Siku ya Ijumaa usiku, huko Kyle Gallagher (Klabu ya Kupambana) Hafla iliyokuzwa katika Hoteli ya Nyumba ya Devonshire huko Liverpool, Waingereza & Mamlaka ya ndondi ya Ireland (Biba) kwa mafanikio waliidhinisha tukio lao la uzinduzi, Tangu kuchukua shughuli za Uingereza na Ireland za Tume ya Ndondi ya Malta (MBC) Mapema mwezi huu.

Bout ya kwanza ya usiku, Tazama Lee Clayton afanye kwanza kitaalam dhidi ya mkongwe wa mkongwe-wawili Thomas Murry.

Wapiganaji hao wawili walienda ndani yake nyundo na viboko kutoka mbali, Wanaume wote wanaopigania pete ya katikati na shauku. Wakati mzunguko uliendelea hadi dakika ya pili Clayton alianza kutawala, Kuruhusu RIP na risasi mbaya za mwili wakati wowote fursa ilipoibuka.

Kufikia dakika ya tatu Clayton aliiongezea hata zaidi na kisha karibu dakika mbili Mark Clayton alitua peach ya risasi ya mwili ili kumtuma Murry. Kijana wa Mancunian hapo awali alijaribu kuongezeka lakini alikuwa wazi kwa maumivu mengi na akamsogelea mwamuzi Jimmy Byrne kwamba hakuweza kuendelea na bout iliachwa huko 2 dakika na 42 alama pili.

Dayle ya kijana wa eneo hilo Clayton alikabiliwa na Marty Kayes wa Belfast katika bout ya pili ya usiku. Kutoka kengele ya ufunguzi hadi kwenye kengele ya kufunga ya bout hawa mashujaa wawili walipigania sana kwa kupendeza kwa nyumba iliyojaa, Baada ya mwamuzi nne wa pande zote aliyepigana sana Jimmy Byrne alifunga bao hilo 40-36 Kwa niaba ya Dayle Gallagher, ambaye rekodi yake sasa inasimama kama 2-0.

Tatu bout ya usiku tazama Hyde, Je! Utafanya mazoezi ya kwanza ya kitaalam dhidi ya Newark, Nottingham's Vaclav Hom.

Tena nyingine kamili kwenye vita kutoka mwanzo hadi mwisho, Wanaume wote wanapeana yote kwa raundi nne kamili, Kama ilivyo kwa Clayton-Hayes bout kila pande zote zilikuwa karibu sana, Katika kesi hii karibu sana kwamba mwamuzi Jimmy Byrne alifunga bout 39-37 Kwa niaba ya mtoto wa kwanza atafanya hivyo.

Baadaye angalia Lee Boyce wa Liverpool dhidi ya Castlerae, John Waldron wa Ireland. Mwingine akivunja hatua zote za hatua.

Boyce alitawala idadi kubwa ya mzunguko wa kwanza, Kutumia harakati zake za kipekee kumfanya mtu huyo wa Ireland nje ya anuwai, Kabla ya kusonga mbele na kuruhusu RIP na shots safi safi kwa mwili au kichwa.

Wengi waliohudhuria walidhani itakuwa kumaliza mapema, Baada ya Waldron kutumwa chini kufuatia risasi ya mwili mbaya katika ya kwanza, Lakini Ireland ni ya hisa kali zaidi, kama inavyothibitishwa katika raundi ya pili ambayo Waldron alishinda.

Mzunguko wa tatu na wa nne ulikuwa kamili kwenye vita vya Royal na Boyce akikamata moja na Waldron nyingine, Kwa hivyo baada ya raundi nne za kupendeza za ndondi ilikuwa wazi kuwa karibu, Kwa hivyo haishangazi kwamba alama za mwamuzi Jimmy Byrne zilionyesha Boyce mshindi na karibu sana 38-37, Mzunguko wa kwanza kugonga kuwa tofauti. Pigano kubwa sana na hakika kumbukumbu tena katika siku zijazo inapaswa kuwa kwenye kadi.

