ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Dan ġlieda tfisser dak kollu għalija. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
“I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
“There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
“I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
“In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
“I’m just excited to fight. I simili għall-ġlieda kontra. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
“A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
“If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
“I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
“I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
“Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
“When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.”
ROBERT Għid
“I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
“I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
“Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
“I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
“Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.”
JAVIER FORTUNA
“I have no excuses on Jannar 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
“I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
“I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
“I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
“Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
“A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.”
DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Spence s
“I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
“I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
“I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.”
BARRY Hunter, Trainer Peterson tal-
“We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
“There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
“Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.”
Lou DIBELLA, President tal DiBella Entertainment
“This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout nhar is-Sibt lejl fil Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
“Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
“Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
“This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Viċi-President Eżekuttiv & General Manager, Showtime Sports
“In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
“You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring nhar is-Sibt.
“This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 guys. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
“Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 guys. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
“I’m really excited about IS-SIBT lejl. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
“I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
“We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues nhar is-Sibt night at Barclays Center.”

Also in attendance at the workout was Peterson’s brother, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, who competes in undercard action on the Jannar 20 avveniment.
Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday:
LAMONT PETERSON
“Inħoss kbir. 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 Jannar 20.
“I’ve been sparring with a variety of experienced fighters over the last year and they’ve helped me out even while I haven’t had a fight. Ring rust is all mental. It’s up to you to put the work in.
“I haven’t gotten the fights that I want, but I’ll always stick to my game and stick to my craft. I know if I persevere, things will work out for me.
“I know that I love this sport. I know that eventually I will be a world champion. I believe in my future and I’m looking forward to big fights.
“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, Trainer Peterson tal-
“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 u 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.
“My job is to go in there with part of a plan, but it’s always about adjustments for us. Whatever Errol brings to the table, we’ll figure it out and put everything in motion.
“This last week is a lot of game plan and mental preparation work. A lot of fighters don’t train the mind. You have to train the mind even more so than the body. We have to be ready for every scenario.
“I think if Anthony goes in there and does his job there are a few vacant titles at 140-pounds and that’s a track for us. 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.”

Hawnhekk huwa dak Spence u trainer tiegħu, Derrick James, kellhom jgħidu It-Tlieta mill-R&R Boxing Club fl Dallas:
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Kull min rat lili ġlieda qabel ikun jaf li din mhux se jkun ġlieda boring. Anki jekk huwa one-sided, huwa dejjem se jkunu azzjoni ppakkjati. Jannar 20 se tkun ġlieda tremend u jien ser jitqiegħdu fuq prestazzjoni kbira. Jien tippjana li jiddominaw.
“Niddefendu titolu tiegħi fi Brooklyn se jkun speċjali. Għandi familja fi New York wisq u għalhekk ifisser ħafna li jien ser tkun tista 'tiddefendi fi Barclays Center. New York hija belt boxing sabiex ikunu verament japprezzaw champions u jafu l-isport.
“Jien eċċitati li jiġġieldu Guy bħal Lamont Peterson. Jien ma tifi ta 'ebda isem ġlied regolari. Hu għaddej biex iġibu l-aħjar minn lili għaliex huwa ġellied veru. Jagħmel l-esperjenza kollha anki aħjar.
“Il-post top fil-isport huwa verament x'jintrebħu issa u jien ġejjin għaliha. I do not care li jien jkollhom jiffaċċjaw jew fejn, Jien ser tkun l-aħħar bniedem wieqfa. C'est pourquoi aħna kollha jsibu rwieħhom dan l-isport. Jien estremament kunfidenti fil myself.
“Lamont u jien kemm għandhom qlub kbar u naħseb kulħadd se tkun kapaċi li tara li fil-ċirku. Aħna kemm ġellieda intelliġenti sabiex jista 'jkun hemm xi sentiment qabel nikbru tmur. Imma jiena nistenna li dan ikun dogfight.
“Din il-komunità fl Dallas huwa importanti ħafna għalija. Meta I kien
jikbru hawn ma kienx hemm boxers professjonali minn hawn li I jista 'jidher bħala mudell. Ladarba inti għandek ir-riżorsi biex jagħtu lura, huwa importanti li jagħmlu dan. I imħabba li fil-gym u jgħinu l-guys verament żgħażagħ u jagħtihom xi ħaġa li jaspiraw li.”
DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Spence s
“Errol jistenna verament tajba fit-taħriġ. Huwa għandu jiffoka kbir. Huwa ferm dettall u orjentata keyed fl fuq huma l-aħjar verżjoni ta lilu nnifsu. Id-determinazzjoni fuq wiċċu tikri me know li hu jixtieq li jħallu tħalli xejn barra u kun żgur li kollox imur triqtu bil-lejl ġlieda. Aħna tirbaħ il-ġlieda fil-gym mhux fil-ċirku.
“Errol għandu jżomm din il-mentalità nidħlu din il-ġlieda u lil hinn, u hu jaf li. Nirbħu titolu m'huwiex dak li jixtieq. Huwa jixtieq li jkun paċifiku champion welterweight. Hu ferm għan orjentati u jiena nemmen li hu ser tilħaq l-għan. Hu ma jieħu ebda għal risposta. Hu għaddej biex timbotta lilu nnifsu għal-limitu u jinkisbu l-għanijiet tiegħu.
“Lamont Peterson huwa witty ħafna u intelliġenti fil-ċirku. Hu Guy iebsa wisq. Hu jġib li fortitude mentali li inti jeħtieġ li tkun suċċess. Għandna li jkunu ġejjin għal din il-ġlieda 100 mija u tkun iffokata l-ħin kollu. Jekk aħna ma, nistgħu toħroġ qasir.
“I għandhom ikunu l-aħjar verżjoni ta 'myself wisq. Nipprova nikseb aħjar u aħjar kull ġlieda u kull jum fil-gym. I know I għandhom ikunu fuq quċċata ta 'ta' dak kollu li jista 'jiġri. Barry Hunter hija iebsa, trainer intelliġenti li ġġib ħafna għat-tabella. Lamont għandu tim kbir. Huwa ta 'pjaċir u unur li jiffaċċjaw fil-ċirku.”

“għanijiet tiegħi għal 2018 għandhom jaqbdu aktar titli u biex jiksbu unifikazzjoni bouts. Kellna xi ċampjins ftit fil-klassi ta 'piż, iżda jidher li l-ebda wieħed huwa lest għall-ġlieda kontra l-ċampjins oħra. Aħna lesti li jagħmlu dak kollu li tieħu, ġlieda min ikun it-titoli. Aħna lesti li jaqbdu dawk titoli kollha kull meta l-guys oħra huma lesti li jiffirmaw għall-ġlied.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Kos) – Ex Super featherweight Champion tad-Dinja
“preparazzjoni tiegħi għal din il-ġlieda sejjer tajjeb ħafna. Stajt ilhom jaħdmu fir-Repubblika Dominikana, imma stajt terga 'lura lejn Boston biex jintemm taħriġ tiegħi. Dritt issa aħna qed fil 75% u għeluq dwar 100%. I se tkun ippreparata kompletament meta wasal iż-żmien għall-ġlieda kontra. preparazzjoni tiegħi u l-istrateġija tiegħi jagħmlu me l-Guy aktar perikolużi.
“Nara dan bħall-ebda ġlieda oħra li stajt kellhom qabel, għaliex kull avversarju huwa differenti. Kulħadd għandu niċċa tagħhom stess f'dan il-livell, xi ħaġa li jaħdem għalihom. niċċa tiegħu huwa li hu tall. Huwa juża dan għall-vantaġġ tiegħu. Imma hija xejn li ma nistax jingħelbu. Stajt ġġieldu guys tall qabel.
“Nippreferi avversarji tiegħi li jkun taller. Hija għandha fil dak li jien kapaċi tagħmel. Stajt qatt ma kellhom problema bil avversarji taller. Abner Cotto (5-10) hija waħda mill-guys tall li I ġġieldu. I ġġieldu f 'Chicago u mqiegħda fuq prestazzjoni kbira. (Fortuna skorja 5th tond KO kontra Cotto)
“L-għan tiegħi għal 2018 huwa għall-ġlieda kontra l-ġellieda elite top fil-klassi ta 'piż tiegħi, u jien tipprova ssir l-ewwel imsemmi bħala wieħed mill-aħjar fl-isport. I really tixtieq li jirbaħ titolu ieħor dinjija fi klassi ta 'piż differenti. Ikun l-akbar mument s'issa tal-karriera tiegħi biex tikseb titolu ieħor dinja.”

