Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas on special mission to become heavyweight & bridgerweight World ChampionImportant announcement

קוויבק סיטי, אונטריו, קנדה (מרץ 24, 2021) – Fresh off his recent third-round stoppage of Sylvera “Sly” Louis במשחק הגומלין שלהם, מועצת אגרוף העולם (WBC) לא. 1 rated bridgerweight אוסקר "Kaboom" ריבאס (27-1, 19 קוס) is on a special mission to not only become the first bridgerweight world champion but capture the world heavyweight crown as well.

A 2008 אולימפי קולומביאני, Rivas is currently rated as the WBC’s No. 1-rated contender in the bridgerweight division (-224 קילו.), ולא. 9 in The Ring magazine’s heavyweight rankings.

Prior to his rematch with Louis, Rivas hadn’t fought in 20 months due mainly to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Never-the-less, “Kaboom” remained professional, training throughout his ring absence, and now he’s positioned to fight for the inaugural WBC bridgerweight title.

“I love this sport,” Rivas said from his Montreal home. I dedicate my life to boxing. I never stopped training because I love it and I can’t live without it. אני ספורטאי! The pandemic didn’t make things easy for me or anybody else, especially for a natural heavyweight like me.

"בטבעת, I am having fun, and that’s what drives me. After I was able to knockdown my opponent (לואיס) בסיבוב הראשון, my coach asked me to take advantage of the opportunity to box because I hadn’t fought in 20 חודשים. I hadn’t stepped in the ring and that’s what I enjoy every minute of.”

Even though he’s on the precipice of winning his first world title, as a bridgerweight fighter, Rivas will not be fully satisfied without becoming a 2-division world champion.

“I want to be the bridgerweight and heavyweight World champion without a doubt,” he explained. “My mission is timeless. For some reason, the big boys in the heavyweight division don’t want to fight me. There would have been good reasons for דיליאן ווייט to give me a rematch, to clear any doubts! I love טייסון זעם but when he was looking for a dance partner last December, my name was dropped first even though we had the same promoter. I can only assume that they consider I am too dangerous for them. By becoming the WBC bridgerweight World champion, I assume that those big boys will be more intrigued to fight me, ואני לא יכול לחכות. עכשיו, more than ever.

“I am a heavyweight and I always tried to stay under 235 pounds throughout my career to exploit my speed, so the bridgerweight class became a natural fit for me. עכשיו, I am aiming to become champion of the world in two divisions. Bring them all on!"

Rivas’ most likely will know who his opponent will be for the WBC bridgerweight title fight in June in the coming days. The names often mentioned are No. 3 מדורג בראיינט ג'נינגס(24-4, 14 קוס), 2-time world heavyweight title challenger, or built-up South African cruiserweight, לא. 2 מדורג Kevin Larena (26-1, 13 קוס).

“My team has been working very hard during this unbelievable time (pandemic) to organize a significant fight for me.” Rivas noted. “I just can’t wait to step back into the ring with anybody.”

Rivas still has unfinished business with Whyte, who is the only pro to defeat Rivas, albeit under questionable circumstances. באוגוסט האחרון, Whyte won a 12-round unanimous decision, after been knockdown with an uppercut in the 9ה סיבוב, in their vacant WBC Interim heavyweight title fight, but prior to their fight, unbeknownst to Team Rivas, Whyte had apparently tested positive for a banned substance during training camp. A UK Anti-Doping investigation somehow later cleared Whyte of any wrongdoings.

באוגוסט האחרון, Whyte was knocked out in the fifth round by אלכסנדר Povetkin in their WBC Interim title fight and Povetkin will defend his title this weekend in Gibraltar versus Whyte.

Oscar Rivas can’t wait to let his fists go “Kaboom” on his next opponent, whomever and whenever that is, as he continues his special mission.

אונקאסוויל, קונטיקט. – March 13, 2021 - Former two-time world champion דוד בנבידז kept his perfect ring record intact with an 11ה-round technical knockout victory against veteran רונלד אליס in their WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event on Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, קונטיקט., באירוע פרמייר אלופי אגרוף.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 קוס) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 קוס) של לין, מסה., על 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) at the time of the stoppage.

“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, הוא בחור קשוח. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”

A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, נחיתה 289 של 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11ה round which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 אגרופים. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.

