Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige om deres januar 20 dueller og mere:
ROBERT PÅSKE (20-0, 14 KOS) – Gør tredje forsvar af IBF Letvægts verden titel
“Denne kamp kan definitivt sat en god tone for mig i 2018. Jeg har tænkt mig at være at gøre en erklæring med denne kamp. Mine sidste tre kampe, jeg har ikke fået en knockout. Jeg har tænkt mig at være at give mine fans og kæmpe fans et godt show.
“Jeg har tænkt mig at bruge min rækkevidde og længde og ødelægge denne fyr udefra. Alle min karriere har jeg kæmpet kortere fyre. Hver kort fyr kæmper ikke det samme. Men du får i ringen, og du føler ham ud og foretage justeringer.
“Der er ikke noget særligt, at jeg er nødt til at forberede sig til med Fortuna. Jeg tager hver kamp de samme. Hver fighter kæmper forskellige, så du komme derind, føler ham ud og foretage justeringer, som du går sammen. Jeg er ikke bekymret for ham at være en southpaw. Jeg har konfronteret masser af venstreorienterede i min karriere, og i de amatører. Det er ingen problemer overhovedet.
“Jeg tror det, der gør mig mere farlig bokser i denne kamp er at have den højde, jeg gør, og det stansning magt og hastighed og den tankegang samt. Min tankegang er, at jeg ikke har tænkt mig derind for at lege med ham. Jeg er klar til at ødelægge.
“Mine mål for 2018 er til at fange flere titler og få forening anfald. Vi havde et par mestre i vægtklassen, men det lader til, at ingen er villig til at kæmpe de andre mestre. Vi er villige til at gøre, hvad det tager, kæmpe den, der har titlerne. Vi er villige til at indfange alle de titler, når de andre gutter er villige til at melde sig til kampene.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KOS) – Tidligere Super Fjervægt verdensmester
“Min forberedelse til denne kamp går meget godt. Jeg har arbejdet i Den Dominikanske Republik, men jeg er kommet tilbage til Boston til at afslutte min uddannelse. Lige nu er vi ved 75% og lukker på 100%. Jeg vil være helt forberedt, når det er tid til at kæmpe. Min forberedelse og min strategi gør mig mere farlig fyr.
“Jeg ser dette som ingen anden kamp, ​​som jeg har haft før, fordi hver modstander er anderledes. Alle har deres egen niche på dette niveau, noget, der virker for dem. Hans niche er, at han er høj. Han bruger det til sin fordel. Men det er ikke noget, som jeg ikke kan overvinde. Jeg har kæmpet høje fyre før.
“Jeg foretrækker mine modstandere til at være højere. Det spiller ind, hvad jeg er i stand til at gøre. Jeg har aldrig haft et problem med højere modstandere. Abner Cotto (5-10) er en af ​​høje fyre, jeg kæmpede. Jeg kæmpede i Chicago og lægge på en stor præstation. (Fortuna scorede et 5th runde KO mod Cotto)
“Mit mål for 2018 er at bekæmpe alle de øverste elite krigere i min vægtklasse, og jeg prøver at blive nævnt som en af ​​de bedste i sporten. Jeg vil virkelig gerne vinde en anden verden titel i en anden vægtklasse. Det ville være den største øjeblik hidtil i min karriere at få en anden verden titel.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KOS) – Top 10 Vurderet på 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Min modstander (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KOS) ligner en holdbar, hård fyr. Jeg ser denne kamp bliver meget spændende for fans, så længe det varer. Jeg så en lille smule af tape på ham. Jeg ved, han kommer altid i tip-top form, og jeg hører, at han er konsekvent i sin præstation i ringen. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Det er altid en ære at kæmpe her i hjemmet og på Barclays Centre. Det er særligt at være i stand til at udføre foran disse fans, og jeg kan ikke vente med at sætte på en god præstation fører op til Spence vs. Peterson kamp.
“Denne kamp kunne sætte mig i den position, som jeg har brug for at være i at kæmpe for en verden titel. Jeg kan ikke mangle på nogen måde. Jeg er nødt til at komme ud stærk med en stor præstation fra start til slut og efterlader ingen tvivl derinde.
“For 2018, Jeg ønsker at blive en verdensmester. Jeg er fast besluttet på tomake det ske i år. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KOS) – Kæmpede David Benavidez på Barclays Centre i juni 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Jeg håber, det er tilfældet, fordi det vil være et chok for ham, fans og hans team, når jeg tager hans plads i linje for en titel. Jeg ønsker at møde Eleider Alvarez i vores hjemby Montreal, efter at jeg får denne sejr.
