Also in attendance at the workout was Peterson’s brother, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, who competes in undercard action on the Januar 20 Dogodek.
Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday:
LAMONT PETERSON
“Počutim se odlično. I’m already close to weight. I’m happy and eating up to five times a day. I feel strong and I’m ready for this fight.
“I have to look at this as really just another big fight. When you’re at the top, you try not to make too much of each fight. We know what’s at stake. I know that when I keep it simple, that’s when I perform best.
“Right now my body feels better than ever. I’m comfortable with everything that’s gone on in camp and I think you can see it in my body.
“I’ve always trained hard since the first day I came here as a child. That’s been instilled in me since a young age and it’s carried me throughout my career.
“Everything I do is for D.C. I’m trying to get as much recognition for this area the best way I can. That’s what we all strive for in this gym. This is the biggest one that’s been on the schedule for a while and I’m ready to bring it home.
“It gets easier and easier the more championship fights I’m in. I was in shape for all of them, but I definitely put more pressure on myself when I was young. I’ve improved each time and now I feel like I’m really at the perfect place in my career.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“I have to make a statement. I never feel comfortable with a decision. I think that’s a good thing because I have to be special under the bright lights.
“Everyone knows I like to go to the body. You know I’m going to make him work so you can look out for me to break my opponent down on the Januar 20.
“I’ve been sparring with a variety of experienced fighters over the last year and they’ve helped me out even while I haven’t had a fight. Ring rust is all mental. It’s up to you to put the work in.
“I haven’t gotten the fights that I want, but I’ll always stick to my game and stick to my craft. I know if I persevere, things will work out for me.
“I know that I love this sport. I know that eventually I will be a world champion. I believe in my future and I’m looking forward to big fights.
“It’s inspiring to watch Lamont do his thing and succeed. He’s going to beat Errol Spence, even if people don’t believe it. I think he’s going to take care of business.”
BARRY HUNTER, Peterson je Trainer
“It’s been a long grind in camp for these guys. When I think back on how long we’ve been on this journey, I’m very proud of them. They were 9 in 10 when they first came into the gym.
“We don’t have the weight monster to deal with fighting at welterweight. Lamont is in a great place mentally and physically. I’m looking forward to an explosive fight.
“When you look at the Spence-Brook fight, early on Brook had a lot of success. Down the stretch Errol imposed his will and broke Brook down. I know Errol well and I’ve coached him. He has a strong will. He’s not great in one area, but he’s good in a lot of areas. This is a different kind of guy he’s facing. Heart is something Lamont is nowhere near short on. I think this might start off tactical, and then turn into a war.
“My job is to go in there with part of a plan, but it’s always about adjustments for us. Whatever Errol brings to the table, we’ll figure it out and put everything in motion.
“This last week is a lot of game plan and mental preparation work. A lot of fighters don’t train the mind. You have to train the mind even more so than the body. We have to be ready for every scenario.
“I think if Anthony goes in there and does his job there are a few vacant titles at 140-pounds and that’s a track for us. We want to get a strap around his waist and we’ll face anyone to get it.
“Lamont, along with Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd and Gervonta Davis, have been holding down boxing in this area for a long time. It would be huge to bring this title home. There are a lot of young Lamont Petersons in this area who want to reach this level. It would be a beacon of light shining down and showing these people the way.”

ROBERT VELIKONOČNA (20-0, 14 Kos) – Izdelava tretjo obrambo IBF lahki svetovnega naslova
“Ta boj je mogoče z gotovostjo določiti dober signal za mene v 2018. Bom se kar izjavo s tem boju. Moje zadnje tri borbe nisem dobila Knockout. Bom dajal svoje navijače in boj fans dobro predstavo.
“Bom uporabila svoj doseg in dolžino in uničiti ta fant od zunaj. Vse moje kariere sem bil boj krajše fantje. Vsak kratek človek ne boriti enako. Ampak prideš v ring in ga čutijo, in prilagoditve.