“I want all the big guys,” Benavidez added. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. אני רוצה [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo אלוורז, כלב צמח, all of them.”

אליס, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 שלו 334 דקירות.

“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. הוא מעולם לא פגע בי, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”

The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, מי שהיה 66 שנים, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler

Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. It’s sad and he will be missed. He was a true legend.”

במקרה שיתוף ראשי, אייזיק קרוז (21-1-1, 15 קוס) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s Matias Romero (24-1, 8 קוס) in a 12-round WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator. It marked the first time that the 22-year-old Cruz went 12 rounds in his professional career. The judges’ scorecards read 114-113, 115-112 ו 118-109. הסקורר הלא רשמי של SHOWTIME, סטיב פרודה, כבש את הקרב 115-112, giving rounds 10 דרך 12 to the rising star.

“I’m not happy about the style of the fight but I am satisfied I took the victory home and we’ve come to the No. 1 spot in the WBA,"אמר קרוז. “I didn’t know what was going to happen [as far as the judges]. We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”

Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, עם זאת, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.

“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”

Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, נחיתה 89 של 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. צלב, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 קילו, נחת 145 של 459 אגרופים כוח, לְהָבִיא 91 גוף יריות.

“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”

In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’s טרל Gausha (22-2-1, 11 קוס) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan Jamontay קלארק (15-2-1, 7 קוס) סינסינטי. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 של הסיבוב השני.

“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.

“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”

With his emphatic stoppage win, the 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.

“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

Unhappy birthday coming up for undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

WORCESTER, מסה. (אפריל 15, 2020) – Even in his wildest dreams, undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championג'מיין "הטכנאי" אורטיז (13-0, 7 קוס) never could have ever imagined that his 24ה יום הולדת, later this month, would fall smack in the middle of a worldwide health pandemic

When he turns 24 באפריל 28ה, Ortiz figured he’d be preparing for training camp with a spring fight date set, likely defending his WBC Youth World title of fighting for a regional belt of some sort.

He certainly didn’t think boxing would be banned around the world, gyms closed by a state mandate, and people wearing facemasks and plastic gloves like they’re in a Sci-Fi movie. ו, to boot, his job as a licensed carpenter ended closed shop last Friday. Like everybody else in the Bay State.

Ortiz is basically self-quarantined at home, although he’s still running, אימון, eating well and doing everything else to maintain decent shape. Not elite boxing shape, למרות ש, which simply isn’t possible under these restrictive and trying times.

Instead of sparring, he’s shadow boxing, jumping rope has replaced pad-work with his trainersרוקי גונזלס וקרלוס גרסיה, and now his living room serves as hisחדר כושר.

Times have been dramatically altered, אכן, even celebrating birthdays, which Jamaine fully understands and accepts.

“I don’t think my birthday will be any different,” Ortiz said. “I usually spend it alone with my mother and daughter (4-year-old Amira) and this year probably won’t be any different. I won’t be able to get in a whole bunch of sparring rounds that I usually ask for (צוחק) as presents from some of my friends.“

למרבה המזל, למרות ש, Ortiz was able to fight this past February 28 in his first action in six months, headlining a CES Boxing-promoted card at home in Worcester, מסצ'וסטס, in which he registered an impressive second-round stoppage of Mexican knockout specialist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 קוס), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

אורטיז, presently rated No. 16 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), aspires to attend medical school after he hangs up his gloves for good, to become a doctor/researcher. He reads a lot about medicine, especially holistic treatments, and he believes that he may have already had the coronavirus.

“Five weeks before my last fight,” he explained, “I was in the hospital with a temperature of 104.5. Just about everybody I knew was sick, my grandmother had pneumonia. I never really get sick. I had a flu shot for seven years without an issue. I developed a cough, too. I felt like I was going to die. I can’t say with certainty I had coronavirus (there was no test available then), but I feel like I may have had it.”

Ortiz will be ready for the night the ring bell will finally sound again. “I hope to be fighting again in July or August, אבל, no matter when boxing returns, I’ll be ready to go.

“This is a serious, contagious disease. People should use common sense: wash your hands, stay separated by six feet, and stay at home, especially the elderly and people with respiratory problems. Don’t take any unnecessary risks or panic, either. This isn’t the end of the world!"

