v Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (Červen 3, 2019) – Super welterweight mistr světa Tony Harrison Minulý týden si při tréninku poranil kotník a odstoupil z obhajoby titulu proti bývalému mistru světa Jermell Charlo který byl naplánován jako titulek FOX PBC Fight Night na FOX a FOX Deportes v neděli, Červen 23 v Mandalay Bay Events Center v Las Vegas.

Harrison má vnitřní a vnější výron kotníku s přetrženými vazy v pravém kotníku a bude venku 10 týdnů, než bude moci pokračovat výcvik. Harrison a Charlo plánují odvetu koncem tohoto roku.

Nastoupit a nahradit Harrisona ve 12kolovém boji je vždy nebezpečnýJorge Cota (28-3, 25 KO), který naposledy ztratil a sporné rozdělení rozhodnutí v dubnu na FS1 proti Jeison Rosario. Ten 31letý z Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexiko zaznamenalo tři vyřazovací vítězství v řadě před dubnovou porážkou.

“Sledování mého mexického bratra Andyho Ruize minulý víkend bojovat, já jsem velmi motivovaný,” řekla Cota. “Viděl jsem, jak dostal nečekanou příležitost stát se šampionem a překvapit svět. Inspiroval mě k vítězství v tomto boji stejně. června šokuji svět 23 stejně jako Andy sobota, pro Mexiko, zemi, kterou miluji. Toto je nejdůležitější boj mé kariéry.”

“Jak jsme viděli z neuvěřitelného rozrušení Andyho Ruize na Anthonyho Joshua v sobotu večer v zápase o mistrovství těžké váhy, nahrazení stíhačky nelze brát jako vtip,” řekl Tom Brown, Prezident TGB Propagace. “Jorge Cota je nebezpečný bojovník. Má těžké ruce a hledá příležitost k vyjádření. Jermell Charlo si uvědomuje jak je to vážné a chce získat svůj titul zpět. Vím, že jde být připraven učinit vlastní prohlášení.”

Devětadvacetiletý Charlo si nyní bude muset na svou příležitost počkat pomstít jedinou prohru své kariéry a získat zpět svůj titul proti Harrisonovi. Boj z Houstonu, Texas, Charlo vyhrál uvolněný titul WBC s a zničující knockout vítězství nad Johnem Jacksonem v 2016. Udělal tři úspěšná obhajoba titulu s knokauty nad Charlesem Hatley a Erickson Lubinovi, plus většinová výhra nad bývalým šampionem Austin Trout.

“Připadá mi to jako zlomené srdce,” Said Charlo. “Byl jsem připraven zničit Tonyho Harrisona a teď se tam dostanu a zničím Cota. Vždy se modlím za svého soupeře, aby měl bezpečnou péči a dostal se do boje zdravý. Je nešťastné, že Tony Harrison není mou další obětí. já chci nejlepší Harrison, takže chci, aby byl uzdravený a připravený jít, protože to bude jedině vytáhnout ze mě to nejlepší.

“Mám pocit, že mi byl odebrán titul a byl držen jako rukojmí Chci to zpět. Projdu čímkoli, abych to dostal zpět. V okamžiku, kdy je vyčištěn k boji Chci zápas a dostanu svůj titul zpět. jdu dovnitř červen 23 za dominantní vítězství s divokým přístupem a myšlením zničit, protože vím, že to už nemůžu nechat na rozhodčích.”

Harrisonovo zranění je nejnovějším obratem v super welterové váze divize, která začala loni v prosinci, kdy se Harrison a Charlo poprvé střetli se odehrálo živě na FOX. Harrison vyhrál rozhodnutí naštvat Charla a odvézt název. Blízký charakter zápasu pomohl zaručit okamžitý odvetný zápas která slibuje, že bude stejně nabitá a dramatická. Julian “J-rock” Williams zaznamenal tvrdě vybojované jednomyslné rozhodnutí nad Jarrettem Hurdem jako IBF a tituly WBA změnily majitele také v květnu.

