Skryf 'n opmerking
Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions is proud to announce the signing of one of the most decorated female amateur boxers in the world, Russia’s Elena Savelyeva, to a co-promotional contract, saam met die Russiese-gebaseerde Alexander Nevskiy Bevordering Group.
Savelyeva, nou 1-0 as 'n professionele bokser, het 134-15-1 as 'n amateur, winning the world, Europese (2X) en Russiese (6X) championships during her illustrious career. She represented her homeland in the 2012 Summer Olympics and competed in the first-ever women’s Olympic boxing match in history.
Turning her sights on professional boxing, she is now looking to win a world title in the pros and looking to settle the score with her amateur arch rival Nicole Adams.
“My goal is to become a world champion in all the major sanctioning bodies and be recognized as one of the best boxers in the world,” said Savelyeva. “Signing with Salita Promotions will progress my career and open doors for me to help me reach my goals. I look forward to fighting the best in the world and reaching the highest levels of pro boxing soon.”
Word, who already promotes women’s superstar Claressa Shields, says his latest signing will add spice to an already heating-up world of women’s boxing.
“Elena is one of the most accomplished female boxers in the world,” Said Woord. “And with her numerous international, national and world titles, she will add flavor and excitement to the growing sport of woman’s professional boxing. Russia has some of the best boxers in the world and now there is a very skilled lady boxer joining that elite group.”

Salita’s co-promoter, Alexander Nevskiy, says the deal with Salita will give Savelyeva greater reach and strengthen her possibilities. “This is a great initiative to do a joint boxing business with a growing US promotional company, said Nevskiy. “This partnership is very important for us to develop and advance both our male and female boxers from the FSU territories in the US and Global market.”

Savelyeva’s next fight is scheduled for September 23 in Borisov, Belarus. It will be an eight-rounder against fellow Russian Eugenia Zablotskaya.

TEAM SHIELDS GELUK DIE BOKS SE NUUTSTE SUPERSTER GELUK, CLARESSA SHIELDS, VIR DIE WEN VAN UNIFIED WÊRELD-TITELS IN VIERDE PROFEG

Skryf 'n opmerking
DETROIT (Augustus 8, 2017) – Claressa tweemalige Olimpiese goue medaljewenner “T-Rex” Shields became the unified WBC and IBF World Super Middleweight Champion last Friday night with a dominant fifth-round TKO of now former champion Nikki Adler.
Fighting in front of her home state fans at MGM Grand Detroit and in the main event of a nationally televised ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie, Shields put on a display of skills and power seldom seen by a first-time world-title challenger. Without any answers to the level of talent in front of her, Adler was forced to cover up and withstand the blazing speed of Shields’ fists for five one-sided rounds.
A driven competitor, Shields is on a mission to become the GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time) and the performance against Adler has the entire world watching. Four fights into her professional career and Shields is already the face of women’s boxing.
“It was a dream come true to win two world title belts in one night!” gesê Shields. “I was very proud of my performance, and I can’t wait to defend my belts and then give Christina Hammer her first defeat.”
For Team Shields, the victory was more than could ever be asked for from their young fighter.
“Congratulations to a unified world champion Claressa Shields!” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “In less than a year as a pro, she has already achieved what no other woman has done in the sport. America’s first two-time Olympic Gold Medalist has become a professional unified world champion in just her fourth professional fight! Congratulations also to the great team behind her: jare lange afrigter Jason Crutchfield, Berston Field House, en aan haar bestuurders wat ywerig agter die skerms werk Mark Taffet en Jamie Fritz. Ek en almal by SP is trots en opgewonde om deel te wees van hierdie opwindende reis van 'n dame wat op soek is na GWOAT!”
Shields medebestuurder, Mark Taffet, 'n jarelange TV-bestuurder in boks, sê hy het nog nooit 'n vertoning gesien soos die een wat Shields teen Adler ingedien het nie. “Claressa Shields’ oorwinning oor Nikki Adler was die mees dominante vertoning wat ek nog in 'n kampioenskapgeveg gesien het, manlik of vroulik. Sy maak haar aanspraak om GWOAT te wees op skouspelagtige wyse. Claressa dra vroueboks op haar breë skouers vorentoe.”
Het hierdie jaar al drie keer baklei, twee streek- en twee wêreldtitelgordels langs die pad gewen, Shields says she will take some time to enjoy her historic accomplishments before plotting the next move with her team.

AMPTELIKE GEWICHTEN:

Nikki Adler: 166 Pond

Claressa Shields: 165¼ Pounds

Vladimir Tikhonov: 123¼ Pounds

Jesse Angel Hernandez: 123¼ Pounds

FINALE KWOTASIES:

 

NIKKI ADLER:

“This fight is very big in Germany, and I know there will be a lot of eye on me. It will be 4:30 in the morning, but there will be live streaming and viewing parties.

