紐約, 紐約 (一月 10, 2018) — 體育勝利 & Entertainment’s highly-touted Junior Welterweight fighter Sonny “漂亮男孩” 弗雷德里克森 (18-0,12 科斯) is slated to make his SHOWTIME debut on 星期五, 一月 12 when he faces off against Shohjahon Ergashev in the telecast opener of 的ShoBox: 新一代 上 星期五, 一月. 12 住在Showtime (10 P.M. AND/PT) 從旋石度假村賭場在維羅納, 紐約州.
Fredrickson will square off against the Uzbekistani Ergashev (11-0, 11 科斯) in a telecast headlined by two-time Olympian Gold Medalist Claressa Shields (4-0, 2 KO的) as she defends her WBC and IBF Middleweight World Titles against Tori Nelson (17-0-3, 2 KO的).
弗雷德里克森, WBA的無. 8 ranked fighter at 140 英鎊, 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, 哥倫比亞. 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 的ShoBox 登場, 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, 俄亥俄” 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. 希望, Ergashev doesn’t get hurt before 星期五, but once the fight starts I can’t promise anything.”
Rick Torres, 勝利體育總裁, 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.
“的ShoBox is the premier platform today for showcasing and developing young fighters,”Leanardi said. “We’ve seen the impact 的ShoBox can have firsthand with [former Super Middleweight and Former Light Heavyweight World Champion] 八斗傑克. We’re confident that Sonny can achieve great success as well.”

Claressa盾

“I am calm – focused – but still hungry like a challenger with the added confidence of being a world champion. I took some time off after my last win but I look forward to getting busy again in 2018.

 

“This training camp I did eight weeks instead of six. A lot of camp has been extremely hard. But I’m so focused and determined on 2018 and starting great and staying busy. 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

“Training through the holidays is fine. The difference between the amateurs and now is that I was always in other countries competing. Now I get to be home with my family getting ready and I feel good.

 

“The matchup to me will play out with the first few rounds of me using my jab. Then I’ll add the combinations as the fight goes on. I see it being competitive though. I’m going to earn the win. I believe I can KO her by the sixth, seventh round.”

The 22-year-old native of Flint, 密歇根州。, returns to face Nelson, a seven-year veteran with seven times the professional ring experience.

 

“I’m truly excited to have the chance to demonstrate my skills against an opponent the caliber of Tori Nelson,“希爾茲說. “I’m honored to be headlining the first的ShoBox 的 2018, and I know 一月 12 will be a great night for the fans. This will be the beginning of a historic year for me and for women’s boxing.”

“Ever since Claressa turned pro, I have wanted this fight,” Nelson said. “She’s young and talented, but my experience will make the difference.
