Also in attendance at the workout was Peterson’s brother, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, who competes in undercard action on the January 20 takahanga.
Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday:
Lamont Peterson
“Ite ahau nui. 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 January 20.
“Kua kua ahau mākutu ki te momo o whawhai mātanga i runga i te tau whakamutunga, me kua awhinatia ahau e ratou i roto i ara i kore i ahau i te whawhai. he hinengaro katoa Ring waikura. Ko te ki runga ki a koe ki te hoatu i te mahi i roto i.
“kihai i whiwhi ahau i nga whawhai e hiahia ana ahau, engari ka piri tonu ahau ki toku kēmu me piri ki toku mahi. E matau ana ahau ki te kītaki ahau, ka mahi mea i roto hoki ahau.
“e mohio ana ahau e aroha ana ahau i tenei takaro. e mohio ana ahau e pae hopea ka waiho e ahau hei toa ao. whakapono ahau i roto i toku heke mai me te rapu atu ahau ki whawhai nui.
“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, A Peterson 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.
“Taku mahi, ko te ki te haere i roto i reira ki te wahi o te mahere, engari te reira tonu e pā ana ki whakatikatika mo tatou. Ko nga mea katoa Errol hopoi mai ki te tepu, ka feruri tatou i te reira i roto i, me te hoatu mea katoa i roto i te nekehanga.
“Tenei wiki whakamutunga ko te rota o te mahere kēmu, me te mahi faaineineraa hinengaro. He rota o whawhai kore e ako'i te hinengaro. E koe ki te whakangungu i te ngakau noa atu pera atu i te tinana. E tatou ki te kia takatu ki nga tauira e.
“whakaaro ahau ki te haere Anthony i reira, me te e tona mahi i reira he he torutoru taitara wātea i 140-pauna, me e te he ara mo tatou. 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.”

Victory Sports & Entertainment’s Sonny “Boy ātaahua” Fredrickson Ready to Shine in ShoBox: The New GenerationDebut, This Friday at 10 p.m. ET/PT Live on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino

Waiho he tākupu

 
No te Tonu Tuku

New York, New York (January 10, 2018) — Victory Sports & Entertainment’s highly-touted Junior Welterweight fighter Sonny “Boy ātaahua” Fredrickson (18-0,12 Koó) is slated to make his SHOWTIME debut on Rāmere, January 12 when he faces off against Shohjahon Ergashev in the telecast opener of ShoBox: Ko te Generation New i runga i Rāmere, Jan. 12 ora i runga i SHOWTIME (10 p.m. AND/PT) i te tahuri Stone Resort Casino i Verona, N.Y..
Fredrickson will square off against the Uzbekistani Ergashev (11-0, 11 Koó) in a telecast headlined by two-time Olympian Gold Medalist Claressa Shields (4-0, 2 KO o) as she defends her WBC and IBF Middleweight World Titles against Tori Nelson (17-0-3, 2 KO o).
Fredrickson, a te WBA No. 8 ranked fighter at 140 pauna, will take on power-puncher Ergashev in the former’s first fight since claiming the WBA Fedebol Super Lightweight title on Nov. 1, 2017 in Medellin, Colombia. The highly anticipated fight is part of a tripleheader event promoted by Salita Promotions. And while Ergashev is with Salita Promotions, there is no doubt who the “A-Side” of this fight is as the fast rising Fredrickson looks to solidify his position as one of the top contenders at Junior Welterweight and make himself a television regular.
“I am excited to make my ShoBox tuatahi, and look forward to putting on a good show for the fans at Turning Stone and everyone watching on TV, especially all my family and fans back in Toledo, Ohio” Fredrickson said. “I know Ergashev is tough and he will be coming to fight, but I’ve trained very hard. I had a great camp and I am looking to make a statement. I’m very appreciative of SHOWTIME for this platform.” I had a number of television opportunities fall through because fighters pulled out so I’m happy my time has finally come. Te tūmanako, Ergashev doesn’t get hurt before Rāmere, but once the fight starts I can’t promise anything.”
Rick Torres, Peresideni o Victory Hākinakina, feels that this fight will give Fredrickson exposure to a wider audience that may not be familiar with him.
“We feel Sonny is one of the best kept secrets in all of boxing and we’re excited that the rest of the world will get to see what we already know – that Sonny Fredrickson is the future of the 140-pound division,” Torres said. “Sonny has not gotten the TV exposure of other fighters, but we know that, given the chance, he will not disappoint. We are very grateful to SHOWTIME and Gordon Hall for making this happen and for the support of Sonny’s promoter Roc Nation Sports.”
Mike Leanardi, COO of Victory Sports, sees an opportunity for Fredrickson to follow in the footsteps of another Victory Sports fighter that started on ShoBox.
“ShoBox is the premier platform today for showcasing and developing young fighters,”Leanardi said. “We’ve seen the impact ShoBox can have firsthand with [former Super Middleweight and Former Light Heavyweight World Champion] Badou Jack. We’re confident that Sonny can achieve great success as well.”
