We will also have Artur Beterbiev later. His opponent is training in Spain. Allura, he will not be joining us. Iżda, first let’s get some opening comments from the fighters and their trainers. Adonis, kieku inti tagħtina xi ftit ta 'informazzjoni dwar kif l-taħriġ għaddej jwassal fil-ġimgħa ġlieda ġimgħa d-dieħla?
Adonis Stevenson
Grazzi għall kollha l-midja. Nixtieq nirringrazzja Al Haymon, manager tiegħi, great job. This is a good person for me and fight on CBS since like ’80 like Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali. You know, 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. “Zokkor” Hill, inti tista 'żżid xi ħaġa għal dik dwar taħriġ jew kummenti dwar kif Adonis qed tagħmel fil-kamp?
“Zokkor” Hill
The training camp is going fantastic. We are here in his hometown of Montreal training at his gym. His gym is just opening. Allura, 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, u nara għaliex Adonis iħobb Montreal, u nara għaliex Montreal iħobb Adonis kif ukoll.
L. Milner
Great. Grazzi. Sakio, inti tista 'tagħtina xi kumment ftuħ malajr dwar kamp ta' taħriġ?
Saki Taurus
Kull dritt, l-ewwel nett, I want to thank everybody for giving me this big opportunity at the world title. . My training camp is going really well. Nixtieq nirringrazzja Alla, inti taf, to give me this opportunity. Għal darb'oħra, we have a good training camp here. Everyone is happy. Jien ferhan, and my coach is happy. All my kingdom is happy. I’m just looking for on April-4, biex issir champion tad-dinja tlett darbiet.
L. Milner
Awesome. Grazzi. Mr. Cunningham, huma inti hemmhekk? Could you add anything to that?
Kevin Cunningham
Iva. To piggyback on what Sakio has just said, aħna kellna kamp ta 'taħriġ tremend, 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. Allura, Stajt ilhom hemm, li jsir. 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. Grazzi. Okay, we’re going to go ahead and open it up for questions from the media. Operator, tista 'jekk jogħġbok tagħmel dan?
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 April 4 fuq CBS?
A. Stevenson
Yeah, Naf li jkunu tant jitkellem dwar dak, imma jien ħafna iffukat fuq Bika issa, 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, u jien lest ħafna għalih. I se tkun lesta għalih April 4. Allura, fokus tiegħi hija fuq Bika. Naf li dawn ikollhom tant nies tkellem lili dwar kif ġlieda dan, imma jien iffukat ħafna fuq dan Guy.
Q
X'inhi l-proċedura għall-ittestjar tad-droga qabel il- April 4?
A. Stevenson
Tliet time fit-taħriġ u l-ħin wieħed hu 06:00 in the morning. Allura, 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, Jien dejjem jagħmel it-test, inti taf? Allura, mhuwiex l-ewwel darba I do it-test, but I always to do it. This is fantastic, I-imħabba li.
Q
Taħseb li kien neċessarju għall boxing li jkollhom dik it-tip ta 'test?
A. Stevenson
Of course huwa meħtieġ minħabba, huwa jgħinek. Allura, huwa importanti ħafna li tagħmel żgur li kollox sejjer tajjeb ħafna. U dan huwa parti tal-boksing u dak l-evoluzzjoni. Ninsab kuntenta ħafna u kuntenti u tappoġġa dak.
Q
Sakio, x'taħseb dwar dan?
S. Taurus
Naħseb li huwa ħafna, tajba ħafna għaliex għandi [mhux intelliġibbli] since I’ve been here. I think it’s good for the new generation. It goes for this sport. Għalija, Naħseb li hija perfetta. Huwa perfetta għaliex, tant nies [mhux intelliġibbli] jirtiraw [mhux intelliġibbli] drug and they never get tested. And now with new generation, Naħseb li huwa tajjeb ħafna, inti taf, for younger kids to try to see if they want to win. Once you come in this sport you have to have been clean. Huwa organizzazzjoni perfetta biex tikseb in-nies involuti fi u test minnhom. Hu l-ħaġa perfetta biex tagħmel.
