Aerts is going for the K-1 Triple Crown!
To get himself in the best shape possible, Peter Aerts has arrived in Japan early. At the Laughter 7 gym, he held an open training session for the press in preparation for the Heavyweight title match on April 3rd. The match is part of the FieLDS K-1 WORLD GP 2010 IN YOKOHAMA
15 years since last fight under 100 kilos.
Wearing a "sauna" suit, the Dutch Lumberjack started his training session by jumping rope for 3 minutes then he quickly began mitt work for 4 rounds showing off combinations infused with speed and power. What about the weight? He normally weighs in at about 105, but now is already very close to the 100 mark. The legendary fighter explained that he is doing less power-training and is also eating smaller meals.
So why does the three-time champion want to take Kyotaro's title? Aerts answers, "It's just as important as the Superheavy and WGP belts. And once I have the heavy, I might just try for Semmy's Superheavy belt next." There aren't many fighters who could take all three crowns, but the soon to be forty Aerts is definitely one of them.
Strategy for Kyotaro
"He's a tricky fighter - always moving around. I like fighters who come at you. I told him that I'll be shining my running shoes, so get ready to run." Peter shared his thoughts on Kyotaro with the press saying, "if he fought a fight head on, it might be hard. But he can't run forever. Upon hearing that Kyotaro was advised by Musashi, Aerts remarked, "Musashi is experienced, and I wonder what he told Kyotaro, but in the end it doesn't matter. I will KO him anyway."
Kyotaro may have Musashi, Aerts has LeBanner
According to Aerts, LeBanner began training at Chakuriki Gym a month ago. "Jerome had trouble with the training menu at first, but now he's doing great. He's a southpaw and his style is different, so we'll work on technique next. We're teammates this time, so we'll cheer each other on." Perhaps LeBanner can pull off a comeback as Aerts once did. When asked if LeBanner might be in Aerts corner, Aerts said his team is already in place, but it could happen in the future.
Imagine how Kyotaro would feel having to stare at two of K-1's most famous.
Also training at Chakuriki is Japanese fighter Nobu Hayashi who is struggling with leukemia. After learning that Hayashi will have a marrow transplant in April, the three-time WGP winner commented, "Nobu is a strong fighter, and I know he'll beat this disease. My thoughts are with him." Spoken like a true champion.
