Anthony Joshua extended his perfect record to 18-0 с 18 knockouts in a dominating defense of his IBF Heavyweight World Championship over American challenger Eric Molina Суббота on SHOWTIME from Manchester Arena in Manchester, Англия. Видео Основные: http://s.sho.com/2hqHTo8.
Joshua floored Molina with a huge left in the third, leaving the Texas native crumpled in the corner. Molina looked dazed and barely beat the count, but he was again in trouble and defenseless seconds later, вынудив рефери остановить бой на 2:02.
После боя, Matchroom Sport managing direction Eddie Hearn announced that Joshua will make the third defense of his title on Апреля 29 against long-reining heavyweight kingpin Wladimir Klitschko at London’s Wembley Stadium.
“Disaster avoided сегодня вечером,” Joshua said. “He started off teeing off with some haymakers early on. There are not too many tactics he can do. It’s hard for him to come in and fight when you aren’t giving him any options. Someone who is boxing with you can give you options, but someone who is boxing on his back feet cannot.”
“This is the start of my story and there will be many more things to come when I step into this ring. I’m not one to talk and I’m not one to mess around, but if I did start talking I think people would find out what I’m all about. I’ve stayed consistent and I’ve stayed patient and I’m still undefeated.”
“We are moving into a huge arena (Уэмбли). He’s a very respectful man outside of the ring, and he’s very competitive in the ring. This is the step up people have wanted. Klitschko wants his belts back and may the best man win.”
Said Klitschko: “He is the best man in the heavyweight division and his record speaks for itself. This is the fight that the fans want and that is why this fight will happen.”
“Do you want to see a big fight? Do you want to see a fight where two Olympic champs are involved? Do you want to see the fight between A.J. and W.K.? You got it.”

В то время как Турман получил более высокий процент, Портер был более занятым бойцом, бросая 100 больше ударов поперек 12 раундов.
«One Time» и «Showtime» доставлены согласно рекламе., с мощным снайпером, несколько раз прогибающим Портера, в то время как кишащий и удушающий Портер несся вперед, чтобы запугать Турмана и привязать его к канатам.. И пока нокдаунов не было, в этом постоянно повторяющемся блокбастере никогда не было недостатка в действии, и его кульминацией стали овации на втором по посещаемости боксерском мероприятии в истории Barclays Center..
“Я хочу поблагодарить Шона Портера за потрясающий бой.. Он великий воин,- сказал Турман. «Защита – ключ к победе». Он сильно подавляет свои удары и мешает судьям засчитывать очки.. Я смог потрясти его ясным, эффективные удары, и я считаю, что именно в этом сегодня и заключалась разница.
«Я бы дал ему реванш. Это был отличный бой. Он был отличным противником. Все говорили, будет ли он моим самым сильным противником на сегодняшний день.. Я не смог его уронить, но несколько раз пристегивал».
Бывший чемпион мира Портер, вечный неудачник, но непревзойденный джентльмен, не жаловался на то, что проиграл своим вторым близким решением судей в титульном бою.
«Мы много работали, Кит великий чемпион,- сказал Портер. «Мой папа говорит, чтобы ты держал голову высоко.. Я думаю, что я выиграл бой, но я доволен, потому что конкурент вышел сегодня вечером.
“Нам нужен этот реванш. Я знаю, что фанаты хотят реванша. Если он даст мне еще один шанс, Я собираюсь усердно работать на ринге и уйти со своим титулом.”
В первом бою телепередачи CBS встретились непобежденные супертяжеловесы. Джарретт Херд прошел путь от проспекта до законного соперника в категории до 154 фунтов с доминирующим 10й раунд техническим нокаутом Оскар Молина.
Херд (18-0, 12 КО) пора на работу, сбил Молину с ног впервые в карьере в первом раунде мощным контр-апперкотом справа. Более крупный и высокий Херд с самого начала был более активным бойцом., разгромить ранее непобедимого мексиканского олимпийца с помощью чрезвычайно эффективной внутренней игры. Херд чуть не бросил 750 пробивает 10 раундов, по сравнению с только 376 для Молины, подключения на 220 мощные выстрелы почти 40 процентный клип.
