We are going to start with the main event guys it’s Adonis Stevenson, limyè pwa loud chanpyon nan lemonn; antrenè l ', “Sugar” Hill; Saki Taurus, ansyen chanpyon nan lemonn super middleweight; ak antrenè li, Kevin Cunningham. We will also have Artur Beterbiev later. His opponent is training in Spain. Se konsa,, he will not be joining us. Men,, first let’s get some opening comments from the fighters and their trainers. Adonis, ou ta ba nou yon ti kras nan enfòmasyon sou ki jan fòmasyon nan ale ki mennen nan semèn batay semèn pwochen an?
Adonis Stevenson
Mèsi a tout medya yo. Mwen vle remèsye Al HAYMON, manadjè mwen, great job. This is a good person for me and fight on CBS since like ’80 like Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali. Ou konnen, this is amazing. And the first championship they want to start in Canada, Quebec City. This is amazing. And I’m very glad to be part of that.
L. Milner
Great. “Sugar” Hill, ou ta ka ajoute anyen ak sa yo ki sou fòmasyon oswa kòmantè sou ki jan Adonis ap fè nan kan?
“Sugar” Hill
The training camp is going fantastic. We are here in his hometown of Montreal training at his gym. His gym is just opening. Se konsa,, this would be the first training camp held at this gym and for such a fight of this magnitude where Adonis is defending his world championship for the fifth time. I’ve only been here for one week any other time, but Montreal is a great place and a great place for training as well. The city has been so good and warm welcoming me here, ak mwen wè poukisa Adonis renmen Monreyal, ak mwen wè poukisa Monreyal renmen Adonis kòm byen.
L. Milner
Great. Mèsi poutèt ou. Sakio, ou ta ka ban nou yon ouvèti kòmantè rapid sou kan fòmasyon?
Saki Taurus
Tout dwa, premye a tout, I want to thank everybody for giving me this big opportunity at the world title. . My training camp is going really well. Mwen vle di Bondye mèsi, ou konnen, to give me this opportunity. Yon lòt fwa ankò, we have a good training camp here. Everyone is happy. Mwen kontan, and my coach is happy. All my kingdom is happy. I’m just looking for on Avril 4yèm a, yo vin twa fwa chanpyon nan lemonn.
L. Milner
Awesome. Mèsi poutèt ou. Mr. Cunningham, se ou gen? Could you add anything to that?
Kevin Cunningham
Wi. To piggyback on what Sakio has just said, nou te gen yon kan fòmasyon fòmidab, great sparing. Everything is going well. Sakio understands the opportunity that’s before him, and we look to come to Canada and Montreal. And we’re going to into Adonis’ hometown. Se konsa,, Mwen te gen, fè sa. You got to go into the lion’s den and take the title. So that’s what we’re working on doing and that’s what we plan on doing.
L. Milner
Great. Mèsi poutèt ou. Okay, we’re going to go ahead and open it up for questions from the media. Operator, ou ka tanpri fè sa?
Q
Adonis, so much talk about you fighting the other light heavyweight champions and who the real light heavyweight champion of the world is. What are your thoughts about these other guys and it is interfering with your concentration for your fight with Sakio on 4yèm avril sou CBS?
Yon. Stevenson
Yeah, Mwen konnen yo te tèlman pale sou sa, men mwen trè konsantre sou Bika kounye a, because Bika is in my face now. I don’t see anybody. I don’t see anybody in my face now. It’s Bika. And I don’t underestimate him, ak mwen se trè prepare pou l '. Mwen pral pare pou l ' 4yèm avril. Se konsa,, konsantre mwen an se sou Bika. Mwen konnen ke yo gen pou anpil moun ap pale ak m 'sou ki jan yo goumen sa a, men mwen trè konsantre sou sa a Guy.
Q
Ki sa ki se pwosedi a pou tès dwòg anvan an 4yèm avril?
Yon. Stevenson
Twa fwa nan fòmasyon an ak yon sèl fwa se sis è in the morning. Se konsa,, they come into the condo and to do a drug test and two times in the training after sparing. I think it’s good for the boxers, to protect them. I’m very glad about that. And when I got to fight, Mwen toujou fè tès la, ou konnen? Se konsa,, li se pa premye fwa mwen fè tès la, but I always to do it. This is fantastic, Mwen renmen ke.