“Nič še zlasti, da moram pripraviti s Fortuna. Vzamem vsak boj enaka. Vsak borec bori drugačna, tako da boste dobili tam, čutijo ga ven in prilagoditve, ko gredo skupaj. Nisem zaskrbljen mu čemer Ljevak. Sem se soočajo veliko Lefties v moji karieri in amaterji. To je brez težav na vseh.
“Mislim, da tisto, kar me še bolj nevaren boksar v tem boju ima višino, da jaz in izsekavanje moč in hitrost in način razmišljanja, kot tudi. Moja miselnost je, da ne bom tam igral z njim. Pripravljen sem, da se uniči.
“Moji cilji za 2018 so, da zajame več naslovov in da bi dobili poenotenje napade. Imeli smo nekaj prvaka v razredu teže, vendar se zdi, da je nihče ni pripravljen boriti druge prvake. Mi smo pripravljeni storiti karkoli je potrebno, boj kdor ima naslovov. Mi smo pripravljeni, da zajame vse tiste naslove, kadar so drugi fantje pripravljeni, da se prijavite za borbe.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Kos) – Nekdanja super lahka stvar svetovni prvak
“Moja priprava za ta boj je šlo zelo dobro. Sem delal v Dominikanski republiki, vendar sem se vrnil v Boston, da končam izobraževanje. Zdaj smo na 75% in zapiranja na 100%. Bom popolnoma pripravljen, ko je čas za boj. Moja priprava in moja strategija, da me bolj nevaren tip.
“Vidim, da je to kot nobena druga boju, ki sem jih imel prej, ker je vsak nasprotnik je drugačen. Vsakdo ima svojo nišo na tej ravni, nekaj, kar deluje za njih. Njegova niša je, da je visok. On uporablja, da v svojo korist. Ampak to ni nič, da ne more premagati. Sem se bori visok fantje pred.
“Raje svoje nasprotnike, da je višja. To je igra na tisto, kar sem sposoben narediti. Nikoli nisem imel težav z Taller nasprotniki. Abner Cotto (5-10) je eden od visokih fantov, ki sem se borili. Boril sem se v Chicagu in dal na veliko uspešnost. (Fortuna dosegel 5th Okrogla KO proti COTTO)
“Moj cilj za 2018 je boj vseh najboljših elitnih borcev v mojem razredu teže, in poskušam postati omenja kot eden najboljših v tem športu. Res bi rad, da osvoji naslov svetovnega prvaka v drugem razredu teže. To bi bil največji trenutek doslej v moji karieri, da bi dobili še naslov svetovnega prvaka.”
MARCUS Browne (20-0, 15 Kos) – Top 10 uvrščen na 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Moj nasprotnik (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Kos) Izgleda trajno, Korenjak. Vidim, da je ta boj pa je zelo zanimivo za ljubitelje dokler traja. Videl sem malo traku na njem. Vem, da je vedno na voljo v tip-top formi, in sem slišal, da je v skladu s svojim nastopom v ringu. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“To je vedno čast, da sem boj doma in v Barclays Centru. To je posebna, da lahko opravlja pred temi navijači in komaj čakam, da dajo na dobre rezultate, ki vodi do Spence vs. Peterson boj.
“Ta boj bi me dal v položaj, da moram biti v boju za naslov svetovnega prvaka. Ne morem manjka na kakršen koli način. Moram priti ven močna z odličnim nastopom od začetka do konca in ne puščajo nobenega dvoma tam.
“Za 2018, Želim, da postane svetovni prvak. Sem odločen tomake se je zgodilo v tem letu. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
Francy NTETU (17-1, 4 Kos) – Borili David Benavidez v Barclays Centru v juniju 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Upam, da je temu tako, saj to se dogaja, je šok, ki mu, ventilatorji in njegova ekipa, ko sem se prvo mesto v vrsti za naslov. Želim soočiti Eleider Alvarez v našem domačem kraju Montreal, ko sem dobil to zmago.
“Moj prejšnji boj v Barclays Centru proti trenutni WBC prvak David Benavidez je očitno zelo slaba odločitev, ki jo sprejme sodnik prekine borbo, še posebej, ko sem bil zmagovalni krog in Benavidez bila upočasnitev. Sem bil še močnejši, ko je bil že šibkejši.