“Avversarju tiegħi (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Kos) qisu durabbli, Guy iebsa. Nara din il-ġlieda jkunu eċċitanti ħafna għall-fannijiet sakemm dan idum. Rajt xi ftit ta 'tejp fuqu. Naf hu dejjem jiġi fl-ponta forma top, u Nisma hu konsistenti fil-prestazzjoni tiegħu fiċ-ċirku. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Huwa dejjem unur li jiġġieldu hawn fid-dar u fil Barclays Center. Huwa speċjali li jkunu kapaċi jwettqu quddiem dawn fannijiet u I ma jistgħux jistennew li jitpoġġew fuq prestazzjoni tajba li wassal għall-Spence vs. ġlieda Peterson.
“Din il-ġlieda tista 'tqiegħed lili fil-pożizzjoni li għandi bżonn li jkunu għall-ġlieda għal titlu dinja. I ma jistgħux jiġu nieqsa bl-ebda mod. Għandi biex toħroġ qawwija bi prestazzjoni kbira mill-bidu sat-tmiem u jħallu l-ebda dubju fil hemmhekk.
“Għal 2018, Irrid li ssir champion tad-dinja. Jien determinat tomake dan iseħħ din is-sena. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 Kos) – Ġġieldu David Benavidez fil Barclays Center f'Ġunju 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Nittama li huwa l-każ, għaliex li għaddej tkun xokk lilu, -fannijiet u t-tim tiegħu meta I jieħdu post tiegħu fil-linja għal titolu. Irrid li jiffaċċjaw Eleider Alvarez fil Hometown tagħna ta 'Montreal wara I nikseb dan rebħa.
“ġlieda preċedenti tiegħi fil Barclays Center kontra l-ċampjin WBC attwali David Benavidez kien ovvjament deċiżjoni ħażina ħafna mill-perit biex iwaqqaf il-ġlieda, speċjalment meta I kien li tirbaħ il-rawnd u Benavidez kien jonqos. I kien jkollna aktar b'saħħitha waqt li kien qed dgħajfa.
“Stajt qatt ma kien iweġġgħu u qatt twaqqgħet fi ġlieda. Irrid Marcus li jikkontesta lilu nnifsu u ara jekk huwa jista 'jagħmel xi ħaġa li ħadd ieħor ħa. Jien eċċitati li tkun fil-ġlieda ta 'dan il-kobor. Marcus, wasal iż-żmien għalina biex jagħtu l-fannijiet dak li jridu!”

“Din il-ġlieda se tkun pass ieħor lejn issir champion. Naf jien ser ikollhom jaħdmu ħafna u jipprova li jien tkompli tibni fuq win tiegħi kontra Szpilka. Mill-video stajt tidher fuq Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 Kos), hu jiċċaqlaq ħafna, so I ser jkunu jeħtieġu biex jinqata 'l-ċirku. Tkun xi tkun hu jġib għall-ċirku, I ser jkollu tweġiba għal.
“Tliet snin in fila issa stajt ġiet ġlied f'Jannar. I love jibda off-sena qawwija. Marti u I attwalment bdew tradizzjoni tal- “Kownacki Familja Mexxi” fi nofsillejl on New Year’s Eve. Peress Jien dejjem tipprepara għal ġlieda madwar Ewwel tas-Sena, aħna dehret nistgħu kif ukoll tieħdu gost filwaqt li naħdmu. Allura, aħna ser ikollhom xi ħbieb toħroġ u jimxu ftit mili magħna madwar il-lokal matul logħob tan-nar. Hu gost u jgħin nikseb me lesta.
“Fl-aħħarnett, Jien tfittex li ssir l-aqwa fid-diviżjoni heavyweight. L-għan aħħari ta 'din is-sena huwa li ssir champion tad-dinja. Iżda l-ewwel pass qed jieħu Iago Kiladze bis-serjetà ħafna. I can’t look past Jannar 20 dritt issa. Għandi avversarju iebsa li se jisfida u jagħmlu me ġlied aħjar fit-tul.”
Iago Kiladze, ġlieda tielet peress jimxu sa diviżjoni heavyweight (2-0, 2 Kos)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. trainer tiegħi hija Freddie Roach issa. I sparred ma (IBF Cruiserweight Champion) Murat Gassiev tliet darbiet reċentement li hija preparazzjoni kbir għalija. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Jew il-mod, I ser tkun rebbieħa. Jien jħossu li jien l-ġlied aktar tas-sengħa u li se juri fiċ-ċirku.
