ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Denne kampen betyr alt for meg. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
“I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
“There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
“I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
“In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
“I’m just excited to fight. Jeg liker å slåss. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
“A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
“If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
“I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
“I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
“Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
“When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.”
ROBERT PÅSKE
“I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
“I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
“Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
“I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
“Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.”
JAVIER FORTUNA
“I have no excuses on Januar 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
“I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
“I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
“I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
“Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
“A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence Trainer
“I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
“I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
“I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
“There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
“Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.”
LOU DiBella, President i DiBella Entertainment
“This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout på lørdag natt på Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
“Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
“Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
“This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Konserndirektør & General Manager, Showtime Sports
“In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
“You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring på lørdag.
“This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 gutta. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
“Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 gutta. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
“I’m really excited about Lørdag natt. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
“I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
“We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues på lørdag night at Barclays Center.”

Fredrickson: 141 pounds

 

SLUTT SITATER:

 

 

Claressa Shields:

 

 

“Tori brings a lot more aggression, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. På papiret, she has the best resume of any opponent I’ve faced and can put up a better fight.

 

 

 

“Everybody underestimates me because of my size. My frame looks like I’m a 140 but really I’m a 168. Everyone goes into a fight thinking they can win, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

“I expect my opponent to apply pressure, and to use some dirty tactics. She has more experience, but not that much when you speak of her amateur experience.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

“This has been a hard camp, I really pushed myself. I usually do six weeks, this time I did eight weeks. I hadn’t fought since August so I wanted to give myself an extra two weeks so I knew I was in perfect shape.

 

 

 

“There’s no doubt that I start the year with a win, but I see this as a competitive fight. I’m going to have to earn the win but I believe I can KO her by the sixth, seventh round.”

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

“I know I’m the underdog, but I’ve dropped nine people. She hasn’t scored one knockdown yet as a pro. When Claressa turned pro, I knew I’d have to face her eventually.

 

 

 

“A win is what I came for. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, but other female boxers coming up after me.

 

 

 

“I feel it’s more entertaining to watch a female fight. When women get dropped, they get right back up and go after it again. When men get knocked down, they start hiding because they don’t want to get hit again. So I think we should get paid just as much as the men.

 

 

 

“I’m blessed to be here, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, but I’m going to shock the world.

 

 

 

“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.

 

 

 

“They’re not going to give me anything. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

“I’m just trying to get closer to a title fight. Moving up the rankings is the main goal right now, and I’m on the right path. A win here in a 10-round fight would be huge for my career.

 

 

 

“Being an all-around fighter is something I’m working on. But you can’t become a well-rounded fighter until you get the experience and the fights and that’s what I’m working on doing right now. I want to get more rounds in and progress.

 

 

 

“Fighting a southpaw is not a problem for me. I can switch my stance, but it’s not something I think about or plan. It just happens naturally in a fight.

 

 

 

“I’ve always believed in myself, even when I took time off. I believed that I could get back into it and get to a top level. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, but it showed others I belong and that I can compete at the top level.”

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

“I like to bring the pressure, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, getting him tired in the latter rounds, and taking him out.

 

 

 

“He tends to switch, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (against undefeated Jon Fernandez) I was fighting a much higher weight.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV:

 

 

“I love training here because of the fact that it’s a different atmosphere here in the States. It’s a real professional setup, I feel that my skills and my technique have gotten a lot better training here with Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

“I know that he is an experienced fighter. He’s undefeated and he’s coming to fight. It’s a big opportunity for both of us.

 

 

 

“I’m very honored to be on SHOWTIME and happy to be getting this kind of national exposure. A win would cement me as one of the best junior welterweight prospects in the world.

 

 

 

“I’ve gotten a lot better training at the Kronk Boxing Gym in Detroit. Last training camp was an introduction to the American style of boxing and this camp really improved my technique and tactics with the intense sparring.