“Sem bil nikoli poškodovan in nikoli ni padel v boju. Želim Marcus sam izziv in videli, če lahko naredi nekaj, nihče ni drugega. Jaz sem navdušena, da je v boju za te velikosti. Marcus, je čas za nas, da bi se navijačem, kaj hočejo!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 Kos) – Prvotno iz Poljske & boj iz Brooklyna
“Ta boj se bo še en korak v smeri, da postane prvak. Vem, da bom moral trdo delati in dokazati, da sem še naprej graditi na mojo zmago proti Szpilka. Od video sem videl na Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 Kos), se giblje veliko, tako da bom potreboval, da bi prekinil obroč. Karkoli je prinaša obroča, Jaz bom odgovor za.
“Tri leta zapored zdaj sem bil boj v januarju. Ljubim speljevanju leto močno. Moja žena in sem dejansko začela tradicija “Kownacki Family Run” pri midnight on New Year’s Eve. Ker sem vedno pripravlja na boj okrog novega leta, smo ugotovili bomo morda tudi zabavali, medtem ko delamo. Torej, bomo imeli nekaj prijatelji pridejo ven in teče nekaj kilometrov z nami po soseski v ognjemet. To je zabavno in pomaga me pripravljeni.
“Navsezadnje, Iščem postati najboljši v težki delitev. Končni cilj za letos je, da postane svetovni prvak. Ampak prvi korak je ob Iago Kiladze zelo resno. I can’t look past Januar 20 zdaj. Imam težka nasprotnika, ki bo izziv in bi mi boljši borec na dolgi rok.”
Iago Kiladze, Tretji boj od poti do težki delitev (2-0, 2 Kos)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Moj trener je Freddie Roach zdaj. sparred sem z (IBF Cruiserweight prvak) Murat Gassiev trikrat v zadnjem času, ki je odlična priprava za mene. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Kakorkoli, Bom zmagala. Jaz sem občutek, da sem bolj usposobljenih borec in da bo pokazal v ringu.
“To je velik boj za mojo kariero in grozen začetek za 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Moj cilj je, da bo svetovni prvak na koncu 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”

2016 Olympic Silver Medalist SHAKHRAM GIYASOV Arrives in U.S.A. to Start Pro Career

Pustite komentar
LAS VEGAS, NV (December 18, 2017) – Uzbekistani superstar and 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist, Shakhram Giyasov, has landed in the United States, and will settle in Las Vegas, NV, to start his pro career. Kot strokovni, Giyasov will campaign in the welterweight division, where he was a sensational amateur standout.
At age 24, Giyasov who stands at 5’9″, is one of the most talented boxers to enter the professional ranks in the last decade. This past summer in Hamburg, Nemčija, the right handed Giyasov captured Gold (Welterweight) pri 2017 Mednarodno združenje za boks (Aiba) World Championships. Giyasov’s victory in the finals against Cuba’s Roniel Iglesias, the 2012 Olimpijsko zlato medaljo, came to no one’s surprise, as the Uzbekistan was the #1 seed entering the tournament. Shakhram was voted best boxer of the tournament by his peers, zmagovalni 56% of the AIBA online poll.
“I have arrived in the United States of America and plan to establish myself as the next great champion from Uzbekistan,” said Shakhram Giyasov. “My goal is to conquer the welterweight division and become a pound-for-pound champion. I set my goals high because I believe in myself and the team I’ve put around me. Together we will go to the top.”
Giyasov, who is a mega-star in his native land of Uzbekistan, is managed by Ruslan Khusinov, an international sports agent with ties to some of the best amateur boxers in the world. His reasoning for bringing Giyasov to the bright lights of Las Vegas was easy, to establish his brand in the mecca of professional boxing.
“We are very please with our decision to bring Shakhram Giyasov to Las Vegas,” said Ruslan Khusinov. “Everyone recognizes Las Vegas as the mecca of boxing and this is where we want to build our foundation. I have big plans to make Giyasov a super-star here in the States, just like back home where his popularity is undeniable.”
