“Mo ti ni ọpọlọpọ awọn iṣẹ ṣiṣe nla ati pe Mo n reti siwaju si iṣẹ nla miiran ni alẹ Satidee. Mo mọ pe on bọ lati ja, undefeated ati pe ebi n pa oun.

Mo n lọ lati ṣe ohun ti Mo ni lati ṣe lati gba iṣẹgun - dara dara inu ati lode oruka.
“Mo lero pe Emi yoo di aṣaju-aye lẹẹkansii, lẹẹkansi, lẹẹkansi ati lẹẹkansi. Titi emi o fi pari pẹlu Boxing. Bẹẹni, Mo gba ọdun meji kuro ni afẹṣẹja, feyinti o si jẹ ki ara mi larada ki o si sinmi. I just feel like I’ve got what it takes to win more championships in different weight classes so that’s what I’m going to do.
“At the end of the day, he’s here because of me and everybody in this room is here because of me, so that’s special. Saturday night, the only thing that’s going to be special is this whooping I’m giving out. He’ll know then. Santiago hasn’t been punched yet. When you punch somebody, they talk different. He ain’t going to be talking like that after Saturday.
“I went through a lot of things, nitootọ. Lọjọ kan, I just woke and said, ‘I’m done.’ In order to change, you’ve got to make change or you’ll steady get caught up doing the same thing. I cut a lot of stuff, Mo dawọ ṣiṣe nkan pupọ ati pe Mo ni ara mi pọ. O jẹ ọna pipẹ lati de ibi ti Mo wa loni ati bayi Mo wa nibi.
"Gbọ, ti o ba ni igbanu, kan di i mu mu. Mo n bọ lati gba gbogbo rẹ; WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF. Mo n bọ lati gba gbogbo wọn.
“O kan reti apaadi ti iṣafihan kan. Mo mọ pe on bọ lati ja, O wa lati Puerto Rico, nwọn wá lati ja. Ṣugbọn Emi ko ṣe gbogbo ikẹkọ yii lati lọ si iwọn ati ki o ma ja. Nitorina o ti mọ pe ti o ba de si ogun kan, oun yoo wa ninu ogun paapaa. O dara julọ lati wa pẹlu ọpọlọpọ awọn ohun elo nitori Mo ti ni ọpọlọpọ awọn ẹrọ ti n bọ pẹlu mi. Mo ṣetan lati fi gbogbo rẹ si ori ila. Emi ko mọ bi o ṣe rilara, ṣugbọn Mo ṣetan lati ku ninu iwọn. Mo setan lati fi igbesi aye mi si ori ila. Emi ko mọ bi o ṣe fẹ lati lọ. O le bẹrẹ ronu nipa awọn ọmọ wẹwẹ rẹ, awọn baba-nla, awọn anti, omo iya, Emi ko mọ.
“Lati igba ti mo ti wa ni omo odun mefa, Emi ko gba isinmi kuro ni afẹṣẹja. Nitorina iyẹn ni mo ṣe. Bayi, Mo tun padanu afẹṣẹja lẹẹkansii, Mo pada si inu rẹ ati pe a pada si ọdọ rẹ ni alẹ Ọjọ Satidee.
“O ti jẹ apaadi ti ibudo ikẹkọ kan. Boya ọkan ninu awọn ti o nira julọ nitori pe mo ni lati pada si ilu, bọ pada ati padanu gbogbo iwuwo yẹn ati ṣiṣẹ bi lile bi emi ṣe.

O si ni kan ti o dara Onija, onija ti ko bori, ati pe ko wa nibi lati padanu.
“I know a lot of people don’t know these guys, but guys like Jovanie can be very dangerous because a lot of people don’t know him. I know better, he’s coming to fight, he’s a good fighter and undefeated, so I have to stay on my A-game. I’m going in to get the victory – whatever presents itself. If the knockout presents itself, I’m taking it. You don’t get paid for overtime but I’m definitely coming to get my win.
