JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

“On October 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of," – Heraldez

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV® ActionSaturday, Október 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Október 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis v sobotu, Október 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. When the bell rings, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”

Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 na SHOWTIME. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.

“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,” said Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, technika, ring IQ, atď., so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

Champions Premier Boxerské

NEW YORK – Október 9, 2020 – Former world title challengerDiego Magdalenoshared insights into his training camp as he nears an IBF Lightweight Title Eliminator bout againstIsaac Cruzthat kicks off SHOWTIME PPV (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m.. PT) action on Saturday, Október 31 from the Alamodome in San Antonio in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
 
“This is my second fight working with ‘Bones’ Adams out of his gym in Las Vegas,”Povedala Magdaléna. “I’ve actually known him since I was nine-years-old, so I consider him like my best friend. I trust him with my life. I’ve spent some time training for this fight in Scipio, Utah too, pulling hay bales and doing all sorts of interesting drills. I’ve gotten in some good sparring here in Vegas, and I even went out to California for some sparring, tiež.
 
“I was on one of the last fight cards pre-pandemic, and I’m honored to be on the first fight card with a live crowd since the pandemic began. It’s been a hectic year, but I’m happy with where things are for me heading into this fight. Coach Adams has been doing a great job with training, but he also handles my strength and conditioning. He’s got a huge gym with a lot of motivated fighters and it’s great to be around that kind of atmosphere. And my fiancé has been handling my nutrition for my last four fights. Tak, it’s great to have her involved also.”
 
Magdaleno returns to action after upsetting Austin Dulay in Dulay’s hometown of Nashville, Tenn. vo februári, dropping him in round seven on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision. He credits his team in training camp for the impressive performance against Dulay.
 
“I’ve always taken pride in being a professional, but I learned that I can be very dangerous with the right team around me,”Povedala Magdaléna. “I went into that fight kind of being considered a steppingstone for Dulay, but I showed that I’m still a strong fighter. People counted me out and they made a mistake. I’m just super happy that I found Coach Adams and got a proper team organized around me. I was able to change people’s minds with just one fight. Now I’m in a title eliminator, and with a win on October 31, I’ll have my third shot at a world title.”
 
The 33-year-old has come up short in his most high-profile fights to date, dropping title bouts to Terry Flanagan and Roman Martinez, in addition to a 2019 loss against current lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. With those experiences and an improved training structure around him, Magdaleno believes the lessons he’s taken from those fights will be instrumental going forward.
 
“The biggest thing that I’ve learned is to stay calm,”Povedala Magdaléna. “When I start thinking too far ahead, that’s when things go wrong. Coach Adams has a great way of keeping me grounded and composed. He knows how to simplify things for me and communicate exactly what I need to do, which makes it less stressful for me. And we’ve done some other things, like correcting my footwork and the angles that I use.”
 
In the 22-year-old Cruz, Magdaleno will be opposed by a fast-rising and exciting Mexican fighter looking to make a mark in his biggest fight to date. With an 11-year age gap, Magdaleno plans to use his extensive experience to his advantage on October 31.
 
“Cruz is something I’ve seen before,”Povedala Magdaléna. “I’ve fought lots of Mexican-style fighters like him who don’t have a lot of technical skill but possess a come-forward style. Tak, I think I’ll be able to go back to what I know. I’ll just have to stay fluid and pick Cruz apart. He’s a guy who likes to fight on the inside and throw lots of overhand punches and hooks. I’ll break him down like I did my last opponent.”
 
Magdaleno will look to continue his career renaissance against Cruz and put himself back on track for another world title opportunity. With all that he’s been through during his career, Magdaleno remains highly motivated to prove critics wrong and achieve his goal of becoming a world champion.
 
“What I know is that when everyone counts you out, you just have to believe in yourself,”Povedala Magdaléna. “When I decide to hang up the gloves, it’ll be because I want to, not because others say I should. I have my confidence back now and I’m very happy with where I’m going
. Being one shot away from the title that I dreamed of as a child is a huge motivating factor for me. And I fight for my family, tiež. I’m a different person now. I’m more mature and I think I’ll be able to prove that to people in this fight.”

SERGEY LIPINETS TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

“I’ll have a plan for whatever he brings to the table and get the win however I have to!"