Training Giyasov, bo Justin Gamber, who guides the corner of undefeated world ranked contender, Caleb “Sladki Hands” Rastlin (16-0, 10 Kos). Gamber believes Giyasov can jump on the fast track to a world title.
“In today’s boxing game, you have many boxers with high amateur pedigree’s, fighting for a world title before their 15th pro fight,” Justin Gamber stated. “I believe Giyasov fits that mold. I can see him fighting for a world title early in his career.”

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 s 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, Arizona, and Louisiana.

The main event of LFA 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 30 – Millender vs. Barnes takes place Petek, January 12th at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, California.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. V glavni dogodek, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “Wolfman” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place Petek, January 19th at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. V glavni dogodek, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. V sodelovanju strešne strukture, red-hot Ryan “Superman” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place Petek, January 26th at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 p.m. IN / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, Navedena Soares. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on January 12th. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
Mill Ends (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
The main event of LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. Na papirju, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Vendar, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. Moffett, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). The man known as “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
The co-main event of LFA 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Superman” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 minutes and 28 sekund.
V septembru 2016, Legacy FC and RFA officials announced that they would be merging to form the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) starting in January 2017. Legacy FC and RFA have launched the careers of over 150 athletes that have reached the pinnacle of MMA by competing in the UFC.

Tukaj je tisto, kar tiskovne udeleženci konference imeli za povedati sreda:
Errol SPENCE JR.
“You’re going to see the same Errol Spence that you’re used to. I can’t look ahead because I know how dangerous Lamont Peterson is. I’ve been in training camps with him and I know what he can do.
“I’ve seen too many fighters look down the road and get beat before they get to the big fight. I have to be 100 percent focused and hungry. I’m fully dedicated to this fight.
“Lamont can push me to even greater levels. I feel like he is a better fighter than Kell Brook and has even more heart than Kell Brook and he can bring out the best in me.
“I think it’s going to start out as a boxing match, but as we go on, it’s going to be a dog fight. We both have big hearts. I’ve never known Lamont to turn down any fight. Not a lot of people wanted to fight me. The big names shied away from me but Lamont stood up and said he’d fight me. This is going to be a hard fight.
“I used to watch Lamont and his brother Anthony Peterson before I ever met them. I like their styles, the way they throw body punches and the fundamentals that they learned from Barry Hunter.
“I think I can be known as the best pound-for-pound in the sport, but I have to take it one fight at a time. I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion. That should be everyone’s ultimate goal – to be the best fighter in the sport. But first I have a big test ahead of me Januar 20.
“This is the business of the sport. I was a young guy when Lamont was giving me advice. Now we’ve gotten to this point. It really shows his longevity in the sport and how I’ve reached the ranks of being a top pro fighter.
“Sparring with Lamont Peterson was really great work. To je bila učne izkušnje. I was an amateur so I was going at a fast pace and Lamont was being patient, blocking and countering and picking his shots. He was fighting at a pro pace and I didn’t really understand it until I got farther into my career.
“You’ve seen me and Lamont fight. We’re not in boring fights. We have fan-friendly styles and you’re going to get a really good fight. We have the mentality to really go after it and give it our all to get this win.
“I want the best in this division to all fight each other. It’s time for everyone else to stand up and proclaim that they want to be great. That’s how we get this division to the peak. I don’t feel like waiting to fight the best. I want to prove myself.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“This is a world title fight and I’m thankful for that. I try not to make too much out of each fight. I just want to take it one fight at a time. I’ve done this for 13 years as a professional. All fights are the same. I’m going to go in there and take care of business.
“As a top fighter, you’re obligated to take what comes on the table. Regardless of who it is. It’s boxing. It’s a sport and we’re competitors. We want to go in there and compete to see who’s the best. We’re going to treat it like business like we always do.
“You already know when I fight, it’s a feeling out process to start, but in my head, Jaz sem pripravljen iti. It’s going to get rough in the trenches and we’ll see who wants it more.