Q
ou panse li te nesesè pou boksè gen ki kalite tès?
Yon. Stevenson
Nan kou li se nesesè paske, se ede ou. Se konsa,, li trè enpòtan a asire w tout bagay pral trè byen. Epi sa a, yon pati nan bòks ak sa a, se evolisyon nan. Mwen trè kontan ak kè kontan ak sipòte ki.
Q
Sakio, ki sa ou panse osijè de sa?
S. Taurus
Mwen panse ke li se yon bagay ki, trè bon paske mwen gen [enkonpreansibl] since I’ve been here. I think it’s good for the new generation. It goes for this sport. Pou m ', Mwen panse ke li se pafè. Li nan pafè paske, pou anpil moun [enkonpreansibl] pran retrèt ou [enkonpreansibl] drug and they never get tested. And now with new generation, Mwen panse ke li trè bon, ou konnen, for younger kids to try to see if they want to win. Once you come in this sport you have to have been clean. Li se yon òganizasyon pafè jwenn moun ki patisipe nan ak tès yo. Li nan bagay la pafè a fè.
Q
Se konsa, tou de nan nou yo pral teste twa fwa, de fwa pandan kan an fòmasyon, yon sèl fwa anvan batay la? Is that correct, mesye?
Yon. Stevenson
Mwen pa konnen pou l ', but for me it’s three time. And we do a piss test, epi nou fè yon tès san, twò.
S. Taurus
Yeah, for me it was three time. Then two blood test–like blood test and piss test. This is the third time them testing me since I was here.
Q
Kesyon an premye ki te mande yo Adonis sou preparasyon pou l 'pou batay la k ap vini epi tou distraksyon nan alantou tout opozan lavni potansyèl, Mwen ta renmen pou li ale nan ajoute kesyon an menm Adonis ankò.
Yon. Stevenson
Ou konnen, ki kalite bagay tankou Bika se sovaj ak te montre li vini–ou konnen, he just keep coming. The kind of stuff like that, I love this kind of stuff because he’s large and keep pressuring. And so, li montre si ou fè yon erè tankou sa Lè sa a, li pral yon pentch trè byento nan batay la.
Q
Kesyon mwen se pou “Sugar” Hill. “Sugar”, Mwen jis vle konnen si ou te kontan ak style la ki te chwazi pou batay kap vini sa a, si sa a se kalite a nan egzamen ou te kap chèche kòm yon antrenè.
S. Hill
Osi lwen ke kap chèche yon style pou Adonis al goumen–and actually it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m happy with the selection of Sakio Bika. I have no problem with his style. I actually like the style because he’s coming forward. He wants to fight, and Adonis loves to fight. Adonis likes to go to toe-to-toe, and he likes to box. This is important for the maturity and, pou Adonis aprann plis sou boksè pou kapab dwe nan l 'ak yon avyon de gè tankou Sakio Bika, ki moun ki nan yon gwo, detèmine ak difisil veteran ki ka kenbe tèt ak. He can take a punch. He’s never been knocked out or anything like that. Se konsa,, sa a se yon opòtinite pou Adonis petèt ale 12 jij oswa nan jij yo pita, ki ka bati ak ajoute nan karyè li kòm goumen nan pita jij, ki li te kapab fè. Sa a batay isit la ak Bika a se yon egzamen, ak Adonis renmen yo dwe fè tès. I love for him to be tested as well. This is the only thing that’s going to make him grow and become more of a talented fighter and become a bigger superstar.
Q
Adonis, yo ou gade nan yon difisil 12 wonn batay oswa ou wè li kòm motivasyon kòm ke yo te premye moun ki frape sa a Guy konnen si ki opòtinite prezante tèt li?
Yon. Stevenson
It is motivation for me. That’s why I train very hard. I know he’s large as well in his punch. And he wants to keep me pressured. I love this kind of style. And if he goes for 12 jij mwen se pare pou 12 jij. I fight and spar. My fight is, limite ak fòmasyon pou 12 rounds.When mwen jwenn nan bag la, M 'ap chache pentch a. I don’t look for the 12 wonn. If he goes the distance or 12 jij, this is not a problem. Mwen kapab bwat. I’m beautiful. I got a good skill. I’m a Superman. Se konsa,, it’s not a problem for me. Men,, first I’m looking for a knockout. And I think any boxer going in the ring to fight always looks for a knockout. Pafwa, it’s not like that. Men,, m ', M 'ap chache pentch a. And Emanuel said knockouts sell.