 

 

 

"Jeg er 11-0 med 11 knockouts. I’m a puncher and I want to knock him out, but I’ve trained for the distance. I’ve trained to knock somebody out in the first round and the eighth round.

 

 

 

“This is a big step-up in opposition, but I’ve had over 200 amateur fights against some of the best amateur boxers in the world. I’ve beaten Olympic medalists and very accomplished amateur fighters.”

 

 

 

SONNY FREDRICKSON

 

 

“I’ve been waiting for this exposure for a long time. I’ve been trying to get on TV for the last two or three years, so this is a huge deal for me. Hopefully a win bumps me up into the top 5 and gives me a title shot at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

 

 

 

“We spar a lot with Robert (Påske). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. I give him some pointers here and there and he does the same for me.

 

 

 

“I don’t know too much about my opponent. I know he’s a lefty and he has a strong punch. He’s a good match for me. He wants to keep coming forward and land big shots so I’ll be able to outbox him pretty easily.

 

 

 

“I don’t think nerves will be factor. I’ve fought on Andre Ward’s card, I’ve been in big fights before.

 

 

 

“I’m going to knock him out after the third round. I’m going to say, hei, get him out of here.

 

 

 

“After this fight, fans will start learning my name. I think they’ll want to see me have a shot at the 140 pound title.”

Also in attendance at the workout was Peterson’s brother, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, who competes in undercard action on the Januar 20 begivenhet.
Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday:
LAMONT PETERSON
“Jeg føler stor. I’m already close to weight. I’m happy and eating up to five times a day. I feel strong and I’m ready for this fight.
“I have to look at this as really just another big fight. When you’re at the top, you try not to make too much of each fight. We know what’s at stake. I know that when I keep it simple, that’s when I perform best.
“Right now my body feels better than ever. I’m comfortable with everything that’s gone on in camp and I think you can see it in my body.
“I’ve always trained hard since the first day I came here as a child. That’s been instilled in me since a young age and it’s carried me throughout my career.
“Everything I do is for D.C. I’m trying to get as much recognition for this area the best way I can. That’s what we all strive for in this gym. This is the biggest one that’s been on the schedule for a while and I’m ready to bring it home.
“It gets easier and easier the more championship fights I’m in. I was in shape for all of them, but I definitely put more pressure on myself when I was young. I’ve improved each time and now I feel like I’m really at the perfect place in my career.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“I have to make a statement. I never feel comfortable with a decision. I think that’s a good thing because I have to be special under the bright lights.
“Everyone knows I like to go to the body. You know I’m going to make him work so you can look out for me to break my opponent down on the Januar 20.
“I’ve been sparring with a variety of experienced fighters over the last year and they’ve helped me out even while I haven’t had a fight. Ring rust is all mental. It’s up to you to put the work in.
“I haven’t gotten the fights that I want, but I’ll always stick to my game and stick to my craft. I know if I persevere, things will work out for me.
“I know that I love this sport. I know that eventually I will be a world champion. I believe in my future and I’m looking forward to big fights.
“It’s inspiring to watch Lamont do his thing and succeed. He’s going to beat Errol Spence, even if people don’t believe it. I think he’s going to take care of business.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“It’s been a long grind in camp for these guys. When I think back on how long we’ve been on this journey, I’m very proud of them. They were 9 og 10 when they first came into the gym.
“We don’t have the weight monster to deal with fighting at welterweight. Lamont is in a great place mentally and physically. I’m looking forward to an explosive fight.
“When you look at the Spence-Brook fight, early on Brook had a lot of success. Down the stretch Errol imposed his will and broke Brook down. I know Errol well and I’ve coached him. He has a strong will. He’s not great in one area, but he’s good in a lot of areas. This is a different kind of guy he’s facing. Heart is something Lamont is nowhere near short on. I think this might start off tactical, and then turn into a war.
“My job is to go in there with part of a plan, but it’s always about adjustments for us. Whatever Errol brings to the table, we’ll figure it out and put everything in motion.
“This last week is a lot of game plan and mental preparation work. A lot of fighters don’t train the mind. You have to train the mind even more so than the body. We have to be ready for every scenario.
“I think if Anthony goes in there and does his job there are a few vacant titles at 140-pounds and that’s a track for us. We want to get a strap around his waist and we’ll face anyone to get it.
“Lamont, along with Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd and Gervonta Davis, have been holding down boxing in this area for a long time. It would be huge to bring this title home. There are a lot of young Lamont Petersons in this area who want to reach this level. It would be a beacon of light shining down and showing these people the way.”

