ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Tento boj znamená, že všetko, čo pre mňa. 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. Rád bojovať. 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 VEĽKONOČNÉ
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 Január 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.
“Pripravil som sa veľmi dobre. 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, Peterson sa 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, Prezident 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 v sobotu noc v 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, Executive Vice President & Generálny riaditeľ, 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 v sobotu.
This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 chlapi. 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 chlapi. 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 & Zábava
I’m really excited about Sobota noc. 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 v sobotu night at Barclays Center.

Záverečná quotes:

 

 

CLARESSA ŠTÍTY:

 

 

“Tori brings a lot more aggression, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Na papieri, 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.

 

 

 

"Ja som 11-0 s 11 priechodky. 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 (Veľká noc). 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, hej, 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.”

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING begins at 9 p.m. A/6 p.m. PT a funkcia ľahký majster sveta Robert Veľká noc bojuje bývalý majster Javier Fortuna.
Vstupenky na koncerte, ktorý je podporovaný DiBella Entertainment a TGB Promotions, sú ceny počnúc $50, a sú už v predaji.

Also in attendance at the workout was Peterson’s brother, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, who competes in undercard action on the Január 20 udalosť.
Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday:
Lamont PETERSON
“Cítim sa skvele. 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 Január 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, Peterson sa 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 a 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.

I’ve been counted out many times in this sport. I’m not going to take any shortcuts in training, I’m just going to keep listening to what my coach wants me to do so I can be at my best.
Being on this stage is very significant for me. Thankfully I have people who don’t stop believing in me. I’ve seen both sides and been in the middle. At this point, the only place I’m focused on going is up. It’s all in front of me.
We have mutual respect for each other. He’s a tremendous fighter just like me. Everyone knows it will be two warriors stepping into the ring on Február 17. We’re going to go all out. I’m going for a victory just like him.