Tento neúspěch pro Harrisona, který je z Detroitu a byl vyškolen na začátku své kariéry zesnulým Emanuelem Stewardem, je další výzvou pro 28letý šampion. Harrison byl na cestě k titulu, než trpěl první prohru v kariéře 2015 na Willieho Nelsona. Po třech rovně vyhrává, vysloužil si šanci na prázdný titul 154 liber proti Jarrettu Hurdovi. I když Harrison měl v boji silné momenty, nakonec prohrál s Hurdem a byl nucen znovu vylézt na vrchol. Po dalších třech vítězstvích, včetně vítězství nad bývalou šampionkou Ishe Smithovou, Harrison toho využil druhá příležitost pro titul mistra světa proti Charlovi.

Fanoušci, kteří sledují stanice FOX a FOX Deportes v hlavním vysílacím čase a navštěvují Mandalay Bay Events Center, čeká v neděli večer nabitý akcí.”

Harrison (28-2, 21 KO) se ukázalo být “Detroit těžký” během boxerské kariéry inspirované ranými léty, které trénoval a řídil zesnulý Emanuel Steward. Dvakrát se musel vrátit do boje o titul, než se dostal na vrchol svým jednomyslným vítězstvím nad Charlem loni v prosinci..

Harrison byl na cestě k titulu, než utrpěl první ztrátu v kariéře 2015 na Willieho Nelsona. Po třech výhrách v řadě, vysloužil si šanci na prázdný titul 154 liber proti Jarrettu Hurdovi.

Mám v plánu udělat Jermellovi přesně to samé, co jsem udělal v prosinci. jdu pro výhru, a pak už nechci slyšet žádný pláč nebo výmluvy.”

28letý Charlo (31-1, 15 KO) utrpěl první neúspěch své kariéry s těsnou jednomyslnou prohrou s Harrisonem. Boj z Houstonu, Texas, Charlo získal prázdný titul WBC drtivým knockoutovým vítězstvím nad Johnem Jacksonem v 2016. Získal tři úspěšné obhajoby titulu s knockouty na hlavní kotouč nad Charlesem Hatleym a Ericksonem Lubinem, plus výhra většinového rozhodnutí nad bývalým šampionem Austinem Troutem.

“Jsem v nelítostném stavu mysli. Jsem naštvaný a tento nadcházející boj, jdu to dát 110 procento,” Said Charlo. “Mám teď mnohem větší hlad než předtím. Nejsem zoufalý z vítězství, protože vím, jak vyhrát. Rozhodčí mi dali špatné rozhodnutí, protože jsem nedostal knockout, ale nemusíte všechny knokautovat, abyste je porazili. Ví, že mě neporazil. Přesně ví, co se stalo. Ví, že mě nemůže porazit. Jestli tam budu muset jít a dokázat to znovu, budu.”

Rigondeaux (18-1, 12 KO) se pokusí předvést mistrovské technické dovednosti, které z něj udělaly sjednoceného mistra světa a stálého člena seznamu libra za libru, když vstoupí v červnu do ringu. 23. Dvojnásobný zlatý olympijský medailista rodné Kuby, Rigondeaux si udělal jméno vítězstvími nad takovými, jako je Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos a Joseph Agbeko. Tento 38letý hráč naposledy vyřadil Giovanniho Delgada v lednu na FS1.

Boj z tlalnepantla, Mexiko, Obočí (32-3, 28 KO) vyhrál prozatímní titul mistra světa v super bantamové váze 2015 zastavením Huga Ruize v pátém kole. 26letý hráč by v odvetném zápase ztratil celý titul s Ruizem 2016, ale od té doby vyhrál dva ze tří zápasů, včetně knockoutu Anselma Morena.