Херд поставил печать на своем выступлении в финальном раунде, закрытие шоу, высадив Молину 33-7 в финальном раунде. Молина подвергся жестокому избиению и оказался беззащитным на последней минуте финального раунда., Рикки Гонсалес вмешался и остановил соревнование на 2:02.
“Это определенно большая победа в моей карьере.,- сказал Херд. «Он делал много ударов, но он знал, как выжить. Это был мощный апперкот, который сбил его с ног в первом раунде.. По моему последнему бою люди знают, что у меня отличный апперкот справа.. Он был ранен пару раз. Я не думаю, что это была плохая остановка. Молина – очень крутой парень, который продолжал идти вперед..
“Этот бой ставит меня в один ряд с лучшими соперниками в дивизионе.. Я чувствовал, что мог бы пройти еще три или четыре раунда.. Я становился сильнее по мере продолжения боя. Мы сразу возвращаемся в спортзал, чтобы снова туда попасть.”
Молина (13-1-1, 10 КО) протестовал, но, если не считать ошеломляющего нокаута, он был всего в нескольких секундах от того, чтобы потерпеть первое поражение в своей карьере единогласным решением судей..
“Я чувствовал, что Херд наносил много ударов в десятом раунде, но они не причиняли мне особого вреда.,- сказала Молина. «Он был занят, но никогда не причинял мне вреда..
«Я опустился низко, опустил голову, и он поймал меня апперкотом в первом раунде.. Он нанес мне удар, которого я не ожидал, но это определенно был быстрый нокдаун.. Я не пострадал.
“Я должен был больше использовать работу ног, но в итоге я заглушил свои удары.. У него была неуклюжая защита, много наклонов, и я не мог войти в ритм..
“Для меня это была большая возможность, и я чувствовал, что провел хороший бой.. Я вернусь сильнее. Мы собираемся поработать над многими вещами и вернуться туда.”
ЧЕМПИОНАТ SHOWTIME ПО БОКСУ на CBS, представлен Premier Boxing Champions, продвигалась DiBella Entertainment..
Ранее вечером на SHOWTIME, непобежденная сенсация в супертяжелом весе Энтони Джошуа впервые успешно защитил свой титул чемпиона мира по версии IBF в тяжелом весе, нокаутировав в седьмом раунде ранее непобедимого американца Доминика Бризила на турнире O2 в Лондоне.. ВИДЕО: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa
Ниже приведены цитаты Джошуа после Субботу победа на SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:
Многие думали, что Доминик Бризил не сможет противостоять вашей силе и скорости., но были ли вы благодарны за возможность еще немного поработать над своими боксерскими навыками??
"Что ж, это сложно, потому что видно, что им больно от каждого выстрела – ну не каждый выстрел – но когда ты начинаешь их ловить, смываешь, они могут почувствовать укол в этих десятиунциевых перчатках.. Так, это вопрос времени, но при этом мне не хотелось получать на обратном пути косилки.
«Было тяжело, у меня было две недели отпуска после моего последнего боя., и сразу же вернулся в спортзал, так что это было тяжело. Хоть раз у меня будет небольшой перерыв, а потом я смогу вернуться с перезаряженными батарейками.”
Мы знаем, что Деонтей Уайлдер наблюдал за боем. У тебя есть сообщение для него?, Чемпион WBC?
“Невероятно вдохновляющий человек. Он был терпелив, 30-странные драки [и] заполучил WBC [ремень]. Я следую примеру. Я направляюсь в США. меня тоже поддерживает SHOWTIME. Так, он смотрел это.
“Он может получить от этого все, что захочет., но это так по-другому, когда вы на ринге друг с другом. Итак, однажды мы сможем узнать, что представляют собой друг друга.”
С кем ты хочешь сразиться следующим?
