Wba Light Heavyweight Champion Jean Pascal Previews Showdown Against Two-Division Champion Badou Jack WBA LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION JEAN PASCAL PREVIEWS SHOWDOWN AGAINST TWO-DIVISION CHAMPION BADOU JACK PUERTO RICO (December 20, 2019) – As Jean Pascal prepares to defend his WBA Light Heavyweight Title, the two-time world champion shared an update from his training camp in Puerto Rico as he prepares to take on two-division champion Badou Jack Saturday, December 28 live on SHOWTIME from the award- winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in a Premier Boxing Champions event. “Training camp has been excellent,” said Pascal. “I’ve been working hard in Puerto Rico, and feel very confident going into this fight. I stay at this elite level because I stay in the gym even when nothing is scheduled.” Pascal captured his title by defeating then unbeaten Marcus Browne in August by technical decision. Pascal came through in the underdog role, dropping Browne three times to earn the decision after the fight was stopped due to a cut suffered by Browne. I’ve been the underdog my whole career, so it’s nothing new to me,” said Pascal. “But I have to say that beating Marcus Browne did feel great. I showed the world that I’m special. I’ve been at the highest level of boxing for over eleven years and I’m still here. I became two-time champion ten years after winning the title the first time, I don’t think that’s ever been done in this division!” In his first title defense, Pascal will be facing an accomplished champion of super middleweight and light heavyweight in Jack. The WBA belt that Pascal will be defending was even held by Jack who won it in his debut in the 175-pound division. Now Pascal will look to take down another one of the biggest names in the weight class on December 28. “Badou is a great fighter,” said Pascal. “We both always look to fight the best. In my last fight I knew that Marcus would be on his back foot, but Badou comes to fight, so I’m going to be war ready. I consider him a boxing friend, but on December 28th when that bell rings, he’s the enemy.” Pascal and Jack share a recent common opponent, as Jack’s last fight saw him lose a decision to Browne, in a fight where Jack had to fight through a gruesome cut on his forehead just to make it to the final bell. Although both fights happened recently, the style difference between the fighters will make December 28 look very different according to Pascal. “I saw Jack’s fighting against Browne, but styles make fights so I don’t compare it to mine at all,” said Pascal. “Obviously Browne was lefty so sparring was different but for that fight I trained like Rocky chasing the chicken because of Browne’s style. Everyone saw me catch that chicken too, but for this fight I’m training like Rocky in the freezer, ready to fight! Pascal captured his first title in 2009 and on December 28 he will look to head into another new decade as a light heavyweight champion, with a chance to further cement his status as one of the top light heavyweights of the era. “I’m fighting for the fans and to cement my legacy,” said Pascal. “This is a another big fight and if you look at my record, that’s all I look for. On December 28 I promise the boxing world I’m coming to fight and I will be at my best.” Tickets for the event, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale and available through Ticketmaster.com. Good tickets are still available. All tickets start at $54 and $104. # ABOUT DAVIS VS. GAMBOA Davis vs. Gamboa will see two-time super featherweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis, Mayweather Promotions’ top rising star and boxing’s hottest attraction, as he takes on former unified world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight Title live on SHOWTIME Saturday, December 28 at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

  • Roy Jones Jr. to Face Mike Tyson in Historic "Exhibition Match"
    November 23, 2020 SEVILLE QUARTER CONTACT: BUCK MITCHELL MARKETING & ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR [email protected] 850-434-6211 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ROY JONES JR. TO FACE MIKE TYSON IN HISTORIC "EXHIBITION MATCH" PENSACOLA, Fl. – Get ready for the most anticipated fight in the history of boxing, reminiscent to professional bouts featuring immortal fighters like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Roy Jones Jr., 51 and Iron Mike Tyson, 54 enter the ring against each other for an eight-round “Exhibition Fight” at The Staples Center in Los Angeles (without fans in attendance). The fight will be shown on PPV at Seville Quarter in Downtown Pensacola (Jones’s hometown) on Saturday, November 28, 2020. The fights, including undercard fights, will start at 8pm. Jones (66-9), former four-division World Champion challenges Tyson (50-6), former undisputed Heavyweight World Champion. The fight is scheduled to take place on Thanksgiving weekend, November 28, 2020. The bout is officially sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission with the WBC Frontline Battle Belt on the line. The Jones-Tyson comeback fight is labeled an ‘Exhibition,’ but that does not mean it is solely for entertainment purposes. The two boxing legends doubled down and are taking this fight very seriously. The fight already has Jones fired up as Tyson talks about looking for a knockout. Jones is looking forward to his chance to fulfill a bucket-list moment and testing his skills against Tyson. The one question Jones says he always hears from people is, "have you ever fought Mike Tyson?" He says "now I don't have to say 'no' no more." Jones is still taking the fight seriously.

  • Mayweather V Mcgregor LIVE on MAIN EVENT Sunday August 27 from 11Am Or Stream from Mainevent.Com.Au
    Media Release: Monday August 7, 2017 Mayweather v McGregor LIVE on MAIN EVENT Sunday August 27 from 11am or stream from mainevent.com.au The two biggest stars from the world of boxing and MMA, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor, will enter the ring on August 27 to go head-to-head in a hotly anticipated boxing bout LIVE on Foxtel’s MAIN EVENT or available to stream from mainevent.com.au. The fight will take place on the world famous Las Vegas Strip in front of a sold out T-Mobile Arena crowd in what is set to be the highest grossing and most talked-about fight of all time. Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be looking to cement his position as the greatest pound-for-pound boxer in history as he comes out of retirement to take on UFC’s most recognised talent and reigning UFC lightweight champion, Conor McGregor. Despite being out of the ring since 2015, Mayweather’s reputation remains untouched, boasting an incredible 49-0 professional boxing record. McGregor, known as one of the most dangerous strikers in MMA, will utilise his fierce and competitive nature in an effort to overcome the undefeated boxing legend. As the date looms closer both of the outspoken fighters have been creating a stir with Mayweather challenging McGregor to wear smaller gloves – which means harder punches. In hoping his superior boxing skills will show through with smaller gloves, Mayweather said, “Whatever advantage McGregor needs to feel more comfortable in the ring, I’m willing to accommodate. Let’s give the boxing and MMA fans what they want to see.” In addition to the MAIN EVENT broadcast for Foxtel customers, the Mayweather v McGregor fight can be streamed to anyone with an internet connection via www.mainevent.com.au using Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac or Linux OS or on tablets including Google Android devices and Apple iPad or iPhone devices.