“I knew six years ago when Errol was in my camp that we’d get to this point. I knew he would be a champion. Večinoma, I’ve seen him improve and progress throughout the pro ranks and I believe he’s going to keep getting better.
“I don’t pay any attention to the outside noise. I respect everyone’s opinion. I just go out and train to do what I love to do. I do this because I love to box. I’m not here to get on a list. I truly love this sport.
“I can’t worry about people thinking that Errol is the next star in this sport. I believe that, but I can’t worry about it. It is up to me and my team to come up with the right type of strategy and execute it.
“I’m not too worried about figuring out his southpaw stance. I’ve been around long enough and encountered enough southpaws. I’m confident I’ll be able to handle it.
“The size may seem like an advantage for Errol, but it’s up to me and my team to figure out the best way to negate it. I know who I am. I’m a competitive person. Regardless of everything, I’m going to come to win.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence je trener
“We have a game plan in place. We’ll try to perfect everything leading up to this one. We’re working on making Errol a more complete fighter every time out. He’ll be better than he was when you saw him against Brook.
“We’re looking for the perfect fight. It takes a great fighter to bring out the greatness in another great fighter. These guys are high caliber fighters and it’s about as good a matchup as you can have in the division.
“These are two guys with the mentality to go after it. But they also have technical skill. This is going to be an old school fight between guys with real skills.
“It’s one thing to do it, but it’s another to teach. I’ve really understood this sport since I became a trainer. Fighters are developed, not born. I’m going to keep working with these guys on the fundamentals so we can bring up the whole sport.”
BARRY HUNTER, Peterson je Trainer
“When I look at Errol Spence, I instantly fell in love with him because he reminded me of Lamont so much. They both have that dog mentality. I’ve always known he was a special fighter.
“Lamont told me when he worked with Errol that he really liked the kid. He knew he would be a world champion. I had to remind myself that this is business. We have to fight our friends.
“These are the two guys who are ready to fight anybody. The fight on Januar 20 is going to be one to remember. It’s a fan-friendly fight.
“Errol Spence is the best fighter in the welterweight division. You have athletes that can fight and athletes who are fighters. Errol and Lamont are both. They have the skills and they have the ability to fight.
“To be the best in the world, you have to fight the best in the world. All the greats have done it. In order to get back to the glory days, we need to put the best against the best. I have confidence in Lamont Peterson against anybody.”
LOU DIBELLA, Predsednik DiBella Entertainment
“There are very few fights you could make that are better in the welterweight division than this fight. It’s going to take place at the home of big-time boxing, here at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME.
“Errol Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Some think he could be the best fighter in the world. He’s consistently said he only wants to fight the best and on Januar 20 he will be fighting another champion and another great welterweight. Lamont Peterson never backs down from a challenge and we know he’ll be ready for this fight on Januar 20.
“This is a great event that continues the run of significant meaningful matchups on SHOWTIME. It’s been great quality programming. The fight cards have all been incredibly easy to promote because the fights have been so strong. You have to make fights with great fighters battling other great fighters. That’s what we need to energize our fans and our sport.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive VP & Generalni direktor, Showtime Šport
“As we come to the end of 2017 we look back on what has been a really strong year. 25 nights of live boxing, 80 live boxing matches and 27 world title boji. Not just title fights, but world title fights featuring top ranked challengers against top ranked champions.
“We’ve brought you the most watched fight of the year in Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia right here at Barclays Center on CBS. It was also the most watched primetime boxing match in nearly 20 let. But we will not be resting on our laurels.
“We’ll kick off next year with an incredibly strong card. Errol Spence has grown up on SHOWTIME and we’re proud of that. He made his debut on ShoBox and won his world title on SHOWTIME. He has knocked out nine straight opponents and in his last five fights his opponents have an impressive record of 141-7-3.