 

“I’m going to be defensive in the early going and know that Claressa is going to come forward. I want to get the fight into the later rounds. Dit is 10 rounds of boxing and there will be lots of action.

 

“I know I will be tough to knock out and have no plans of going down. Claressa has gotten all the hype so far and she wants to put on a show for her fans. I’m going to do everything I can to send those fans home upset after I beat her and carry those belts out of the ring.

 

“This is my second fight with my trainer Rene [Friese]. I wanted to train with the best and I need a trainer who had worked with the top fighters.

 

“My trainer has really been stressing strategies. We have a lot of them. The game plan is simple: Win the fight.

 

“Om vir die eerste keer in die Verenigde State te veg, gaan ongelooflik wees. Ek het net in Rusland en Duitsland geveg, so om hier te wees in ’n hoofgeleentheid op SHOWTIME is regtig spesiaal.”

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

“Ek voel dat ek baie gesonder en gehidreer is as wat ek geveg het 160. Ek is nie traag nie. Ek het 'n sjef gebruik wat my etes vir die eerste keer voorberei het en ek voel wonderlik.

 

“Ek weet al lank van Nikki Adler en Christina Hammer. Ek hou van albei die meisies, maar wanneer dit kom by om in die ring te kom, gaan dit alles oor besigheid.

 

“Tegnies sien ek dit [Nikki] is baie kalm en kalm. Sy is geduldig, maar nie te geduldig nie.

 

“Al is sy dalk die groter vegter, Ek weet ek is die aggressor. Ek dink ek kan haar in ses rondtes uitkry.

 

“Natuurlik wil almal die groot uitklophou kry, maar ek het nie die regte vuishou gekry wat die meisies laat uitklop nie. Ek is jonk so ek weet dit sal kom.

 

“Ek is bly Cyborg is hier om my te ondersteun. Sy slaan hard en ons het gespaar. Sy is sterk en sy is vinnig. Sy het baie van my opgetel, en ek het by haar geleer. Sy is die mees gevreesde MMA-vegter, en ek is die meeste gevrees in boks. Dit is dus wonderlik vir beide vroue se sportsoorte.”

 

VLADIMIR TIKHONOV:

“Dit is my eerste keer ooit in Amerika. Ek is redelik beïndruk daarmee. Daar is soveel om te doen en te sien, maar ek kan nie toelaat dat afleidings in die pad kom nie.

 

“Ek is al omtrent 'n maand hier en oefen by Kronk Gimnasium. Russian fighters are known for being very disciplined, and we know the opportunity that is in front of us. There is no room for slip ups and to get lazy. This is my big shot and I’m going to take advantage of it.

 

“The sparring has been the biggest thing. I’ve been sparring with pros and amateurs. It’s so much more powerful here and the variety is something I would never get at home.

 

“I can box and I can brawl. Whatever I have to do to get the win.”

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ:

“I had a layoff of about five years and worked construction jobs because I had to pay the bills, but now I’m back and focused on boxing.

 

“In the past I’ve been known to be too aggressive, so ek gaan dinge probeer vertraag en 'n meer taktiese bokser wees.

 

“Ek het ses broers wat professionele boksers was en ek het by hulle geleer. My bynaam is 'Die Een' want nou is ek die enigste wat baklei.

 

“Ek is die jongste van 15 kinders, almal met dieselfde ouers. Ons is 'n baie hegte gesin.

 

"Ek is 'n natuurlike regshandige en ek is gereed om teen 'n linkse soos Tikhonov te veg. Ek het 'n paar suidpote baklei en ek het met linkses gespartel.

 

“Hy is vir ’n rede onoorwonne. Ek dink nie hy was daar saam met iemand so taai soos ek nie; so aggressief soos ek is.”

 

RENE FRIESE, Adler se afrigter

“Ons het al die pad hierheen gekom om die gordels terug te bring na Duitsland.

 

“Ons het ons plan en ons strategie in plek. Ons is gereed vir hierdie stryd.”

 

JASON CRUTCHFIELD, Shields se afrigter

“Daar is nie veel praatjies vir hierdie geveg nie. Ek het vir haar gesê jy moet jou vuiste laat praat. Jou mond kan jou nie help in die ring nie.

 

“Ons is gereed vir 10 rondes. Ek gaan nie sê dit is moeilik nie; dit is uitvoerbaar. Dis haar eerste keer wat sy dit doen. Ons het daarvoor opgelei en sy was 10 drie of vier keer oefenrondes.”

