We got very good camp. अब, we start a sparring session. तपाईं थाह, मेरो वजन राम्रो छ. My training’s–all trainings are good. I spent two weeks in Houston. I’m trained there, पनि. Then I’m back to Chicago. We finished camp here. And I’m–तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, म रिंग मा भेला Chavez लागि तयार छु अप्रिल 18र म राम्रो बक्सर छु उहाँलाई देखाउन.

And that being said, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, जुलाई धेरै छ, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. अनि अहिले, हामी पोखरी तेहो मा छौं, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — म सिर्फ तिमीलाई यो गर्न सक्छन् — यो लडाइँ गर्न धेरै समर्पित छ, मानसिक, शारीरिक, and spiritually. He’s shown me that he’s willing to work very hard for this fight, which always works out well when a fighter cooperates in training. And he’s doing that 110 प्रतिशत. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, नम्बर एक, Julio जूनियर संग काम. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. अनि पाठ्यक्रम, I know his father very well. And I’m very honored to be a part of the team. And I can’t wait ’til अप्रिल 18 to display all of Julio’s talents and to go there. And we’ve got one objective. And that’s to win the fight. With the way Julio’s training, I’m very confident in what we’re doing right now. त्यसैले, I’m very happy with that. And I’m sure Andrzej’s doing the same thing, training very hard. कि भन्यो जा संग, धन्यवाद.

K. Swanson

धन्यवाद. अब, शमू Colonna, तपाईं हामीलाई टिप्पणी दिन सक्छ, र त्यसपछि हामी प्रश्न लागि खोल छौँ.

शमू Colonna

खैर, पहिलो, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. तर, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, तिनीहरूले लडाइँ गर्न Julio Cesar Chavez उठाया अघि, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, 'के Julio Cesar Chavez बारेमा,’ म भने, ‘That’s the fight we want.’ The style is perfect for us. He comes right at us. And it’s going to be a great fight for Andrzej to show what the power and the dedication he has towards it. He knows that this fight here is going to bring him to the top. And it’s an honor to fight Julio Cesar Chavez. It’s somebody I wanted him to fight for years. But the weight was never the same. Andrzej moved up. And then now, it’s perfect. त्यसैले, यो एक ठूलो लडाई हुन जा गर्नुपर्छ. I think we’re going to bring a lot of action to this fight. And it’s going to be a jammed action fight. I’m glad that this fight happened. And I can’t wait for अप्रिल 18.

K. Swanson

ठीक. धन्यवाद. अनि अहिले, पछिल्लो तर कम से कम, म Julio Cesar Chavez सीनियर देखि एक जोडी टिप्पणी प्राप्त गर्न चाहन्छु. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. जुलाई?

Julio Cesar Chavez सीनियर.

I didn’t want this fight. म थाहा, मेरो छोरा लागि, I know it’s a hard fight. It’s a difficult fight. And I didn’t want it. Fonfara is very strong. But my son wanted this fight. He wanted fighters that have a high category. He wanted a hard fight. And he believed that winning this fight will give him more credibility. And that’s why he chose Fonfara.

Q

This is for Chavez Jr. जुलाई, तपाईं एक वर्ष layoff बन्द आउँदै लाग्छ कसरी?

जे. Cesar Chavez जूनियर.

म राम्रो महसुस. म तिमी देखि छौं जब गाह्रो छ थाहा. यो आफ्नो समय पुनः प्राप्त गर्न कठिन छ. तर म प्रशिक्षण भएको छु, working at my skills. And I think, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, म बक्सिङ मा सबै मेरो जीवन बिताएका छन् किनभने म धेरै विश्वस्त छु. म मेरो व्यावसायिक क्यारियर को 13 औं वर्ष मा छु. यो लडाइँ छ, त्यसैले म यस समस्या हो छैन 172 पाउण्ड. I don’t need to have a problem with weight. And at 172, I feel good in sparring. I feel good in training. And I think I’m ready for this fight and ready to win another world title.

Q

त्यस संसारमा शीर्षक को कुरा, तपाईं अदोनिस स्टीवेंसन र सेर्गेई कोवालेव जस्तै मान्छे कस्तो लाग्छ कसरी?