“Din hija ġlieda kbira għall-karriera tiegħi u bidu terrific għall 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Għan tiegħi huwa li jkun champion tad-dinja fl-aħħar tal 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”

Hawnhekk huwa dak li l-parteċipanti tal-konferenza għall-istampa kellhom jgħidu l-Erbgħa:
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 Jannar 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. Kienet esperjenza ta 'tagħlim. 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, Jien lest li tmur. 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. Għall-parti l-kbira, 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, Trainer Spence s
“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, Trainer Peterson tal-
“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 Jannar 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, President tal 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 Jannar 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 Jannar 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 tissielet titolu dinja. 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 snin. 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 Jannar 20.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
“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 Jannar 20.”

“I’m pleased to be promoting Spence vs. Peterson, one of the very best matchups in the welterweight division and in all of boxing,” qal Lou DiBella, President tal DiBella Entertainment. “Spence is not only one of the best welterweights in the world, but one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing. In Peterson, he faces another elite welterweight and a two-time world champion. Spence vs. Peterson will bring the heat to Barclays Center on a chilly January 20. This is yet another night in the outstanding run of big time fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.”
“Spence vs. Peterson is an intriguing matchup between two elite welterweights looking to reach the top of this marquee division,” said Tom Brown, President tal Promozzjonijiet TGB. “Errol Spence is a rising star with his sights set on title unification and the top of the pound-for-pound list, but he’s going to receive a stern test from Lamont Peterson, a multiple division champion whose resume is filled with top class opponents. It’s going to be another fantastic atmosphere at Barclays Center and a great night of fights live on SHOWTIME.”
“With his breakout performance against Kell Brook, Errol Spence established himself as one of top fighters in the welterweight division, if not in all of boxing,” qal Stephen Espinoza, Viċi-President Eżekuttiv u General Manager, Showtime Sports. “Never one to rest on his laurels, Errol continues to seek out the toughest available opponents, and he has found exactly that in Lamont Peterson. Lamont has never backed down from a challenge, and as a result, he has a wealth of experience with one of the strongest resumes in the division. This type of high profile, dangerous matchup is the quintessential SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event.”
“BROOKLYN BOXING enjoyed a banner year in 2017, and we are looking forward to carrying that momentum into 2018,” qal Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment. “Spence vs. Peterson sets a strong precedent for the year, with two top welterweights returning to the ring at Barclays Center to compete for recognition in one of the sport’s most talented divisions.”
Spence (22-0, 19 Kos), ta 'Dallas, traveled to England to dethrone IBF 147-pound champion and hometown favorite Kell Brook on Mejju 27 on SHOWTIME in one of the defining fights of 2017. The 27-year-old, who had long been touted as boxing’s next big thing, fulfilled his promise with a breakthrough performance, fracturing Brook’s orbital bone en route to an 11th round TKO. A 2012 U.S. Olympian, Spence will enter the ring at Barclays Center for the third time after most recently stopping former champion Chris Algieri in an April 2016 avveniment prinċipali. He will fight in Brooklyn for the fourth time; he earned his title shot by knocking out Leonard Bundu at the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk in August 2016.
“My goal is to unify the welterweight division in 2018, but this fight is a true test and Lamont Peterson is a veteran that I definitely will not overlook,” said Spence. “I sparred him in the amateurs and I know what he brings to the table. I have to get through him to achieve my goals and that is what I plan on doing January 20th.”
Peterson (35-3-1, 17 Kos), ta 'Washington, D.c., has won titles at 140 u 147 pounds while facing some of the biggest names in the sport, including Danny Garcia, Amir Khan and Timothy Bradley. The 33-year-old won the WBA 147-pound title in his last outing Frar. 18 on SHOWTIME before relinquishing the belt for the chance to challenge Spence. Peterson has won four of his last five outings, twice fighting at Barclays Center. His Brooklyn debut saw him defeat Edgar Santana by TKO in 2014 before dropping a narrow majority draw to Garcia in a 2015 main event in Brooklyn.
“First off, I’m happy to be getting back in the ring,” Said Peterson. “I’ve stayed in the gym and I’m ready to go. This is a fight I wanted and as I said before when I became a welterweight, I want to fight the best and make the fights that people want to see. I’m ready to give it my all and give the fans a great show.”

