ZHANG ZHILEI – “HRGOVIĆ IS NO BOOGEYMAN”

Ħalli kumment

Undefeated heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (23-0-1, 18 Kos) is looking for big fights in 2022. Zhang, who is coming off of a second-round knockout of Craig Lewis, is world-ranked in both the IBF and WBO and wants to fight a top heavyweight so that he can earn a title shot.

The division is opening up after a flurry of recent activity at the end of 2021. With its mandatory contender position vacant, the International Boxing Federation is trying to set up a final eliminator. Contenders Luis Ortiz and Joseph Parker, both of whom are fresh off big wins, ducked their chance to fight #3 ranked Filip Hrgović (14-0, 12 Kos). tal-Kroazja. The IBF will continue to go down its rankings in order until one of the contenders agrees to fight Hrigović.

Zhang vows that if asked, he would take on the Croatian in a battle of 6’6’’ big men.

“I don’t understand why top heavyweights are turnin this down.” Said the former Olympic silver medal winner. “Hrgovic is no boogeyman. I’ve made it known that if my name comes up, I’ll step up and take it.”

And if a showdown with Hrigovic does not materialize, l- 38 year-old Zhang is ready for any of the big names.

“I’m not getting any younger, and I have told my promoter that I want to make a big move," Said Zhang, listing off of top heavyweights such as Joseph Parker and Dereck Chisora – all of whom share the same promoter, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.

“My ultimate goal is to become world champion and I need fights that put me on that path. I will fight anyone. I want a big opportunity and all I am asking for is fair compensation. I am ready now.”

Ajamu, issa 45 years-old of Camden, New Jersey has kept in great shape while away from the squared circle.
“I have been helping people in the gym the whole time, and I decided that if I am putting time in that, I mind as well get back in there and do this on my own,” said Ajamu.
Ajamu also believes that being in the ring will also help fight for a cause that he has been involved with for sometime.
“What better way to bring attention to child abduction, which is a big problem in this country then to be in the ring and help get the message out there.”
Ajamu said that at age 45 that this is not a one-and-done situation, as he plans to stick around for specific purposes.
“The goal is take this as far as I can. I want to win another title and tie another Camden legend, “Jersey” Joe Walcott,” said the former Pennsylvania, IBC Inter-Continental, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Caribbean, , WBO NABO and World Boxing Foundation Light Heavyweight champion.
Another goal is a rematch with legendary Roy Jones, Jr.
Jones defeated Ajamu in 2006, and its’s more than a coincidence that Jones will be in a attendance as a co-promoter for the event.
“Yes there is definitely a reason why I am on this card, and Roy is co-promoting, but I have to get past Perez. I know he is a tough fighter who comes forward, and he is capable as I know Lavarn Harvell who was undefeated at the time that he beat him.”

Webster ta Glassboro, New Jersey għandha rekord ta ' 23-1 ma 12 knockouts.
Webster has been on a roll, and now he looks to continue his momentum against Harris.
“I really don’t know much about him. I just know that he knows that he is fighting me. I don’t know him, but I am sure he knows who I am,” said Webster.
Webster attributes his most recent success to a more active schedule as this will be his 3rd fight of this year and 5th fight in the last 14 xhur.
“The more that I fight, the more consistent that I am. When I had other people in charge of my career, I was fighting less frequent. Maybe fighting every six or seven months. Now I have been more active and that goes hand in hand with my performances. I was getting in the ring to trying shake off ring-rust and now I am going in there not worrying about that.”
Webster is not overlooking Harris, but He is looking to close of 2017 fighting higher level of opponents, u fil- 2018 looking for a big title shot.
“My target is WBA champion George Groves. I never wanted to face Harris. I wanted to fight guys with better records and for many reasons including opponents pricing themselves out, but guys won’t fight me. I do appreciate that Harris stepped up for the challenge so I respect him for that. Hopefully I can fight someone like Mike Tiberi next for a major regional title, then have my eye towards a world title in 2018.”