“Min tidligere kamp på Barclays Center mod den nuværende WBC mester David Benavidez var naturligvis en meget dårlig beslutning af dommeren til at stoppe kampen, især når jeg var ved at vinde runden og Benavidez blev langsommere. Jeg var ved at blive stærkere, mens han var ved at blive svagere.
“Jeg har aldrig været skadet og aldrig blevet tabt i en kamp. Jeg vil have Marcus at udfordre sig selv og se, om han kan gøre noget ingen andre har. Jeg er spændt på at være i en kamp af denne størrelsesorden. Marcus, er det tid for os at give fans, hvad de ønsker!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KOS) – Oprindeligt fra Polen & kæmper ud af Brooklyn
“Denne kamp vil være endnu et skridt mod at blive en mester. Jeg ved, at jeg har tænkt mig at skulle arbejde meget hårdt og bevise, at jeg fortsætter med at bygge videre på min sejr mod Szpilka. Fra videoen har jeg set på Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOS), Han bevæger sig meget, så jeg vil være behov for at afskære ringen. Uanset hvad han bringer til ringen, Jeg vil gerne have et svar til.
“Tre år i træk nu har jeg kæmpet i januar. Jeg elsker starter ud året stærk. Min kone og jeg startede faktisk en tradition for “Kownacki Family Run” på midnat on New Year’s Eve. Da jeg altid forbereder en kamp omkring nytår, vi var vi kunne lige så godt have det sjovt, mens vi arbejder. Så, vi har nogle venner komme ud og køre et par miles med os rundt i kvarteret i løbet af fyrværkeri. Det er sjovt og hjælper med at få mig klar.
“I sidste ende, Jeg glæder mig til at blive den bedste i den tunge afdeling. Det endelige mål for i år er at blive verdensmester. Men det allerførste skridt tager Iago Kiladze meget alvorligt. I can’t look past Januar 20 lige nu. Jeg har en hård modstander, som vil udfordre og gøre mig til en bedre fighter i det lange løb.”
Iago Kiladze, Tredje kamp siden flytte op til tunge division (2-0, 2 KOS)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Min træner er Freddie Roach nu. Jeg diskuteret med (IBF cruiservægt Champion) Murat Gassiev tre gange for nylig, som er fantastisk forberedelse til mig. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Uanset, Jeg vil være sejrrig. Jeg er føler, at jeg er den mere kvalificerede fighter og der vil vise i ringen.
“Dette er en stor kamp for min karriere og en fantastisk start for 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Mit mål er at være en verdensmester i slutningen af 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”

Her er, hvad pressemødet deltagerne havde at sige onsdag:
ERROL Spence JR.
“You’re going to see the same Errol Spence that you’re used to. I can’t look ahead because I know how dangerous Lamont Peterson is. I’ve been in training camps with him and I know what he can do.
“I’ve seen too many fighters look down the road and get beat before they get to the big fight. I have to be 100 percent focused and hungry. I’m fully dedicated to this fight.
“Lamont can push me to even greater levels. I feel like he is a better fighter than Kell Brook and has even more heart than Kell Brook and he can bring out the best in me.
“I think it’s going to start out as a boxing match, but as we go on, it’s going to be a dog fight. We both have big hearts. I’ve never known Lamont to turn down any fight. Not a lot of people wanted to fight me. The big names shied away from me but Lamont stood up and said he’d fight me. This is going to be a hard fight.
“I used to watch Lamont and his brother Anthony Peterson before I ever met them. I like their styles, the way they throw body punches and the fundamentals that they learned from Barry Hunter.
“I think I can be known as the best pound-for-pound in the sport, but I have to take it one fight at a time. I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion. That should be everyone’s ultimate goal – to be the best fighter in the sport. But first I have a big test ahead of me Januar 20.
“This is the business of the sport. I was a young guy when Lamont was giving me advice. Now we’ve gotten to this point. It really shows his longevity in the sport and how I’ve reached the ranks of being a top pro fighter.
“Sparring with Lamont Peterson was really great work. Det var en lærerig oplevelse. I was an amateur so I was going at a fast pace and Lamont was being patient, blocking and countering and picking his shots. He was fighting at a pro pace and I didn’t really understand it until I got farther into my career.
“You’ve seen me and Lamont fight. We’re not in boring fights. We have fan-friendly styles and you’re going to get a really good fight. We have the mentality to really go after it and give it our all to get this win.
