titlist Lebedev (against Shumenov’s strong objections) to fight his International Boxing Federation (IBF) mandatory defense against challenger Murat Gassiev, effectively mandating an eliminator between Shumenov and Dorticos with that winner to fight the winner of Lebedev-Gassiev. Only days prior to the Lebedev-Gassiev title fight, Lebedev was inexplicably allowed to fight Gassiev without defending his WBA title, as only his IBF belt was on the line. Gassiev (24-0) defeated Lebedev (29-3) by way of a 12-round split decision in Moscow to become the IBF cruiserweight world champion and Lebedev remains the WBA Super cruiserweight world champion, i hvert fall for nå. The WBA is expected to rule on Shumenov’s objections to Lebedev’s fight against Gassiev, Lebedev’s status and whether Lebedev will remain champion having lost his last fight.
Dorticos has made false claims in the media that Shumenov, who had been waiting for the WBA to rule on his petitions to force Lebedev to fight him without further delay, had been avoiding him. It is ironic now that Dorticos’ own promoter first sought to delay and has now defaulted on the long-awaited confrontation by failing to promote the Shumenov-Dorticos title fight within the WBA deadline.
A former WBA Super light heavyweight world champion, the 33-year-old Shumenov is the first two-division world champion from a Soviet-bloc country.

WASHINGTON, Likespenning. –(Oktober. 28, 2015) -Beltway-området mors Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOs) holdt en media treningsøkt på The Enigma Boxing Club i Capital Heights, MD på tirsdag som han forbereder seg til sitt mesterskap bout på November 14 på SHOWTIME.
Russell Jr. vil gjøre den første forsvar av sin WBC Fjær VM mot Colombias Oscar Escandon (24-2, 16 KOs) i hovedturneringen av SHOWTIME Championship Boxing på Lørdag, November. 14, leve på SHOWTIME (10:45 pm. OG/PT) fra Hard Rock Hotel & Casino i Las Vegas.
Her er hva Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Garys far og trener) og Gary Antonio Russell(Gary yngre bror og ubeseiret boksing prospektet) hadde å si på tirsdag:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Treningsleir går bra, vi har rett på kurs. Det var en mindre hikke i leiren fordi jeg skulle til å kjempe den okt. 24. Jeg begynte sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to November 14 I cut the sparring off. Jeg hadde ikke lyst til å toppe for tidlig.
“I dag (Tirsdag) var min første dag tilbake sparring igjen. Jeg jobber med min timing, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon er sterk og holdbar. Han kommer rett frem. Hvis hans hjørne var smarte de ville prøve å ta bort min hånd hastighet som vil være en stor faktor i kampen. Han må lukke avstand, kvele mine punches så fart er ikke en faktor.
“Vi jobber med å bli like komfortabel slåss på utsiden som jeg kjemper på innsiden.
“Mange jagerfly er endimensjonale. Vi prøver å gjøre det diamant skinne på alle sider.
“Jeg vet at jeg vil seire uten tvil. Alle som du får i ringen med disse små, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Det tar bare ett skudd. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Jeg gleder meg til å kjempe, periode. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Det tar en viss type mental tøffhet og psykisk styrke til å komme i ringen og utføre. Alle som kommer i ringen mot meg er en mester i mine øyne.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Hvis jeg komme forbi Escandon Jeg ville elske å kjempe Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, selv om han tapte, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Å ha min familie med meg i løpet av treningsleiren betyr alt for meg. Det er der jeg får min energi fra. Mange gutter føler at de må komme bort for treningsleir, men jeg trenger ikke å forlate hjemmet. Min familie er drivkraften bak min treningsleir og hvor finner jeg min styrke og motivasjon. På slutten av dagen, Jeg boksen for min familie.
“Hvis min bror ender opp med å krangle på min undercard det ville være veldig kult for meg. Det blir morsomt fordi hvis han ikke konkurrere, du vil definitivt se meg jobbe hans hjørne før min tittel kamp.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Jeg vet det er et mesterskap kamp, men vi går inn i hver kamp som om det er en tittel kamp. Vi vet ikke massevis om sin motstander, vi bare trene som vinnere.
“Jeg har seks sønner, alle av dem er krigere. De har alle ulike egenskaper som folk som overs annerledes i hvem de er som mennesker, og i ringen.
“Antonio Russell er 4-0, han har jobbet hardt hele livet. Utsiden av gym, han kan fikse alt. Antoine, som bare kvalifisert for OL-forsøk, er strålende. Jeg er veldig stolt av ham fordi han nettopp uteksaminert som utmerket seg i sin klasse med den høyeste gjennomsnittskarakter på noen i Prince George fylke. Da har du Gary, som er så hardt arbeide, Han er fremtiden patriarken av familien. Han har en gammel ånd.
“Jeg er stolt av alle mine barn, og jeg er stolt over at vi er en sterk familieenheten. Vi lærte mye av Gary tap til Vasyl Lomatsjenko. Vi har et motto på treningsstudioet som henger fra et banner, det står 'suksess er den ultimate hevn’ og vi har levd med det helt siden tapet. Vi lærte en viktig lekse fra den kampen og har flyttet på.
“Boksing er en flyktig ting, du trenger ikke gjøre det for alltid. Vi gjør våre egne ting. Jeg er ikke bekymret for hva andre har gjort.
“Som en far, din farsinstinktet slår inn fordi i denne sporten, alt kan skje. Du ønsker ikke å se din sønn ender opp såret. Så vi trener for noen omstendighet. På grunn av at instinkt, Jeg har vært streng og vanskelig på mine sønner for å prøve å holde dem trygge.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Fighting på Fredag, Oktober. 30 non-tv Premier Boksing Champions på Bounce TV undercard og potensielt November 14 undercard.):
“Med måten vi trener og kamp, vårt forsvar setter opp våre angrep og våre krenkelser setter opp vårt forsvar.
“Min jobb er å gå inn der og vinne kamper. Jeg vet at min motstander er en høy fyr, men jeg vet også at han ikke kommer til å vinne. Han har ikke den slagkraft eller ring generalship at jeg har.
“Når jeg vinner, Jeg er på til neste. Jeg opplært til å kjempe konsekvent. Jeg håper jeg får denne fyren ut tidlig, hvis den kommer og presenterer seg. Så jeg vil gjerne kjempe på min eldre brors kort to uker etter.”