"Tnejn mill-heavyweights dawl fuq fuq il-pjaneta se jikkonfliġġu fuq Marzu 26. Huma għandhom rekord kombinat ta 45-0 ma 27 Kos u m'hemmx għalfejn ngħidu, lanqas ma daq telfa bħala professjonali. Filwaqt li kull bniedem għandu avversarju formidabbli quddiem minnu, tnejn li huma għandhom għajnejhom fuq Sergey Kovalev u ċinturini tiegħu titolu tlieta dinja, iżda l-ewwel ikollhom in-negozju biex jattendu għall nhar is-Sibt lejl.

 

"Kull meta nasal biex Oakland għal avveniment u jien ma Andre fi b'funzjoni fejn hu jitkellem mal-midja, hija jolqotni li ovvjament, huwa talent speċjali athletically, iżda huwa wkoll persuna speċjali u nispera li kulħadd hawn fil Oakland jifhem u japprezza li. Hu raġel tal-familja ta 'prinċipju li dejjem tipprova tagħmel l-aħjar ħaġa u li hija xi ħaġa li hija rari fil-ħajja f'dawn il-jiem, iżda hu partikolarment rari fl-isports. Nispera li guys japprezzaw lilu. karrieri Boxing ma jservux għal dejjem. Hu mhux se tkun ġlied dejjem, sabiex kulħadd napprezzaw dak li għandek hawn fil Andre Ward.

 

"Andre maqbudin midalja tad-deheb fl-Olimpjadi ta 'Ateni u l-U.S aħħar. Boxer li għamlu hekk. Lista tiegħu ta foes telliefa taqra bħal Min hu xiex tad-diviżjoni middleweight super. Huwa wkoll iddominat u knocked out eks dawl champion tad-dinja heavyweight, Ċad Dawson fil tagħhom 2012 Showdown. Fl-aħħar ġlieda tiegħu, huwa ddominat żewġ time titolu dinja isfidant Paul Smith fuq Ġunju 20 fil-Oracle Arena. Huwa tibda triqitha fuq il-kapitolu li jmiss tal-karriera tiegħu fuq Marzu 26, jirritornaw lejn Oracle Arena darb'oħra, kif hu jagħmel pass tiegħu sal-diviżjoni heavyweight dawl lesta li tagħmel dak li kien fid-diviżjoni super middleweight ... tindif out u tiddomina kulħadd li stands fil-mod tiegħu.

"Fl-aħħar ġlieda tiegħu, Sullivan saret l-konkorrent obbligatorju għall ċinturin IBF Sergey Kovalev ta. Huwa seta sib lura u stenniet ġlieda titolu tiegħu, imma minflok huwa ra din il-ġlieda kontra l Andre Ward bħala opportunità biex verament jilħqu għall greatness u hu ma li. As you know kollha, Avvenimenti ewlenin u l-ROC Nazzjon Isport għandhom pjanijiet kbar għall Andre Ward u Sergey Kovalev aktar tard din is-sena u Sullivan Barrera jista 'verament mqalleb li CART tuffieħ.

 

"Dawn iż-żewġ irġiel, Sullivan u Andre, kienu kollox riding fuq ir-riżultat tal Sibt ġlieda. Fil-klima li għandna fil-boxing dritt issa, huwa iġjeniċi biex tara ġellieda reali li ma jibżgħux jieħdu riskji. Huma t-tnejn jistħoqqilhom rispett tagħna u ammirazzjoni għal dak. Dan huwa dak l-isport tagħna għandu jkun madwar.