After Stiverne took Wilder the distance in their January 2015 title bout, Wilder has now knocked out every single opponent that he has faced in his career. Watch Wilder knocking out Stiverne HERE.
“So much frustration, it just seemed like my career, it’s been crazy. So many guys using PED’s”, Said Wilder, the only American heavyweight world champion. “I just want to prove that I am the best. I know I am the best but I want to prove I am the best.”
Wilder first knocked Stiverne to the ground with a devastating one-two combination that caught the Haitian challenger on the nose. Seconds after Stiverne got back to his feet, Wilder landed another clean combination with a big left and an overhand right that sent a stunned Stiverne back to the canvas. The final blow came in the waning moments of the opening round as Wilder landed four clean punches to the face of a wobbly Stiverne.
“You have to give props to Stiverne for getting in the ring,” Said Wilder. “It takes a lot of courage and it takes a lot of pride to step in the ring with someone like me. We do what we have to do in the ring and at least he stepped up. He was a clean fighter.”
After the brutal knockout, an emotional Wilder was asked by SHOWTIME Sports®reporter Jim Gray about a possible fight with unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
“I’ve been waiting on that fight for a long time now,” Said Wilder. “I declare war upon you. Do you accept my challenge? I’ve been waiting for a long time. I know I’m the champion. I know I’m the best. Are you up for the test?
“A king doesn’t chase the peasants. A king takes kings. I want Joshua. If he doesn’t give me the fight we have other plans. The world wants Joshua, the world wants Wilder, I want Joshua. Joshua come and see me baby. No more dodging, no more excuses. Make the date, don’t wait.”
Former welterweight world champion Shawn Porter (28-2-1, 17 Kos) defeated Adrian Granados (18-6-2, 11 Kos) via deċiżjoni unanima (skorja 117-111 by all three judges) in an exciting fight between two all-action competitors that served as the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. The victory makes Porter the mandatory title challenger for unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman’s WBC belt.
Ilbes, who injured his left hand in the sixth round, landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, Inklużi 40 mija ta 'puntelli enerġija tiegħu. Both fighters came out aggressive in the early rounds and exchanged several powerful blows.
“He gave me a little trouble here and there,” Said Porter. “I hurt my left hand in the sixth round, but I kept using it. I had to use my jab. It took a toll on me and by the 10th round I just couldn’t throw it anymore.
“The strategy was to keep working the jab. I knew he’d come at me periodically. I was prepared and dug deep to get the win.”
Granados, of Cicero, Morda., fought valiantly and withstood multiple barrages from the powerful Porter and countered with several quick combinations of his own. Granados, who landed just 24 mija tal puntelli totali tiegħu, disagreed with the judges’ scorecard.
“I thought that I was controlling the fight and keeping up with him the whole time,” Granados told Jim Gray. “He was just trying to use his normal tricks. I rocked him multiple times and he never had me in any trouble.
“He’s a brute. I thought the referee [Gary Rosato] did a good job breaking up the fight at the right times. It was rough but I definitely thought I did better than the scorecards said.”
Fil-bout ftuħ tal-telecast, unbeaten top contender Lipinets Sergey (13-0, 10 Kos) earned the vacant IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Japanese veteran Akihiro Kondo (29-7-1, 16 Kos). The judges scored the fight118-110, 117-111 u 117-111.
The back-and-forth 12-round world championship fight saw Lipinets control the early rounds with a diversified, creative attack targeting Kondo’s body. An accidental clash of heads in the sixth round, which opened up a deep cut on the forehead of Lipinets, altered the momentum of the fight as Kondo gained confidence and was able to land some powerful punches to the head and body of Lipinets. The 28-year old Lipinets, who earned the title in just his 13th professional fight, was able to regain control in the later rounds to earn the unanimous win.
“I think the scorecards were accurate but it was a good fight,” said Lipinets. “The head-butt really impaired my vision and it led to me walking into some stupid shots.
“I’m happy with my performance. I’m just going to keep getting better from here. I’m ready to take any on challenge thrown my way.”
Kondo, who was fighting for the first time in the United States, proved a worthy opponent on the night. “It was a fair decision,” said Kondo, through a translater. “He hit me with a lot of hard punches and I felt like I needed at least a knockdown in the last round.
“I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to show any pain or fear from his punches. I was determined to keep fighting all night.”