Bout ya tano ya usiku ilimwona nyota wa zamani wa Amateur wa England Nathan Russo akifanya kwanza dhidi ya mwenye talanta sawa na pia akijadili James McDonald.

Dakika ya kwanza au zaidi ya bout ilikuwa ya kupendeza kuiweka kwa upole, Kijana mmoja wa kwanza alitawala mwingine na kisha visa versa, Walakini wakati pande zote ziliendelea Russo alianza kupata mafanikio makubwa na risasi mbaya za mwili na mabaki makubwa kichwani, Sana sana karibu dakika mbili thelathini Mark Russo aliinuka zaidi, kulazimisha McDonald kufunika zaidi kuliko vile alivyokuwa katika sehemu za kwanza za raundi, Basi tu kama kengele ya kumaliza pande zote ilikuwa karibu kuwa rung Russo acha RIP na kushoto kubwa kichwani, Kutuma McDonald moja kwa moja chini na nje.

Referee Jimmy Byrne aligundua papo hapo Punch ilitua ilikuwa ni kugonga na akaingia moja kwa moja kwa upande wa Watoto ili kuangalia hali yake kabla ya kuashiria kwa Timu ya Matibabu ya Ringside kuingia kwenye pete ili kuhudhuria shujaa aliyejeruhiwa.

Umati wa watu ulisimama kwa heshima, Kama vile Nathan Russo, Wakati timu ya matibabu ilienda kufanya kazi kwenye McDonald inayokabiliwa, Lakini wakati mwishowe McDonald alisaidiwa kutiririka viti viwili au Dakika tatu baadaye umati mzima kwa mtu (au mwanamke) alisimama na kupongezwa.

Ingawa James McDonald alionekana kupona kabisa, Alipelekwa hospitalini kwa ukaguzi kuwa upande salama.

Bout ya mwisho ya usiku kuona kijana wa ndani Jay Carney dhidi ya Pro kujadili Jak Johnson, kutoka Newcastle.

Kila mtu alikuwa akitarajia hii kuwa vita nzuri, Kama hawa vijana wawili walikuwa wamepigana hapo awali kwenye amateurs, Na walithibitishwa kuwa sawa.

Mzunguko wa kwanza, Hizi mbili zilienda kwa ajili yake, Vijana wote wa ndondi kwa uzuri wakati wote. Mwanzoni mwa Johnson wa pili alianza kuchukua udhibiti, kutua shots kamili, Carney ingawa ni ngumu kama wanavyokuja na kukatisha tamaa na wakati pande zote ziliendelea kupigana sana na kuanza kupata tena udhibiti.

Karibu dakika mbili thelathini Mark Carney aliongeza vitu juu na kuanza kutua risasi kubwa, kusababisha Johnson kufunika, Walakini mbinu hii ilifungua mwili, Ambayo Carney alichukua fursa, Kutupa risasi kubwa ya mwili kumtuma Johnson chini.

Kama ilivyo kwa Thomas Murry, Hapo awali Johnson alijaribu kupanda lakini alikuwa na upepo sana kufanya hivyo. Referee Jimmy Byrne aliondoa mapigano hayo dakika ya arobaini na tano ya pili ya raundi ya pili.

Kufuatia tukio hilo Briteni & Makamu wa Mamlaka ya Ndondi ya Ireland na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Gianluca Di Caro alizungumza kwa ufupi juu ya hafla hiyo.

"Hatuwezi kuuliza tukio bora la kuzindua Briteni & Mamlaka ya ndondi ya Ireland, Kyle (mtangazaji Kyle Gallagher) alikuwa ameweka pamoja onyesho la kupendeza, Bila shaka ni mmoja wa watangazaji bora wa Uingereza, Mawazo yake kwa undani ni darasa la kwanza.

Ukumbi ulikuwa mzuri sana na kulinganisha kwa bouts ilikuwa darasa la kwanza na muhimu zaidi, vizuri kwetu, ilionyesha mabondia wote wa Uingereza na Ireland, Kwa hivyo tuko juu ya mwezi amechagua kuwa na Waingereza & Mamlaka ya ndondi ya Ireland.