ET / 5 p.m. PT.
In the co-main event unbeaten contender Caleb “Søte Hands” Plant vil kjempe Rogelio “Porky” Medina in a 12-round 168-pound world title eliminator.
Billetter til dette arrangementet, som er fremmet av TGB Kampanjer, er priset til $200, $100, $60, $40, $25 and will go on sale Fredag. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.
Også på kortet, Tony Harrison (25-2, 20 KOs) tar på Jorge Cota (27-2, 24 KOs) in a super welterweight showdown and Karlos Balderas plassholderbilde, en 2016 US-. Olympian, will appear in a lightweight special attraction.
“This is a classic crossroads match in the truest sense. Both Devon Alexander and Victor Ortiz are battle-tested in one of the toughest, deepest divisions in boxing,” sa Tom Brown, President av TGB Kampanjer. “Alexander has overcome some serious health issues and is looking to regain the welterweight championship. Ortiz, also a former champion, has always come to fight and doesn’t back down from anyone. It promises to be an entertaining match for the fans in attendance at Don Haskins Center and those who tune in on FOX and FOX Deportes.”
Ortiz (32-6-2, 25 KOs), a former 147-pound champion, has split time between boxing and acting throughout his recent career and brings a certain flare every time he steps into the ring. The 30-year-old native of Garden City, Kansas who now lives in Ventura, California, has faced some of the top names in the 147-pound division during his career. Ortiz won the welterweight title with unanimous decision victory over Andre Berto on April 16, 2011. Five months later he lost the title to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. etter knockout. Ortiz, 30, suffered a knockout loss to Andre Berto in 2016 on FOX and bounced back with a knockout victory over Saul Corral in his last fight on Juli 30 on FS1.
“I’m ready to give all I have to defeat Devon Alexander and get my crown back,” Said Ortiz. “My priority is to make a strong comeback and putting myself in a position to have my straps once again. I demonstrated what I was made of and did what I said I was going to do in my last fight. I’m facing a great fighter in Devon Alexander and someone I’ve known since we were kids. I don’t hate him, but I will not be his friend on fight night and he won’t be mine. I’m ready to prove everyone wrong starting on Februar. 17.”
Alexander (27-4, 14 KOs) emerged on the scene with a unanimous decision victory over Randall Bailey for the welterweight title in 2012. He defended the title once before losing it to Shawn Porter in 2013. Siden da, the 30-year-old Alexander of St. Louis, Missouri has been on a mission to regain the title. After losing to Amir Khan and Aaron Martinez, Alexander suffered another setback when he sought treatment for an addiction to painkillers. Fully healthy for the first time i tre år, Alexander returned to the ring with a unanimous decision victory over Walter Castillo on FS1 on November. 21.
“I’m excited to get back in there against a fighter like Victor Ortiz,” sa Alexander. “We’ve known each other a long time but never fought in the amateurs, so this should be interesting. My speed, quickness and smarts will win me this fight. Victor checks out sometimes when he can’t hit you, so my skills will be the difference. I’m ready for any challenge that’s brought my way. When I’m 100 prosent, nobody can beat me.”
Plant (16-0, 10 KOs) won eight of his first nine fights by knockout, demonstrating power in both hands to go along with his boxing abilities. The 25-year-old climbed into the top ten of the 168-pound rankings with his last victory – a unanimous decision over Andrew Hernandez in Las Vegas on Sju. 8. Medina represents a major step up for Plant and will give him an indication of just where the Ashland, Tennessee native stands in the division as he looks to become a mandatory challenger for the IBF title.
The 29-year-old Medina (38-8, 32 KOs) has squared off against some of the toughest boxers in the division, including current champion David Benavidez and former champions James DeGale and Badou Jack. Fighting out of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico lost by knockout to Benavidez on Mai 20, and bounced back with a knockout victory over Daniel Eduardo Yocupicio on Sju. 1.
The FOX prime time broadcast will kick off a full night of boxing, leading into a doubleheader on SHOWTIME that features two-division world champion Danny Garcia versus Brandon Rios and 168-pound champion David Benavidez defending his title in a rematch against Ronald Gavril from Las Vegas.

