Errol Spence Jr., Chris Algieri, Krzysztof Glowacki, Steve Cunningham, Marcus Browne & Radivoje Kalajdzic Media Conference Errol Spence Jr., Chris Algieri, Krzysztof Glowacki, Steve Cunningham, Marcus Browne & Radivoje Kalajdzic Media Conference Call Transcript Click HERE For MP3 Lou DiBella Thanks for joining us on this call. We wanted to give all the press an opportunity to speak to all six fighters that will be televised on NBC on Saturday night April 16. The TV fights will begin at 8:30 pm ET/5:30 pm PT This event's taking place at the beautiful Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by DiBella Entertainment in association with Star Boxing and sponsored by Corona, start at $25, and they can be purchased online at ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000. And they're also available at the American Express Box Office at the Barclays Center. Thanks all for joining us. We're going to get started with the co-feature of the evening, which is the WBO Cruiserweight Championship between champion Krzysztof Głowacki and Steve "U.S.S." Cunningham. Głowacki made a big splash with his fight of the year performance against Marco Huck when he spectacularly knocking Huck out in the 11th round to capture the world title after having been knocked down himself and rising like the Undertaker does in WWE promotions. It was really one of the more remarkable turnarounds I've seen in a world title fight. You can expect the 29-year-old Głowacki to receive heavy support on April 16 from the large Polish population in Brooklyn as he fights in the U.S. for the second time. He had a sensational record of 103-9 as an amateur before turning pro in 2008. Polish Peter is on the line and he'll function as Krzysztof's translator. I'm going to let the champion Krzysztof Głowacki say a few words first. Krzysztof Głowacki First of all I am so happy I'm able to fight again in the United States. I am expecting to deliver another great fight. I hope both Polish and American fans are going to be watching me and supporting me, because I want to deliver a great fight. I have more than 110 sparring rounds already behind me, with very tough fighters. I'm perfectly healthy and absolutely ready to come to the United States and defend my title. L. DiBella Thank you Krzysztof. Steve "U.S.S." Cunningham, I'm not going to say a lot about him this time. Enough has been said. He's one of the most known commodities in boxing. Two-time World Cruiserweight Champion, 39-years-old but with a lot left in the tank. Trained by brother Naazim Richardson, a veteran of the Navy. This is absolutely a very, very strong challenge to Głowacki's title and a fight that I expect to be extremely entertaining. Steve Cunningham I'm very excited to have another opportunity and world title. Coming back down to cruiserweight wasn't difficult at all. I was a cruiserweight who was fighting heavyweight and I'm just ready. I'm always ready, I'm always prepared, I'm always in gym. We are preparing for Głowacki. He's a formidable foe. He made, like everybody's seen, he made a big splash in his American debut and people are going to want to see him live up to that. We want to get together, we want to make some fireworks, and my goal is to be three-time world champion and please the fans and television. So there we have it. I'm going back in, and this is not new territory for me but it's a new opponent, so we take him very seriously and we don't look past anything. Q I was just wondering what you thought of Głowacki's performance in his last fight. What did you think about what he did against Huck in that fight? S. Cunningham It was impressive. You got a guy who went down early in the fight against Marco Huck as a champion that he was working on breaking a record that fight. So he had a lot of steam behind him. Marco Huck is a formidable champion. He will be remembered as a great cruiserweight champion. But Głowacki stepped up. He got up off the canvas and he just stayed the course. And he stopped the champion. That's how you beat the champion. A lot of people want to see champions beat like that, and Głowacki gave everybody what they wanted. So like I said, he's nothing to look down on because we hadn't seen him fight in America before. We always take every opponent seriously. So we're going to come prepared. Q Steve, how much respect do you have for a guy like that who got off the deck against a guy he wasn't supposed to beat? You've been in that position yourself and done that. So what do you think of that? S. Cunningham I think he's awesome. I've been in that position myself so I know the motivation and drive he had behind him in order to go through and fight a guy like Marco Huck in front of so many fans from him home country here in America. So he was driven. That fan base drives him. I know he'll be driven on the 16th, but I'm driven also. Like I said, this isn't new territory to me. I've been there. I fought in Poland twice. I fought in Germany numerous times, South Africa too. So I'm really not used to fighting at home, but when I fight at Barclays Center I will be closer to home but it's going to still feel like Poland because those fans, his fans are going to engulf that place and then frame it with cheers for their guy. Like I said, it's not new to us, it's not new territory but a new opponent, little things we tweak up in camp, and come April 16 it's time to get in there