Sina chochote ila sifa kwa kila mpiganaji mmoja usiku wa leo, Kila mmoja wao alipigania mioyo yao na kuweka show kubwa.

Nimefurahi kuripoti kwamba James McDonald ni sawa, lakini lazima nikubali nilikuwa na wasiwasi kwani ilionekana mbaya wakati huo, Na kuwa mkweli ikiwa haikuwa kwa athari za haraka za Jimmy (Referee Jimmy Byrne), John (Dr John Oates) na Chris (Kiwewe Medic Chris anasema) Na timu yake inaweza kuwa kwa urahisi.

Na tukio letu la kwanza limefanywa na vumbi, Inaendelea na zaidi. Matukio yanakuja kwa nene na haraka, Sana sana kwamba wikendi ijayo tunayo hafla mbili, Tukio la Lee Murtagh huko Aria Suite huko Leeds, Hiyo itaonyesha kwanza ya pro ya Sophie Varley bora na kadi kamili ya bouts zilizofanana kwenye Ijumaa na JumamosiThomas Melville's Quadruple WBF kichwa cha kichwa cha kichwa katika Kituo cha Burudani cha Lagoon huko Paisley.

LONDON (Aprili 9, 2016) – Anthony Joshua is the new IBF Heavyweight Champion of the World.

 

The undefeated knockout artist blasted defending champion Charles Martin in the second round to capture the IBF belt on Saturday in front of a rousing hometown crowd at The O2 in London on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL.

 

Joshua, who kept his perfect KO record in tact to advance to 16-0 na 16 Kos, earned a heavyweight belt in the fewest number of fights since Michael Bentt beat Tommy Morrison in just his 12th pro match in 1993.

 

Joshua’s one-punch KO power was evident early. After an even first, akaonekana 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist floored Martin with a straight right less than one minute into the second round. The southpaw looked stunned and slowly rose to beat the count, but was floored again with another right hand just seconds later. That was it for Martin (23-1-1, 21 Kos), who had won the belt in January under bizarre circumstances and now owns the second shortest reign for a heavyweight champion.

 

“I’m only one-quarter of the way there,” said Joshua., who has expressed his desire to unify the heavyweight division. “I’m not going to get too carried away because we still have work to do. Tuna (David) Haye calling me out, Tyson Fury calling me out. I need to keep on pushing if I’m going to maintain at a high level.

Here’s what Martin and Joshua had to say at Thursday’s final press conference.

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

“I don’t consider this a risk. The O2 Arena, that’s my arena. I’m comfortable everywhere I go. When eyes are on me, I’m going to perform.

 

“I know how to move my head and be evasive. Real true analysts see the things I do. They can tell.

 

“I’m always here to prove the doubters wrong. When you doubt me, that just fuels my fire.

 

“We’re going to keep the tide rolling. We’re rolling.”

 

Anthony Joshua:

They know when it comes to these big heavy-hitters we don’t play games. We’re here to go to war. We’ve just got two generals in the ring and the best army wins.

 

You know what I’m like, Mimi nina fighter. I’m not going to go in there and dance around and try to evade punches. I’m going to walk through two to give him five. That’s just how it goes, I’m coming for him.

 

I’m here to box, but at the same time I know I’m ready to swim through deep waters to get it. It’s not going to be easy, I know that for a fact, no fight is easy. That’s why I said to you I will box and hopefully it will be an easy night.

 

It most definitely is a risk, but at the same time let’s scrap all this 15-fight, 16-fight nonsense and let’s put men in the ring together who want it. Whoever wants it comes out on top and it’s simple as that.”

 

When asked if he can control his emotions: “Probably not. I’ll probably go out and try to take his head off.”

 

Additional Fight Week Quotes (free to use):

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

 

“I don’t know how the fans will react to me knocking him out, but that’s what is going to happen. I don’t know how the fans in London will react, but I can only be myself.