Former World Champion Lipinets Battles Unbeaten
Kudratillo Abdukakhorov for Interim IBF Welterweight Title
Naživo na SHOWTIME® Sobota, Október 24 Headlining a
Premier Boxing Champions Event

NEW YORK – Október 8, 2020 – Bývalý majster sveta Sergey Lipinets has not let anything, be it the pandemic or a change in fight date, distract him from preparations for his battle against unbeaten Kudratillo Abdukakhorov,as they fight for interim IBF Welterweight Title headlining action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Október 24 (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m.. PT) in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

“I took the change in date like a champion, and I’ll do the same thing on October 24 that I would have done on October 10,” said Lipinets. “I’m very strong mentally, so there’s really no issue with the timing change. Training camp has been going great and I’m 100% ready for this one. I’ve been working with Joe Goossen and sparring with a lot of great fighters including Rashidi Ellis and Ronald Cruz.”

The 31-year-old Lipinets credits the renowned coach Goossen for the level of performance he has shown in the ring in the two years that they’ve worked together. The union between Lipinets and Goossen followed Lipinets’ run at 140-pounds, which saw him defeat Akihiro Kondo for the IBF Super Lightweight Championship on SHOWTIME in 2017 before losing the title by decision to Mikey Garcia the following year.

“My progression is totally attributed to working with Joe Goossen,” said Lipinets. “It’s like going from a high school education, then to college, and now I feel like I’m in graduate school. I’ve learned more with Joe than in all my previous time in the sport.

“Joe Goossen has taught me a lot about the short game and working on the inside. He’s also helped me with my lateral movement and made me way more durable. That’s all combined with my power increasing at 147 libier. I’m ready to show all of it on October 24.”

Lipinets added two knockout victories to his ledger in 2019. In March he stopped two-division champion Lamont Peterson in a memorable firefight before blasting out Jayar Inson in the second-round in July. A win on October 24 not only puts Lipinets in line for the winner of the matchup between IBF and WBC Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr. and two-division champion Danny Garcia, but also will help solidify his spot amongst the best in the star-studded 147-pound weight class. Avšak, these potential high-profile matchups don’t take anything away from his focus heading into his upcoming fight.

“I don’t really think about the other top welterweight fighters like Errol Spence Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter or Terence Crawford,” said Lipinets. “In order to get to them, I have to win on October 24. Then everything else will fall into place. The top guys will fight me when they have to. That’s been the story of my career. Nobody has fought me because they wanted to, but usually because they had to.”

The unbeaten Abdukakhorov presents a challenge that Lipinets embraces. Abdukakhorov enters this fight after a victory over former champion Luis Collazo in addition extensive amateur experience that Lipinets knows will make him a formidable opponent when they square off October 24.

“Nobody is at the top of the IBF rankings for nothing,” said Lipinets. “Abdukakhorov had a successful amateur career with a lot of fights. He moves fast and knows his way around the ring. I know he’s tough, strong and he’ll do his best to stay in there with me. But I’m going to box him, fight at a distance if I have to, and pile up points against him. I expect a great fight. I’ll have a plan for whatever he brings to the table and get the win however I have to!"

The 27-year-old made his U.S. debut last March, defeating former title challenger Keita Obara by unanimous decision. Abdukakhorov followed that up with a wide technical decision triumph over former champion Luis Collazo last October.

A Mayweather Promotions prospect from Sacramento, Calif., Martínez (15-0, 11 KO) has trained for this fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. alongside three-time champion Gervonta Davis.

The former interim featherweight champion Marrero (24-4, 17 KO) will move up to the 130-pound division after a long run at 126-pounds that saw him face a slew of contenders and rising prospects. Representing Santo Domingo, Dominikánska republika, Marrero captured his interim title in April 2017 with a first round knockout over then unbeaten Carlo Zambrano. The 31-year-old also owns a first-round stoppage of then unbeaten Jorge Lara in April 2018 and a decision victory over featherweight contender Eduardo Ramirez last June.

Another rising prospect in the Mayweather Promotions stable, Hawkins (18-0, 11 KO), fights out of Baltimore, Maryland and is trained by Gervonta Davis’ coach Calvin Ford. The 24-year-old most recently triumphed over then unbeaten Darwin Price in December by fifth-round TKO. Hawkins was busy in 2019, picking up five victories in total following a 2018 campaign that saw him earn his first 10-round decision win by beating Raymond Serrano.

V tej dobe, he became the youngest world champion in boxing at age 22. V kruhu, Davis blends controlled aggression with blazing hand and foot speed, eye-catching power and sublime boxing skills. The dynamic combination of skills has made Davis a fan-favorite who filled arenas in Atlanta, Ga., and his hometown of Baltimore, Md., vlani.