Q
Allura tnejn inti ser jiġu ttestjati tliet darbiet, darbtejn matul il-kamp ta 'taħriġ, żmien wieħed qabel il-ġlieda? Is that correct, guys?
A. Stevenson
I do not know għalih, but for me it’s three time. And we do a piss test, u nagħmlu test tad-demm, wisq.
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
L-ewwel mistoqsija li kien mistoqsi biex Adonis dwar preparazzjoni tiegħu għall-ġlieda li jmiss u wkoll l-ebda distrazzjoni madwar kollha avversarji futuri potenzjali, Nixtieq nikseb iżżid l-istess kwistjoni li Adonis darb'oħra.
A. Stevenson
You know, it-tip ta 'għalf bħal Bika hija selvaġġi u wera li hu wasal–inti taf, 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, dan juri jekk inti tagħmel żball bħal dik imbagħad se jkun eliminatorja malajr ħafna fil-ġlieda.
Q
Il-mistoqsija tiegħi hija għal “Zokkor” Hill. “Zokkor”, I biss trid tkun taf jekk inti kienu kuntent bl-istil li kien magħżul għal din il-ġlieda li jmiss, jekk dan huwa t-tip ta 'test inti kienu qed ifittxu għal bħala trainer.
S. Hill
Safejn tfittex għal stil ta Adonis għall-ġlieda kontra–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, għal Adonis tagħlim aktar dwar boxing biex ikunu kapaċi li jkunu fiha bi qlubija bħal Sakio Bika, li l-qawwija, veteran determinat u iebsa li jistgħu jifilħu. He can take a punch. He’s never been knocked out or anything like that. Allura, din hija opportunità għall Adonis li forsi tmur 12 rawnds jew fis-rawnds aktar tard, li jista 'jibni u żid għall-karriera tiegħu bħala ġlied fil rawnds aktar tard, li huwa kien kapaċi tagħmel. Din il-ġlieda hawn ma Bika huwa test, u Adonis tant iħobb li jiġu ttestjati. 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, huma inti tħares lejn iebsa 12 ġlieda tond jew taħseb jarawha bħala motivazzjoni bħala li jkunu l-ewwel li knock dan Guy out jekk dik l-opportunità tippreżenta lilha nnifisha?
A. 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 rounds Jien lest għall 12 rawnds. I fight and spar. My fight is, jfaddlu u t-taħriġ għall- 12 rounds.When I nikseb fil-ċirku, I infittex il-eliminatorja. I don’t look for the 12 round. If he goes the distance or 12 rawnds, this is not a problem. I tista kaxxa. I’m beautiful. I got a good skill. I’m a Superman. Allura, it’s not a problem for me. Iżda, first I’m looking for a knockout. And I think any boxer going in the ring to fight always looks for a knockout. Kultant, it’s not like that. Iżda, me, I infittex il-eliminatorja. 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?
A. Stevenson
I’m not going to put pressure on myself. “Superman” ma jħossx pressjoni. Jien ser jużaw ħiliet boxing tiegħi, u jien ser tuża my head fiċ-ċirku. 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
Kien Sakio Bika-ewwel avversarju huma offruti lilek?
A. 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–ma, super middleweight champion. It’s very good, għaliex huwa Boxer tajba. He was champion last two fights. That’s a good opportunity for him, wisq, li jmorru mid-dawl heavyweight għall-ġlieda kontra lili. And it’s a good opportunity for me, wisq.
Q
Irrid li jistaqsu lilek fuq dak il-punt ma inti tgħid lilek innifsek, “I jkollhom għall-ġlieda,” jew “Irrid li jiġġieldu Sergey Kovalev li jgħaqqad l-ċinturini fid-diviżjoni.” At what point did you say that in your career?
A. 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. Iżda, żgur Irrid li jiġġieldu għal titoli, iżda issa–għal issa stajt ltqajna Bika fil-wiċċ tiegħi.
Q
Inti ma kinux impressjonat bil-mod li Kovalev ħares fil-ġlieda tal-ġimgħa l-oħra kontra Pascal. Għaliex?