Atlantic City (Duben 13, 2019) – Claressa Shields is the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. The 24-year-old Flint, mě. native delivered the best performance of her career and cruised to a unanimous decision over Germany’s Christina Hammer Saturday on SHOWTIME in arguably the most significant women’s boxing match in history. Soudci bodovali souboj 98-92 a 98-91 dvakrát.


The two-time Olympic gold-medalist Shields (9-0, 2 KO), who entered the fight holding the IBF, WBA and WBC 160-pound titles, showed off her complete arsenal of skills in the dominating performance and now joins Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk and women’s welterweight Cecilia Braekhus as the only fighters to have unified all four major world titles in any weight class.


Christina Hammerová (24-0, 11 KO), who owned the WBO belt entering the fight, had her jab largely neutralized and her defense exploited from start to finish. Shields landed a remarkable 44% of her power punches and landed on 112 total punches compared to just 49 for Hammer. As impressive as her offense was, Shields’ defense and head movement was immaculate as Hammer was able to connect on just 13% of her total punches, 11% of her jabs and 18% of her power shots.


Speaking to SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood following the historic night for women’s boxing, the outspoken and emotional Shields held nothing back.


“I am the greatest woman of all time,” said Shields, who nearly earned a stoppage during a barrage in the closing moments of the eighth round. “I did it. She didn’t win a single round. I almost knocked her out. I swear I feel like I’m dreaming right now. Thanks to Christina Hammer and her team. They said she had a hard jab and they weren’t lying. Her jab is off the chain.


“I was just calculating in the first round and after that I started picking her apart,” she continued. “I knew I could hurt her. I thought I finished her in round eight. I thought the fight should have been stopped. She was holding onto me. I just told myself, stay cool, stay cool. I was trying to get the perfect punch to get her out of there.”


Fresh off the biggest win of her professional career, the newly-crowned undisputed champion of the world already has her sights set on another opponent.


“Women’s boxing, we’re on fire. I cannot wait to see the next super fight. Give me Cecilia Brækhus at 154 liber. That’s who I want next. Either her or Savannah Marshall.”


“I didn’t fight very good or fast,” said a subdued Hammer. “That’s boxing, anything can happen. I wanted this fight. She won, respect to her. She’s a tough, strong woman and that’s all I can say.


“She’s fast, she comes forward. She has fast hands. I couldn’t land my jab as good as I expected. I’ll come back and I’ll be back stronger.”


I think tonight’s fight will go down in the history books as an epic battle with the likes of Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Hearns and De La Hoya-Trinidad,” řekl Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions.With this dominating and captivating performance to become crowned undisputed middleweight champion coupled with her list of record-breaking accomplishments, Claressa Shields is well on her way to being as revered as Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Serena WIlliams, Michael Jordan, Pele and others at the top of their game.


V co-představoval záchvat, Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, kept his unbeaten record intact with a 10-round unanimous decision over former No. 1-ranked U.S. amateur Rydell Booker (25-2, 12 KO). Soudci bodovali souboj 99-91 a 98-91 dvakrát.


The 25-year-old Franklin dictated the tempo throughout and was far more active and aggressive than his 38-year-old counterpart. Booker had his moments, particularly in the early rounds when he landed several flush power shots but the youthful Franklin pulled away in the second half of the fight as Booker tired and Franklin targeted the body. Franklin averaged 54 punches per round to Booker’s 35 and led 146-94 v celkovém dopadu úderů.


“I think I had a decent performance,” said the Saginaw, mě. rodák. “There’s some stuff I could work on. I over-crowded myself a little bit and I was a little over-anxious. He had a lot more experience than me and used it to his advantage. He could see what I was doing.


“I learned to stay more patient because I had him hurt a few times, but once I got over-anxious, my whole game plan went out the window. I started messing up and making crazy mistakes I shouldn’t have. Now it’s back to the drawing board to work on my mistakes and come out bigger and badder next time.”