Q&A MET CLARESSA SKILDE

Skryf 'n opmerking

TWEEMAAL OLIMPIESE GOUE MEDALJE, VEG VOLGENDE WEEK VIR EERSTE WÊRELD TITEL, KLINK AF OP OPPONONENT NIKKI ADLER EN Stygende BEROEMDE STATUS
DETROIT (Julie 28, 2017) – Twee keer Olimpiese goue medaljewenner Claressa “T-Rex” Shields (3-0, 1 KO) sê sy is in die vorm van haar lewe om die heersende WBC Super-middelgewig-wêreldkampioen aan te durf Nikki Adler (16-0, 9 Uitklophoue) van Duitsland volgende Vrydag, Augustus 4, by die MGM Grand Detroit.
Shields sal uitdaag vir haar eerste wêreldtitel in die 10-ronde hoofbyeenkoms van Salita Promotions’ “SLAG VAN DIE BESTE” gebeurtenis, wat regstreeks op televisie uitgesaai sal word ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie (10:30 namiddag. EN/PT).
Shields sê sy word nie deur Adler se onlangse opmerkings geratel nie, dat die Verenigde State gereed moet wees vir hul goue meisie om haar eerste verlies te neem. In werklikheid, sy het nooit geratel nie. Sy gee ook haar gedagtes oor haar onlangse Twitter-oorlog met 'n ander top vroulike vegter.
Gee my jou gedagtes oor Nikki Adler se opmerkings oor die VSA wat gereed is vir haar om jou te klop.
Nikki moet haarself oppomp, so sy sal baie sê die week van die geveg. Die VSA is reg reg… gereed vir sy 2x Olimpiese goue medaljewenner om haar eerste pro-wêreldtitel te wen!
Intimideer dit jou of laat dit jou harder oefen wanneer 'n teenstander op hierdie manier praat?
Ek is nog nooit deur iemand geïntimideer nie. Ek het al erger dinge vir my gesê, Ek was van plan om Nikki te straf of sy nou gemors praat of nie.
Praat met my oor die druk rondom hierdie geveg. Jy gaan so vroeg vir jou eerste wêreldtitel met die hele wêreld wat kyk.
Ek het altyd die hele wêreld wat kyk. Sommige mense wil hê ek moet wen en sommige wil die teenoorgestelde hê! Maar ek weet wat ek kan doen, Ek gaan dit net doen en domineer soos altyd. Geen druk nie!
Vertel my van die wen van al hierdie toekennings en kom selfs verder na die voorpunt van nasionale celebrity.
Om toekennings te wen is wonderlik; om erken en gerespekteer te word, is ook wonderlik. Ek het iets gedoen wat geen ander persoon in Amerika gedoen het nie, I’m the GWOAT!
Do you do anything different in training for a world title fight?
Ja, you focus more, recover more, spar more rounds, and drink plenty of water! I’ve never been more ready!
Do you believe Nikki Adler has never watched you fight?
Moenie, I don’t believe she hasn’t ever watched me fight. That’s all mind games! She wants me to believe that. But in all honesty, nothing on the internet can help her in a fight against me!
Do you dislike her now?
(Laughs) Dislike is for emotional females! I love her! I’m gonna kick her ass! And give her a big thank you after.
Tell me about your Twitter feud with (fellow top female boxer) Layla McCarter. What’s going on there?
Layla McCarter talks too much. For no reason. I didn’t have a problem with her at first, maar sy is net ontsteld omdat ek sê ek is P4P! En dit is die waarheid. Sy is net in ontkenning! Die een oomblik ondersteun sy my en die volgende oomblik kom sy na my toe. In haar onderhoud nadat sy Szabados geslaan het, 'n meisie wat ek in die vorige ronde TKO'd het, sy sê sy kan kom na 160 en my geslaan. Dan wanneer ek rekwisiete kry, of erkenning, daar sê sy weer net gladde goed. Ek moes haar dit laat kry.
Wat sal jou filosofie as wêreldkampioen wees as jy wen?
Ek doen nie 'as' nie.’ WANNEER ek wêreldkampioen word, my filosofie sal wees om so groot te wees dat selfs jou vyande my sal begin liefhê. God was my rots vir baie jare. Hy sê 'wees nederig teenoor hom,’ wat ek is! Maar ek hoef nie nederig teenoor die mens te wees wanneer ek oor my Godgegewe vermoë praat nie.
Om die beeldsending oop, undefeated world-ranked super bantamweight Vladimir Tikhonov (16-0, 9 Uitklophoue) of Russia will face Texas slugger Jesse Angel Hernandez (8-1, 6 Uitklophoue) over eight tough rounds between southpaws.