“Ну, я думаю, это должно быть что-то вроде [Иосиф] Паркер. Я действительно смотрел на Фьюри… Надеюсь, он скоро поправится.. К сожалению, он повредил лодыжку, что отложило это, потому что я надеялся получить это где-нибудь зимой, если все пройдет хорошо 9 июля как это былосегодня вечером, но нам придется перенести это, а тем временем, мы можем посмотреть на других противников, таких как Паркер, если он свободен, или кто-то еще, кого хотят люди.”
Как вы думаете, над чем вам еще нужно поработать??
"Отдых. мне нужен отдых. Я устал, Я много работаю и, как я уже сказал, теперь я могу получить

Below is what the fighters had to say at the final press conference, followed by some recent fight week quotes. (Courtesy Sky Sports and Matchroom Sport)
ANTHONYJOSHUA:
“You’re in my jungle now. Там нет давления на меня.
“Once that bell goes, you can’t hide the instinct, the instinct that you want to get someone out of there. I hope I can go in there, stay relaxed and do what I planned to do. But once that bell rings something just comes over you and you want to get him out of there ASAP.
“There will always be pressure. But look, it’s always been the same concept: Train hard – it’s the same ring. It hasn’t changed.
“I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve always explained let’s get rid of the belts, the atmosphere, because when the bell goes it’s just me and him in the ring. Two gladiators, two respectful warriors coming together. We’re going to slug it out and put our 0s on the line.”
“I’m prepared, Dominic is prepared well, and one of us has to take a loss.
“Each fight is a stepping stone to the big tests. I want to look like the real deal.”
“I think we’re in the golden era of boxing again.”
ДОМИНИК BREAZEALE:
“I respect you as a fighter, but I’m going to beat you. I’ve got to beat the best of the best.”
“Не могу дождаться, it’s been an opportunity I’ve been waiting eight years for this. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m ready for this.
“Ожидайте фейерверк. We’ll be going round for round, punch for punch and I expect to knock out Joshua.”
“I got a big right hand, I have a big left hook. I stand 6-foot-7, 255 фунты. I’m unorthodox – I’m a guy that can fight on the inside, I’m a guy that can take a punch, I’m a guy that can give a punch. So if any one of those given things show up в субботу night I’m getting a knockout, точно.
“It’s a major advantage just for me to have Anthony Joshua the whole time. I don’t want him at any given point for him to feel like he’s in his comfort zone, his own backyard or his own little lion’s den.
“That’s what I came across the pond to do. I came across the pond to get my belt and take it back home with me.
“It’s my Super Bowl. Being a former football player, this is my Super Bowl.”
“Everybody keeps comparing me to Charles Martin, the only thing that we have in common is that we’re both American. We have a completely different fight style, different goals in life.
“I’m a big puncher, so is Anthony Joshua. He has the belt and I intend to have it в субботу ночь.
ADDITIONAL FIGHT WEEK QUOTES:
ANTHONY JOSHUA
"Я 16 бои, 16 побед, Dominic is 17 бои, 17 побед. We’ve been pro for the same amount of time, amateurs for the same time so we’re at a similar level on paper.
“People think this will end in two rounds? Brilliant. I am winning fights early because of my talent and hard work. Where I am in my career, it’s a perfect fight.
“I don’t overlook anyone. People talk and talk, that’s irrelevant. It’s all about whether he can fight. I think he believes in himself, but he knows what’s in store here, he needs to know I’m serious about this boxing. He thinks he’s going to KO me, he’s dismissed Charles Martin — sometimes you just have to humble somebody and show levels, let them know it’s not that easy.
“The second I stepped in to the pros it was ‘Boom!" — Anthony Joshua – headlining. That’s not down to me, its media channels and people wanting to get to know the guy behind the gloves. So it’s been hard to build a career at the right pace without criticism because people want to see me in massive fights right now.
“You can’t jump from hero to zero, there are people guiding us over a long and a dangerous career. People have to understand that it’s a development of a career, and if I ever train a fighter, I’ll tell them the same thing.”
