Both fighters arrived at Turning Stone Resort Casino today and took some time to do a photo-op at the hotel and answer a few questions about their training camp.
Below is what they had to say:
How do you feel about the fight and when did you begin training?
Lucas Matthysse: I have been training non-stop, way before the fight was officially announced. I have been doing a lot of sparring to improve my speed and make sure I make as much contact with my opponent as possible.
Ruslan Provodnikov: I am excited and motivated for this fight, I will not disappoint my fans and it will be a real war! Everything is going great with my training and will be ready for a really war in the ring.
How are you preparing to face each other?
Matthysse: Ruslan is a great fighter, he comes prepared for a war. My strategy against him will be to make sure to box and keep moving, that is why sparring has been really important in my training.
Provodnikov: I will be ready for whatever Matthysse does. Ako 100% percent believe that this fight will be the fight of the year. I always give everything I can in training camp and I’m very responsible. Ako dili sa pagkuha sa bisan kinsa lightly, apan sa pagtubag sa imong mga pangutana: walking into the ring with a fighter that I know will fight back will definitely show that what I can do as a boxer than going up against a fighter who will just run.
What should fans expect to see on Abril 18?
Matthysse: Fans can expect one of the greatest fights in the division. I know I am ready to win this fight and fans should expect a victory.
Provodnikov: Ako mosaad nga kini mahimong ang away kamo guys tanan naghulat sa.