Davis closed out the year by capturing his lightweight title via 12th round TKO of former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in December.

Pod vedením spoločnosti Mayweather Promotions, Davis sa bude usilovať o ďalšie zdokonalenie svojho pôsobivého portfólia ďalším výkonom, ktorý získal titul v rámci svojej prvej hlavnej udalosti s platbami za prehliadku.

Boj z Los Angeles, Santa Cruz (37-1-1, 19 KO) debutoval v mušej váhe minulý rok v novembri porazením Miguela Floresa pri zisku titulu WBA. Santa Cruz sa v tomto športe preslávil zapojením do mnohých súťaží Fight of the Year, vrátane dvoch napínavých duelov o titul mušej váhy proti štvornásobnému šampiónovi Abnerovi Marešovi a dvojdivízovému šampiónovi Carlovi Framptonovi. Prvý titul v mušej váhe stratil vo svojom prvom zápase proti Framptonu v roku 2016, ale kultivovali to vo svojej odvete v nasledujúcom roku.

Tento 32-ročný mladík nastúpil v bojoch o titul v 17 z jeho poslednej 19 boja, pri zdvíhaní pásov o 118, 122, 126 a 130 libier. Vďaka titulu 130 libier bol Santa Cruz iba piatym bojovníkom mexického pôvodu, ktorý získal tituly v štyroch hmotnostných triedach, nástup k Oscarovi De La Hoyovi, Erik Morales, Jorge Arce a Mikey Garcia. Santa Cruz bol s týmto športom oboznámený a počas svojej kariéry ho trénoval jeho otec Jose, spolu s jeho bratmi Jose Armandom, bývalý ľahký uchádzač, a Antonio. Santa Cruz sa bude vo svojom prvom headlineri s platbami za prezretie považovať za šampióna piatich divízií.

25-ročný Barrios (25-0, 16 KO) uskutoční prvú obhajobu svojho titulu majstra sveta v rodnom San Antoniu. Barrios vo svojom poslednom zápase v septembri získal svoj 140-librový titul 2019, získanie tvrdo vybojovaného jednomyseľného rozhodnutia nad vtedy neporazeným Batyrom Achmedovom, dropping him twice and fighting through a cut suffered on a head butt. Barrios trains in Oakland, Kalif. under the guidance of renowned coach Virgil Hunter. The five-foot ten-inch Barrios debuted as a super bantamweight in 2013, eventually moving up to 140-pounds full time in 2017 where he is 8-0 with seven knockouts.

“The long layoff is finally over and fans can expect to see me go to war with Ryan Karl, who I know is coming to bring an aggressive fight to the table,” said Barrios. “I’ve stayed in great shape during this past year, so now it’s time for me to keep giving boxing fans exciting fights. I’ll be representing my city of San Antonio and as always, everyone can expect to see me as explosive as ever. Októbra 31, all the fans watching on pay-per-view will watch me make a statement as I defend my title.”

Born in Milano, Texas and now trained in Houston under the tutelage of top trainer Ronnie Shields, Karl (18-2, 11 KO) will step in for his first title opportunity on October 31. The 28-year-old enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, with all three wins coming in 2019, including a knockout of Kevin Watts to avenge one of his losses in an immediate rematch. Karl also owns victories over Kareem Martin and then-unbeaten Jose Felix Quezada during his pro career that dates back to 2014.

“I’ve been training for this my whole life and I’m not going to let it slip away,” said Karl. “We’re working hard in training camp to put on the best performance of my career. Vieme, proti čomu stojíme v Mario Barrios, ale prišiel som príliš ďaleko, aby som 31. októbra túto príležitosť nevyužil naplno. “

Základ elity s hmotnosťou 140 libier, PROGRAMY (24-1, 20 KO) sa vracia do ringu po strate titulu v vzrušujúcom strete zjednotenia rozhodnutím väčšiny z minulého októbra proti Joshovi Taylorovi. 31-ročný hráč vyhral svoj titul tým, že v apríli porazil Kiryl Relikh od TKO 2019 a taktiež si vyslúžil medzičasové víťazstvá nad bývalým zjednoteným šampiónom Juliusom Indongom, a vtedajší neprekonaní uchádzači Joel Diaz ml. a Juan Jose Velasco. Prograis sa narodil v New Orleans, ale žije a bojuje mimo Houstonu.