“I want the best in this division to all fight each other. It’s time for everyone else to stand up and proclaim that they want to be great. That’s how we get this division to the peak. I don’t feel like waiting to fight the best. I want to prove myself.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“This is a world title fight and I’m thankful for that. I try not to make too much out of each fight. I just want to take it one fight at a time. I’ve done this for 13 years as a professional. All fights are the same. I’m going to go in there and take care of business.
“As a top fighter, you’re obligated to take what comes on the table. Regardless of who it is. It’s boxing. It’s a sport and we’re competitors. We want to go in there and compete to see who’s the best. We’re going to treat it like business like we always do.
“You already know when I fight, it’s a feeling out process to start, but in my head, Jeg er klar til at gå. It’s going to get rough in the trenches and we’ll see who wants it more.
“I knew six years ago when Errol was in my camp that we’d get to this point. I knew he would be a champion. For det meste, I’ve seen him improve and progress throughout the pro ranks and I believe he’s going to keep getting better.
“I don’t pay any attention to the outside noise. I respect everyone’s opinion. I just go out and train to do what I love to do. I do this because I love to box. I’m not here to get on a list. I truly love this sport.
“I can’t worry about people thinking that Errol is the next star in this sport. I believe that, but I can’t worry about it. It is up to me and my team to come up with the right type of strategy and execute it.
“I’m not too worried about figuring out his southpaw stance. I’ve been around long enough and encountered enough southpaws. I’m confident I’ll be able to handle it.
“The size may seem like an advantage for Errol, but it’s up to me and my team to figure out the best way to negate it. I know who I am. I’m a competitive person. Regardless of everything, I’m going to come to win.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence træner
“We have a game plan in place. We’ll try to perfect everything leading up to this one. We’re working on making Errol a more complete fighter every time out. He’ll be better than he was when you saw him against Brook.
“We’re looking for the perfect fight. It takes a great fighter to bring out the greatness in another great fighter. These guys are high caliber fighters and it’s about as good a matchup as you can have in the division.
“These are two guys with the mentality to go after it. But they also have technical skill. This is going to be an old school fight between guys with real skills.
“It’s one thing to do it, but it’s another to teach. I’ve really understood this sport since I became a trainer. Fighters are developed, not born. I’m going to keep working with these guys on the fundamentals so we can bring up the whole sport.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“When I look at Errol Spence, I instantly fell in love with him because he reminded me of Lamont so much. They both have that dog mentality. I’ve always known he was a special fighter.
“Lamont told me when he worked with Errol that he really liked the kid. He knew he would be a world champion. I had to remind myself that this is business. We have to fight our friends.
“These are the two guys who are ready to fight anybody. The fight on Januar 20 is going to be one to remember. It’s a fan-friendly fight.
“Errol Spence is the best fighter in the welterweight division. You have athletes that can fight and athletes who are fighters. Errol and Lamont are both. They have the skills and they have the ability to fight.
“To be the best in the world, you have to fight the best in the world. All the greats have done it. In order to get back to the glory days, we need to put the best against the best. I have confidence in Lamont Peterson against anybody.”
LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment
“There are very few fights you could make that are better in the welterweight division than this fight. It’s going to take place at the home of big-time boxing, here at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME.
“Errol Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Some think he could be the best fighter in the world. He’s consistently said he only wants to fight the best and on Januar 20 he will be fighting another champion and another great welterweight. Lamont Peterson never backs down from a challenge and we know he’ll be ready for this fight on Januar 20.
“This is a great event that continues the run of significant meaningful matchups on SHOWTIME. It’s been great quality programming. The fight cards have all been incredibly easy to promote because the fights have been so strong. You have to make fights with great fighters battling other great fighters. That’s what we need to energize our fans and our sport.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports
“As we come to the end of 2017 we look back on what has been a really strong year. 25 nights of live boxing, 80 live boxing matches and 27 verden titel slagsmål. Not just title fights, but world title fights featuring top ranked challengers against top ranked champions.
“We’ve brought you the most watched fight of the year in Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia right here at Barclays Center on CBS. It was also the most watched primetime boxing match in nearly 20 år. But we will not be resting on our laurels.
“We’ll kick off next year with an incredibly strong card. Errol Spence has grown up on SHOWTIME and we’re proud of that. He made his debut on ShoBox and won his world title on SHOWTIME. He has knocked out nine straight opponents and in his last five fights his opponents have an impressive record of 141-7-3.