 

“I’m world champion, but a lot of people don’t know me. After I knock him out we’ll see where that goes.

 

“I’m not going to go in there respecting anybody’s power. He’s going to have to respect me and my power and deal with me and my tools. I don’t care what he’s bringing to the table.

 

“This is my livelihood and I get real emotional with this. If you don’t take emotion into it then how are you even going to win? I’ve got to walk my own path. When I get emotional ahead of a big fight like this, I feel that I cannot be stopped. Even if I have doubt, I always have that.

 

“I don’t think about where he’s been. All I care about is where he’s going. I don’t care if he’s been in deep water before, or how many rounds he’s been. I want him to remember the word ‘timber’ because I’m going to make his ass hit that canvas real hard.

 

“This belt is mine. He’s trying to take what’s mine, take something from me. He’s trying to steal food out of my mouth, out of my kids’ mouth, out of my family’s mouth. This is my livelihood.

 

“I don’t want to let this go: this is never going to end. I want to be known as the greatest southpaw heavyweight that ever put on a set of gloves.

 

“When I get to this point now, I can’t be stopped. I’m like Lamon Brewster versus Wladimir Klitschko when he unloaded all those shots until he couldn’t throw anymore punches. And then what did Lamon Brewster do? Knock him the (expletive) out. Just that will to win, moja. You can throw whatever you want, but I’ll walk through fire to get you.

 

“It’s controlled aggression, ingawa, because if it’s not, you’ll run into everything they throw at you. I go in there with my antennas to the ceiling and I won’t take my eyes off him until the job is done.

 

“Everything is just cooking in the kitchen like I am a master chef, and all of the ingredients put together make it perfect.

 

“Life is all about taking risks but I don’t consider this a risk because I’m confident in what I do. It’s all about just taking that first step. You’ve got to walk out on your own and you’ve got to believe in yourself. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t have made it this far. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t be Prince Charles Martin.

 

“The belt is absolutely in the right hands. I didn’t want to win it the way I did – that was just crazy – I don’t even really like talking about it because it wasn’t my fault. Afterwards, he walked out of the venue – he didn’t limp or get carried out, he walked. If that was me I’d have fought on and gone out on my shield. You’d have to knock me out no matter what. I don’t care if I break my hand, if I break my jaw, I am not stopping.”

 

Anthony Joshua:

“I believe I am ready to win the world title. A lot of people have said that this might be too soon for me, that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but right now my knuckles are itchy and I just want to get in there and show the world what I can do.

 

“When my promoter Eddie Hearn called me up and said ‘do you want to fight Charles Martin for the world heavyweight title?’ I just said: ‘Let’s roll’.

 

“Opportunity knocks and you have to open the door. I have trained and prepared correctly and am ready for this. There’s no turning back. I just embrace it.

 

“We saw the opportunity when Martin called me out. I was like, ‘OK Mr. IBF calling me out.’ The IBF champ calling out the British champ. I’ve got the heavyweight champion of the world calling me out saying he wants to fight me. I say cool. Let’s rock and roll.

 

“At the end of the day, let’s strip away the heavyweight title and let’s look at the opponent I’m facing. Charles Martin is a southpaw who can box and who can punch a bit.

 

“Facing a southpaw always comes with different angles and different tricks. I can’t go in recklessly because you can easily get counter punched. That’s why sparring is important and having a successful camp is important. I know I’ve done all I can to prepare myself for him.

 

“Let’s welcome Charles into the Lion’s den. He’s coming to The O2 – this is my stomping ground. When I fight here it’s electric and it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere, the best yet. It’s going to be interesting to see how he handles it. What a night it will be if I can lift that belt above my head.

 

“Sometimes you got to put talent to one side and dig deep. This is the fight game; you got to prove to yourself that when tactics aren’t working, you’ve got to dig a bit deeper, go to war and find a way to win. That’s what I thought when I fought Dillian (Whyte). Certain things weren’t working, I was rushing a bit, I wasn’t in my comfort zone, but I dug deep I found a way to win and I ended the night in a spectacular knockout.

