Dirrell and Yildirim had to be separated during their portion of the press conference, as both fighters and their teams exchanged words ahead of Saturday’s showdown. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from the Armory:
安東尼Dirrell的
“在一天結束時, he’s getting knocked out. 而已.
“He doesn’t have what it takes. I’m just a higher level fighter than him. I’m coming to take him out.
“I’m thankful to my team for helping me get another shot at the championship. I’ve already proven everything I have to in this sport. 週六晚, I’m taking back what’s mine.”
AVNI YILDIRIM
“我很高興能夠在這裡. 星期六, I’m ready to do my talking. I’m going to show everyone what happens in the ring.
“Everybody knows that I’m coming to win that world title. This is my time on Saturday night. I will leave the ring with that belt.”
JAMAL JAMES
“All the work has already been put in. Now it’s time to give everyone a show. We’ve had a great camp. I’ve been training hard with my guys, including some work down in Miami. Now we’re ready to show the action on Saturday night.
“At this point in my career, every fight is a championship fight, because I’m so close to that level. If you slip up once, then you fall back. We have to stay ready.
“We’ve been training hard. There’s been a lot of work on technique and work on being prepared for anything that comes in the ring. 在我的腦海裡, I train for him like he’s the ultimate opponent.
“I’m a lot more comfortable in my hometown after fighting here a lot recently. Sometimes you want to perform so well in front of all your people that you press, but now I’m a lot more calm. I’m not overlooking this fight at all, but I’m gunning for that title fight.”
JANER GONZALEZ
“I’m very thankful for this opportunity to be in this great fight. My team has me prepared for this fight and has given me great support throughout training camp.
“我 100 ％的準備. I’m going to bring this fight and leave it all in the ring for my home country of Colombia.
“I had been preparing in Colombia with Breidis Prescott and it’s gotten me in top condition for the fight. I’m ready to do it in the ring.
“I know James is fighting at home but they can’t help him in the ring. It’s just me and him and I plan on breaking him down and getting the win.”
LEON MARGULES, 勇士拳擊總統
“It’s great to be back at the Armory in Minneapolis. This is our third PBC event here and it’s just a terrific venue with an enthusiastic and great crowd for boxing.
“This is a fantastic card headlined by a world championship fight. This is going to be a terrific fight to prove who is the best super middleweight. You don’t want to miss a high level fight like this one on Saturday night.
“Everybody in Minnesota knows Jamal James, as he’s become one of the stars of the boxing community here. I believe someday he’s going to be a world champion.”