“Not a lot of fighters are rushing to fight Errol Spence. Lamont Peterson not only stepped up to the challenge, but he relinquished his welterweight title to take this fight. That’s the kind of fighter he is. He has one of the strongest resumes in the division and he’s fought the best guys in the sport.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the year with this matchup. It’s another great fight in the welterweight division, a division we’ve been paying a lot of attention to for years. We’ll see you on Januar 20.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Underholdning
“We’re coming off of an incredible 2017 for BROOKLYN BOXING. It far exceeded my expectations. We’re very committed to boxing, not just now, but in the future. This fight kicks off what I think will be a great 2018 for BROOKLYN BOXING.
“Lamont was on the first ever PBC card at Barclays Center in 2015 and Brooklyn is happy to have you back. Errol was here in the spring of 2016 and we’ve had him as a fan several times, but we far prefer having you here in the ring.
“Barclays Center is known for hosting 50-50 fights and this is no different. We’re thrilled to be holding this event here in Brooklyn. We look forward to seeing you on Januar 20.”

Her er, hvad deltagerne havde at sige Onsdag:
DEONTAY WILDER
“Jeg er den best. I am the toughest heavyweight in the division. Jeg er den man in the division. I don’t care what anybody else has going on. You’ve got to come through me.
“When I knock him out, I want my due respect. I’m the only American heavyweight champion of the world and I am the man. Nobody is stronger physically, mentalt og åndeligt. They are all scared of me.
“I’m the heavyweight in the division with real knockout power. I put grown men down easily. På November 4, Ortiz is going down. Efter det, you already know who is next. I’m ready to unify.
“If he’s the boogeyman, I can’t wait to shine a light on him because the boogeyman is only effective at night. And we’re in New York so you already know what happened to King Kong in New York.
“The game plan is the same as usual. We’re going to use my attributes. I’m going to set him up until the time comes. Ortiz has a great set of skills and I like his aggressive style. That’s one of the reasons I chose him. I wanted to beat him to prove that I am the man.
“It definitely won’t go the distance. Lige nu, I’m thinking about three rounds but come November 4th, it might be in the first round.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I’m ready to go and excited for the fight. I want to get to November 4 so I can do what I have to do.
“Wilder does a lot of talking. He’s nervous and keeps forgetting the date of the fight. I think he took this fight because he has no choice and no one else to fight.
“I think Wilder is going to run in this fight. He should be careful what he says before the fight, because I think he’s going to run from me.
“Wilder should sign his death sentence. I’m very different than anybody else that he’s fought. I punch harder than anybody else. I’m going to teach him not to mess with Cubans.
“Some skeptics are talking about my age, but look at Mayweather. I still have my speed and my quickness.”
JAY flot, Wilder’s Co-Manager and Trainer
“Everything in camp has been going well. Last time we were here in New York we had a great crowd and it was a wonderful event. This will be an even bigger challenge. This is the fight the fans wanted and this is the fight we wanted.
“Deontay has always wanted the biggest challenges. We won the belt in [Bermane] Stiverne’s hometown and we were ready to go to Russia to defend the belt. These are two guys in the division no one wants to fight, but they’ve decided to fight each other.
“This is a great opportunity for Deontay to show who he is and where he is. It’s going to be well worth everyone’s time to be there at Barclays Center.”
LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment
“There is nothing like a great heavyweight championship fight and on November 4th, a great champion is going to fight a great contender. This is a terrific fight.
“This fight is happening because Deontay Wilder wants the world to know that he is afraid of no one, and that he’s prepared to fight anyone and he’s the best heavyweight in the world today. I could not be prouder of him for making this fight happen.
“This is the toughest fight that Deontay Wilder could engage in right now. This is the most difficult opponent he possibly could fight.
“Luis Ortiz is the boogeyman of this division. You haven’t heard anyone scream about fighting Luis Ortiz. A lot of people were shocked when they heard that Deontay Wilder wants to fight him. He not only wants to fight him, but he insisted upon it.
“This isn’t a 43-year-old champion on his last legs in Luis Ortiz. This is a hungry beast that wants to beat Deontay Wilder. But Deontay is a champion. He’s not doing this for the money. A lot of people would think this is a dumb economic move. This is a legacy move. This is a move to prove who is the best. We’re not afraid of Anthony Joshua. If he was available on November 4th and wanted to fight, we’d fight him then.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & GM, SHOWTIME Sports
“This has been a really strong year for SHOWTIME Boxing. This will be our 23rd live boxing event on SHOWTIME this year. And they’ve been important, meningsfulde kampe. Not just a big name against a nobody. Faktisk, 16 times this year on SHOWTIME we’ve featured and unbeaten fighter taking on another unbeaten fighter. We know on SHOWTIME that you’re seeing the best fighting the best. No other network is as dedicated to delivering the highest quality fights. So without question, it’s been a great year. But we may have saved the best for last here.