 

“After I do the business with Martin, a fight with (Tyson) Fury is 10 au 12 months awayproviding he handles his business in (Wladimir) Klitschko rematch.

 

“I find Fury a bit irritating to be honest. All his antics work for him, I suppose, but I can’t wait to fight him. He’s had plenty to say about me, and it’s coming from the same guy that was singing my praises when I sparred with him when I was a complete novice.

 

“As time goes on, it’s going to get worse for the others because my confidence will grow, I’ll train, learn and take it into the ring.

 

“David Haye? Bring it on. My heart tells me I am ready. I am at championship level now. After I get Martin out of the way, David is a massive name and when we’re ready to get it on it will be a huge fight.”

LONDON (Aprili 6, 2016) – IBF Featherweight World Champion Lee Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter participated in a final undercard press conference on Wednesday at Trinity House as they prepare to faceoff Jumamosi hii at The O2 in London.

 

Highlight coverage of Selby vs. Hunter will air on hii JumamosiShowtime ndondi INTERNATIONAL® matangazo, preceding the live presentation of the IBF Heavyweight World Championship between unbeaten American titlist Charles Martin and fellow unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua. Martin vs. Joshua air live on SHOWTIME® katika 5 p.m. NA/2 p.m. PT.

 

Selby (22-1, 8 Kos) vs. Wawindaji (21-3, 11 Kos) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

Here’s what Selby and Hunter had to say during fight week:

 

LEE SELBY:

 

“I will put on a devastating and clinical performance. I am going to take the fight to him. You are going to see spiteful punches and hurtful shots, so Hunter better be ready.

 

“I will show why I am the IBF World Champion and show people what I can do. If he wants to stand and fight, we can fight. If he wants to box, we’ll box. I haven’t needed to show how tough I am yet and that I can grit it out, because I’ve out-boxed everyone I’ve faced. Hata hivyo, he wants it I don’t mind. If you see me sparring every day in the gym, I just want to have a tear-up.

 

“You don’t win fights like thator at least, I’m instructed not to. I’m told to box all the time but when it comes down to it, I’d love to have a tear-up.

 

“I’ve never had the trash talking and at weigh-ins I’ve never had anyone in my face, but it won’t affect me at all. It doesn’t change my mindset one bit.

 

“I’ve had a little look at him, seen his style. Yeye ni mpiganaji mzuri, he’s awkward, switch hits, has power, so it’s going to be a tough fight.

 

“Eric is my No. 1 challenger and he’s there for a reason. He’s going to give me a real test but that’s what I need.

 

“Fighting in front of British fans is the best atmosphere in boxing. It was a dream to go out to America to defend a World title, but it’s a dream to defend it on home soil in front of 20,000.

 

“There have been some great fighters calling me out. Carl Frampton was talking about me after his last fight, Josh Warrington has called me out a lot of times and Leo Santa Cruz has mentioned me, pia. There are plenty of options but I’ve got to come through this one.

 

“Warrington will never get to my level. He’s done everything asked of him and won all the titles I vacated, and it’s a fight that could be made straight away if he comes through his next fight and I come through mine. Warrington talks about me a lot, and it’s a fight I would definitely be interested in and if we both win our next fights. Maybe it will happen, and it would be a big fight.”

 

ERIC HUNTER:

 

“Selby is a runner, we know he’s a runner, he boxes and runs away. He hasn’t really fought anyone yet. He beat Evgeny Gradovich, who has not really been the same since he fought Billy Dib. He just walked forward with his hands up.

 

“I was rated by the IBF for the longest time. I was rated higher than Lee Selby when he fought Fernando Montiel and when he got Gradovich.

 

“Not to be smart or cocky, but I’d never seen him fight. I never heard of him until the Gradovich fight. And with that fight, I think Gradovich was winning but Selby got the hometown decision. He boxed well. He runs pretty well too.

 

“I can adjust. Siwezi kupambana. Siwezi sanduku. I got better footwork. I can bang. I can do a few things that he probably can’t.