“I felt he out-hustled me, but it was a lot closer than how the judges scored it,” said Booker. “He was missing me a lot more than it looked. I slipped a lot of shots and hit him clean.


“I knew he would bring the pressure, but he needs a lot of work. He stays too centered with his head. He’s alright. What he has on his side is youth. I’d rate my performance about a seven. I had a training camp injury I was dealing with. I’m going to stay active and come back stronger than ever.”


V televizní vysílání otvíráku, undefeated top-five ranked heavyweight prospect Otto Wallin (20-0, 13 KO, 1 ND) and Baltimore’s Nick Kisner (21-4-1, 6 KO, 1 ND) had their 10-round bout cut short when the two heavyweights clashed heads in the opening round. Wallin suffered a gash on the side of his head while Kisner suffered a cut over his right eye, hindering his ability to see. At the advice of the ringside physician in between rounds one and two, referee Earl Brown stopped the fight, resulting in a no-decision.


V době do zastavení, Wallin led 14-3 v celkovém dopadu úderů, 7-1 in jabs and 7-2 v elektrárnách razníků.


"Ke mně, his cut didn’t look that bad,” said a disappointed Wallin, kdo dělal jeho U.S. debut. “It’s a shame because I trained really hard for this fight and was looking to put on a show for fans in America. I just didn’t have time to get going.


“I’d like to get back in there soon and show what I can do. I’m going to take this as a learning experience.”


“I caught a headbutt and the referee came to me,” said Kisner. “He saw me swiping at my eye and said ‘can you see?’ I said, ‘soon as I get the blood out of my eye, sure.’


“I feel horrible after training so hard. I felt good in the first round. The judges probably gave him the first round, but I always take off the first round. I was feeling like I could get to him eventually. You saw me land my overhand right.”


Tonight’s live event was promoted by Salita Promotions.


An encore presentation of tonight’s tripleheader will air Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via the network’s On Demand platforms.

Atlantic City, N.J. (Duben 5, 2019) – Before she arrived in New York Thursday for the final part of her training camp, WBO Middleweight mistr světa Christina Hammerováshared her thoughts on her showdown for the Undisputed Middleweight Championship against WBA, WBC and IBF Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields Sobota dubna 13 živě na SHOWTIME z Boardwalk Hall v Atlantic City, N.J.

Germany’s Hammer has held a middleweight world title since 2010, defending it numerous times including in her U.S. debut last June on SHOWTIME in which she defeated Tori Nelson. Now she looks to stamp her name in the history books in this matchup against Shields that many are calling the most significant fight in women’s boxing history.

Vstupenky na koncertě, která je podporována Salita Promotions, jsou ceny na $150, $100, $55 a $35 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster and atboardwalkhall.com.

Here are highlights of what Hammer had to say as we head into fight week for this historic event:

How excited are you about fighting in the U.S.?

Christina Hammerová: I’m really excited about it because this is a very big fight. I can’t wait to get there, step into the ring and put on a great performance.

Co to znamená pro vás boj?

CH: This is going to be the biggest women’s fight in history. Oba jsme šampiony, she has Olympic gold medals and other accolades, so with all of that combined, it’s going to be a game changer for our sport.

What do you need to do to win?

CH: “I’m a long time champion and I know what to do in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat her. I have great foot work and my goal is to beat her badly.

What do you think of Claressa inside and outside of the ring?

CH: Claressa has obviously accomplished a lot going back to the Olympics. This is a big step for her and I think it’s going to be a challenge for her. As a person, she’s just my opponent, that’s all.

Can you describe your style of fighting and what fans can expect on April 13?

CH: “I’m tall for my division so I use my reach. I have great footwork and technique and power and I want to show off all those skills. I’m going to show that Christina Hammer is a great champion. I like to play with my opponent, and when the moment is right, I beat her down.

Can you talk about your experiences as a fashion model and why that’s important to you?