“We have two of the top heavyweights in the world. Both undefeated with a combined record of 65-0, 60 knockouts. This is the best fight that can be made in the heavyweight division. There is no question about that. This will be the eighth heavyweight title fight we’ve featured in the last two years. The only way to get to one unified champion in the heavyweight division is to have the best fight the best, and that is what is happening here on November. 4, and we can’t wait.”

Mashantucket, CT (September 16, 2017) – Undefeated Irishman Niall “Boom Boom” Kennedy won a controversial 10-round split decision versus defending champion Alexis Santos to capture the New England heavyweight championship in last night’s (Lørdag) main event of Broadway Boxing held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Den Broadway Boxing series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House. Last night’s show, which was streamed by FightNight LIVE on Facebook, was promoted in association with Murphys Boxing.
Kennedy (9-0, 5 KOS), fighting out of Galway, Irland, by way of Boston, battled Santos in a competitive, action-packed brawl to be awarded the N.E. title by scores of 96-93, 96-93, 93-96. The majority of fans in attendance, outside of Kennedy’s Irish supporters, and the ringside media felt that Santos, fra Lawrence, MA, had the edge and deserved the decision.
Dommer Al LoBianco deducted a point from Santos in the ninth round for a highly questionable low blow and failed to rule a knockdown when it appeared the ropes kept Kennedy upright in a tremendous last round surge from the Dominican American.
I co-featured Bout, tidligere verdensmester Shelly “Shelito Way” Vincent (20-1, 1 KO), of Providence, RI, defeated former world title challenger Angel “Non-Stop” Gladney (9-13-1, 6 KOS) in a junior lightweight match. The colorful Vincent was the aggressor throughout the fight, effectively cutting off the ring, outboxing and walking down Gladney for a lop-sided eight-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-71 to gange).
Shelly Vincent (L) outclassed Angel Gladney
Rising Connecticut welterweight star “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams forbedret hans post til 8-0 (4 KOS), pitching a complete shutout in an impressive six-round unanimous decision (all 60-54) win over a much more experienced and considerably taller Evincii “Prize Fighter” Dixon (7-20-2, 2 KOS). Williams is a 19-year-old from East Hartford who is a freshman at Manchester Community College.
Mykquan Williams (L) cruised to another victory
2012 Ukrainsk Olympian Ievgen “The Ukrainian Lion” Khytrov (15-1, 13 KOS), kæmper ud af Brooklyn, bounced back from his only pro loss with a near shutout eight-round decision victory (80-72 to gange, 79-73) over his always tough super middleweight adversary, battle-tested veteran Derrick “Superman” Finley (27-22-1, 18 KOS).
“It was different when I first started training after a loss,” Khytrov said after the fight. “I started to think more and work on my defense; to fight much smarter instead of just brawling, throwing punches, like I did before my loss. I came the US four years ago from a small country that’s not rich to become a world champion. I feel I’m back on the right track.
Ievgen Khytrov (R) bounced back with a solid win
Hot New England junior welterweight prospect Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (5-0, 4 KOS) stepped up in class against Mexican Francisco “El Mono” Medel (11-10, 7 KOS), and remained undefeated by displaying his overall game, offensively and defensively. Fighting out of Lawrence, MA, den 2014 N.E. amateur champion Sosa dropped Medal with a straight right in the first round, a sneaky body shot in the second and finished him off in the third with a crisp right to the temple as referee Al LoBianco immediately halted the action.
Pro-debuting welterweights Nicky DeQuattro (1-0, 1 KO) og Timothy Wheeler (0-1) engaged in a street fight from the opening bell until DeQuartro, fighting out of Johnson, RI, connected with an overhand right that dropped his New York City rival. Øjeblikke senere, DeQuattro unleashed a four-punch combination that dropped Wheeler for a complete 10-count.
The night started with a barnburner as former Irish amateur standout Ray Moylette (6-0, 2 KOS) kept his undefeated pro record intact but it certainly wasn’t easy. Moylette overcame a second-round knockdown, coming back strong in the second half of the fight to take a six-round split decision versus game junior welterweight Donte Bryant (1-3-1, 1 KO).
