CANCER SURVIVOR DANIEL JACOBS AND GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS TO HOST ALEX'S LEMONADE STAND TO RAISE MONEY FOR KIDS' CANCER FIGHT AT BARCLAYS CENTER WEIGH-IN ON FRIDAY, APRIL 26‏

Jacobs Set To Fight This Saturday Night At Barclays Center in Brooklyn on the Undercard of the Unified Super Lightweight World Championship Between Danny Garcia and Zab Judah

The title of "Cancer Survivor" is the most important accolade Daniel "Miracle Man" Jacobs will ever earn, and this Friday, Jacobs and Golden Boy Promotions will be assisting others in reaching that milestone as well. In order to raise funds and awareness for world-renowned pediatric cancer charity, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer, a lemonade stand will be on site at Barclays Center in Brooklyn during the Friday, April 26 public weigh-in of the Danny Garcia vs. Zab Judah Unified Super Lightweight World Championship taking place on Saturday, April 27. The stand will be located in the Barclays Center Geico Atrium.

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to set up a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex set up that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $60 million toward fulfilling Alex's dream of finding a cure, funding over 275 pediatric cancer research projects nationally. For more information on Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation

As Jacobs overcame a battle against Osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer often found in younger patients, it was important to him to support this outstanding charity focusing on children. The 26-year-old middleweight isn't the only cancer survivor playing a major role in Saturday's highly anticipated boxing event at Barclays Center. Unified Super Lightweight World Champion Danny "Swift" Garcia's father and trainer, Angel Garcia, courageously fought stage four throat cancer during his son's amateur career. The elder Garcia won his difficult battle with cancer, enabling him to guide his son to professional boxing stardom.

Fans and media members can support this cause by purchasing lemonade and/or making a donation at the lemonade stand on site on Friday. Jacobs and his son Nathaniel, as well as some of the families of Saturday night's participants are scheduled to be on site pouring lemonade to raise funds for Alex's Lemonade Stand. In addition to cash purchases, donations can be made via text and check at the lemonade stand. For those unable to attend the weigh-in at Barclays Center, they can support Jacobs' cause and Alex's Lemonade Stand through the official fundraising page of Alex's Lemonade Stand on their website.

BROOKLYN IS IN THE HOUSE!; DANNY JACOBS, LUIS COLLAZO, BOYD MELSON AND ZACHARY OCHOA STACK BARCLAYS CENTER UNDERCARD; THE BRONX' EDDIE GOMEZ AND STATEN ISLAND'S MARCUS BROWNE ALSO IN ACTION TONIGHT

BROOKLYN IS IN THE HOUSE!

DANNY JACOBS, LUIS COLLAZO, BOYD MELSON
AND ZACHARY OCHOA STACK
BARCLAYS CENTER UNDERCARD

THE BRONX' EDDIE GOMEZ AND STATEN ISLAND'S

MARCUS BROWNE ALSO IN ACTION TONIGHT

Representing four of New York City's five boroughs, top talents from the Big Apple will descend on Brooklyn's Barclays Center tonight to engage in exciting bouts leading up to the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast featuring Unified Super Lightweight World Champion Danny Garcia defending against former Two-Division World Champion Zab Judah and WBO Middleweight World Champion Peter Quillin meeting top middleweight contender Fernando Guerrero.

Fighters also in action this weekend will be Brooklyn's Danny Jacobs, Luis Collazo, Boyd Melson and Zachary Ochoa, the Bronx' Eddie Gomez and Staten Island's OlympianMarcus Browne

Heading up this New York-centric undercard will be an eight-round middleweight bout between Danny Jacobs (24-1, 21 KO's) and Keenan Collins (15-7-3, 10 KO's). A former world title challenger, Jacobs defeated his biggest foe when he recently conquered cancer. Now back in the ring with two knockout wins under his belt, Jacobs will meet the stiffest test of his comeback in Collins. Born in Brooklyn but now living in York, Pennsylvania, the 36-year-old Collins is unbeaten in his last three bouts, so Jacobs needs to be ready for wily Collins.

Former world welterweight champion Luis Collazo (32-5, 16 KO's) made his own return to the ring after a year away last October during Barclays Center inaugural fight night with an exciting win over Steve Upsher Chambers. In an eight-round bout, the 32-year-old Collazo will look to make it two straight wins when he faces fellow veteran Miguel Callist (27-8-1, 18 KO's), a Panamanian southpaw who has won five of his last seven fights.

Twenty-year-old Eddie Gomez (13-0, 9 KO's) didn't stay long the last time he was in Barclays Center, needing just 77 seconds to dispatch Javier Gomez on March 9. The skilled and powerful junior middleweight will be seeking a similar result when he meets up with Ibarra, Ecuador's Luis "Morochito" Hernandez (21-4, 14 KO's) in an eight-round battle.

In a six-round super middleweight bout, popular local prospect Boyd Melson (9-1-1, 3 KO's) hopes to deliver another fight to remember for New York fans when he takes on Puerto Rico's Edgar Perez (5-3, 2 KO's). As is always the case when he fights, Melson will be donating his entire purse to spinal cord injury research.

