維羅納,紐約 (四月 15) – Training camp is going smoothly for former WBC Light Weight Champion 盧卡斯 “香格里拉Maquina” Matthysse and Former WBO Jr. 次中量級冠軍 “西伯利亞洛基” 魯斯蘭Provodnikov as they continue to prepare for their showdown on 星期六, 四月 18 在旋石度假村賭場. The junior welterweight fight will be televised as part of a split site doubleheader live on HBO拳擊後Dark®, 在開始 9:45 P.M. AND/PT.
Matthysse has been training out his gym in Argentina and Provodinkov has been training out of the famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California under the watchful eye of International Boxing Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach.
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?
盧卡斯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.
魯斯蘭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. 我 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. 我不採取任何掉以輕心, but to answer your question: 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 四月 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: I promise this is going to be the fight you guys are all waiting for.