“The overall goal is to get past this fight first. In boxing, you can’t look past no opponent. I don’t care how everything looks on paper. In boxing, you’re only one punch away from a knockout and that’s on both ends. So what I’ve got to do is go in, get my victory, gba ọwọ mi ni akọkọ, ati lẹhinna a yoo lọ si igbimọ iyaworan. Nitorinaa ero fun mi ni lati ni iṣẹgun mi ni alẹ Satidee.
“Ohun gbogbo n ṣẹlẹ fun idi kan ati pe Mo ro pe eyi yoo jẹ ibẹrẹ nla. Bi mo ti sọ tẹlẹ, Emi ko fẹ jade rọrun. Mo ti le ti mu ọkọ ayọkẹlẹ kan, ṣugbọn emi ko ṣe eyi. Mo ni ife idije.

Dominic BREAZEALE
“O jẹ otitọ o dara nikan bi ija ikẹhin rẹ, ṣugbọn ni akoko kanna Mo lero pe eyi ni ayẹyẹ mi ti n jade. O kan lara bi iṣafihan pro mi. Mo ti lọ kuro fun igba pipẹ ati ni ibudó ikẹkọ nla nitorina Mo ṣetan fun alẹ Satidee.
“Lẹhin ija mi kẹhin si (Deontay) Wilder Mo mu awọn ọjọ diẹ lati ṣe ikaro pipadanu naa lẹhinna o pada si ibi idaraya nipa 10 ọjọ nigbamii. Emi ko fẹ ṣe duru lori rẹ tabi jẹ ki o yọ mi lẹnu. Nibẹ je ko gan a ori ti ijakadi, ṣugbọn Mo mọ pe awọn ayipada yoo wa ati pe Mo mọ pe wọn ni lati ṣe ni awọn ọsẹ meji to nbo. Mo ṣojukọ si jijẹ mi ati ikẹkọ mi ati, dajudaju, iyipada ti o tobi julọ ninu gbogbo ni iyipada olukọni mi lati Virgil Hunter si Abel Sanchez.
“Yipada si Abeli ati ikẹkọ ni Big Bear ti tobi pupọ ati nkan ti Mo fẹ pe Emi iba ti ṣe ni awọn ọdun sẹhin. Abẹli ni ohun kan ti a kọ si ara ogiri ti o sọ, ‘Foju inu wo kini ti.’ Ati pe Mo fojuinu ‘kini ti o ba’ ni gbogbo alẹ. Bi mo ti sọ, Mo fẹ Emi yoo ti ṣe eyi ni ọdun kan sẹhin, ṣugbọn iṣeduro mi ati igboya mi wa ni giga-giga.
“Diẹ ninu awọn eniyan le ti ro pe emi iba fẹ lati pada si nibẹ pẹlu titari, ṣugbọn Mo ti fẹ nigbagbogbo ja awọn eniyan ti o ga julọ. Mo rii ija Otto Wallin ati iṣẹ ti o fun lodi si Tyson Ibinu ati lẹhinna Travis Kauffman. Nigbati won mu oruko na wa si akiyesi mi, Mo fo gbogbo re. Mo mọ pe aye afẹṣẹja yoo bọwọ fun ija si emi ati Otto.
“Emi ko ro pe Otto ti wa nibẹ pẹlu nla kan, lagbara, elere idaraya bi ara mi. Mike Tyson sọ pe o dara julọ: ‘Gbogbo eniyan ni eto ere titi ti o fi lu ni ẹnu.’ ”
OTTO WALLIN
“Gbogbo eniyan fẹ lati beere nipa ija mi pẹlu Tyson Fury ati pe wọn gbagbe pe Mo ti ṣe pupọ diẹ sii ju iyẹn lọ. Ṣugbọn o jẹ iṣẹ nla kan ati pe Mo loye pe ọpọlọpọ awọn eniyan ko ti ri mi ja tẹlẹ, ija nla ni ati pe o dara ju ohun ti ọpọlọpọ eniyan ro. Mo jẹ iru ti ju bayi. Mo fẹ lati lọ siwaju. O dara lati lọ siwaju. O dara lati wa lori Ija SHOWTIME pẹlu Breazeale, eni ti o ni oruko rere. Nitorina ni ireti pẹlu ija yii, I beat him and move on so people can see I’m able to beat good guys.