Q
You said that you weren’t impressed with Kovalev’s performance over Jean Pascal. Do you want to put on a better performance? Do you feel pressure to put on a better performance since you said that? What do you think about that?
Yon. Stevenson
I’m not going to put pressure on myself. “Devni selèb” pa santi presyon. Mwen pral sèvi ak konpetans boksè mwen, ak mwen pral sèvi ak tèt mwen nan bag la. I don’t have to put pressure on something like that. I don’t feel like that. I’m the man. I’m the guy to get beat.
Q
Te Sakio Bika opozan an premye yo ofri w?
Yon. Stevenson
Yeah, it was the first. He was the first to open. We’re happy, and we don’t have a problem. And I know Sakio he was light–pa fè sa, super middleweight champion. It’s very good, paske li se yon boxer bon. He was champion last two fights. That’s a good opportunity for him, twò, yo ale soti nan limyè yon pwa loud al goumen m '. And it’s a good opportunity for me, twò.
Q
Mwen vle mande w nan pwen sa ou te di nan tèt ou, “Mwen gen al goumen,” oswa “Mwen vle goumen Sergey Kovalev inifye tout senti yo nan divizyon an.” At what point did you say that in your career?
Yon. Stevenson
I don’t think about Kovalev now. I think about Bika. It doesn’t matter what I said now because I have a fight coming up with Bika. Men,, si mwen vle pou goumen pou tit, men kounye a–pou kounye a mwen te gen Bika nan figi m '.
Q
Ou pa te enpresyone ak wout la ki Kovalev gade nan batay la lòt semèn nan kont Pascal. Poukisa?
Yon. Stevenson
I’m not impressed by it because this is the first big fight Pascal had since Bernard and he fights one time a year before Bernard Hopkins. Se konsa,, in four years he fights one time. Se konsa,, Se poutèt sa mwen pa enpresyone sou sa, paske Pascal se pa yon boxer aktif tankou li itilize yo dwe tounen nan jou a.
Q
Ou konnen ke Kovalev, because of the WBC is going to be mandatory. I want to know how hard will you press for that mandatory if you’re successful again.
Yon. Stevenson
Natirèlman, Mwen konnen. I’m ready to fight a title. Men,, Mwen kite ekip mwen, Al Haymon, pran swen sou ki. Then after that Kovalev we can unify the title. It’s not a problem for me because the two titles he gets now he gets Bernard Hopkins’ tit, ak mwen ta dwe goumen Bernard Hopkins.
Q
Sa a se yon batay ki k ap pase yo dwe sou televizyon nasyonal nan Etazini yo, free TV. Have you given any thought about the fact that you’ll be performing in front of an audience probably bigger than has ever seen you fight ever?
Yon. Stevenson
Natirèlman. This is a good opportunity for that. And first of all, Mwen vle remèsye Al HAYMON pou sa, twò, paske, that’s him putting on the show. And since Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, back in the day it was free. Koulye a,, we offer the public the fight for free and that’s a great opportunity for me. Se konsa,, I have a good performance for Sakio Bika. Men,, I know Sakio Bika is a tough opponent and he’s very awkward and tough. We’ll prepare for that, epi nou ap pare. Li la tou trè bon pou timoun yo jèn, l ap gade batay la. Li se yon bon opòtinite pou tout moun.
Q
Avèk ki gwo potansyèl gade odyans pa t 'vle mete ou nan yon pozisyon kote ou ap chèche pou yon pentch?
Yon. Stevenson
Natirèlman. That gives me a lot of motivation. That’s why I train really hard for this fight and watch–se konsa moun gade m '. Since Muhammad Ali, I’m the first to be poor and the projects. Se konsa,, Mwen trè, trè kontan, and I’m going to put a good performance. Like Emanuel said, debouchur vann.
Q
Adonis, ki bò ou fòmasyon semèn sa a? Lè sa a,, lè yo ou aktyèlman ale nan Quebec City?
Yon. Stevenson
You know I opened a new gym in Quebec City. This is a good opportunity for me to train in my hometown. This is the first time since 2011. Mwen ka wè jenn ti kabrit mwen, twò. Se konsa,, Mwen renmen ke. And we train very hard, m 'ak antrenè mwen. We put the hard work pay off. This is different. This is a good opportunity for me, e mwen renmen ki.