 

“I’m excited about fighting in front of all these people. It gives me the chance to show off my skills. They are going to see a new IBF champion.

 

“I don’t need to win a war of words, I’m going to show what I can do on the night. I love the London fans, I’m looking forward to coming over there and showing them what I can do.”

Eric Hunter in London, Ready to Take Selby’s IBF Featherweight Title This Saturday

 

Upcoming world title challenger Eric “Outlaw’ Hunter is in London and feeling more motivated now than ever to take the title away from Welsh champion Lee Selby.
A proud Philadelphia fighter, Wawindaji (21-3, 11 Kos) will face Selby (22-1, 8 Kos) in a 12-round battle this Jumamosi, Aprili 9, for Selby’s IBF World Featherweight Championship at The O2 in London. The bout will serve as the featured fight before undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Charles Martin defends his belt against fellow unbeaten Anthony Joshua. Extensive highlights of Hunter vs. Selby will be shown on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL®, prior to live coverage of Martin-Joshua (LIVE kwenye Showtime® katika 5 p.m. NA/2 p.m. PT).
I wasn’t invited to the open workout yesterday,” said Hunter. “They had an open workout for Selby and didn’t have one for me. I’m kind of irritated about that. It’s not even fair to the fans, unajua? I’m sure that a lot of fans wanted to see who their man is fighting. I have no choice but to use it as fuel for even more motivation.
The 29-year-old Hunter, in Europe for the first time, says he doesn’t mind travelling to win this championship. Kwa kweli, despite being an underdog via the odds makers, Hunter says his victory won’t be an upset. “I won’t call it an upset when I win. I’m the better fighter. And it doesn’t bother me to come here. All the great ones had to do it. Nataka kuwa kubwa, so I have to do this. As long as they don’t cheat me with the judges, I’m ok.
Hunter says his victory will be the culmination of his lifelong dream. “It would mean everything. It would right my wrongs. All those who doubted me. All my failures and letdowns on the way here. It will turn all my negatives into positives.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SATURDAY TO BECOME 12th CURRENT BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION ON SHO EXTREME® FROM MANCHESTER,ENGLAND

NEW YORK (Desemba. 19, 2015) – Billy Joe Saunders dethroned WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee with a 12-round majority decision Saturday on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL kutoka Manchester, England.

 

kupambana, ambayo lilifungwa 115-111, 114-112 na 113-113, will re-air tonight at 9 p.m. NA/PT juu ya sho SANA.

 

In a matchup of tactical southpaws, an explosive third round from Saunders (23-0, 12 Kos) was the difference. The British challenger floored Lee twice – first with a big right hook and again with a counter right just 30 seconds later – and a dazed Lee somehow survived the 10-7 pande zote.

The Irish Lee (34-3-1, 24 Kos) fought his way back and was the more aggressive fighter in the championship rounds, but it wasn’t enough to make up for a slow start and the two knockdowns.

 

Kwa ushindi, Saunders became the 12th current British world champion.

 

“I’m world champion,” Saunders said. “I beat a good champion today, a good sturdy champion. I used his power against him. When I was boxing he got a little bit careless and dropped his lead hand and I caught him with the hook.

 

“I’m not going to start running my mouth, but it was a good shot. With someone as fast as me you have to keep your hands up. I’m not the biggest puncher in the world, but I showed you there that I can punch.”

 

WBA Middleweight World Champion Daniel Jacobs, fresh off a first round knockout of Peter Quillin two weeks ago on SHOWTIME, was a guest analyst Jumamosi from New York.

 

“I thought he was going to be a big brawler, I thought he had better assets,” Jacobs said of Lee. “He didn’t do enough for me. He was too complacent and after the knockdown you didn’t see that sense of urgency that a fighter has to have on the comeback trail.

 

“All credit due to Billy Joe, but it wasn’t an impressive victory.”

 

After watching the fight, Jacobs wasn’t ready to commit to a unification showdown in 2016 with the winner.

