Here’s a quick question and answer session through an interpreter after visiting with Bivol at the apartment where he has been residing for the past five weeks in the heart of Hollywood.
درخواست: به طور کلی, how would you assess how your training camp went?
گاو وحشی: “I think that training camp went very good. One of the reasons I decided to come to Southern California to train was that there are so many different sparring partners here. We had a very spirited camp and I consider myself ready for the fight.”
درخواست: What kind of fight do you expect from such a strong opponent as Samuel Clarkson?
گاو وحشی: “I’m expecting for him to get in the ring and push himself and come forward. I know he’ll come out aggressive and try to put the pressure on me. We’ll see.”
درخواست: You are young and have only nine pro fights, but are already fighting to defend an interim world title. Are you happy with the way your pro career has started?
گاو وحشی: “To be honest, I don’t really ever think about the belt and the interim title. For me the main WBA belt is the most important one and I want to stay at the top of the rankings to get it. As far as my career going too fast, I don’t believe so. I think I have more than enough experience in the amateurs and that I’ve aligned myself with the best trainer and sparring partners out there. So I’m happy where my career is at right now. I don’t think it’s progressing too fast.”
درخواست: There are some that are picking this fight as 50/50? Why do you think they are predicting this fight can go either way?"
گاو وحشی: “This is boxing and I think there are a lot of fights that are 50/50. هر چیزی می تواند رخ دهد. You never know; upsets can happen at any time. For me this is step-up fight. Not only because of how good my opponent is, but also because of what it means to me. Winning this fight will open the door to many opportunities.”
درخواست: How important is it to put on a good show and put on an exciting performance fighting in your first main event on SHOWTIME?
گاو وحشی: “Sure everything is amped up a little bit more because it’s on SHOWTIME. But every time I step into the ring I want to put on a good show for the fans. این بار, probably a little bit more so, but the most important thing is to get the win.”
درخواست: Is there one weaknesses you have worked on during this training camp?
گاو وحشی: “I don’t think there are any weaknesses, so it’s been like any other training camp. I can’t talk about what I’ve been preparing for from my opponent. You will have to wait and see it in the ring.”
درخواست: What do you think about training in Southern California?
گاو وحشی: “I love everything about it. The best thing though is the weather. In my hometown city in Russia, سنت. پترزبورگ, we don’t have weather like this. I like the atmosphere here and the people and where we train. I just like it all.”
درخواست: You have a large collection of amateur medals. Where are they displayed?
گاو وحشی: “I keep them all in one place in my parents’ home. We don’t think we deserve them all. It is something they are very proud of.”
درخواست: What do you think about the other top Russian boxers like Ruslan Provodnikov and Sergey Kovalev?
گاو وحشی: “I respect them all. There are some that are very famous in Russia, but also very famous here. And I see that. They are really good fighters and I’m ready to be at that same level, if not even at a higher level. I’m not in this sport just to stay in shape, I’m here to show and prove that I can be the best in the world.”