 

"Sullivan Barrera ilu ma jitlef ma 'rekord ta' 17-0 ma 12 jirbaħ ġejjin permezz ta 'eliminatorja. Huwa biss daru 34, xahar ilu, li inti tista 'taħseb hija ftit antika għal dan il-punt fil-karriera tiegħu. Dak li inti tista 'ma jafu hu li huwa kellu karriera dilettanti suċċess fil-Kuba u mbagħad mitlufa bosta snin ta' prim tiegħu waqt li kien skoperta lill-Istati Uniti. Hu wasal triq verament twila li jkun hawn illum biex dan il-mument u din l-opportunità. Huwa bil-ġuħ, huwa kunfidenti u huwa lest. "

"Din hija karta meraviljuż ma 'atleti meraviljuż li qed jippruvaw jagħmlu mod tagħhom fid-dinja tal-boxing. Jekk din il-ġlieda kien qed iseħħ fi kwalunkwe belt oħra, ikun avveniment enormi.

OAKLAND, BĦAL (Marzu 23, 2015) - Nhar it-Tlieta, Marzu 22, Żewġ Ħin Dinja Champion u top-rated lira-għal-lira ġlied Andre Ward (28-0, 15 Kos) u n-numru wieħed ratata konkorrent heavyweight IBF dawl Sullivan Barrera (17-0, 12 Kos) ipparteċipa workout medjatiku fil Gym King fil Oakland, California bil-quddiem tagħhom Marzu 26 ġlieda fuq Oracle Arena fil Oakland.

NABF featherweight Champion Joseph "Jojo" Diaz Jr. (19-0, 11 Kos) u top-rated konkorrent featherweight Jayson "Star" Velez (23-1-1, 16 Kos) kienu wkoll fl-attendenza waqt l-workout qabel iż 10-round-ġlieda tagħhom titolu NABF featherweight li se tiftaħ l-telecast HBO.

 

Wara shadowboxing fiċ-ċirku u rounds ftit fuq l-ixkejjer ippanċjar, erba ġellieda kollha pparteċipaw fl-intervisti ma 'membri tal-midja fl-attendenza. Super Bowl Champion u indiġeni Oakland Marshawn Lynch, AVID sostenitur Andre Ward, kellu logħba speċjali matul il-workout b'appoġġ għall-Ward.

 

Hawn taħt huwa dak li l-ġellieda kellhom jgħidu matul il-workout midja finali:

 

ANDRE WARD, Żewġ Ħin Dinja Champion u top-rated lira-għal-lira ġlied:

"Inħoss tajba u I am lesta li tmur. Jien quċċata fil-ħin. Jien biss eċċitati biex tiksbu nhar is-Sibtlejl.

 

"I użati biex issuq mill-Oracle Arena fuq 880 bħala kid fit-triq tiegħi biex Gym King u wonder jekk I tista 'tagħmel dan hemm jum wieħed u [trainer] Virgil [Hunter] użati biex jgħidu b'kunfidenza, "Inti qed tmur biex lett hemmhekk." Kif sibt anzjani, I użati biex tmur xi wħud mill-karti mqiegħda fis fix-xena. I kien għadu dilettant u nixtieq biss ħolma. Ħaġa li jmiss inti taf, fil 2009, I kien fil-ġlieda sink jew jgħum kontra Edison Miranda. Jekk I rebaħ, kien hemm probabbilment ċans tajjeb li nixtieq nikseb xi sparatura titolu u l-bqija hija l-istorja. Hawnhekk aħna darb'oħra, huwa tiegħi 7th ħin Oracle u huwa għadu barka.

 

"Din kienet l-ħin id-dritt li jmorru heavyweight dawl. Hija kienet taħlita ta 'ma jkollhomx l-guys dritt għall-ġlieda jew guys li ma riedx li jiġġieldu lili. Irrid li jkun kbir. Dawn huma t-tipi ta 'jiċċaqlaq għandek tagħmel. I'ma student ta 'l-isport u meta I tistudja l-isport, dan huwa dak greats dejjem isir. Huma ningranaw. Dawk kbira jsibu mod biex tikseb dan isir u nixtieq li tkun f'dak konverżazzjoni.