A. 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. Allura, in four years he fights one time. Allura, hu għalhekk li jien ma impressjonat dwar dan, minħabba Pascal mhijiex Boxer attiv simili hu użat biex tkun lura fil-ġurnata.
Q
Inti taf li 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.
A. Stevenson
Of course, Naf. I’m ready to fight a title. Iżda, I let tim tiegħi, Al HAYMON, jimpurtahom li. 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’ titolu, u I għandhom jiġġieldu Bernard Hopkins.
Q
Din hija ġlieda li għaddej biex tkun fuq it-televiżjoni nazzjonali fl-Istati Uniti, 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?
A. Stevenson
Of course. This is a good opportunity for that. And first of all, Nixtieq nirringrazzja Al Haymon għal dak, wisq, għaliex, that’s him putting on the show. And since Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, back in the day it was free. Issa, we offer the public the fight for free and that’s a great opportunity for me. Allura, I have a good performance for Sakio Bika. Iżda, I know Sakio Bika is a tough opponent and he’s very awkward and tough. We’ll prepare for that, u aħna lesti. Huwa wkoll tajjeb ħafna għall-gidjien żgħażagħ, jaraw il-ġlieda. Hija opportunità tajba għal kulħadd.
Q
Ma 'dak jaraw potenzjal kbir udjenza ma li tpoġġi lilek f'pożizzjoni fejn inti qed tfittex għal eliminatorja?
A. Stevenson
Of course. That gives me a lot of motivation. That’s why I train really hard for this fight and watch–sabiex in-nies jaraw lili. Since Muhammad Ali, I’m the first to be poor and the projects. Allura, Ninsab tassew, kuntenti ħafna, and I’m going to put a good performance. Like Emanuel said, knockouts jbiegħu.
Q
Adonis, fejn huma inti taħriġ din il-ġimgħa? U mbagħad, meta inti fil-fatt se Quebec City?
A. 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. I jista 'jara kid tiegħi, wisq. Allura, I-imħabba li. And we train very hard, lili u trainer tiegħi. We put the hard work pay off. This is different. This is a good opportunity for me, u I-imħabba li.
Q
Allura, int fil-Quebec City issa allura?
A. Stevenson
I’m in Montreal now. Quebec City, Jien ser din il-ġimgħa.
Q
Allura, meta se inti fil-fatt imorru għall Quebec City?
A. Stevenson
Il-Ħadd.
Q
Għal darb'oħra, 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?
A. Stevenson
I know Bika is a tough opponent. Allura, Jien lest għall 12 rawnds. Jekk il-eliminatorja ikun hemm, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. Iżda, fiċ-ċirku, I infittex il-eliminatorja. Allura, ma jimpurtax għalija, 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
Iżda, jista 'jkun perikoluż li dejjem tkun tfittex għal eliminatorja għaliex imbagħad jekk inti ma ġġibu malajr kemm inti tixtieq allura inti tista' tikseb bogħod mill-istil tiegħek ta 'boxing. Is that something that worries you?
A. Stevenson
Aħna tista 'tmur 12 round. It’s not a problem for me. We train for that. We train for that. I can go 12 round. And I’m from Kronk Gym, Detroit. And this place, għandna tajba, trainer tajba bħall Emanuel “Zokkor” Hill. They know boxing. They teach me very well my skill and everything and my balance. They know boxing. And so, huma jafu jekk il-eliminatorja ma jkunx hemm, imma aħna qed tmur biex jaħdmu. We’re going to use the good ability to go for 12 rawnds. It’s not a problem.
Q
Sakio, I biss trid tkun taf, kif tħossok għalik f'din kamp ta 'taħriġ li jħarreġ għal ġlieda heavyweight dawl wara li qattgħu pjuttost ħafna karriera tiegħek kollu fuq middleweight super?