Q
Se konsa,, w ap nan Quebec City kounye a Lè sa a,?
Yon. Stevenson
I’m in Montreal now. Quebec City, Mwen pral semèn sa a.
Q
Se konsa,, lè ou pral aktyèlman ale nan Quebec City?
Yon. Stevenson
Dimanch.
Q
Yon lòt fwa ankò, my question goes to Adonis. I just want to know if a knockout is the result that you absolutely need or would you be disappointed if you didn’t win by a knockout against Bika?
Yon. Stevenson
I know Bika is a tough opponent. Se konsa,, Mwen prepare pou 12 jij. Si pentch la ki gen la, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. Men,, nan bag la, M 'ap chache pentch a. Se konsa,, li pa gen pwoblèm pou m ', but I’m always looking for the knockout. That’s a Kronk. The Kronk Gym and my team we’re looking for that. Since the Kronk it’s been a while. They’re always looking for the knockout. If you’re training in the Kronk Gym and any fighter is looking for the knockout.
Q
Men,, li kapab danjere nan toujou ap chèche pou yon pentch paske lè sa a, si ou pa jwenn li kòm byen vit ke ou vle Lè sa a, ou ka jwenn lwen style ou nan boksè. Is that something that worries you?
Yon. Stevenson
Nou kapab ale 12 wonn. It’s not a problem for me. We train for that. We train for that. I can go 12 wonn. And I’m from Kronk Gym, Detroit. And this place, nou gen yon bon, bon antrenè tankou Emanuel “Sugar” Hill. They know boxing. They teach me very well my skill and everything and my balance. They know boxing. And so, yo konnen si pentch a se pa la, men nou ap ale nan travay. We’re going to use the good ability to go for 12 jij. It’s not a problem.
Q
Sakio, Mwen jis vle konnen, li montre kouman li santi pou ou nan kan fòmasyon sa a nan tren pou yon batay pwa loud limyè apre li fin depanse bèl anpil tout karyè ou nan yon middleweight super?
S. Taurus
Mwen santi mwen li te yon nouvo defi yo ale leve, li eseye goumen ti towo bèf an gwo. Lè ou wè rejim mwen, pèsonn pa tout tan tout tan vle goumen m '. Li te toujou yon ti jan difisil paske moun pa vle goumen m '. Pou m 'li nan yon defi gwo paske Stevenson, Adonis se yon gwo chanpyon e mwen vle yo vin chanpyon nan mond nan lavi. Mwen trè si mwen ka okipe l '. Epi pou yo rive Avril 4, paske mwen gen yon bon preparasyon, , yon patnè limite gwo, Mwen jis kap pou ou pou w wè ki jan mwen ka okipe ti towo bèf an gwo. Adonis se youn nan premye pou m 'nan sa a pwa, but I just feel confident, Mwen santi mwen pozitif. Mwen pare, ou konnen, ale la epi montre moun ki nan mond lan mwen ka bat Adonis Stevenson sou Avril 4. I want to tell the big bull. I want to move up in light heavyweight division, akAvril 4 moun yo pral yo dwe wè li.
Q
pwa a santi yo pi byen pou ou? Do you see yourself staying at light heavyweight?
S. Taurus
Mwen wè tèt mwen tankou yon pwa loud limyè. Mwen wè tèt mwen nan pwa loud limyè paske ou wè chanpyon mond anpil. For me just it’s just a challenge. I want to challenge myself. Mwen kapab fè limyè lou fasil. It would be a struggle to do super middleweight. Ou konnen, Mwen kapab fè pwa loud limyè reyèlman fasil. Mwen ka okipe ti towo bèf an gwo, paske mwen okipe tout moun. This is a big opportunity for me to try to see if can I handle the big bull. I can handle Adonis. tankou Avril 4, I will try to test myself. You all ready? Mwen pare. Mwen gen yon bon preparasyon,. Nou antrene difisil anpil pou sa a batay. Mwen jis kap pou yo vini nan Quebec ak pran swen nan biznis.