Tu je to, čo bojovníci musel povedať o svojej januára 20 matchups a ďalšie:
ROBERT VEĽKONOČNÉ (20-0, 14 KO) – Tvorba tretej obranu IBF Lightweight svetový titul
“Tento boj môže určite dať dobrý tón pre mňa 2018. Chystám sa bude robiť vyhlásenie s týmto bojom. Moje posledné tri zápasy som nedostal knockout. Ja budem dávať svojich fanúšikov a bojovať proti fanúšikom dobrú show.
“Budem používať svoj dosah a dĺžku a zničiť toho chlapa z vonka. Všetky mojej kariéry som bojoval kratšie chlapci. Každý krátky chlap nebojuje to isté. Ale dostanete do ringu a vy ho cítiť sa a vykonať úpravy.
“Nie je nič, čo najmä, že musím pripraviť s Fortuna. Beriem každý bojovať rovnaké. Každý bojovník bojuje iný, takže sa tam dostať, cítiť ho a vykonať úpravy za pochodu. Nebojím sa o ňom, že je ľavák. Som čelil veľa ľavičiarov v mojej kariére a amatérov. To vôbec žiadne problémy.
“Myslím, že to, čo ma o to nebezpečnejší boxer v tomto boji má výšku, že ja a dierovanie silu, rýchlosť a spôsob myslenia, ako. Moja myslenie je, že nebudem tam hrať sa s ním. Som pripravený zničiť.
“Moje ciele pre 2018 majú zachytiť viac titulov a získať zjednocujúcich záchvaty. Mali sme niekoľko šampiónov v hmotnostnej triede, ale zdá sa, že nikto nie je ochotný bojovať s ostatnými preborníkmi. Sme ochotní urobiť čokoľvek,, bojovať, kto má tituly. Sme ochotní zachytiť všetky tie tituly, keď sú ostatní chlapci chcú prihlásiť do bojov.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KO) – Bývalý Super mušia majstrom sveta
“Moja príprava na tento boj bude veľmi dobre. Pracoval som v Dominikánskej republike, ale ja som sa vrátil do Bostonu, aby dokončil svoj tréning. Práve teraz sme v 75% a blíži k 100%. Aj bude kompletne pripravený, keď je čas k boju. Moja príprava a moja stratégia, aby som o to nebezpečnejšie chlap.
“Vidím to ako žiadny iný boj, ktorý som mal pred, pretože každý súper je odlišná. Každý má svoju vlastnú pozíciu na tejto úrovni, niečo, čo pracuje pre nich. Jeho nika je, že je vysoký. On používa, ktoré ku svojmu prospechu. Ale nie je to nič, čo nemôžem prekonať. Bojoval som vysoké chlapíkmi predtým.
“Radšej svojich súperov byť vyššia. To hrá do toho, čo som schopný urobiť. Nikdy som nemal problém s vyššími oponentmi. Abner Cotto (5-10) je jednou z vysokých chalanov, ktoré som bojovali. Bojoval som v Chicagu a dať na skvelý výkon. (Fortuna skóroval 5th kolo KO proti Cotto)
“Môj cieľ pre 2018 je bojovať proti všetkým top elitnej bojovníkmi v mojej váhovej, a ja sa snažím, aby sa stal spomínaný ako jeden z najlepších v športe. Naozaj chcem vyhrať ďalší titul majstra sveta v inej váhovej kategórii. To by bol najväčší moment tak ďaleko mojej kariéry získať ďalší titul majstra sveta.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KO) – Top 10 zaradila na 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Môj súper (francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KO) vyzerá ako trvanlivý, drsňák. Vidím, že tento boj je veľmi vzrušujúce pre fanúšikov, ako dlho to trvá. Videl som trochu pásku na neho. Viem, že vždy prichádza v tip-top stave, a ja som počul, že je konzistentné vo svojom vystúpení v ringu. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Január. 20.
“Je mi vždy cťou bojovať tu doma a Barclays Center. Je to zvláštne, aby bolo možné vykonať pred týmito fanúšikmi a ja sa nemôžem dočkať, až dať na dobrý výkon vedúce k Spence vs. Peterson boj.
“Tento boj mi mohol dať do polohy, že musím byť v bojovať o svetový titul. Nemôžem chýbať v žiadnom prípade. Musím prísť silný s veľkým výkonom od začiatku do konca a nenechávajú nikoho na pochybách tam.
“Pre 2018, Chcem, aby sa stal majstrom sveta. Som rozhodnutý tomake sa to stalo v tomto roku. That vision starts on Január. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.
francy NTETU (17-1, 4 KO) – Bojoval David Benavidez v Barclays Center v júni 2015
I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Dúfam, že je to tento prípad, pretože to bude byť šok pre neho, fanúšikovia a jeho tím, keď som si vzal miesto v rade na titule. Chcem čeliť Eleider Alvarez v našom rodnom Montreale po tom, čo som si to víťazstvo.
“Môj predchádzajúci boj v Barclays Center proti prúdu WBC šampión David Benavidez bol samozrejme veľmi zlé rozhodnutie rozhodcu zastaviť boj, zvlášť keď som vyhral koleso a Benavidez spomaľoval. Bol som silnejší, zatiaľ čo on bol slabne.
“Nikdy som nebol zranený a nikdy spadol v boji. Chcem Marcus napadnúť seba a uvidíme, či to môže robiť niečo, čo nikto iný. Som nadšený, že v boji o tejto veľkosti. Marcus, že je na čase, aby sme sa dať fanúšikom to, čo chcú!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KO) – Pôvodom z Poľska & bojuje z Brooklynu
“Tento boj bude ďalším krokom k stať sa šampiónom. Viem, že budem musieť tvrdo pracovať a dokázať, že som aj naďalej stavať na svoje víťazstvo proti SZPILKI. Z videa som videl na Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KO), sa pohybuje veľa, takže budem potrebovať odrezať prsteň. Či už sa dostávame k prstenci, Budem mať odpoveď.
“Tri roky po sebe teraz som bojoval v januári. Milujem rokom rozjazdu. Moja žena a ja som vlastne začal tradíciu “Kownacki Family Run” na polnoc on New Year’s Eve. Vzhľadom k tomu, Ja som vždy pripravujú na boj okolo Silvestra, sme prišli by sme mohli tiež pobaviť a zároveň pracujeme. Tak, budeme mať niektorí priatelia prísť a spustiť niekoľko míľ u nás po okolí počas ohňostroja. Je to zábavné a pomáha ma pripravený.
“Nakoniec, Pozerám sa, aby sa stal najlepším v ťažkej váhe divízie. Konečným cieľom pre tento rok je, aby sa stal majstrom sveta. Ale hneď prvý krok trvá Iago Kiladze veľmi vážne. I can’t look past Január 20 momentálne. Mám ťažký súper, ktorý bude napádať a aby mi lepšie bojovník v dlhodobom horizonte.”
Iago Kiladze, Tretí boj, pretože ťah až ťažkej váhe divízie (2-0, 2 KO)
I feel great and my training has been terrific. Môj tréner Freddie Roach teraz. zápasil som s (IBF Cruiserweight Champion) Murat Gassiev trikrát nedávno čo je skvelé pre mňa príprava. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Tak aj tak, budem víťazný. Som pocit, že som ešte skúsený bojovník a že sa objaví v ringu.
“Jedná sa o veľký boj pre moju kariéru a skvelý začiatok 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Mojím cieľom je, aby sa stal majstrom sveta na konci roka 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.