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si om sitt januar 20 dueller og mer:
ROBERT PÅSKE (20-0, 14 KOs) – Making tredje forsvar av IBF Lett Verden tittel
“Denne kampen kan definitivt sette en god tone for meg i 2018. Jeg kommer til å være å lage en uttalelse med denne kampen. Mine tre siste kamper har jeg ikke fått en knockout. Jeg kommer til å være å gi mine fans og kjempe fans et bra show.
“Jeg kommer til å bruke min rekkevidde og lengde og ødelegge denne fyren fra utsiden. All min karriere jeg har slåss kortere gutta. Hvert kort fyr ikke kjempe på samme. Men du får i ringen og du føler ham ut og foreta justeringer.
“Det er ikke noe spesielt som jeg må forberede seg med Fortuna. Jeg tar hver kamp samme. Hver fighter kamper forskjellig så du får der, føler ham ut og foreta justeringer mens du går. Jeg er ikke bekymret for ham å være en southpaw. Jeg har møtt mange lefties i min karriere og amatører. Det er ingen problemer i det hele tatt.
“Jeg tror det som gjør meg mer farlig bokseren i denne kampen er å ha den høyden som jeg gjør og slagkraft og hastighet og tankesett samt. Min tenkemåte er at jeg ikke kommer inn der for å leke seg med ham. Jeg er klar til å ødelegge.
“Mine mål for 2018 er å fange opp flere titler, og for å få gjenforeningen bouts. Vi hadde noen vinnere i vektklassen, men det ser ut til at ingen er villig til å kjempe mot andre vinnere. Vi er villig til å gjøre hva det tar, bekjempe den som har titlene. Vi er villig til å fange opp alle disse titlene når de andre gutta er villige til å melde seg på kampene.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KOs) – Tidligere super fjærvekt verdensmester
“Min forberedelse til denne kampen går veldig bra. Jeg har jobbet ut i Den dominikanske republikk, men jeg har kommet tilbake til Boston for å fullføre min trening. Akkurat nå er vi på 75% og nærmer seg 100%. Jeg vil være helt forberedt når det er på tide å slåss. Min forberedelse og min strategi gjør meg mer farlig fyr.
“Jeg ser dette som ingen andre kamp som jeg har hatt før, fordi hver motstander er forskjellige. Alle har sin egen nisje på dette nivået, noe som fungerer for dem. Hans nisje er at han er høy. Han bruker det til sin fordel. Men det er ingenting som jeg ikke kan overvinne. Jeg har kjempet høye gutta før.
“Jeg foretrekker mine motstandere for å være høyere. Det spiller inn i hva jeg er i stand til å gjøre. Jeg har aldri hatt et problem med høyere motstandere. Abner Cotto (5-10) er en av høye gutta som jeg kjempet. Jeg kjempet i Chicago og sette på en stor ytelse. (Fortuna scoret 5th runde KO mot Cotto)
“Mitt mål for 2018 er å bekjempe alle de beste elite jagerfly i min vektklasse, og jeg prøver å bli nevnt som en av de beste i idretten. Jeg ønsker virkelig å vinne en VM-tittel i en annen vektklasse. Det ville være den største øyeblikk så langt i min karriere å få en annen verden tittel.”
Marcus Browne (20-0, 15 KOs) – Topp 10 rangert på 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Min motstander (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KOs) ser ut som en holdbar, tøffing. Jeg ser denne kampen blir veldig spennende for fansen så lenge det varer. Jeg så en liten bit av tape på ham. Jeg vet at han alltid kommer i toppform, og jeg hører han er konsekvent i sin opptreden i ringen. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Det er alltid en ære å kjempe her hjemme og på Barclays Center. Det er spesielt å være i stand til å utføre foran disse fans, og jeg kan ikke vente med å sette på en god prestasjon som fører opp til Spence vs. Peterson kampen.