and show it off. Q Steve, when you were fighting at heavyweight, did you always think that you would give cruiserweight another try and go back down? S. Cunningham No I didn't. I never thought I'd be heavyweight. My initial goal was to stay cruiserweight and do my best and do my part to put the cruiserweight division on the map here in America. Because, as you guys know, when I was a cruiserweight champion, there was no attention, no wealth, no television, no anything for cruiserweight. So my goal was to try to help this cruiserweight division on the theme, be the best cruiserweight and make good fights, but it's like I got elbowed out of the cruiserweight division. Even with a belt I couldn't unify it. Then I lost my belt and these guys wouldn't fight me even then. They still knew how I lost my belt wasn't right. So the only way I could go was up. I couldn't make light heavyweight so heavyweight was it. But after heavyweight, after I was there and I was able to compete and these guys became national USBA champion and I felt I got robbed a few times from stopping me from getting that number one spot, I felt I was going to stay heavyweight. But then we realized that hey these judges, they're not understanding what you're doing to these big guys. They like their heavyweights to knock guys out, to throw a couple punches and somebody's on the ground. You've got Steve Cunningham in there running punches. I'm throwing 700, 800 punches a fight, moving, flipping, countering and that's not a heavyweight to them. So the team, my wife, my manager, we all sat down and just like, "Hey let's just go, let's do the cruiserweight thing now and make it happen from there." Q Do you feel you're done with heavyweight at this point? S. Cunningham No I'm not. I still think there's a possibility, because you guys know I can go back and compete with those big guys. I floored the heavyweight world champion right now with one punch. That's Tyson Fury. So I can compete. Even though he won that fight, I can compete with these guys. I beat some big guys, some good, some heavier guys, some good heavyweight fighters. When we win this fight and we beat this man, which could give me a quick shoot right to some titles, right to a title fight at heavyweight. But, that's always a possibility but the major thing is beating Głowacki April 16. Q Krzysztof, after the fight with Marco Huck, the great comeback against him, were you at all disappointed that you had to stay out as long as he did because my understanding is you had some injuries that you suffered in that fight? K. Głowacki It was very frustrating. I wanted to be back sooner than later but my doctors were telling me that this was a 7-millimeter break in my hand so I couldn't do anything. I was trying to do everything. I was running, I was spending some time in the gym, but obviously not boxing. But maybe there was a silver lining in disguise because it makes me so unbelievably hungry to actually be back right now. So this is my time and this time away made me even more hungry than usual.

  • How I Got the Job at Adidas Combat Gear When I Initially Heard About Adidas Combat Sports USA, It Was Through My Friend Jeff
    How I Got The Job at Adidas Combat Gear When I initially heard about adidas Combat Sports USA, it was through my friend Jeff Chu, a local photographer and videographer. He had taken on a job as part of his freelance career and since I had recently been laid off from a magazine I was working for, decided to tag along. "It's all about the networking in this business," Jeff said. And it is. Because I tagged along, I met ACS President Scott Viscomi and five months later had a job as a blog editor of this website. Before Scott had taken on the task of creating some of the best gear in the combat sports industry, the adidas logo had entered the realm of jiu-jitsu competition when I was only a white belt years ago. Or at least that's the first time I had seen it. The gis that were created then were more cut for a judo competitor, with short sleeves and stiff material. It wasn't pliable, equipt to move along with a jiu-jitsu athlete while playing spider guard or butterfly guard, or passing guard and taking the back. Somewhere along the line, before I ever saw an adidas gi again, the design changed. It was in new hands. As I walked into Church Street Boxing in Lower Manhattan, it was a lot different from the jiu-jitsu academies I'd trained in for six years. In the middle of the main room was a raised boxing ring and all around it were walls covered in mirrors and old photographs and fight posters.

The fair will include performances by local artists and booths offering crafts and services. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. and the fair will remain open until 5 p.m. This year’s honorees span different generations and areas of expertise. Algieri, 30, grew up in Huntington and graduated from St. Anthony’s High School, where he captained the varsity wrestling team and later served as an assistant coach. He graduated from Stony Brook University, with honors, with a degree in health care management and later earned a master’s degree from the New York Institute of Technology. A kickboxer in college, Algieri won the International Sport Karate Association’s Welterweight and World Kickboxing Association Super Welterweight Championships before retiring as a kickboxer to take up prizefighting.