 

"Barrera hu korp kbir. Hu fiduċjuż. Jidher li jkun zgħir tajba. Aħna ma pick lilu għaliex huwa touch soft. Aħna qabad lilu minħabba li huwa kien se tikseb lili lesti u urini dak li din il-klassi ta 'piż hija dwar. Jekk inti tħares lejn il-karriera tiegħi, hemm post għall intunazzjoni-ups li I ma kellhomx ħafna ta '. Inti tixtieq li jiġġieldu l-aħjar u jekk m'intix jiġġieldu l-aħjar, inti tixtieq li ġlieda kontra l-konkorrent numru wieħed. Dak hu li aħna qed tagħmel.

 

"I think I am tevolvi fi ġlied effiċjenti. Jien jiċċaqilqu meta I ikollha tiġi spustjata. Naħseb li l-sbuħija ta 'kull atleta li ma jabbużawx ġisem tiegħu u verament jieħu dgħajjes tiegħu bis-serjetà. Stajt tidher xi artikli li jallegaw tlift ewlenija tiegħi. Huwa crazy lili. Inħoss li jiena tajba daqs jien qatt qabel. Stajt ġiet fil-gym boxing mingħajr ħafna ta 'waqfa għall-aħħar 20 snin. moħħ tiegħi irringrazzjani għall-aħħar sentejn. korp tiegħi irringrazzjani. Jista 'jagħti me sentejn oħra fil-karriera tiegħi.

 

"Għandi li jkun biss lili. Min jien huwa biżżejjed. I m'għandhomx għalfejn juru għall Kovalev fil-folla nhar is-Sibtlejl. Aħna biss għandhom biex jimplimentaw il-pjan ta 'logħba. Naħseb li għaddej biex tibgħat il-messaġġ huwa suppost li jibagħtu u jekk ma jiġrix dan, allura hu ser [Kovalev] twassal il-messaġġ meta aħna ġlieda.

 

"Jekk jien ma jirbaħ din il-ġlieda, hemm xejn fl-triq. Jekk jien ma jirbaħ din il-ġlieda, Jien ma jixirqilhom għall-ġlieda għat-titlu. Dik hija r-realtà tas-sitwazzjoni tiegħi.

 

"Barrera qatt ma ġġieldu Guy bħali qabel, sabiex ikunu jistgħu jitkellmu logħba tajba. Huma jistgħu jiddominaw l-aħbarijiet li wassal għall-ġlieda. Huma jistgħu jgħidu l-għalf roqgħa li jkunu jridu jgħidu. Aħna biss trid jiddominaw l-aħbarijiet Il-Ħadd għodwa ta 'wara l-ġlieda huwa fuq. Dak hu li jien iffukat fuq. "

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Numru wieħed ratata IBF konkorrent heavyweight dawl:

"Jien aktar b'saħħitha milli Ward. Għandi l-isfond Kuban u tgħallimt ħafna ta 'ħiliet hemm. Aktar minn kull ħaġa oħra, id-determinazzjoni li jingħelbu xejn quddiem lili ser jgħinuni telfa Ward fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Ladarba I am fiċ-ċirku, huwa dar tiegħi.

 

"Hu x'inhu Ward għandha, I se jaġġustaw ruħhom għaliha u jegħlbu dan.

 

"Għandi żewġ idejn. Huwa għandu żewġ idejn. I jkollhom impjieg li tagħmel fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Naf Ward u Kovalev huma ferm rispettat ħafna u dawn joħolqu ħafna flus u ħafna ta 'interess, iżda dawn ma jkunux jafu liema Sullivan Barrera hija kapaċi tagħmel. I se jipprova li nhar is-Sibt.

 

"Jien ma verament Guy li għandu jħares għal eliminatorja. ħiliet boxing tiegħi jitkellmu għalihom infushom. I am ġlieda kontra Andre Ward u ġlied hawn fil Oakland, so I do not think deċiżjoni ser jisfaw favur tiegħi.