“Denne kampen kunne sette meg i den posisjonen at jeg trenger å være i for å kjempe for en verden tittel. Jeg kan ikke mangle på noen måte. Jeg må komme ut sterkt med stor ytelse fra start til slutt og etterlater ingen tvil i det.
“For 2018, Jeg ønsker å bli en verdensmester. Jeg er fast bestemt på tomake det skje i år. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KOs) – Kjempet David Benavidez på Barclays Center i juni 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Jeg håper det er tilfelle, fordi det kommer til å være et sjokk for ham, fansen og teamet hans når jeg tar hans plass i kø for en tittel. Jeg ønsker å møte Eleider Alvarez i vår hjemby Montreal etter at jeg får denne seieren.
“Min forrige kamp på Barclays Center mot strømmen WBC-mester David Benavidez var tydeligvis en svært dårlig avgjørelse av dommeren å stoppe kampen, spesielt når jeg var å vinne runden og Benavidez var sakker. Jeg begynte å bli sterkere mens han stadig svakere.
“Jeg har aldri vært skadet og aldri blitt droppet i en kamp. Jeg ønsker Marcus å utfordre seg selv og se om han kan gjøre noe ingen andre har. Jeg gleder meg til å være i en kamp i denne størrelsesorden. Marcus, det er på tide for oss å gi fansen det de vil ha!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KOs) – Opprinnelig fra Polen & bekjempelse av Brooklyn
“Denne kampen kommer til å bli enda et steg mot å bli en mester. Jeg vet at jeg kommer til å jobbe veldig hardt og bevise at jeg fortsetter å bygge på min seier mot Szpilka. Fra videoen jeg har sett på Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOs), han beveger seg mye, så jeg skal være behov for å kutte av ringen. Uansett hva han bringer til ringen, Jeg vil ha et svar for.
“Tre år på rad nå har jeg kjempet i januar. Jeg elsker start av året sterk. Min kone og jeg faktisk startet en tradisjon av “Kownacki Family Run” ved midnatt on New Year’s Eve. Siden jeg alltid forbereder seg til en kamp rundt nyttårs, vi tenkte vi kan like godt ha det gøy mens vi jobber. Så, vi har noen venner komme ut og kjøre noen få miles med oss ​​rundt i nabolaget i løpet av fyrverkeri. Det er morsomt og bidrar til å få meg klar.
“Til syvende og sist, Jeg ønsker å bli den beste i tungvekt divisjon. Det endelige målet for dette året er å bli verdensmester. Men den aller første skritt er å ta Iago Kiladze svært alvorlig. I can’t look past Januar 20 akkurat nå. Jeg har en tøff motstander som vil utfordre og gjøre meg til en bedre fighter i det lange løp.”
Iago Kiladze, Tredje kamp siden flytte opp til tungvekt divisjon (2-0, 2 KOs)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Min trener er Freddie Roach nå. Jeg sparred med (IBF Cruiservekt Champion) Murat Gassiev tre ganger nylig som er en fin forberedelse til meg. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Uansett, Jeg vil seire. Jeg føler at jeg er mer dyktig fighter og som vil vise i ringen.
“Dette er en stor kamp for min karriere og en veldig bra start for 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Mitt mål er å bli verdensmester på slutten av 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”