2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne (3-0, 3 KO's) has been dazzling in his brief pro career, and if he has it his way, he will make it four for four in his four-round light heavyweight matchup against Philadelphia's Taneal Goyco (4-5-1, 2 KO's).

Rising Brooklyn star Zachary Ochoa (3-0, 3 KO's) will make his Barclays Center debut when he meets Prichard, Alabama's Calvin Smith (2-2) in a scheduled four-round super lightweight bout.

Rounding out an outstanding undercard card will be a bantamweight battle between Philadelphia's Miguel Cartagena (5-0, 3 KO's) and Chicago's Angel Carvajal (2-0) and a super middleweight matchup pitting Temple Hills, Maryland's D'Mitrius Ballard (1-0, 1 KO) against Baton Rouge, Louisiana's Marcus Clay (2-5). Both bouts are slated for four rounds.

LIVE SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING TELECAST

Since the beginning of their professional careers,Paulie "The Magic Man" Malignaggi and Adrien "The Problem" Broner, two of the biggest talkers in all of boxing, have never been afraid to speak up. Now, the time has come to put up or shut up as Malignaggi will defend his WBA Welterweight World Championship against undefeated Two-Division World Champion Broner on Saturday, June 22 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING^® main event. Plus, the heavyweight rematch the world has been waiting for is set as Johnathon Banks will look to repeat his 2012 upset win over Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell in the co-feature for Banks' NABO and WBC International Heavyweight titles.

Malignaggi vs. Broner, a 12-round fight for Malignaggi's WBA Welterweight World Championship is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Corona and AT&T with Banks vs. Mitchell being presented in association with K2 Promotions. The SHOWTIME Championship Boxing telecast begins at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast). SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING^® is available in Spanish on secondary audio programming (SAP). Preliminary fights will air on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).

"This fight was the main motivation for winning my second world championship last year," said Malignaggi. "I wanted be in a huge main event at Barclays Center. This is a blockbuster event and I can't wait to make a successful title defense in Brooklyn where my roots are."

"Paulette better be in some shape," said Broner. "On June 22, I will be a three-time world champion in three weight classes at just 23-years-old."

"I feel very good about this fight," said Banks. "I expect a more determined and a more powerful Seth Mitchell for the rematch and I look forward to the challenge on June 22nd. I'm excited to be fighting and intend to put on a terrific performance for those in attendance at Barclays Center as well as those watching on SHOWTIME."

"I'm excited about my opportunity to rematch Johnathon Banks on June 22 at Barclays Center," said Mitchell. "I was disappointed with my last performance against him and look forward to meeting him in the ring once again. My team has been working extremely hard in preparation for this fight. I'm confident that my performance on June 22nd will properly showcase my abilities and will reignite talks of me competing for the heavyweight championship of the world."

"Once again, we're looking forward to bringing a blockbuster fight to Brooklyn at Barclays Center," said Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. "Paulie Malignaggi is the type of fighter that is not going to let anyone take his belt from him on his home turf, but he has his work cut out for him against one of the most talented fighters in the sport in undefeated rising superstar Adrien 'The Problem' Broner. Add in the rematch between Johnathon Banks and Seth Mitchell and it's safe to say that the fireworks will be flying a few weeks before the Fourth of July."

"All of us at the network are thrilled to have Adrien in his SHOWTIME debut, especially in a tough fight against the very smart and crafty world champion Paulie Malignaggi," said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. "When this fight first came available, I jumped at the chance to have it on SHOWTIME. This fight was one of the most talked about match ups of the year before it was even announced."

"We are proud to host Brooklyn's own Paulie Malignaggi for his second fight at Barclays Center," said Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Nets. "Paulie is a true pro at captivating audiences with his quick boxing skills, flashy style and invigorating personality. He is Brooklyn. While Paulie will certainly be the crowd favorite, we expect Adrien Broner to give him a great fight in what is sure to be another memorable night of championship boxing at Barclays Center."

"All of us at the network are thrilled to have Adrien Broner in his SHOWTIME debut, especially in a tough fight against the very smart and crafty world champion Paulie Malignaggi," said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. "When this fight first came available, I jumped at the chance to have it on SHOWTIME. This fight was one of the most talked about match ups of the year before it was even announced."

One of Brooklyn's favorite fighting sons, Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KO's) is a two-division world champion known for his lighting fast hands and even faster mouth. He first made his mark in the 140-pound weight class when he defeated Lovemore N'dou in 2007 for the IBF crown. In 2010, Malignaggi made the move up to welterweight and in April 2012 he captured the WBA welterweight title, traveling to the Ukraine to stop Vyacheslav Senchenko in his hometown. He has defended his belt once thus far, decisioning Pablo Cesar Cano at Barclays Center last October. Also well known for his role as color commentator on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, the 32-year-old who has faced the likes of Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Amir Khan and Juan Diaz, will look to stop the rise of Adrien Broner a few miles from his home in Brooklyn.