"Je to obrovský boj a som PBC veľmi vďačný za to, že mi dal túto príležitosť.","Povedal Prograis. "Rok som nebojoval a odvtedy som urobil veľa sebareflexie a prešiel som z L. A.. späť do Texasu. Som sústredenejší, než som kedy bol, a nemôžem sa dočkať, až sa vrátim na svoje prvé miesto v superľahkej divízii. Musím byť opäť majstrom sveta a neprestanem, kým sa tak nestane. “

Tridsaťročný Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KO) sa môže v októbri presadiť medzi najlepšími kandidátmi na 140 libier s najlepším víťazom v kariére nad Prograis 31. Narodený v Northridge, CAL. a tréning v telocvični Mayweather Promotions v Las Vegas, Heraldez naposledy bojoval o väčšinovú remízu vlani v máji proti bývalému šampiónovi Argenisovi Mendezovi. Heraldez’s pro career has also seen him score victories over previously unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego and tough contender Eddie Ramirez.

“It’s been a crazy year, but I took this opportunity to spend time with my family and sharpen my skills inside the ring,” said Heraldez. “There’s been a lot of great sparring happening at the Mayweather Boxing Club that I’ve taken advantage of. Mám ťažký súper predo mnou, and that’s my only focus right now. I trust in my ability as a fighter and I trust my team to get me over the finish line with a victory on October 31. I’m thankful to Mayweather Promotions for putting me on such a large platform for this fight.”

"Odkedy som začal boxovať.", bolo mojím snom bojovať na tejto scéne v Spojených štátoch,"Povedal Cruz. "Viem, že Diego Magdaleno je veľmi tvrdý a skúsený bojovník.", ale je môj čas v októbri 31. Fanúšikovia uvidia, že mám na to byť majstrom sveta, keď porazím Magdalénu a vyhlásim sa za jednu z najlepších ľahkých váh na svete. “

Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KO) vstupuje do tohto zápasu v dôsledku pôsobivého víťazstva nad uchádzačom Austinom Dulayom vo februári, ktoré ho videlo zhodiť Dulaya na ceste k jednomyseľnému rozhodnutiu. Tridsaťtriročný muž vyzval Romana Martíneza na titul s hmotnosťou 130 libier a Terryho Flanagana na ľahkú korunu., a zároveň vo februári bojoval s šampiónom ľahkej váhy Teofimom Lopezom 2019. Rodák z Las Vegas, Magdaleno zvíťazila v bojoch štyri z piatich, ktoré vstupovali do októbra 31, vrátane desaťkolového rozhodnutia nad Arťomom Hovhannisyanom.

"Od posledného vystúpenia som sa veľmi tešil na návrat do ringu.",”Povedala Magdaléna. "Táto výhra vo mne rozpálila oheň a dostala ma tak motivovanou, ako som kedy bola.". Teraz, keď som v eliminátore titulu, O to viac sa teším na návrat k akcii. Stretávam sa s ďalším mladým levom, ale chýbajú mu skúsenosti, ktoré mám. Vďaka tréningu s Bonesom Adamsom sa v mojej kariére zmenil svet. Urobil som prechod na to, aby som bol v kruhu vyrovnanejší a inteligentnejší. Som tu, aby som urobil vyhlásenie a tvrdil, čo je moje. Nikdy sa nevrátim späť, kým nezískam titul majstra sveta. “

JEISON ROSARIO: „BOJOVÉ VENTILÁTORY SA ZÁSTUPUJÚ V SEPTEMBRI 26!"

Šampión 154 libier WBA a IBF Rosario Battles WBC
Šampión super welterovej váhy Jermell Charlo túto sobotu,
Septembra 26 V hlavnom ťahu historického zjednotenia, druhá časť,
CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, PREHLIADKA PPV® Udalosť
Predstavovaný Premier majstrov v boxe

NEW YORK – Septembra 22, 2020 – Šampión WBA a IBF s hmotnosťou 154 libier Jeison Rosario uviedol svoj úmysel ísť si päsť s šampiónom WBC Super Welterweight Jermell Charlo keď sa stretnú túto sobotu, Septembra 26 žiť na SHOWTIME PPV (7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m.. PT) v hlavnej udalosti druhej časti CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, v podaní Premier Boxing Champions.