CLARESSA SHIELDS RETURNS TO SHOWTIME® VYING TO BECOME FIRST UNDISPUTED WORLD CHAMPION IN TWO DIVISIONS IN FOUR-BELT ERA

Shields To Face IBF Super Welterweight Champion Marie-Eve Dicaire With All Four Major Belts On The Line In 154-Pound Unification Bout

 BOXING BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Saturday, מאי 9 ב 9 p.m. ו / 6 p.m. PT

NEW YORK – March 11, 2020 – Undefeated three-division world champion Claressa Shields will attempt to become the first boxer in the four-belt era to become an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions when she faces unbeaten IBF Super Welterweight Champion Marie-Eve Dicaire in a 154-pound unification bout on Saturday, מאי 9, חי על ההצגה מתחילה(9 p.m. ET p.m / 6. PT) from the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center in Shields’ hometown of Flint, לי.

The winner of the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION main event will walk away with Shields’ WBC and WBO titles, Dicaire’s IBF belt, and the WBA (Super) crown. This is the first time in its 99-year history that the WBA has awarded a Super Champion belt to a female boxer.

Tickets for the Salita Promotions event start at $35 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com and at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center box office.

“I can’t wait to make history again on May 9,” said Shields. “Fighting in Flint in front of all my fans has been a dream of mine since turning pro. Having the opportunity to make history by fighting for the undisputed title in a second weight division is something I’m very proud of. Fighting against undefeated IBF 154-pound champion Marie-Eve Dicaire continues my quest to fight the very best in women’s boxing. And headlining on SHOWTIME again will continue my goal to lift women’s boxing to new heights. I’m going to give Flint and fight fans all over the world a night to remember on May 9!"

“I am very excited for this opportunity and it is an honor to face an opponent like Claressa Shields,” said Dicaire. “I am thankful to my promoter Yvon Michel and everyone involved in making this possible. For me, this is a dream come true. I will be prepared the best I can be and I am ready to leave everything in the ring to win the fight!"

In the four-belt era, only seven fighters have been undisputed in one division, including Shields, קייטי טיילור, ססיליה Braekhus, ברנרד הופקינס, ג'רמיין טיילור, טרנס קרופורד, and Oleksandr Usyk.

 On January 10 באטלנטיק סיטי, N.J., Shields made history by claiming the WBC and WBO 154-pound world championships with a dominating unanimous decision over Ivana Habazin. Shields became the fastest fighter in history, male or female, to win world titles in three different weight divisions, surpassing the records of Vasiliy Lomachenko and Kosei Tanaka, who both accomplished the feat in 12 קרבות.

The 24-year-old Shields (10-0, 2 קוס) overpowered Habazin from the opening bell, utilizing a strong jab and a steady diet of body shots that left the Croatian mostly in defensive mode throughout the 10-round fight. In the sixth round, a series of body shots forced Habazin to take a knee in the first knockdown of her career.

“SHOWTIME has a long history of featuring the best in women’s combat sports, whether it was with Gina Carrano, Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey in MMA, or Laila Ali and Christy Martin in boxing,” said Gordon Hall, Executive Producer of SHOWTIME BOXING: מהדורה מיוחדת. “More recently, we have shown Claressa Shields, כריסטינה האמר, Lightweight Champion Katie Taylor and seven-division champion Amanda Serrano. מגן נגד. Dicaire will be our 12th women’s boxing event since 2017. Claressa’s bout with Dicaire represents another historic battle of unbeatens and attempt for another ‘first’ on SHOWTIME as Claressa looks to become undisputed in two weight classes.”

“I am excited to bring a historic night of boxing to fans in Flint at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center and to those watching on SHOWTIME,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “In Claressa Shields and Marie-Eve Dicaire, we have the two best junior middleweights in the world and two undefeated champions fighting for the undisputed world championship.  In addition to her already historic list of firsts, if victorious, Claressa will become the first two-division undisputed champion in the four-belt era. It will be a triumphant night in Flint on May 9.”

After becoming the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win two consecutive Olympic Gold Medals, Shields turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and headlined the first women’s boxing main event in premium cable television history in just her second professional fight in 2017. Shields, who will be headlining for the seventh time on SHOWTIME, now has her sights on making even more history.

