"I'm excited about coming to New York City, I'm excited about ddisplaying my talents and I'm excited about fighting at Barclays Center," said Wilder. "I want to thank my oppponent Artuur Szpilka for accepting this opportunity that I'm giving him. I wish him luck - he's going to need it. I look forward to winning over the Polish fans after I beat him. I know he's a southpaw and he tends to give up when things get tough in the ring, going off the fight he had with Bryant Jennings. He doesn't have heart when it gets tough. I look forward to giving the fans plenty of action and excitement on Jan. 16." "It feels amazing to get the opportunity to fight Deontay for his heavyweight world title," said Szpilka. "I can't wait to be the first ever Polish heavyweight to win a world title. I've dreamed about this many times, and now my time has come. I'll be ready to put on a show for my fans and take his belt from him on Jan. 16." "It should be an exciting night on Jan. 16 when the 'Bronze Bomber' defends his title, for the first time at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, against rugged brawler Artur Szpilka," said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. "Brash and outspoken, the Polish fighter looks to derail Deontay and become the first Polish heavyweight champion of the world in boxing history. This is Deontay's third title defense in 12 months and a victory will lead to a major clash in his next bout." "I'm very excited that Artur Szpilka is getting an opportunity to become the first heavyweight champion in the history of Poland," said Leon Margules, President of Warriors Boxing. "We're thrilled that Artur will be able to fight for the title in a boxing-rich city like Brooklyn and in front of what will undoubtedly be a strong showing of support from his Polish fans." "SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING has been the home of many of the biggest and best heavyweight world title fights of the last 30 years, and we are proud to continue that legacy with Deontay Wilder," said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. "Deontay has used his rare blend of raw power, athleticism and charisma to become one of the can't-miss boxers of this era. Credit Artur Szpilka for accepting the challenge. Szpilka is a young, strong southpaw with good power and a flair for showmanship, and he is eager to make the most of his first world title opportunity. January 16 is sure to be an exciting night on SHOWTIME." "It took 115 years, but Heavyweight Championship boxing is back in Brooklyn," said Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark. "I spent some time with Deontay at the Jacobs-Quillin fight last Saturday and he can't wait to defend his title at Barclays Center, but it won't be easy. Artur Szpilka is a great fighter and is sure to be well represented by the 'Little Poland' neighborhood of nearby Greenpoint. The borough is ready for Heavyweight Championship boxing. It was worth the wait." The 6-foot-7 Wilder will be making his third title defense and fourth fight in 364 days. The 30-year-old won the WBC belt with a unanimous decision over Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17, 2015 in Las Vegas, in his first professional fight to go past the fourth round. Wilder successfully defended the belt against Eric Molina (KO 9) last June 13 and most recently against Johann Duhaupas (TKO 11) on Sept. 26. Both of the title defenses took place in his home state of Alabama. The last heavyweight champion to fight four times in 12 months was Lennox Lewis in 2000-01. Lewis was also the last undisputed heavyweight champion. "I'm looking forward to being the next undisputed heavyweight champion and the most active heavyweight champion in history," Wilder said. "I'm also active once I get into the ring. In my last fight, I landed an average of 30 of the 53 punches that I threw each round. That was more than double what Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko landed, combined." Before turning pro in November 2008, Wilder won the bronze medal at heavyweight for the U.S. at the 2008 Olympic Games. He is the last American male boxer to medal in The Olympics. The aggressive-minded, 6-foot-3 Szpilka has won four consecutive fights since suffering the only loss of his career to then-undefeated Bryant Jennings in 2014. The 26-year-old rebounded with a 10-round unanimous decision over former cruiserweight world champion Tomasz Adamek in 2014 and stoppage victories over Yasmany Consuegra, Manuel Quezada and Ty Cobb in 2015. A pro since 2008, the southpaw first gained notice when he stopped the once-touted Owen Beck in four rounds in 2011, then unanimously outpointed former world title challenger Jameel McCline the following year. Szpilka has honed his boxing skills under the tutelage of Houston-based trainer Ronnie Shields.While he is still predisposed to brawling and coming forward, Szpilka has developed into a more complete fighter under Shields and one that could be the toughest test of the young world champion's career. Brooklyn has a deep history in heavyweight boxing, including hometown heavyweight champions Mike Tyson, Floyd Patterson, Riddick Bowe, Shannon Briggs and Michael Moorer. In addition, Brooklyn- native and 1984 Olympic Gold medalist Mark Breland serves as one of Wilder's coaches. # # # Barclays Center's BROOKLYN BOXING™ programming platform is presented by AARP.

