Two exciting high-stakes showdowns have been added to the jam-packed four-fight FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event headlined by the return of former WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder as he takes top-rated Robert “The Nordic Nightmare” Helenius on Saturday, October 15 from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The telecast will feature undefeated Cuban sensation Frank Sanchez battling Puerto Rican Olympian Carlos Negron in a 10-round heavyweight duel, while top bantamweight contenders Gary Antonio Russell and Emmanuel Rodriguez meet in a 12-round rematch opening the pay-per-view telecast at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
In the co-feature, former IBF Super Middleweight Champion Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant faces two-time WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell in a WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator between 168-pound rivals.
Tickets for the event, which is promoted by BombZquad Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through seatgeek.com and barclayscenter.com. Tickets are also available for purchase in-person at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center.
An amateur standout from his native Cuba, Sánchez (20-0, 13 KOs) now trains in California with renowned trainer Joe Goossen. The 30-year-old has remained busy on his rise up the heavyweight rankings, scoring three victories in 2020 as he earned a unanimous decision over Joey Dawejko and stopped Brian Howard and Julian Fernandez. Sanchez caught boxing fan’s attention when he scored a career-best win in October 2021, dropping the previously unbeaten Efe Ajagba on his way to a unanimous decision victory. Sanchez kicked off the New Year with a 10-round decision triumph against Christian Hammer in his last fight.
The 2008 Puerto Rican Olympian Negron (25-3, 20 KOs) was scheduled to meet Sanchez on January 1 but had to withdraw from the fight after testing positive for COVID-19. Negron rides a five-fight winning streak into the match against Sanchez, including four wins by stoppage. The 34-year-old bounced back from defeats to Dominic Breazeale and Brian Howard to put together his win streak, which includes a March 2020 knockout over previously unbeaten Robert Alfonso. He scored an eight round unanimous decision over Scott Alexander in his last fight in May 2021. Negron has fought professionally since 2009 and now lives in Miami where he trains alongside Luis Ortiz.
The 29-year-old Russell (19-0, 12 KOs) originally met the former champion Rodriguez in August 2021, but an accidental clash of heads ended the fight as a no-contest before the first round was completed. The middle brother between WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. and 2016 U.S. Olympian Gary Antuanne, Russell returned to the ring after the Rodriguez bout to earn a decision victory over Alexis Santiago in November 2021. Fighting out of Capitol Heights, Maryland, Russell also owns a decision victory over former world champion Juan Carlos Payano in December 2020.
Fighting out of Manati, Puerto Rico, Rodríguez (20-2, 13 KOs) has also added a victory since his first clash with Russell, knocking out Roberto Sanchez Cantu in March. The 30-year-old won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to unbeaten champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 title bout.

Solid card imo

Wilder-Helenius: Price Point For FOX Sports PPV Show Same As Cost For Ruiz-Ortiz​

deontay-wilder%20(12)_1663895186.jpg

BY KEITH IDEC
Published Thu Sep 29, 2022, 01:52 PM EDT
The price point for Premier Boxing Champions’ next FOX Sports Pay-Per-View show is the same as it cost for fans to watch PBC’s most recent event on that platform.
BoxingScene.com has confirmed that the suggested retail price for the four-fight show headlined by heavyweights Deontay Wilder and Robert Helenius on October 15 is $74.99. The pay-per-view show in which former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz defeated Luis Ortiz by unanimous decision in the 12-round main event September 4 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles cost consumers the same amount as the Wilder-Helenius card.
Wilder is consistently listed as at least a 7-1 favorite to beat Helenius, but this bout is on pay-per-view because Wilder’s undisclosed seven-figure guarantee for his first fight in over a year is high enough that it would’ve been cost-prohibitive for FOX or Showtime to televise Wilder-Helenius live on either of those networks that have content contracts with Al Haymon’s PBC.
Each of the 36-year-old Wilder’s past three bouts and four of his past five fights have headlined pay-per-view shows. The 38-year-old Helenius has never been part of a pay-per-view main event in the United States.
The heavy-handed Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs), of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, hasn’t fought since rival Tyson Fury knocked him out in the 11th round of their third WBC championship match last October 9 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Finland’s Helenius (31-3, 20 KOs) last fought on that same night, when he stopped Brooklyn’s Adam Kownacki (20-3, 15 KOs) in the sixth round of their rematch on the Fury-Wilder undercard.
Three fights will compose the pay-per-view portion of the Wilder-Helenius undercard.
Former super middleweight champions Caleb Plant (21-1, 12 KOs), of Ashland City, Tennessee, and Anthony Dirrell (34-2-2, 25 KOs), of Flint, Michigan, are set to square off in the 12-round co-feature. Cuban heavyweight contender Frank Sanchez (20-0, 13 KOs) also will oppose Puerto Rico’s Carlos Negron (25-3, 20 KOs) in a 10-round Wilder-Helenius undercard clash on pay-per-view.
The opener of this four-fight telecast, which will begin at 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT, is a 12-round rematch between unbeaten bantamweight contender Gary Antonio Russell (19-0, 12 KOs, 1 NC) and former IBF 118-pound champion Emmanuel Rodriguez (20-2, 13 KOs, 1 NC). Their fight in August 2021 resulted in a no-contest because an accidental clash of heads caused a cut that prevented Puerto Rico’s Rodriguez from continuing early in the first round at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Michel Rivera To Face Jerry Perez on Wilder-Helenius Undercard​