At 23 years old, Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KO's) has captivated the boxing world with his work inside the ring and flashy charisma outside of it. Unbeaten as a pro, with a skill set that allows him to box or bang, and possessing a warrior's attitude and heart, Broner won the WBO junior lightweight title in 2011 with a third round knockout of Vicente Martin Rodriguez. After knockouts of Eloy Perez and Vicente Escobedo, he moved up to 135 pounds, winning the WBC title with a thoroughly dominating eighth round technical knockout of Antonio DeMarco last November. Most recently, Broner stopped Gavin Rees in five rounds in February, and on June 22, he will make the leap from 135 to 147 pounds to challenge "The Magic Man." Should he win, he will join Roberto Duran, Roy Jones Jr. and Robert Guerrero as the only fighters to win a world championship in their first fight after jumping a weight class.

The owner of one of boxing's most inspirational stories, Johnathon Banks (29-1-1, 19 KO's) captured the hearts of fight fans last fall. Shortly after the death of his mentor and trainer, Emanuel Steward, Banks took over for the legendary Hall of Famer as the trainer of Heavyweight World Champion Wladimir Klitschko in his title defense win over Mariusz Wach in November. A week later, the 30-year-old from Detroit stepped into the ring himself, and stunned the boxing world with his second round technical knockout win over Mitchell. On June 22, he'll look to do it again.

Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell (25-1-1, 19 KO's) is eager for the opportunity to avenge his only pro loss when he faces Banks at the end of June. A former standout Michigan State University linebacker, Mitchell tore through his opposition in the boxing ring for over four years, most notably beating Taurus Sykes, Timur Ibragimov, and Chazz Witherspoon, all by knockout. Now he'll have to show the resilience of a champion as he attempts to even the score on June 22.

A full undercard will be announced shortly.

DANNY GARCIA, WBA Super, WBC and Ring Magazine Super Lightweight World Champion

On how he feels going into the fight: "I feel great and 100 percent ready. I'm motivated, hungry and sharp. I'm focused and I'm ready to go in there on April 27 and put on a tremendous show.

"I don't need negativity to motivate me. I'm a positive person. Negativity doesn't motivate me. I'm motivated by positive things'

On fighting at Barclays Center: "I'm ready to take over Brooklyn.

On Philly fans coming to the fight: "I guarantee I have more fans than Zab has coming to the fight.

On training camp: "My training camp was perfect. I think it was the best training camp I've ever had. Everything was on point...sparring, running, training, conditioning. Everything went perfect."

PETER QUILLIN, WBO Middleweight World Champion

On being a middleweight: "I'm just very blessed to be able to be part of a division that is always an attractive weight class. The middleweights, you've got the speed and then you have the power. It's like 50/50. It's an action-packed weight class. I just want to make sure that when I go out there, I'm adding my own part of history to that.

On how Guerrero stacks up to other opponents he's faced: "Guerrero deserves a shot at the belt. It's something he worked for all his life, just like I did. Nobody's going to come here and beat me. I already know I can put in a hard 12 rounds. This time, I got the best that money can buy. I got the best trainers and the best camp. This has by far been the best camp in my whole professional career. I know I'm well prepared and I'm ready. I'm keeping this belt in New York City.

On fighting Guerrero: "For the opportunity that he got, it's something that he's got to take in and know that it's right there in front on him. If he's not prepared fighting a guy like me, it's going to show right away. We can be friends outside of the ring, but as soon as we step in the ring, no more friendship.

On the biggest challenger to his title: "I welcome all challengers, but I know there isn't a middleweight like me. I'm the best in the world. I look in the mirror and see myself and say, 'even he can't beat me.' I know what I'm doing outside of the ring is helping me to be a better fighter in the ring. That being said, let them all come."

FERNANDO GUERRERO, Hard-Hitting, World-Ranked Contender

On the delay of the fight: "You've got to be ready for everything in the boxing world. We're so used to it, dating to even in the amateurs. Until you're in the ring, the fight might not happen, and even when you're in the ring, the opponent might not show up. For me it's just that experience. You live it and you make the best out of it, and I surely do.

On what he'll bring to the ring to get a win: "Explosion. We've got to bring that smart, we've got to bring that power and we've got to bring that hunger. It's better shown in the ring. I'm not just excited for the fight. I want people to know what I can do.

On how many fans he's expecting at Barclays Center: "When I packed the house in Maryland (for a fight against Derrick Findley in Salisbury), I expected one person to be there, my father, but thousands were there. (This fight) I'm expecting maybe two people. We'll see how many people come and show up.

On acting like a gentleman at press events: "I can only be me. If I feel the need to cuss, I'll probably do it, if I feel the need to not cuss, I probably won't do it. I don't try to sell fights. The fights should be able to sell themselves. I try to sell myself as the person that I am.

On how this is different than his other fights: "I'm expecting a lot out of myself. I'm going to try and push myself harder, mentally and physically. I want to impress myself, I want to develop."

ZACHARY OCHOA, Undefeated Brooklyn Light Heavyweight

On his fight prediction: "My prediction is, I box my way to a knock out.

"I want to say thank you to Golden Boy Promotions and SHOWTIME for giving me the opportunity to fight on this card. It's great for me to show my talent and show the world what I'm working with."