 

"Biex l-fannijiet kollha, speċjalment l-fannijiet Kubani li appoġġjaw me jekk jogħġbok jafu li jidħlu IS-SIBT, I am ser tagħmel dak kollu li nagħmel biex toħroġ rebbieħa. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF featherweight Champion:

"I ma jistax jistenna dak Jayson għamilt biex Ronny Rios matul din il-ġlieda. Stajt ltqajna biex tmur fil hemm, jittestja lilu out u aġġusta meta I am fil-ċirku.

 

"Jekk l-opportunità tippreżenta lilha nnifisha fejn hu iweġġgħu u nara li puntelli tiegħi huma l-kbira minnu, allura naturalment jien ser tikseb fil hemm, tkun aggressiva u kun żgur I jieħdu lilu kmieni kemm jista 'jkun.

 

"Naf jkollna fuq ġewwa, qtugħ barra l-anell u tieħdu lill-korp dritt bogħod se break lilu isfel. Li għaddej biex jagħmel lilu ma jiċċaqalqux ħafna u aktar tard fil rawnds nista 'art daqqa vizzjuż lill-kap. Jien ser tieħu lill-korp dritt bogħod.

 

"Mentalment Jiena 100% lest. Dan huwa stadju kbir fil-karriera tiegħi, hekk jien mentalment ffukati. Jien mħejjija sew. Inħoss bħal dan huwa l-mument I ilhom jistennew għall-ħajja kollu tiegħi kollu. Inħoss bħal jien lest għal dan u I ma jistgħux jistennew għall Marzu 26. I mħarrġa iebsa ħafna għal din il-ġlieda u jien ppreparati sew għaliha.

 

"I really jixtiequ jagħmlu stqarrija f'din il-ġlieda. Irrid li juru d-dinja li Joseph Diaz jista 'jkun il-ħaġa kbira li jmiss fil-boxing, so I mħarrġa diffiċli ħafna biex jitqiegħdu fuq ġlieda kbira għall-fannijiet ġlieda, jkunu aggressivi ħafna u jagħmilha gwerra fil hemmhekk. Nittama li Jayson Vélez huwa 110% lest minħabba I tixtieq li lilu tkun fl-aqwa tiegħu.

 

"Jekk jien jirbaħ din il-ġlieda u jagħmel dikjarazzjoni, I think I tista 'timxi għall-istatus konkorrent u nittamaw jiksbu dinja titolu maqtula mill-aħħar ta' din is-sena. Irrid li jiġġieldu l-avversarji iebsa din is-sena għaliex nixtieq li juru d-dinja li jiena.

 

"Inħoss bħal kruha meta I pass lejn il-ring u I jista 'jara dan fil sparring. Kulmeta Jien inżul daqqa effettivi, I tista 'tgħid li jiena jolqtu ħażin avversarju tiegħi. "

JAYSON VELEZ, konkorrent featherweight Top-rated:

"Fil-livell tiegħi, kull Guy huwa konkorrent top. Għandi biex iħarrġu aktar diffiċli u jtejbu d-difiża tiegħi. Stajt ilhom jaħdmu fuq din.

 

"Jekk inti tara aħħar tlieta jew erba tiegħi tissielet, se tara li ġew I jiddomina fl-ewwel ftit rawnds u mbagħad I jispiċċaw tal-gass, I kienu ilhom jaħdmu fuq stamina tiegħi hekk li mhux se jiġri fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Rajt tissielet Diaz. Imxejna sparred koppja ta 'drabi. Hu veloċità ltqajna. Hu ltqajna ġuħ. Huwa debutt HBO tiegħu, hekk hu definittivament motivati, imma hekk am I. Huwa ser tkun ġlieda kbira.

Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown.

Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on April 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Novembru 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California.