  • World Title Challenger Duhaupas: “Hrgovi?'S Style
    WORLD TITLE CHALLENGER DUHAUPAS: “HRGOVI?’S STYLE AND ABILITY ARE SIMILAR TO VITALI KLITSCHKO” Former WBC World Heavyweight Title Challenger and WBA International Heavyweight Champion Johann Duhaupas has compared Filip Hrgovi? (9-0, 7 KOs) to legendary three-time World Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko. The experienced Frenchman has been in Miami sparring Hrgovi?, alongside undefeated British heavyweight prospect Fabio Wardley and top Belgian cruiserweight Joel Tambwe Djeko, ahead of his WBC International Title clash with Eric Molina (27-5, 19 KOs) on December 7th at the purpose built Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia. Duhaupas, who first encountered Hrgovi? at a Wladimir Klitschko training camp in Austria, says he has been impressed with the fast rising Croatian star, and states his ‘style and ability’ are similar to the elder Klitschko brother Vitali. “I first met Filip at the Klitschko camp in Austria and he impressed me,” said Duhaupas. “He has a good right hand, fast and strong, and you can see he aims to become a World Champion. I smell it in him. His style and ability are similar to Vitali Klitschko. Duhaupas is renowned for fighting some of the heavyweight division’s elite talent having faced the likes of Deontay Wilder, Alexander Povetkin and Jarrell Miller, and believes Hrgovi? is now ready to face similar big names. “Deontay is a killer, but Filip already has a good right hand and maybe in one year with more muscle and power he could punch as hard as Wilder,” says Duhaupas. “With good mental and physical preparation, I believe Filip could win by KO against Miller or Povetkin.” Hrgovi? must first overcome two-time World Title Challenger Molina from Texas, USA.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

    PHOTOS AND QUOTES FROM BROAD STREET BOXING PRESS CONFERENCE JENNINGS VS. TUPOU & KENNEDY VS. BELMONTES Teon Kennedy and Bryant Jennings Photo Credits :John DiSanto PHILADLEPHIA - A press conference was held to officially announce the next installment of the NBC Sports Network "Fight Night" boxing series. On December 8, 2012, a Philly-centric fight card will take place at Temple University's Pearson / McGonigle Hall on Broad Street in North Philly. The NBCSN broadcast will begin at 9PM ET. North Philly native and #5 heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings, 15-0, 7 KOs, takes on Bowie Tupou, 22-2, 16 KOs, of Tonga, in the 12-round main event with Jennings' USBA heavyweight title on the line. The 10-round junior lightweight co-feature bout is an intriguing face off between North Philadelphian Teon Kennedy, 17-2-2, 7 KOs, who's coming off a world title challenge, and the undefeated Texan Jerry Belmontes, 17-0, 5 KOs. Kennedy is moving up in weight for the fight. From the lobby of the fight venue, Hall of Fame promoter J Russell Peltz, a Temple University Grad, conducted the press conference, and along with Jennings and Kennedy spoke about the upcoming blockbuster event promoted by Main Events, Peltz Boxing, Goossen Tutor and BAM Boxing. J Russell Peltz with Temple Owl Photo Credits: John DiSanto J Russell Peltz: "This building opened in 1969 and I've been a (Temple Basketball) season ticket holder ever since. But I never thought I'd be promoting a fight here, certainly not on national television. "Fight Night" is probably the most successful boxing series going right now on television because the fights are actually competitive.
