Fredrickson and McCreary, both natives of Toledo, Ohio, will both perform on their biggest stage to date. The two will be featured on the Kovalev-Ward freeview telecast which begins at 7:00 p.m. ET/4:00 p.m. PT on the Pay-Per-View events channel prior to the official telecast, and to be announced cable, satellite, and telco channels. The freeview will also be available through livestreaming on HBO Boxing's YouTube channel. Fredrickson will fight Gabriel Duluc (11-1, 2 KO's) while McCreary will battle Vincent Jennings (5-2-1, 4 KO's). "I'm thrilled that my fight will be offered to fans as part of the freeview telecast," said Frederickson. "I have been on previous Andre Ward cards, but this one will be especially meaningful since it's also my first fight in Las Vegas." Fredrickson, who is looking to make a big statement in front of a large crowd and packed media contingent, also added, "I have fought in front of a lot of people before and hopefully, this leads television fights and big opportunities. I want to thank my promoter Roc Nation Sports for allowing me the opportunity to shine on this incredible stage, my team at Victory Sports & Entertainment and also to Andre Ward for all his help and guidance. This is a big steppingstone for me and in 2017, I expect to move up in the rankings and take my career to the next level." McCreary, who is also eager about the opportunity, stated, "This is a big opportunity for me and I wanted to thank my team and my promoter Roc Nation Sports. I have been training hard and am excited to showcase my skills on this big stage. I am ready to show everyone that I can to rise to the occasion. It's also exciting for me to fight on Andre Ward's undercard. He and I have become friends since we met last year at the Cotto-Canelo fight, and he has become a mentor to me, so I am very thankful to be on this fight card." "We are very excited to have both Sonny Frederickson and Tyler McCreary fight on, arguably, the biggest card of the year," said Rick Torres, President of Victory Sports & Entertainment. "We know that the Kovalev-Ward fight will produce a great battle and look forward to two of our young guns getting the fireworks started earlier in the evening. Both have been training very hard for this and are looking forward to putting on great fights as they take the next steps in their careers. Fans at home, especially those in Toledo, who tune in early can see both on the freeview telecast. All of this couldn't be possible without Roc Nation Sports and we're very appreciative of the commitment and confidence they have shown in Sonny Frederickson and Tyler McCreary."