“Not a lot of fighters are rushing to fight Errol Spence. Lamont Peterson not only stepped up to the challenge, but he relinquished his welterweight title to take this fight. That’s the kind of fighter he is. He has one of the strongest resumes in the division and he’s fought the best guys in the sport.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the year with this matchup. It’s another great fight in the welterweight division, a division we’ve been paying a lot of attention to for years. We’ll see you on Januar 20.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
“We’re coming off of an incredible 2017 for BROOKLYN BOXING. It far exceeded my expectations. We’re very committed to boxing, not just now, but in the future. This fight kicks off what I think will be a great 2018 for BROOKLYN BOXING.
“Lamont was on the first ever PBC card at Barclays Center in 2015 and Brooklyn is happy to have you back. Errol was here in the spring of 2016 and we’ve had him as a fan several times, but we far prefer having you here in the ring.
“Barclays Center is known for hosting 50-50 fights and this is no different. We’re thrilled to be holding this event here in Brooklyn. We look forward to seeing you on Januar 20.”

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will return to northern Texas next month at LFA 28 with a pair of talented veterans facing undefeated prospects at the top of the card.
V glavni dogodek, Legacy FC standout Evan “The Butcher” Cutts faces top undefeated prospect Jaleel “The Realest” Willis in a welterweight war. V sodelovanju strešne strukture, UFC vet Damon “The Leech” Jackson squares off with undefeated Kansan Thai “Landshark” Clark in a lightweight showdown. LFA 28 – Cutts vs. Willis takes place this Petek, December 8th at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas. Celotna Glavna kartica bo na televiziji v živo in po vsej državi na AXS TV na 9 p.m. IN / 6 p.m. PT.
“Evan Cutts is a long-time Legacy FC standout that has made a name for himself by taking out big name prospects,” Navedena Soares. “He will make his LFA debut against Jaleel Willis, who is one of the top undefeated welterweight prospects in the sport. LFA started at The Bomb Factory in Dallas in January and returned in July. LFA 28 will continue our exciting history in Big D on Petek, December 8th.”
Tickets for LFA 28 – Cutts vs. Willis are available for purchase NOW at TheBombFactory.com.
Cutts (8-3) is a longtime Legacy FC standout that will be making his LFA debut in front of his friends and family in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Območje. “The Butcher” has made a career out of cutting through the dreams of highly-touted prospects, while proving to be one of the most formidable ground specialists in the 170-pound division. V 2011, not long after his 20th birthday, the now 26-year-old Texan made his pro debut and quickly gained global recognition later that year. This happened when he faced Reagan Penn, the prodigious younger brother of UFC Hall of Fame member B.J. Penn. Cutts eagerly took the high-profile bout and made the most of his opportunity by defeating the jiu-jitsu wunderkind. Cutts later reached the quarter-finals of Bellator’s hit reality television show Fight Master. Now the Legacy FC standout is looking to hand another highly-touted prospect his first career loss in the main event of LFA 28.

Willis (8-0) makes his LFA debut to much fanfare. Widely-regarded as one of the top prospects in the world at 170-pounds, the Memphis native has done it all and made it look easy up to this point. The Bellator and WSOF vet has run roughshod over the competition throughout his three and a half year career. After winning a regional title in his hometown over the summer, Willis signed a multi-fight contract with LFA, the leading developmental organization for prospects looking to reach the UFC. His first assignment as an LFA fighter will be the perfect task for the hungry, young welterweight. The 25-year-old heads into enemy territory to face a man many consider a true “prospect killer” in the headlining bout of LFA 28. If successful, the man known as “The Realest” could cement his case as the realest threat to current LFA welterweight champion James Nakashima, while also pushing himself up the overall pound-for-pound prospect list.

The co-main event of LFA 28 will feature another showdown between a battle-tested veteran looking to regain past glory and an aspiring undefeated prospect looking for a marquee win. Three-time UFC vet and former Legacy FC featherweight champion Damon “The Leech” Jackson is moving back up to the lightweight division, which is the same weight class where he made his UFC debut on the main card of UFC 177. He will take on undefeated Bellator vet Thai “Landshark” Clark, who will be competing in his first live televised fight. The Kansas native is looking to take advantage of this opportunity by staying undefeated against his toughest test to date.
Glavni Card (Televised on AXS TV at 9 p.m. IN / 6 p.m. PT):