“I think I’m more well-rounded than Breazeale. Bakannaa, you can’t forget that I’m actually 6’ 6”, 240, so I’m not that small. I know a lot of people look at me like I’m smaller but I’m not that small. Pẹlu ti a wi, Mo wa ijafafa, got a great team, we’ve had a great camp and I’m really good too. I’m faster than Dominic, I have better footwork, better defense, and better defense. So I’ve got to bring all of that in there, do what I’m good at and I’ll be fine.
“I think a win will hopefully help me move past Fury. But also it will put my name up there, to solidify my spot there. I don’t think this fight will get me a title shot but it will be a good shot on the way.
“I think you can expect a good fight, two good fighters. Dominic probably feels he has a point to prove and probably going to come out and be aggressive and try to come after me. I’m sure I won’t have to look for him and I’m ready for that. People can expect an exciting fight and a good night of boxing.
“Dominic is an aggressive guy so I have to be smart. I have to be who I am and set him up and I think I will be able to do that.
“I don’t feel a lot of pressure. I just have to be myself and I have to do what I do, what I’m good at. This is a big opportunity for me so I try to be positive. Mo duro de igba pipẹ lati de ipele yii, Mo wa nibi nikẹhin emi ko ni pada. ”
Robert Ajinde, JR.
“Mo ti wa ninu awọn ija diẹ, ṣugbọn Emi ko tii ṣe afihan awọn ipa Boxing mi gangan. Me, Mike Stafford ati baba mi (Robert ajinde, Sr.) o kan ṣiṣẹ lori Boxing ati jijẹ ara mi.
“Lakoko COVID o sọ mi di ẹni gidi ati pipa fun gbogbo akoko yẹn ati pe ko mọ gangan nigbati Emi yoo gba ipe yẹn lati pada si oruka. Nitorinaa Mo ni lati ni idojukọ gaan ati pe MO ni lati ṣetan nigbakugba ti a fun mi ni ipe foonu naa. O ṣe iwuri fun mi. Die, Mo ni lati wo ọmọ mi ki o rii daju pe o wa dara. Nitorinaa o fi awakọ oriṣiriṣi si mi. Aarun ajakale-arun yii ṣeto ohun gbogbo pada, ṣugbọn awa ti ni imurasilẹ ju.
“140 jẹ dajudaju aaye fun mi lati wa ni bayi. That’s the future. We’re worried about present right and capturing this title at 140.
“I’m just worried about me and showing my skills and everything we’ve worked on in training and this camp.”
RYAN MARTIN
“We fought in the amateurs and he beat me so there’s definitely a little chip on my shoulder there. I want to get back at him and let him know that I’m not a 16-year-old kid anymore.
“This fight is going to put me right back up there to be in a position to fight any of the champions or top contenders in the division. This fight is definitely going to steal the show.
“I’m focused. My mind is clear. This fight right here gets me excited. We’re two Ohio fighters with history – I’ve got a chip on my shoulder. It’s going to be an action-packed fight and I’m going to bring it. I’m not really surprised that Easter says he doesn’t see much difficulty in fighting me. I kind of expected him to say that. Easter is Easter.
“It’s going to be very important that I let my hands go against Easter. I feel that this fight is going to have so much action. I’m clear minded. Mo setan. Saturday night, we’re going to get in there and let it fly.
“Words can’t explain how excited and anxious I am for this, to tell you the truth. I’m just so ready for Saturday night. I’m ready to get the weigh-in over with, get under the lights on Saturday night and put on a show. It’s going to be an entertaining fight. A lot of people are saying a lot of things about me based on the Josh Taylor fight. Nítorí, it’s kind of like I’m battling two things.
“Easter just needs to come with it on Saturday night. I always knew this fight with Robert Easter was going to happen. I don’t know why, but I just always knew that we would meet again in the ring. I think it’s because we were both in Ohio – he was in Toledo and I was in Cleveland – and I just always thought I’d get this fight. I just didn’t think it would happen like this in a bubble.”