On fellow heavyweight world champions Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury:
“This won’t be my only defense, I want there to be lots and lots, and at the right time I will fight David Haye, Тайсон Фьюри, Deontay Wilder and the rest. We’re in an era now where we have to fight each other. There’s never been an era when the best don’t fight the best at heavyweight — but they have to happen at the right time, and they will.
“We are all world champions as we hold all the belts that are available. We’re all talented. Deontay has defended his title multiple times so you have to give him credit for that. Tyson and I haven’t defended yet, so I put Deontay at the top. But Tyson beat Wladimir Klitschko who reigned for such a long time.
“I am happy because I became a world champion in my 16th fight and they won theirs later in their careers. But Tyson beat the main man in the division, and Deontay has defended his belt lots of times, so I am in third right now, but I am building my way up.
“Put the belts to one side, they don’t give you magical powers. A lot of fighters lose their belt in their first defense. It’s about developing your raw talent and making sure you keep on an upward curve because there’s hungry young challengers snapping at your heels all the time, ready to expose you – and I refuse that to happen to me.”
On Charles Martin:
"Перед боем, no one criticized (Чарльз) Мартин. He was undefeated, knocking guys out, tall southpaw, опасно. Bookies were taking a lot of bets on him knocking me out. Tyson Fury backed him to do just that and a lot of people thought it would be tricky. Up until I beat him, he was seen as a worthy fighter. I figured him out quickly and I made him look bad. He didn’t look like the champion people thought he was, but you have to respect him.”
On thinking about losing:
“I think about losing all the time, I’m scared of it. That keeps me humble and working hard. I don’t think people are going to beat me or anything, but I don’t want to lose, and I know that if I work hard and keep improving, I won’t lose.
“I get enough attention from this job. Есть 20,000 fans at the fights, millions watching on TV around the world. I don’t need to seek attention. I’m not a trash talker because the fists do the talking.’’
On being a role model:
“I know that there are a lot of kids watching me now and their parents say ‘my son loves you’ and that’s in my mind.
“I’ll be myself all the time, but that sense of being a role model and having kid’s look up to you, that checks the emotions that could come out if you get wound up. You have to conduct yourself.’’
On Tyson Fury:
“Tyson talks a lot. I hear so many different things, if he was consistent with what he says then maybe I’d think he was digging a bit, but it’s just water off a duck’s back. I don’t know him, but as long as people are saying ‘when are you going to fight him?’ then I like him because he is relevant.
“It would be such a huge fight and one that would be part of my legacy. I think because he’s beaten Wladimir once he can do it again. I didn’t think he’d win the first fight, but he pulled it off.
“I’d love to fight Tyson – it’s a match-up that needs to happen. There have been talks, whether they are a quick chat or serious negotiations, but you can’t click your fingers and come up with a mega fight. It takes time, but they are in the pipeline and we’re building towards them, and in the meantime I want to test myself and learn my craft. I need to perform well to prove that I can handle the massive fights.’’
On fellow British heavyweight David Haye:
“David is running the show and people know it, so when he goes in against soft opponents, he’s putting his neck on the line to get the stick. Fans expect more from him and he’s not meeting those levels, and that’s where the backlash comes from. The people he’s calling out versus the two guys he has fought, they just don’t add up, and that’s what people are frustrated about.
“I don’t think you can knock the Shannon Briggs fight. He’s made a lot of noise, he’s old school and it’s a good fight for David to take, win and move upwards. Shannon had made noise and he’s got his moment and who knows? Maybe he can shock the world. He’s old, but he trains hard and he’s in great condition, and that’s why people love the heavyweights because it’s that one shot.
“A fight with Fury and I is the biggest fight in British boxing in my opinion. The Haye fight is big too; there’s enough media interest for it to be big. It’s already big and we’re not even fighting yet, so imagine how big it would be once we get in there. It’d be unbelievable and that’s why I am so interested in the fights.”
