The press conference of the forthcoming quadruple event took place at Tokyo Dome Hotel today (Thursday) in Tokyo, Japan. The comments of all the contestants were as follows:
Champion Junto Nakatani: I’m in good shape, and wish to show my best performance.
WBC#1 Vincent Astrolabio: I’ve done 180 sparring sessions. I’m ready. I’ve come here in Japan to win the belt.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman was in attendance.
Champion Kosei Tanaka: I’ve been training to improve combination punching. I am eager to fight for unification in the near future.
Challenger Jonathan Rodriguez Valles: I’m very well prepared. Tanaka is a strong champion having conquered four division belts, but I’ll maintain the pressure from the start to be victorious.
Riku Kano: I have strengthened my stamina to cope with his hard-punching. I know he is young and ambitious.
Anthony Olascuaga: For me this is the third fight straight here in Japan. I’ve done good training here. I know Kano is hungry for the belt. But me too.

Japanese prodigy Tenshin Nasukawa: I wish to demonstrate an unimaginable way of fighting and show my improvement.
WBA #4 bantam Jonathan Rodriguez Torres: I know Tenshin is an excellent all-around boxer. But I’ll handle him with my superior experience.