CH: I like modeling because it’s a different part of me. You can be more feminine and athletic. I did my first shoot three years ago and I had never done anything like that. I’ve worked on my skills there too.

To be a model is an easy job, it just gives me confidence. Being a fighter is hard. You have to give everything, because in the ring you can’t run away. You have to fight and defeat someone.

Would you ever want to compete in another sport?

CH: “Nevím. Boxing is the best sport to me. It’s my passion. I give everything to the sport and my dream now is to be successful in America.

Is there anyone in boxing history you’d have loved to fight?

CH: Laila Ali was a great champion and If I fought her that would be a great fight.

Do you see women’s boxing as a sport on the rise?

CH: “Ano, it’s really grown in recent years. There are more fights on big platforms for us and I think this is just the start.

Would you recommend for other women to go into boxing?

CH: Boxing is a great sport. You need technique, intelligence and it makes you feel more confident. If something happens, you can take care of yourself. It’s the best workout and I suggest it to everyone.

Shields has been training in Florida for the last week with her trainer John David Jackson, after spending the previous five weeks at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Here is what Shields had to say Thursday:


 
CLARESSA ŠTÍTY


 
“Christina doesn’t know what’s coming for her. I’m going to break that Hammer in half.


 
“When we’re in there, it’s about who punches harder. To je skutečný boj. Just because she has height, doesn’t mean she’s going to dictate what happens. She’s going to have to do a lot to keep me off of her.


 
“I have two Olympic Gold Medals, three belts and more coming. I’ll have all the titles at the end of the night on April 13.


 
“I work hard, really hard. If I was a man, I would probably be one of the most famous boxers out there. There is a gender gap. We all know it. I’m working towards changing that. We work hard, we get less money and less recognition, but the world is changing. We are changing it.


 
“Hammer has been talking smack but I’m not worried about her. I’m just ready for a fight. She talks about a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with boxing. I’m waiting for her to say she’s going to hit me with an uppercut or something, but it’s more of the same.


 
“Being here in Florida to finish up camp has really been ideal. I’ve still been working extremely hard, but here I have a little extra space and sunshine. It was time for some new scenery in camp and I think this was the perfect move to take me into fight week.


 
“I’ve been working on my ‘Ali shuffle,’ this gym inspired me. Don’t be surprised if you see me break it out during the fight. I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve. At the press conference there will be some surprises too — I have an outfit picked that is going to steal the show.”


 
“This fight is long overdue and I’m just glad I’m going to get my chance to show her what a real champion is. Someone is going down on April 13 and I promise it’s not going to be me.


 
“People can say they’re not paying attention to you and not studying you, but they’re lying. I’m glad she’s looking at me closely though. Hammer flew one of my friends out there to be a sparring partner, not even knowing that she hasn’t sparred me in years and knows nothing about me. It makes me know I’m on her mind. She can spar with Ann Wolfe and she still isn’t going to beat me.”

Franklin Battles Rydell Booker While Wallin Faces Nick Kisner Live on SHOWTIME® Sobota, Duben 13 Leading Up to Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer Main Event from Boardwalk Hall
v Atlantic City, N.J.


Atlantic City, N.J. (Duben 3, 2019) – Unbeaten rising heavyweight contendersJermaine Franklin a Otto Wallin will be looking to make a splash and announce themselves in the heavyweight division when they step in for separate bouts live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Duben 13 from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader will air beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT and is headlined by Claressa Shields battling Christina Hammer for the undisputed women’s middleweight championship.

Franklin will face Rydell Booker while Wallin takes on Nick Kisner in a pair of 10-round attractions leading up to the main event. For both Franklin and Wallin, they see April 13 as a step towards their larger goals.

Booker is in the way of where I’m eventually trying to be,” said Franklin. “I’m part of that next generation of heavyweights and I’m working hard to end up as the heavyweight champion when the dust settles. I always find a way to win and I’m going to show it on April 13.