ДОМИНИК BREAZEALE:
“I plan on putting on some extreme pressure and taking Joshua to places he’s never been. We’ll find out if he can handle it.
“Do I want to see him go into uncharted territory? Конечно, без сомнения.
“I’ve been there, I know what it feels like and I’ve done it several times now. В то же время, I’m not going to let an opportunity pass me. If I see something I can take in the first or second round, I’m definitely going to get him out of there.
“I’ve sparred guys that are bigger than me, I’ve sparred some guys smaller than me. I’ve been the tallest thus far (своих профессиональных оппонентов), but I don’t think the difference in a matter of inches is going to make that big of a difference. The guys I’ve sparred with are 10 times better than Anthony Joshua.
“I think that it’s going to be one of those situations that it is not going to be a difference of size or weight. It’s going to be the difference of skill and experience.
“When you think of a heavyweight champion you want to make sure he’s fought the best, and I think that’s why Joshua has chosen me as his opponent to defend against. That’s what he plans on getting out of the situation if he can make it through the 12 раундов.
“I think Joshua’s thinking of me as a stepping stone and he’s going to be sorry about that. He’s just wrong. He’s fighting a guy at 6-foot-7, 255 pounds that brings the pressure and a great pace from round-to-round.
“I’m one of those guys that I might take a shot, I might work some defense or I might work a strong jab. В любом случае, I’m going to make it a fight. All of my opponents have been down on the canvas and I don’t think Joshua is going to come shy of that as well.
“I’ve been picked as the smaller guy in the ring, by the IBF as a stepping stone and I feel like my back is against the wall. I’m going to come out fighting.
“To come here and win the IBF title in London is a major thing for me that I plan to achieve. Then I want to continuing to go after all the titles.
“My mind set has definitely changed. The situation that I’m in mentally is just different compared to some of my fights in the past. My confidence level is through the roof and physically I feel great.
“I think the heavyweight division is getting ready to change. With individuals like myself, Deontay and Tyson, we have guys who are characters who bring a lot of charisma to the division. That’s something that we need. Да, we are athletes but in the end we are entertainers and we want to see a show. I’m the type of guy that brings a show every single time I fight. It’s action-packed from the opening bell to the end, and fight fans are looking for that. That’s what is going to resurrect the heavyweight division.’’
On his win over Amir Mansour:
“That was another confidence booster for me. It’s one thing to finish a guy in the first round with three punches or something like that. It’s another thing to finish a guy in the sixth, seventh round with a combination of shots.
“Amir put me down on the canvas in the second, I battled back and ended up breaking the man’s jaw.
“It gives me something to work on. I know I was able to come back and be very successful from it. Anytime you get a win of that matter where you get a guy, break him down, break him down where he quits on the stool, it’s a huge confidence booster. It makes you understand as an athlete or as a professional boxer that you’ve got punching power, you just broke another man’s jaw.’’
On returning to London after the 2012 Олимпийские игры:
“I think it’s going to beautiful. It’s going to be great to go back to where my amateur career ended and beat the guy who won the gold medal. That’s going to be great. А потом, on top of that, take away more hardware with the IBF Heavyweight title. You couldn’t ask for anything better.
“Then again I do understand and believe I’m a completely different fighter — not only am I a professional but I no longer fight an amateur style. I would consider myself a knockout artist with some pretty good punching power and that’s what I plan on showing the UK fans and my U.S. following. It’s a chapter that needs to be closed and I plan on doing that.’’
On the state of the heavyweight division:
“I believe that we’ve got a lot of heavyweights who are doing real well and are real successful in their situations, some being titleholders, some not. But I think it’s going to be a revolving circle. Me fighting Anthony Joshua, then going on to Deontay and Fury, Wladimir Klitschko might even hang around for a while. Will it ever be compared to the Ali days or Riddick Bowe and the Evander Holyfield days? Не знаю. Bowe and Holyfield had one great trilogy and I study it all the time. So it all depends on how much each fighter has left in him.’’