 

“We’ll do whatever makes sense,” Jacobs said. “I think it’s time to sit-down and figure what makes sense. Obviously it’s a good time to be a middleweight champion.”

He’s not good enough to beat me.– Andy Lee

“I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.” – Billy Joe Saunders

NEW YORK (Desemba. 15, 2015) – WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee na undefeated mpinzani Billy Joe Saunders held separate media workouts in Manchester, England, as they conclude preparations for their eagerly awaited showdown this Jumamosi, Desemba. 19, live on SHO EXTREME (5 p.m. NA/PT)from Manchester Arena.

 

Ireland ya Lee (34-2-1, 24 Kos) will make the first defense of his 160-pound title against England’s Saunders (22-0, 12 Kos), the WBO’s No. 1 Middleweight mgombea.

 

The Showtime ndondi INTERNATIONAL sadaka yaBoxNation telecast will feature analysis from SHOWTIME boxing experts Brian Custer, Al Bernstein na Paulie Malignaggibefore and after the world championship showdown. An encore presentation of the bout will air on SHO EXTREME later that evening at 9 p.m. NA/PT.

 

Here’s what Lee and Saunders had to say at their media workouts on Tuesday and Jumatatu, mtiririko:

 

Andy LEE:

“I have a punch that can end a fight, lights out, in any given second.

 

“I won’t rely on the punch. I will look to dominate from the start with educated pressure.

 

“I’m feeling very dangerous at the moment.

 

“Saunders’ unbeaten record is a disadvantage. He’s always been in fights he’s expected to win and has been well managed by(Frank) Warren.

 

“I’ve never lost a fight on points and I never will on points. If I’m down on the cards I will go out swinging in the last round.

 

“Saunders being a fellow traveler does add another layer, but at the end the day it’s about how good you are and he’s not good enough to beat me.”

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“I’m ready to go for Jumamosi usiku. This is the best camp that I’ve ever had. I’m prepared for the toughest test of my career, but I know that I’m in excellent shape to win this fight and become world champion.

 

“Andy Lee is a tough fighter – he’s proved that by becoming world champion and having the type of career he has had. But I’m undefeated and hungry and know that I’m on the brink of fulfilling a childhood dream. I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.

 

“Training in Spain allows me to lock myself away from all distractions and focus solely on the fight. It’s hard being away from home, but it’s all part of boxing. It’s been a long camp, a tough camp, but after that I know that I’m ready to go through hell to make sure that I’m successful come fight night.

 

“The middleweight division is one of the hottest around and I’m prepared to fight any of the other champions in there once I win the title.

 

"Danny Jacobs had a great win against Peter Quillin, and then there is Canelo (Alvarez) na (Gennady) Golovkin. I know the importance of this fight for the division and I want my name to be among the very best. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I’m open to fight anyone.

 

“There has been no trash talk with Andy because we know what each person is about. We share a similar background and neither of us is going to take a back step.

 

“This is going to be a very exciting all-action fight because we’re going to leave it all in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat him and I intend to show the world why I’m among the best around.”

 

Saunders on fellow Brit Chris Eubank Jr.:

“The truth of the matter is that Eubank Jr. does not belong at the world level – he’s a phony. Ni rahisi kama hayo. I wasn’t impressed with his win over Gary O’Sullivan, who I’ve already beat. He thinks he can fool the public with a win like that, but he can’t.

 

“His aim now is to move up and fight the best guys in the world, but we saw what happened the last time he stepped up a notch and faced me: he was badly exposed. The same thing will happen with him if he fights someone like Danny Jacobs for the WBA title.

 

“You’re not the best middleweight in your own country and you want to fight a world champion and say you’re going to beat him? I think it’s a delusion and he thinks he’s greater than he actually is.

 

“Sooner rather than later he’s going to get exposed again as the fraud that he is. You can keep talking, but eventually you have to back it up in the ring against top-level fighters. He’s won his last fight and now he’s back talking (expletive) again like he’s the best fighter in history.

 

“If he has the balls to fight again, which I doubt, I would happily hand him another beating, this time in even more convincing fashion.”