जे. Cesar Chavez जूनियर.

ओह, these guys very strong. But I think, यो लडाइँ पछि, म तल लागिरहेको छु 168 र यो वजन वर्ग मा रहन. एक वा दुई वर्ष पहिले म उत्प्रेरित 175 तर यो मेरो शरीर लागि पनि धेरै थियो. अब, म छु 168. तर, एक वर्ष बन्द लागि, यो लडाइँ छ 172.

Q

Andrzej, तपाईं कसरी शारीरिक अदोनिस स्टीवेंसन युद्धमा बन्द आउँदै महसुस गर्छन्?

एक. Fonfara

म म एक लडाकू थियो कि againstStevenson देखाए विचार. शारीरिक, म अब राम्रो महसुस. कि झगडा हुँदा, I’ve been training much harder. म विचार, कि झगडा को कारण, म एक राम्रो बक्सर किनभने छु, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, म यो लडाइँ लागि कठिन प्रशिक्षित छु, जस्तै, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, Chavez says. He’s trained hard for this fight. But I always train hard. It doesn’t matter if it’s Chavez or whoever else, म सधैं कडा प्रशिक्षण छु.

Q

यो दुवै Julio जूनियर लागि छ. and Sr. For Jr., जाहिर, एक लाभ र शायद एक दोष त्यहाँ, पनि, to having such a famous name. Benefit is that everybody knows your father and what he accomplished. And that brings you attention early in your career as it has. The possible drawback is that you’re always going to be compared to him, केही भन्नुहुन्छ, जो लगभग एक असम्भव थियो, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, कुन कुरा, बोझ र यस्तो प्रसिद्ध नाम भएको लाभ?

जे. Cesar Chavez जूनियर.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. तर, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, म यस एक फाइदा विचार. तर यस रिंग मा मलाई मदत गर्दैन. म रिंग मा साबित छु. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, नम्बर दुई, नम्बर तीन र नम्बर चार मा 168 पाउण्ड. अनि म सबैलाई देखाए छु, मानिसहरूलाई, म संघर्ष गर्न सक्छौं कि, पनि. म एक असल लडाकु छु र (म राम्रो झगडे धारण). अनि जस्तै मान्छे मेरो लडाइँ देख्न. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, पनि, Fonfara को शैली लड्न आएको छ, he’s a fighter with a great heart and great chin. And both of us will make a great fight.

जे. Cesar Chavez क्रम.

The name has helped. स्पष्ट, यो ध्यान प्राप्त मदत गर्नुपर्छ, but we are very different. उहाँले — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. And so, there’s a lot of difference. शारीरिक, he’s a lot bigger than I was. त्यसैले, असल र खराब त्यहाँ, and we understand that. तर, उनले म थियो मन आफ्नै लडाकू छ.

Q

छु, you mentioned earlier that you had a lot of names mentioned for Andrzej before you finally settled on Chavez. Are you willing to reveal some of those names?

एस. स्तम्भ

तपाईं के ठेगाना? I really don’t have them right in front of me. तर, त्यहाँ थिए कम्तीमा तीन, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, म जाने, 'यो हामीले चाहेको मान्छे हो,’ किनभने, जस्तै म पहिले भने, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ? He’s going to be right there for us. त्यसैले, शैली साँच्चै छ, साँच्चै मिश्रित राम्रो.

Q

Andrzej, तपाईं middleweight मा लडेको छु, सुपर middleweight, प्रकाश हैवीवेट. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, वा के तपाईं एक साँचो ज्योति दिग्गज छौं लाग्छ?

एक. Fonfara

म एक ज्योति दिग्गज लडाकु छु. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. म सामान्यतया लडने 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, जस्तै, दुई, किनभने तल तीन पाउण्ड, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, म मे मा गत वर्ष स्टीवेंसन युद्ध गर्दा, म थियो 173 त्यसपछि. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

Q

जुलाई जूनियर, तपाईं अन्तमा एक वर्ष पछि लड्न लागि यो कसरी एक राहत धेरै छ? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. त्यसैले, तपाईंलाई थाहा लागि यो महसुस गर्नुहुन्छ तपाईं कसरी अन्त अगाडी एक लड्न छ?