ANTHONY JOSHUA
Thoughts on his preparation for the fight:
“I feel great condition wise, and mentally I’m in a good place. I’ve never felt so relaxed because I just know I’m capable of doing it. I’ve trained weeks and years and it’s just about getting it right on the night of the fight. My tactics and my mind have not let me down so far, so that’s why I don’t want to change anything.
“I’m not putting too much pressure on myself. I’m going to attack the fight the same way I have my last 16 and put on an explosive show. That’s what the Americans love. They like knockouts and I won’t let them down.
“Every fight can be my last fight. As much as I would like to tell you I’m confident and ‘I’m going to do this, I’m going to do that’ I do understand I have to approach this as if it could be my last fight.
“I know he can hang around, he doesn’t go down easy. He’s a big guy, he can eat shots. The Dominic Breazeale I’m used to watching on YouTube and I’m reading about is the enhanced Dominic Breazeale – the Dominic Breazeale that is 50 percent better because I think he knows he wants to come prove himself on a global stage. And this is his chance come Суббота, so I need to prepare for the best of Breazeale.”
On going from being the hunter as a challenger to being the hunted as a champion:
“I’m not the cream of the crop in the gym. I’m around guys that are achieving things on the same level so I’m still hunting. I still have that mentality as if I’m a main killer in the jungle. I haven’t lost that hunger.
On potential to fight in the US in the future:
“I just keep on hearing the United States is where it’s happening. And if I come to the U.S., I’m going to shut it down.”
Thoughts on Breazeale’s performance against Amir Mansour:
“He’s a tough guy. He managed to go out there and break Mansour’s jaw and capture a win, which has led him into where he is now. Whichever angels were floating in the ring with him that day have led him to this point, so I’ve got to put an end to his dream.”
On winning a piece of the heavyweight championship in just his 16й про бой:
“It didn’t mean much. I still have another couple titles I need to get my hands on. I’m still hunting. There’s still work to be done. So it only ticked one of the boxes on my to-do list.”
ДОМИНИК BREAZEALE
“I’m out here very excited. Я не могу дождаться выхода на ринг Июнь 25 and shock the world, это точно. I’ve been lucky enough to prepare for the biggest fight of my life and I’m really super excited about it.”
On why he thinks he was selected for this matchup:
"Честно говоря, the way I see it is that someone didn’t do their research. They didn’t look deep enough. They didn’t find out enough about me and maybe they’re looking at me as just another football player that transitioned into boxing. And I’m hoping they’re overlooking me. It definitely can be a situation where they’re just watching one fight, especially my last fight. But there’s been a lot of tough ones. If they’re looking at that one situation, I’m glad because that’s to my liking.”
On his feelings about fighting overseas:
“The way I’m thinking about it is, Июнь 25, I gain 20,000 фанаты. I’m in a situation where I’m very confident going into this fight and I know for sure I’m going to put on a great show, come out victorious and go back to the U.S. с 20,000 UK fans.
“I definitely believe [Джошуа] realizes; he understands that he’s got a big test in front of him. He’s got a big fighter in front of him. He’s got a guy that’s going to break him down, test his will and see if he is a true champion.
“I am coming into this fight very confident and I’ve got some things that I know are going to work for me, as well as some things that I plan on exploiting out of Joshua.
“I’m blessed to have been picked for this fight and am thankful for this opportunity. The way I look at it, and the way I look at every fight that I go into, is that as long as I do everything that I need to do in the gym as far as sparring, preparation and training, running my miles, sleeping right and eating right – I’ve crossed all of my T’s and dotted all of my I’s. I’ve got nothing to worry about. I’ve got nothing to second-guess. I’ve done everything I’m supposed to and I just can’t wait to shine.”
Стивен Эспиноза, Исполнительный вице-президент и генеральный менеджер, Showtime спорта
“Anthony quickly went from a diamond in the rough to really one of the foremost stars in the UK and Europe, and we are happy to be his partner as he establishes his presence in North America.