Coming to the U.S. for the second part of my career is very exciting,” said Wallin. “I’ve accomplished a lot in my career in Europe but this is a new beginning. This is the moment I’ve been dreaming of since I first laced up mitts and I can’t wait to introduce myself to the fans here.

A 25-year-old from Saginaw, Michigan, Franklin hopes to show that he’s primed to become the next American heavyweight champion, and is ready to take the mantle from current WBC titlist Deontay Wilder and the long line of American heavyweight champions that came before him.

I’m going to raise the competition amongst the heavyweights,” said Franklin. “The division is definitely back on the map and I’m planning on having a hand in making it must-watch TV once again. America needs another face in the heavyweight division and that’s going to be me.

I already believe that I am the best heavyweight in the world. There are a lot of big, strong heavyweights, but I’m a balanced athlete, which makes me different. Jsem silný, rychlý, athletic and getting better with each fight.

Although his native Sweden is not known for boxing, Wallin’s home country has previously produced a heavyweight champion in Ingemar Johansson, who famously stopped Floyd Patterson in their first fight at Yankee Stadium in 1959. After defeating fellow Swedish heavyweight Adrian Granat in his last fight, Wallin decided it was time to fight in the U.S., following previous training camps in New York with trainer Joey Gamache.

Training here in New York brings me a great energy and it shows in my performance,” said Wallin. “It’s the center of the world, and while I’m fully focused on training, I feed off the energy of the city.

Ingemar Johansson is of course a big inspiration for me. When he came to the U.S. and beat Floyd Patterson, he was the baddest man on the planet. I’m looking to take that mantle and become a hero for young Swedish boxers, just like he has been for me.

In addition to being Wallin’s U.S. debut, the unbeaten heavyweights will make their first appearances on SHOWTIME and it will be Franklin’s first time fighting in the northeast. They each hope to show off their respective talents and are prepared for what comes with the increased platform.

This is a great chance for me to showcase my skills, but I still treat it like just another fight,” said Franklin. “I’m going to adapt to my opponent and expose his weaknesses. I’m always improving because once you think you know it all, that’s when you find out you know nothing.

I’m just a kid from a small town in Sweden and I’ve worked hard to get to this point,” said Wallin. “Training here in the U.S. and fighting here is going to help me put on the best performance of my career. The fun begins on April 13 and I’m not stopping until I am champion.

Both recently signed with Dmitriy Salita’s Salita Promotions and on April 13 will begin a year that could leave each fighter on the precipice of a title shot.

“Dne 13 two of the best heavyweight in the world, one from the U.S., one from Sweden, will both have a chance to make a claim that they are ready to challenge for the heavyweight title,” Said Word.

Jermaine Franklin is by far the best American heavyweight prospect who is soon to be a contender and a champion. He will have a great opportunity to showcase his skills and worth against the experienced, hungry and accomplished Rydell Booker.

Boxing is a sport of individual stories and Otto Wallin is a great example of that. A top-rated heavyweight from a small town in Sweden, he is showing that dreams, combined with hard work, can come true. He is one of the best heavyweight contenders from Europe and on April 13 he will show that he belongs with the elite in the U.S.

With this opportunity to announce themselves in the resurgent heavyweight division, Franklin and Wallin are keyed for eye-opening performances next Saturday.

My ultimate goal is to become world champion and I believe right now I’m on the right path,” said Wallin, který je zařazen Žádný. 5 by the IBF and WBA. “I had good years fighting in Europe, but now is the time for me to go to the next level. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m all about and give the fans great fights.

I’m planning to be a major force in the heavyweight division by the end of the year,” said Franklin. “It’s my coming out party. I feel like my dreams are going to come true. I’m going to show everyone who I am: the best new heavyweight in the world.

Vstupenky na koncertě, která je podporována Salita Promotions, jsou ceny na $150, $100, $55 a $35 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster and atboardwalkhall.com.