“Claressa Shields continues to be a beacon of light and a trailblazer for women’s boxing, women’s sports, and boxing overall,” said Mark Taffet, Shields’ manager. “Being the only American to win back-to-back Olympic Gold in boxing, having won world titles in three weight divisions faster than any man or woman in boxing history, and now having the chance to be the first person – man or woman – to be an undisputed champion in two weight divisions in the four-belt era, Claressa will continue to add to her list of legendary, unprecedented and history-making accomplishments come May 9. I’m proud to be a part of her journey.”

The 33-year-old Dicaire (17-0) is from Saint-Eustache, קוויבק, קנדה, and started karate at the age of six. She worked her way up through the ranks until she obtained her black belt. After winning five world championship titles, Dicaire turned her attention to boxing and won the IBF Super Welterweight World Championship belt in December 2018 dethroning by decision the Uruguayan Chris Namus at the Quebec City Videotron Center. In her last fight in November of 2019, Dicaire defended her title for the third time beating experienced Venezuelan Ogleidis Suarez by unanimous decision. Dicaire will be fighting outside of the province of Quebec for the first time on May 9 and will be looking to score the upset victory in front of Shields’ hometown fans.

“Marie-Eve Dicaire against Claressa Shields, a battle of two undefeated champions for all the titles – you can’t get a better match in boxing,” said Yvon Michel, Dicaire’s promoter, נשיא GYM. “We have great respect and admiration for all Shields has accomplished but there is no doubt Marie-Eve is the most skilled, strong and dedicated opponent Claressa has faced. We are very confident that all the belts will come back to Canada with us. Thanks to Salita Promotions and SHOWTIME for the opportunity. Marie-Eve Dicaire will provide a great fight for the fans and viewers.”

Davtaev Replaces Otto Wallin, Who Was Forced To Withdraw Due To Minor Injury

NEW YORK – פבואר 26 – Undefeated heavyweight power puncherApti Davtaev will face veteranלוקאס בראון in the 10-round co-main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION on Saturday, מרץ 28, חי על ההצגה מתחילה(10 p.m. ET p.m / 7.

Davtaev replaces heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who was forced to suspend training and withdraw from his scheduled bout due to an injury to his foot.

From Kurchaloi, רוסיה, Davtaev (20-0-1, 19 קוס) has earned a 90-percent knockout ratio with his aggressive style and devastating power. The athletic, 30-year-old has remained active since moving his camp to the United States in 2017 after signing with Salita Promotions. He trains at Kronk Gym in Detroit, מישיגן., under the tutelage of SugarHill Steward, nephew of legendary Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward.

Otto suffered a minor injury and suspending training was the smart thing to do,” said Wallin’s promoter Dmitriy Salita. “He will be back in the ring in no time. למרבה המזל, Apti was in top shape and ready to go. He is a gifted heavyweight and he’ll be on everyone’s radar after March 28.

In his last outing on February 21, the six-foot-five-inch Davtaev handed previously unbeaten John Napari his first defeat with a vicious second-round knockout. A few weeks prior, בינואר 10, he scored an impressive third-round stoppage over veteran Keith Barr. This is his fifth start in the U.S. and first nationally televised bout.

Fighting out of New South Wales, אוסטרליה, בראון (29-2, 25 קוס) most recently scored a knockout victory over John Hopoate in November, his second win of 2019.

הערות מחנה אימונים

(ציטוטים מקנדו קסטנדה)

מחנה אימונים: "הכל כאן היה טוב. אני מוכן להתנדנד ולחזור לזירה. לא תתקשה להשמין למשחק הזה לקרב. השותפים הנדירים שלי הם חבר'ה מקומיים, כמה מקצוענים, וחובבים אחרים. אני אוהב לעזור ללוחמים מתקרבים שרוצים להפוך למקצוענים. יש להם מהירות טבעית ב 18, 19 שנים, אבל כוחם לא התפתח לגמרי, עדיין. הם לומדים ואני מקבל עבודה טובה. שלי לא. 1 שותף דליל, לימון, היה לו יותר מ 100 קרבות חובבים. הסגנון שלו דומה לזה של אלאמו. הוא גבוה וארוך, אבל לא חזק כמו אלאמו. הוא זורק היטב נגיחות ותיבות נהדרות, שיעזור לי כשאני נלחם באלאמו.

יומר אלמו:  "הוא נלחם הרבה מכף רגלו האחורית. הוא אוהב להתאגרף והוא אגרוף נגד טוב.