“We are particularly excited about this bout because we have, pardon the phraseology, two behemoths. There are two skilled boxers, really the epitome of what heavyweight boxing should be – большой, strong athletes skilled in their sport, with amateur pedigree, meeting on the afternoon here in the US, evening in the UK to determine who is the best fighter.”
EDDIE HEARN, Президент, Matchroom Спорт
“Over here, the feeling is that it’s going to be quite a routine defense, but Anthony hasn’t trained like that. He is not expecting that. He knows the background and roots of Dominic Breazeale. He knows his skill, and he knows how dangerous he can be and he knows how hungry he is as well. I think you’re going to get a different kind of fight than the Charles Martin fight. I think you’re going to get a guy that’s not afraid to let his hands go. He’s not going to wait and the sold out O2 Arena is going to be an electric place to be.”
“SHOWTIME is a deal we are very excited about. To link up with an American broadcaster for us was an obvious move, but it was a move we had to choose carefully. And I think we chose very, very well in SHOWTIME.”
BRITTANY GOOSSEN, TGB Акции
“Over here in the U.S. we have gotten to see Dominic grow before our eyes. We know he is definitely capable of challenging for the world title. В Субботуwe expect him to be victorious and bring that back to America.”

WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sees Anthony Joshua-Dominic Breazeale Fight as 50-50
Breazeale Challenges Joshua This Суббота, Июнь 25,
On SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL Live on SHOWTIME®
From The O2 in London
НЬЮ-ЙОРК (Июнь 22, 2016) – Unbeaten WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Уайлдер can’t pick a clear winner for в эту субботу ночь Anthony Joshua-Dominic Breazeale world title clash.
The undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Joshua (16-0, 16 КО) will make the first defense of his title against fellow unbeaten Доминик Breazeale(17-0, 15 КО) of Upland, Калифорния., на Showtime Бокс INTERNATIONAL®от The O2 в Лондоне, жить на ВРЕМЯ ДЛЯ ШОУ® на 5:15 p.m. И/2:15 p.m. PT.
Just a few hours later in Primetime on CBS (9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT), Кит «Один раз» Турман will defend his WBA Welterweight World Title against former champ Shawn “Showtime” Porter in a welterweight blockbuster that headlines SHOWTIME ЧЕМПИОНАТ БОКС на CBS, представлен Premier Boxing Champions.
Уайлдер, who will be part of the in-studio SHOWTIME announce team covering the fight from New York City, is torn on who will triumph when Joshua makes the first defense of the world title he landed in April with a devastating second-round KO win over Charles Martin.
“I definitely see the fight as a 50-50,” said Wilder. “You’ve got two big heavyweights, and the challenger wants what the champion has, and the champion wants to keep what he has.
“It’s going to be interesting because we’ve seen Breazeale in a lot of wars. He’s almost been taken out by some of the smaller heavyweights. He’s been punched around, but he has always survived.
“We’ve seen Joshua (get) busted up as well, but he has kept his composure, and this fight is in his backyard amongst his people.
“I don’t put anything past Breazeale because he’s coming in hustlers’ territory. I think that it’ll be a good fight because of Breazeale – I think he really wants it.”
Wilder makes the fourth defense of his WBC strap on Июль 16 against Chris Arreola in his hometown of Alabama. The 30-year-old says that Joshua will feel like a different fighter as he goes into his first fight as world champion – but that there’s now an even bigger target on his back.
“Once you’ve got that belt, you feel like ‘I’m the man,’ ” said Wilder. “After the first fight, that’s when you really feel confident. You really feel you’re the man, you’re the champ. You’re the ruler once you’ve had your first defense.
“For Joshua, this is his first title defense, so he should feel some kind of security about himself and confidence about himself. But he’s going to find out that to continue his career and defend that title, these guys aren’t going to lay down after one punch or after two punches.
“They’re going to keep taking punches, they’re going to keep getting knocked down and they’re going to keep getting up. This is for a world title. This can bring you out of poverty, если вы понимаете, о чем я? По этой причине, these challengers are hungry. That’s one of the things that I had to realize.