"Fanúšikovia zápasu budú mať 26. septembra vojnu," uviedol Rosario. "Charlo a ja sme dvaja z najväčších útočníkov v divízii.". Obaja bojujeme s veľkou hrdosťou. Sme dvaja veľmi agresívni bojovníci, ktorí chcú bojovať uprostred ringu, ideme teda do akcie a urobíme z nej epickú vojnu. “

Dvadsaťpäťročný Rosario má za sebou hladké sústredenie na najväčší boj v kariére, napriek pandémii, počas tréningu v Miami, Fla. so svojím trénerom Luisom „Chiro“ Pérezom.

"Aj za normálnych okolností.", bývame v dome výcvikového tábora sami, takže toto bolo len o tom istom,”Povedal Rosario. "Neexistuje žiadna rodina a žiadni outsideri.". Nie je to nič iné ako tréning. Vieme, že čelíme silným, výbušný protivník, takže sme počas tohto 16-týždňového tábora urobili všetko, aby sme sa na neho pripravili. Priviedli sme skvelých sparingpartnerov podobného štýlu ako Charlo’s, takže som na neho pripravený tak dobre, ako len môžem. “

Rosario sa vracia do ringu po januárovom víťazstve nad Julianom Williamsom, ktoré zmenilo kariéru, v ktorom zastavil Williamsa, aby získal svoje tituly WBA a IBF. Napriek senzačnému víťazstvu, Rosario vie, že Charlo bude čeliť iným výzvam, ako čelil postaveniu sa proti Williamsu.

"Myslím si, že Williams bol pravdepodobne technicky zručnejší.", a bolo ťažšie zasiahnuť, pretože veľmi zmenil svoje uhly,”Povedal Rosario. "Charlo je silnejší.", väčší dierovač, a myslím si, že je atletickejší bojovník ako Williams. Pripravujeme sa na najlepšieho Charla a vieme, že to znamená, že musíme byť tiež v tom najlepšom. “

Pred bojom Williamsu, Rosario začal pracovať v Pereze prvýkrát, a on túto prácu pripíše, prvý „skutočný výcvikový tábor“ v jeho kariére, k jeho najlepšiemu výkonu v kariére proti Williamsu.

„Školenie s trénerom Pérezom viedlo k mnohým vylepšeniam a umožnilo mi naplno využiť môj potenciál,”Povedal Rosario. „Moje tábory pre boj s Williamsom a s Charlom sú prvými skutočnými tréningovými tábormi v mojej kariére. Potom, čo som bojoval s Jorge Cota, Vedel som, že musím urobiť zmeny a byť viac oddaný.

"Teraz pre mňa neexistujú žiadne rozptýlenia ani výhovorky.". Lepšia strava, Lepšiu kondíciu a sústredenejší tréning všetko zohralo úlohu pri týchto zmenách. Pre tento boj, Budem ešte silnejší, ako som bol proti Williamsu. Moje telo nebolo v skutočnosti zvyknuté na výcvikový tábor, ktorý sa zúčastňoval tohto boja. Moje telo reaguje ešte lepšie po mojom druhom 16-týždňovom tréningovom tábore. “

Zdraví zo Santo Dominga, Dominikánska republika, ohnisko bejzbalového talentu, ktoré prinieslo známe mená ako David Ortiz, Albert Pujols a Manny Ramirez, Rosario sa rýchlo stal bojovou pýchou ostrova. Jeho skúsenosti s tým, ako dieťa vyrastal na ulici, ho motivovali, aby dosiahol tento bod, aj keď nie vždy videl, ako dosahuje tento vrchol v športe.

"Bojujem s veľkou hrdosťou a emóciami.",”Povedal Rosario. "Snažím sa byť sám sebou.", ale chcem tiež čo najlepšie reprezentovať Dominikánsku republiku. Bojujem za svoje deti a svoju krajinu a všetko to nechávam v ringu. Jednou z mojich najväčších motivácií bolo pre mňa moje ekonomické postavenie v detstve. Bývanie na ulici ako dieťa, boli sme veľmi chudobní. Nechcel som, aby to moje deti prežili, takže to nakŕmilo môj hlad, aby som zabezpečil svoju rodinu a staral sa o ňu najlepšie, ako viem.

"Vždy som vedel, že môžem byť dobrý.", ale nikdy som si nepredstavoval, že budem v tejto pozícii. Božie načasovanie je perfektné. Všetko prišlo, keď sa malo. Mal som veľké šťastie a dostal som príležitosti v pravý čas. S trénerom Pérezom som začal trénovať v pravý čas. Boj Williamsov som dostal v pravý čas a príležitosť som využil naplno. Teraz, sme tu a máme šancu zjednotiť rozdelenie, a verím septembru 26 will be my time.”