Reeds as 'n nasionale skat en bekroonde vroulike rolmodel beskou, Shields’ dapper vinnige wêreldtitel-soektog sal haar weer tot superster-status en in die boksgeskiedenis dryf. In vergelyking met ander vroulike bokssterre van verlede en hede, Shields is ver voor die kurwe vir 'n tipiese styging deur die geledere:
Laila Ali: Verower IBA Super Middelgewig titel in haar 12ste pro stryd
Christy Martin: WBC Jr weltergewigtitel in haar gewen 21st pro stryd
Lucia Ryker: WIBF Super Liggewig titel in haar gewen 9ste pro stryd
Regina Halmich: Verower IBF Flyweight titel in haar 10ste pro stryd
Ann Wolfe: Verower IFBA Jr Middelgewig titel in haar 10ste pro stryd
Cecilia Braekhus: WBC-weltergewigtitel in haar gewen 11ste pro stryd
Christina Hammer: WBO-middelgewigtitel in haar gewen 8ste pro stryd
Holly Holm: Wen IBA Super Liggewig titel in haar 11ste pro stryd
Die historiese betekenis van hierdie geveg gaan nie verlore op die 22-jarige Flint nie, Michigan boorling.
“Dit is 'n groot eer om in dieselfde sin as Lucia Rijker genoem te word, Christy Martin, Laila Ali en Ann Wolfe, onder andere,” gesê Shields. “Ek wil boks tot nuwe hoogtes lig en help om deure vir vroue in boks oop te maak. Om Nikki Adler te klop, is 'n moet vir my om my doelwitte te bereik.”
Shields’ medebestuurder, Mark Taffet, sê hierdie vuurpylskip na bo is alles deel van die plan wat vir Shields uiteengesit is. “Ons wil hê dat elkeen van Claressa se gevegte 'n spesiale plek op haar geskiedkundige reis moet inneem. Augustus 4 teen Nikki Adler, en die geleentheid om 'n wêreldtitel in net haar vierde pro-geveg te wen, is 'n belangrike 'eerste’ in wat 'n loopbaan van spelveranderende eerstes vir Claressa Shields sal wees.”
In die aand se televisie-medehoof, junior welterweight KO artist Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Yeyubov (13-0, 11 Uitklophoue) sal onoorwonne vooruitsig in die gesig staar Sonny “Pretty Boi” Fredrickson (17-0, 11 Uitklophoue) oor 10-rondtes en om die uitsending oop te maak, world-ranked super bantamweight Vladimir Tikhonov (16-0, 9 Uitklophoue) of Russia will face Texas slugger Jesse Angel Hernandez (8-1, 6 Uitklophoue) oor agt rondes.

Skryf 'n opmerking

ET / PT)
In die aand se televisie-medehoof, junior welterweight KO artist Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Yeyubov (13-0, 11 Uitklophoue) sal onoorwonne vooruitsig in die gesig staar Sonny “Pretty Boi” Fredrickson (17-0, 11 Uitklophoue) oor 10-rondtes en om die uitsending oop te maak, world-ranked super bantamweight Vladimir Tikhonov (16-0, 9 Uitklophoue) of Russia will face Texas slugger Jesse Angel Hernandez (8-1, 6 Uitklophoue) oor agt rondes.

Adler says the only adjustment to fighting in the North America for the first time is to improve her English. And if she’s concerned about facing Shields, the only American to capture back-to-back boxing gold medals at the Olympic Games, she’s not showing it. She hasn’t even watched tape of Shields’ meteoric three-fight professional career. In werklikheid, Adler and trainer Rene Friese are asking Americans not to take it personally when their hero falters against her.
How is training going?
It is going great! I work hard and I am very focused. My trainer is very satisfied with me and my progress. We entered training camp a few weeks ago, already had great tough sparring and I will be very well prepared to defend what’s mine: the green belt.

Did you prepare any differently for this fight compared to your others?
Ja, but it has nothing to do with Claressa. At the beginning of the year, I changed my trainer who brought me and my boxing skills to a new incredible level. I am better, faster and stronger. This feels amazing!

What do you think of Shields as a fighter?
Om eerlik te wees, I’ve never watched her fight, but I am sure Claressa is a fighter from the bottom of her heart. So am I. This will create magic moments on Augustus 4.

Does it make any difference to fight in North America for the first time?
Ja, because I need to improve my English. I speak German and Croatian fluently and will do my very best to thank Claressa personally for a great fight and to tell her without any translator that she can be proud that she took the challenge and one day she will be a champion too – maybe at middleweight.
What would a victory over Claressa Shields mean to you?
17-0

How do you feel about the recent resurgence of women’s boxing?
Our fight announcement rocked the media, the fans and lot of other boxers who want to be a part of the event. It is great to see and it will get better. Maar, just a warning, America needs to be strong when I take my belts back home to Germany. I said it once before and I will say it again and again: The higher the quality, the more attractive is the fight for the fans. The state of woman’s boxing needs tough woman like Claressa and me who are not afraid of a challenge.

How does it feel to be fighting on Showtime and in front of the world?
It is the biggest woman’s boxing fight in 2017. Winning is the only thing I’m concerned with.

What can the fans in Detroit and on television expect to see from you?
Fans will see a fit fighter, they can expect a tough puncher and, finally, a dominating reigning champion.
