Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Public Square in Cleveland:
جايك بول
“I couldn’t have thought about a moment like this. I couldn’t have dreamt it. That’s why I was just looking around. كنت ك, ‘how am I here?’ This is the city that made me and to bring this one home is the perfect crescendo to my boxing career that’s just starting out. Looking around and seeing friends and family, seeing this beautiful city, I’m just having fun. I’m trying to soak it all in because you don’t get moments like this twice in life.
“Tyron said he’s training like he’s fighting Mike Tyson. Floyd Mayweather is training him and you can tell he’s in shape. He’s got the six pack back. He’s looking good. He’s not messing around. This is his biggest fight ever and the whole MMA community is counting on him to represent them and to get the ‘W’. للأسف, that’s not going to happen. And when I beat him, there will be no excuses because he was being trained by Floyd Mayweather. Because Jorge Masvidal said he was going to knock me out. Because he took this camp and had a 14-week camp. He has no excuses.
"أنا أحب الملاكمة. I fell in love with it. There’s something about knocking someone out and cracking someone in the face. My whole life has been a fight. I never got anything handed to me so I feel like I’m at home. I feel like I was put on this earth to fight. And I like challenges. I’m driven by challenges.
“Boxing is a 24-7 وظيفة. The training camp – sleep, أكل, recovery, no partying, no distractions – all of that type of stuff makes it the hardest thing I’ve done in my life. أكثر, the promotional side of it. I’ve probably done 75 interviews in the past three weeks. It’s non-stop.”
تايرون وودلي
"جميع المعسكرات لها مستويات عالية ومنخفضة. عليك أن تقاتل من خلال الشدائد. With me mentally it was a lot easier when we were having fun. لقد كان شغوفًا وكان لديك أشخاص يراقبون كل تحركاتك ويراقبون كل خطوة. أنا ممتن جدا لكل المدربين. لي, هذا مجرد الكثير من المرح. لم أستمتع منذ وقت طويل, أن تكون حقيقية. أحببت هذا المعسكر التدريبي. It was one of my most fun ever.
“I don’t have any issue with Jake Paul. Only issue is he signed the contract. He’s trying his very best to play the mind games. But I’m a man. I don’t play kids’ games.
“There’s a lot of things in MMA you can get away with. In MMA you can make excuses like, ‘Coach, I’ve got to watch out for a kick or get ready for the take takedown.’ So we make all these excuses. None of those excuses are allowed.
“The times I worked with Floyd [مايويذر], he was very vocal. You couldn’t do nothing wrong. And that’s what makes him so great. In MMA we over-do it a lot, but it doesn’t always transition into power. It doesn’t always transition into accuracy. He gave me the foundation of how he beat everyone he did.”
أماندا سيرانو
“Jake Paul is the main event, but he’s not the main attraction. I am going to make sure I steal the spotlight from him and entice people to enjoy female boxing and to understand that women can fight and put on shows, and showcase that we’re deserving of this opportunity.
“It’s a Puerto Rican champion versus a Mexican champion. That’s enough said. She’s young and hungry and wants my titles, but I’ve worked super hard for those titles and it’s not going to be an easy task to take them away from me.
“I bring excitement, knockout power, مهارات, and a great chin as well. I’ve been boxing since I was eighteen years old. Boxing is all I have known. I’ve dedicated and sacrificed my whole life to the sport of boxing.
“I fight for the sport of women’s boxing. It’s not for me, it’s for the future girls coming into the sport.”
أوي BARANCHYK
"أنا متحمس. I’m hungry and I’m ready for the next challenge. He’s never fought anybody like me. He’s never been ten rounds. I’m ready for a long-distance fight.
“Of course he’s going to try to move around a lot and box me. But this is no problem for me. I’ve changed my style a little bit. I will try to show everybody the new Ivan Baranchyk.
“We will see what’s next for me. الآن, I just need to fight Montana Love. We will see what happens after that.”
مونتانا لوف
“There’s a lot of motivation from fighting in my hometown. أنا متحمس جدا. I’m happy to be in this position. It’s very rare that these kinds of events come to Cleveland. I hope there’s more to come. It’s a dream come true to fight in front of thousands of fans. My friends, عائلتي. I get emotional at times being here and having this opportunity is great.
“I just have to be myself on Sunday night. I’ve been doing this since I was five years old. I just have to pull everything out of my arsenal. Hopefully Ivan pushes me. I think he will push me so that I can show the next level.
“I’m just focused on this fight that’s in front of me. My only goal right now is to be victorious on Sunday night. بعد ذلك, we’ll look to do a title eliminator after that and then I’ll fight for a world title.
“I’m expecting Ivan Baranchyk to be wild, عدواني, قوي. With him, it’s not about his skill or anything like that. We expect aggression and wildness.”
دانيال دوبوا
“I want to show that I’m all action. أنا لست رجل من العديد من الكلمات, but when I get in that ring, they’re going to see that I’m the real deal. It’s going to be a devastating performance.
"أنا 23, so with that loss I have just gotten stronger. I’ve had to learn to tighten up my game and that I have flaws, so I’ve just been working on that. This is going to be like my debut.
“I’m full of confidence and I’m ready to go right now. I can make this fight as easy as I want it to be in my opinion. I’m the next one coming through. I’m destined to be a world champion, that’s my goal.”
TOMMY FURY
“This is my first fight in the U.S. But I’m used to it, it’s not my first rodeo because since I was a young kid I watched Tyson fight Klitschko and I’ve always been there on fight week and watched how he handled himself on fight week and thought when my time comes, which is now, I’m going to do the exact same thing. So I flew my team out here and we do what Tyson did, and it’s easy work.
“To be a Fury you grow up to be a fighter, and there’s nothing else. It’s fight, شجار, شجار. As a kid, you don’t do nothing else. It’s fight, شجار, شجار. And that’s all I’ve done my entire life. I’ve been around fighters. Everyone in my family does it and now it’s my time.
“I don’t feel one bit of pressure because there’s only pressure when you try to live up to somebody. I’ve said this time and time again there will never ever be another Tyson Fury. No one will ever come close. I’m only trying to do the best I can do. And as long as I’m being the best version of Tommy Fury, I don’t care about anything else. I’m only trying to do the best that I can do.”
CHARLES CONWELL
“I’m doing this in front of my family and my friends and want to thank everyone for supporting me. It’s going to be a major event.
"[خوان كارلوس روبيو] is an undefeated fighter, 18-0. That means 18 have tried and not succeeded. But on Sunday night it’s a whole different story as he’s fighting a whole different type of fighter he’s never experienced before. There are levels to this boxing game and this one is just going to take me to the top.
"نعم, I think every fight is a level-up fight at this point in my career. I keep getting to fight on bigger and bigger stages.
“I just want to show the fans what good boxing is and to put on a performance that they can remember me for. Whatever that has to be and if it’s a knockout, I’m going to go out there and do it. I’m going out there and risking everything, just like he is
“The local support is amazing for me. I have a lot of people here supporting me. I’m looking to steal the show, every time. I know there are a lot of great fights on this card, but I’m looking to put on a show.”