“I put myself in their position. When I was a challenger, I was hungry and I already had the mentality that ‘you’re going to really have to kill me or hurt me bad to get me out of this ring.’ So that’s the mentality that these challengers have.
“It’s going to be interesting when you have a guy with a big heart that really, really wants it and I think Breazeale really wants it. We’re going to see where his heart is. I can’t say what kind of heart he has, but we’re going to see.”
Breazeale is following compatriot Charles Martin into Joshua’s Greenwich home area. “It takes a lot of courage, will and heart to fight in someone’s backyard,Сказал Уайлдер. “It takes someone that has confidence in themselves. And not to mention going to someone else’s country, because then the environment has completely changed. It’s a big difference and not a lot of guys are willing to travel outside of their country where they would be uncomfortable.
“Only a very few that really want to build their legacy, such as myself, will travel and have no problem. I don’t like to worry about judges or nothing. You go do what you have to do. That’s just my philosophy and mentality as a champion now. When you say the Heavyweight Champion of the World, that’s why this is tough, we travel all over the world.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA
Thoughts on his preparation for the fight:
“I feel great condition wise, and mentally I’m in a good place. I’ve never felt so relaxed because I just know I’m capable of doing it. I’ve trained weeks and years and it’s just about getting it right on the night of the fight. My tactics and my mind have not let me down so far, so that’s why I don’t want to change anything.
“I’m not putting too much pressure on myself. I’m going to attack the fight the same way I have my last 16 and put on an explosive show. That’s what the Americans love. They like knockouts and I won’t let them down.
“Every fight can be my last fight. As much as I would like to tell you I’m confident and ‘I’m going to do this, I’m going to do that’ I do understand I have to approach this as if it could be my last fight.
“I know he can hang around, he doesn’t go down easy. He’s a big guy, he can eat shots.

DOMINIC “АВАРИЯ” BREAZEALE TRAINING CAMP NOTES # PROVIDES INSIGHT ON EXCHANGE WITH JOSHUA, TRAINING CAMP AND UPCOMING IBF WORLD TITLE BOUT

Hughie Fury rated #6 by WBO; Eager to conquer challenges in and out of the ring
Манчестер, Ланкашир, Великобритания (Мая 16, 2016) – Fast rising heavyweight Hughie Fury has been ranked #6 в мире Всемирной боксерской организацией (WBO).
Fury captured the WBO’s Intercontinental belt April 30 через 7йround technical decision over awkward Fred Kassi. At 21years old, Fury has a perfect 20-0 professional ledger and stopped ten of his opponents. During the last fifteen months, Fury’s passed multiple tough tests having outpointed noteworthy fighters in Andriy Rudenko, Джордж Ариас, Dominick Guinn and Kassi.
On July 9, Fury looks to shine on his biggest stage yet when he faces an opponent to be named in a ten or twelve round fight. The fight will appear on the undercard of the world heavyweight championship showdown between champion Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko at the Manchester Arena.
Hungry but humble, Fury is very pleased with his world ranking and plans to win the WBO world championship.
“I’m overwhelmed that the WBO has me listed in the top six in the world,- сказал Фьюри.. “I’m a loyal person and will repay the WBO by winning their world title just like my cousin Tyson.”
Even with his notable success and high praise throughout the boxing world, Fury’s been battling a grueling opponent out of the ring that has prevented him from being 100 процентов.
According to Dr. Ian R. Белый, Fury’s suffering from acne conglobata which could result in malaise, fluctuating fevers and joint pain. The condition has to be treated aggressively with medications in order to keep his career progressing.
Благодарно, he’s responding well and things are looking up.
“I’ve been dealing with fatigue and a skin problem that caused my body to breakdown. I know people in the boxing world have taken note of this and I appreciate their concern. The good news is I have been given treatment to clear my skin once and for all. Я 21 years old and am going to show the world what I’m about in the next year and hopefully there will be another world champion in the Fury family.”
Fury’s opponent will be announced shortly.