जे. Cesar Chavez जूनियर.

म राम्रो महसुस. म ठूलो महसुस, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, because this problem offended me a lot mentally more than physically. But I’m really happy that this problem is better now. I have a fight in front of me. And you know, I’m not remembering anything about that. I’m just focusing on the fight अप्रिल 18 Fonfara लागि. म राम्रो महसुस, म ठूलो महसुस. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (तर म फर्केपछि हुन धेरै उत्साहित छु) रिंग गर्न.

Q

जो Goossen, Julio Cesar को कौशल को जो ज्योति दिग्गज विभाजन लागि सबै भन्दा राम्रो अनुवाद छन्?

जे. Goossen

खैर, पहिलो बन्द, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. म अर्थ, we’ve seen him box before. And we’ve seen him pressure before. I don’t want to tip my hand on what we’re going to do but we have studied the films. We’ve talked about the films of Andrzej. अनि पाठ्यक्रम, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — मूलतः, 172 is very close to 68. It’s a weight he’s fought at before. So I don’t think the weight is going to be a problem at all. The way he’s working right now and the weight he’s at right now, म हामी मारा गर्न सक्षम हुन जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ विचार 172 mark quite easily. तर, फेरि, as far as what skills he has that we’re going to bring to the table is something that I think is private to us. But Julio Jr. is a multi-talented fighter. Just watching him spar yesterday, हामी एक बक्स चाहिएको बेला, he did it beautifully. And when we needed pressure in a few rounds, he pulled it off exactly how I like it. So I’m very confident that whatever style we bring and game plan we bring, हामी यो संग सफल हुन जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ.

Q

तपाईं वजन बनाउन सक्नुहुन्छ?

जे. Cesar Chavez जूनियर.

हो. Sure. I’ll make 172 म तिर्न किनभने $100,000 एक पाउन्ड प्रति (म छैन भने). म मुद्रा को छ कि प्रकारको तिर्न सक्दैन. म भन्दा तौल कहिल्यै छु 172 एक लडाई मा. म बनाए मात्र लडाई 172 ब्रायन वेरा छ, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, मेरा सबै प्रतियोगिता bouts मा (म वजन बनाएन कहिल्यै). म तपाईंलाई सोध्न किन थाहा छैन. ठीक. Maybe, म एक ठूलो लडाकु छु, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ? I know I am a bigger fighter. तर, म समस्या छैन. र (त्यो गर्नुहुन्छ भने) वजन बनाउन, शायद म जीत छौँ $100,000 अधिक.

Q

त्यसैले, जुलाई, तपाईं आशा छौं $100,000 Andrzej Fonfara देखि, तर तिनले आशा हुँदैन भनेर भन्नुभएको $100,000 तपाईं देखि?

जे. Cesar Chavez जूनियर.

के छैन, के छैन. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, किनभने (म हल्का मा आएको). तपाईं थाह, वजन म दुवै लडाकूह को धेरै राम्रो विचार छ.

Q

तपाईं आफ्नो कुना मा जो Goossen छ आफ्नो निर्णय कुरा गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ, तपाईं महसुस, वेरा लडाई को एक परिणाम रूपमा, तपाईं एक प्रदर्शन प्रशंसक ऋणी कि?

जे. Cesar Chavez जूनियर.

खैर, I’ve known Joe Goossen for a long time. He’s a great trainer. He’s a great person. He’s somebody that motivates fighters. And we have a true connection. We’ve connected again. And I like him a lot. I like that he’s a hard worker, just like me. And I think, सँगै, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, म तपाईंलाई बताउन सक्छन्, this show is for the people. यो एक ठूलो लडाइँ हुन गइरहेको गर्नुपर्छ. It’s going to be a better fight. अनि अहिले, मेरो नयाँ पदोन्नति कम्पनी र मेरो विपक्षी अग्रिम मा हुन गइरहेको छ जो बुझेकोले, म यो एक ठूलो रात हुन गइरहेको गर्नुपर्छ विचार.