michel-rivera_1615539415.jpg

BY JAKE DONOVAN

Michel Rivera has spent most of the year pushing for a title shot or a major fight.
For now, the unbeaten lightweight contender will settle for a stay-busy affair.
BoxingScene.com has confirmed that Rivera will return to the ring on October 15 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. His likely opponent will be Jerry Perez, pending approval from the New York State Athletic Commission for a fight that will come in support of the Fox Sports/Fite TV Pay-Per-View portion of the evening.
Headlining the show, former longtime WBC heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41KOs) will face resurgent contender Robert Helenius (31-3, 20KOs) in a scheduled 12-round WBC semifinal eliminator. Rivera will likely appear on the FS1 portion of the show preceding the PPV card.
Rivera (23-0, 14KOs)—an unbeaten Dominican fighter who lives and trains in Miami—has been angling for a shot at secondary WBA lightweight titlist Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis (27-0, 25KOs). Both fight under the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) banner, and Rivera—who is promoted by Sampson Lewkowicz—was led to believe he was in the title mix following a seventh-round stoppage of Jon Fernandez in their title eliminator last July in Carson, California.
The win over Fernandez came at a time when the interim WBA lightweight title was still in existence, though the belt was since removed from circulation. Davis appears to be on another path at the moment, while undisputed WBA ‘Super’/WBC/IBF/WBO champ Devin Haney (28-0, 15KOs) will next face George Kambosos in a rematch also scheduled for October 15 (US time) at Rod Laver Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
That leaves Rivera to accept opportunities that at least keep him in the ring rather than on the sidelines. His upcoming fight with Perez (14-1, 11KOs) will come nearly seven months after his most recent win, a ten-round decision over then-unbeaten Joseph Adorno on a March 26 Showtime card from The Armory in Minneapolis.
Perez suffered his lone career defeat to another PBC lightweight, suffering a seventh-round stoppage at the hands of Frank Martin last April 20 in Los Angeles. The 29-year-old from Oak Hills, California has since rebounded with a fifth-round stoppage of unbeaten Erick Lanzas Jr. on the non-televised undercard of the Jermell Charlo-Brian Castano Showtime-headlining rematch on May 14 at Dignity Health Sports Park.
Rivera’s placement on the Wilder-Helenius card marks his first career fight in New York, and ninth straight in the U.S.

i heard he wants usyk....ehh it depends if usyk can take the power(which he might). but yeah he gonna outbox wilder and hopefully dodge that right the whole fight.(if they fight)
deontay wilder is a fighter that will throw a punch and take 30 seconds to start another punch. he will throw 4 right hands a round and if you make them all miss you can win that round with your smile. there is no heavyweight that can last a long time with a style like that.

Plant: Dirrell Couldn't Even Hold His Title Long Enough For Us To Have A Unification Match​

caleb-plant%20(5)_1662570326.jpg

BY JAKE DONOVAN
Published Sun Oct 02, 2022, 01:15 PM EDT
Caleb Plant always figured that a fight with Anthony Dirrell was inevitable.
The matchup first landed in Plant’s radar when their respective title reigns overlapped four roughly seven months. Any hope of securing a title unification bout ended seven months later, when Dirrell turned over his WBC super middleweight crown to David Benavidez in a September 2019 ninth-round stoppage defeat while Plant was still unbeaten and in his first year as the IBF titlist.
“I didn’t know for sure but I always knew it would be a possibility,” Plant said of eventually facing Dirrell. “But he couldn’t even hold his title long enough for us to have a unification match.”
The pair of contentious rivals finally meet as part of an October 15 Fox Sports Pay-Per-View show from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
It will come more than three-and-a-half years after they won their respective belts six weeks apart in 2019. Plant (21-1, 12KOs) claimed the IBF super middleweight title in a January 2019 twelve-round, unanimous decision win over Jose Uzcategui, while Dirrell entered his second title reign after claiming the vacant WBC belt in a February 2019 technical split decision win over Avni Yildirim.
As was the case during his first reign more than four years prior, Dirrell (34-2-2, 25KOs) lost the belt in his first fight back in the ring after claiming title status.
“He wins his title, he loses it right away,” Plant noted of Dirrell’s history over his two brief title reigns. “He beats a blown-up middleweight in Sakio Bika, then he loses it to Badou Jack. He gets it back then loses it right back. He ain’t ever had one successful title defense. So, we ain’t had the chance (to unify).”
Plant—a 30-year-old former titlist from Las Vegas by way of Ashland City, Tennessee—made three successful defenses of his IBF belt before losing via eleventh-round knockout to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in their undisputed championship clash last November 6 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Dirrell returned to the win column on the undercard of that Showtime PPV event, earning a fourth-round stoppage of Marcos Hernandez.
Neither Plant nor Dirrell have fought since that night. Their grudge match will serve as the chief support on the Fox Sports PPV headlined by a WBC heavyweight semifinal title eliminator between former champ Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41KOs) and resurgent contender Robert Helenius (31-3, 20KOs).