Q
An menm tan an ou te nan batay la Sergey Kovalev / Jean Pascal, epi ou te ale sou nan HBO Reporters nan moman an, Bernard Hopkins, and you told him that you guarantee that you will fight Sergey Kovalev. I wanted to see what your answer was to what you think of Sergey Kovalev and his performance nan Samdilannwit yon koup la wikenn de sa.
Yon. Stevenson
Pascal pa gen pwoblèm kounye a paske nou ap pale de Bika. M 'ale nan goumen Avril 4 ak Bika. Li se yon bagay trè difisil sou Bika ak Kovalev se pa yon moun kounye a lè mwen panse osijè de batay la ak Kovalev ak Pascal ak Lè sa a apre m 'te di, “Oke, yeah, Mwen pral goumen.” He’s not a person for me now. The person now is Bika.
Q
Ou garanti ke batay pwochen ou ta dwe kont Kovalev tounen nan mwa me a ane pase a apre 12 rounds against Fonfara. You beat Fonfara.
Yon. Stevenson
You can’t guarantee. It’s not working like that. It’s not football. It’s not hockey. And one punch can change anything. So now I got Bika in my face, ak mwen trè konsantre ak Bika, because I know this guy gives problems to all the champions. He was champion. And I know this fighter is tough.
L. Milner
Okay. Gentlemen, thank you so much for your time. I think this call really set in motion a great week and a half heading into the fight. Se konsa,, thank you so much. We’re going to switch over to Mr. Beterbiev.
Artur Beterbiev
Mwen renmen fòmasyon mwen, and I am training hard. And it was all planned. Se konsa,, li tout te ale selon plan an. Li se yon opozan ki grav. Mwen pa ka tann yo gen ki te goumen kont.
Q
Artur, you defeated Sergey Kovalev in the amateurs. What do you think of him as far as a professional opponent right now?
Yon. Beterbiev
Lè w ap pran an konsiderasyon tout deklarasyon li ke li dènyèman pwodwi, Mwen ta renmen kontre avè l ', li mete l' tounen nan plas li nan pwofesyonèl.
Q
Ki sa ou sonje sou l 'tankou li yon nèg ki moun ki nan batay ou? What do you remember?
Yon. Beterbiev
Mwen gen yon trè bon memwa. Se konsa,, Mwen t 'bat li byen bat de fwa nan ranje ki amatè, men mwen konsantre plis sou tan kap vini an kounye a. Mwen ta renmen yo bat l 'ankò.
Q
Artur, ou ta ka dekri kouman ou santi ou karyè ou ap moute nan pwen sa a?
Yon. Beterbiev
Mwen renmen fason an Mwen te dirije nan karyè pwofesyonèl mwen. Mwen fòmasyon chak jou epi l ap travay chak jou epi toujou panse sou sa. Mwen toujou eseye amelyore ak amelyore pati pa sa ki fò m ', as part of my preparation.I’m not a future teller. Se konsa,, I’m ready to meet all the solid opponents. And I’m ready for the championship of the world, ak mwen se pare pou nenpòt ki senaryo ka.
Q
Èske gen nenpòt enterè nan ou goumen gayan an nan Stevenson / Bika?
Yon. Beterbiev
Mwen te kapab goumen okenn moun.
Q
Ki sa ou panse nan Campillo ak ki kalite defi Campillo prezante bay ou paske li te gen anpil plis pwofesyonèl eksperyans pase li te gen?
Yon. Beterbiev
Wi, I have a lot of respect for Campillo because he’s very experienced. For sure he has more experience than I do. He has experience winning and losing, epi li se yon advèsè solid, men batay la k ap pase yo montre si lang pwofesyonèl l 'te kapab ede l' nan sa a batay.
Q
Ki sa ou aprann nan men yon knockdown?
Yon Beterbiev
I don’t think that was a knockdown. I just lost my balance for an instant. I recovered right away instantly. But I still think that this is a good lesson for me for this not to happen in the future. And I’m going to try to avoid any dangerous situations in my future.
Q
Ki jan nou wè Campillo, ki kalite yon avyon de gè pou moun, ak ki gen la nenpòt ki pati nan style l '–nenpòt eleman nan style l 'ki ka inkyétant?
Yon. Beterbiev
Sa a se yon opponent.He a solid k ap travay trè byen, very experienced at attack. He’s very experienced at defense. Batay la ki pral montre ki sa ki pral rive.
L. Milner