הוא לא מנוצח אבל מי יודע איך הוא רוצה להילחם?  אני אוהב סנוור-סנוור ואני אלמד במהירות למה אני עומד. "

נלחם בחצר האחורית של אלאמו: "אני בכלל לא מודאג מזה. הקרב הראשון שלי עם איגרוף RJJ היה בלאס וגאס נגד לוחם מקומי, צ'וי גוטיירז, וניצחתי בקרב הזה. לא אכפת לי להילחם בחצר האחורית של יריבי ואני מתרגל לזה. הקרב האחרון שלי היה ברינו נגד לוחם בקליפורניה, שגרה הרבה יותר קרוב לרינו ממני בסן אנטוניו. ונלחמתי בלוחם מקומי בניו המפשייר, כשהיה לי קרב על מפרק. "

איך אתה רואה בעיני רוחך את המאבק הזה:  "אלאמו ייכנס לקרב במחשבה שזה הולך להיות משחק אגרוף, כמעט כמו תערוכה שמתחילה את הקרב. אבל אני הולך להיכנס חזק, כמו קרב רחוב, דופק אותו מסביב. אני אתפוס אותו עם כמה הפתעות, זורק מכות קשות. בסיבוב השלישי או הרביעי, אתחיל לאגרף יותר. ואז זה יהיה יותר מדי בשבילו, ואוציא אותו בסיבוב השמיני או התשיעי. "

טיפ חשוב: "אני חושב שאולי אשיג קרב של אליפות העולם עם ניצחון מרשים. אני נדיר, מתאגרף מיושן. ”

חיזוי:  "השופט יודיע, 'ואלוף ה- NABO החדש ... ..' "

MENG FANLONG EARNS TITLE SHOT VS. BETERBIEV – נראה להביא אושר להולנד בזמן קשה

ה -17 בפברואר, ניו יורק — מנג פאנלונג של סין (16-0, 10 קוס) יילחם ב- IBF & אלוף WBC במשקל כבד קל, ארתור בטרבייב (15-0, 15 קוס), 28 במרץ במרכז הווידאוטרון בעיר קוויבק, קנדה. לעומת בטרבייב. מנג מוצג על ידי דירוג עליון בשיתוף עם קבוצת איבון מישל וגסטב, וישודר בשידור חי ב- ESPN יחד עם קרב משותף בתכנית ב 10 PM ET.

Fanlong, מי מצ'יפנג, סין המונגולית הפנימית, יש לו יותר מסתם תואר העולם שלו שנורה בראש. מדינת מולדתו הושבתה למעשה עקב התפרצות וירוס הקורונה האחרונה.

"רוב מדינתי הושבתה במשך שבועות." אומר מנג. "האזרחים האזרחיים שלי צריכים משהו שיעזור להם להימלט מהתקופה הקשה מאוד הזו. אני מקווה להביא קצת חיוביות, אושר, ושמחה להם עם המאבק הזה. אני רוצה לשים גאווה בלב שלהם. "




ב- 28 במרץ, מנג ייכנס לזירה עם אחד הפונצ'רים המסוכנים ביותר של האיגרוף. האלוף ארתור בטרבייב ניצח בכל קרבותיו המקצועיים בנוקאאוט – כולל מאבק איחוד התואר המרתק שלו נגד אולכסנדר גווודז'יק באוקטובר. מנג נכח באותו לילה בפילדלפיה וצפה בעניין רב.

אך מול אחד הלוחמים המסוכנים ביותר של האיגרוף בטבעת מחוויר לעומת החששות והצרות שמשפיעים על מאות מיליוני סינים ברחבי העולם..

"Fanlong הוא הלוחם הסיני הטוב ביותר בעולם – כולם ילמדו את זה ב -28 במרץ. " אומר יועץ מנג טומי ליין. "זה קרב היסטורי מכיוון שהוא המתאגרף הסיני הראשון שנלחם על אליפות המשקל הכבד. ועם מה שקורה עם וירוס הכלילי, זהו מאבק שיכול להביא שמחה ואנרגיה חיובית לאנשים בתקופה מאתגרת זו. "

לא ידוע מתי וירוס הקורונה יהיה בשליטה או מתי אזרחי הרפובליקה העממית של סין יכולים לחזור לחיים הרגילים..

"המדינה שלי זקוקה לי. נעבור את זה. "