S. Taurus
Inħoss li kien sfida ġdida li jitla 'u jippruvaw għall-ġlieda kontra l-barri big. Meta tara reġimen tiegħi, ħadd qatt trid ġlieda lili. Kien dejjem ftit diffiċli għaliex in-nies ma jridux għall-ġlieda lili. Għalija huwa sfida kbira minħabba Stevenson, Adonis huwa champion kbir u nixtieq li jsiru l-champion tad-dinja fil-ħajja. Jien ċert ħafna I jistgħu jimmaniġġjaw lilu. U jiġu April 4, għaliex għandi preparazzjoni tajba, , sieħeb sparing kbir, I biss tfittex għalik biex tara kif I jistgħu jimmaniġġjaw l-barri big. Adonis hija l-ewwel waħda għall miegħi fl dan il-piż, but I just feel confident, Inħoss pożittiv. Jien lest, inti taf, li jmorru hemm u juru l-poplu fid-dinja I tista 'taħbit Adonis Stevenson fuq April 4. I want to tell the big bull. I want to move up in light heavyweight division, uApril 4 nies ser ikunu narah.
Q
Il-piż jħossuhom aħjar għalik? Do you see yourself staying at light heavyweight?
S. Taurus
Nara lili nnifsi bħal heavyweight dawl. Nara lili nnifsi fil heavyweight dawl għaliex inti tara tant ċampjins tad-dinja. For me just it’s just a challenge. I want to challenge myself. I tista 'tagħmel dawl tqil faċli. It would be a struggle to do super middleweight. You know, I tista 'tagħmel heavyweight dawl verament faċilment. I jistgħu jimmaniġġjaw l-barri big, għaliex jien nagħmel handling kulħadd. This is a big opportunity for me to try to see if can I handle the big bull. I can handle Adonis. bħal April 4, I will try to test myself. You all ready? Jien lest. Għandi preparazzjoni tajba,. Aħna ferrovija iebsa ħafna għal din il-ġlieda. Jien biss tfittex li jaslu għal Quebec u jieħdu ħsieb ta 'negozju.
Q
Fl-istess ħin li inti kienu fil-ġlieda Sergey Kovalev / Jean Pascal, u inti marru fuq biex kummentatur HBO fil-ħin, 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 nhar is-Sibtlejl koppja ta 'tmiem il-ġimgħa ilu.
A. Stevenson
Pascal ma jimpurtax issa għaliex aħna qed jitkellem dwar Bika. Mmur għall-ġlieda kontra April 4 ma Bika. Hija ħaġa iebsa ħafna dwar Bika u Kovalev m'hijiex persuna li issa meta naħseb dwar il-ġlieda ma Kovalev u Pascal u mbagħad wara I said, “Well, yeah, Jien ser ġlieda.” He’s not a person for me now. The person now is Bika.
Q
Inti garantit li ġlieda li jmiss tiegħek se tmur kontra Kovalev lura f'Mejju tas-sena li għaddiet wara 12 rounds against Fonfara. You beat Fonfara.
A. 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, u jien ħafna iffukat bil 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. Allura, thank you so much. We’re going to switch over to Mr. Beterbiev.
Artur Beterbiev
I simili ta 'taħriġ tiegħi, and I am training hard. And it was all planned. Allura, dan kollu marret skond il-pjan. Huwa avversarju serja. I ma jistgħux jistennew li jkollhom din il-ġlieda.
Q
Artur, you defeated Sergey Kovalev in the amateurs. What do you think of him as far as a professional opponent right now?
A. Beterbiev
B'kunsiderazzjoni dikjarazzjonijiet kollha tiegħu li huwa reċentement prodotta, Nixtieq li jissodisfaw miegħu u jniżżlu lura fil-post tiegħu fl-iżvilupp professjonali.
Q
What do you remember dwar lilu bħala Guy li s-ġlieda int? What do you remember?
A. Beterbiev
I jkollhom memorja tajba ħafna. Allura, I ma taħbit lilu darbtejn fil-gradi dilettanti, imma jien aktar iffokati fuq il-futur dritt issa. Nixtieq li tħabbat lilu mill-ġdid.
Q
Artur, inti tista tiddeskrivi kif tħossok karriera tiegħek qed jogħla f'dan il-punt?
A. Beterbiev
I bħall-mod I kont qed immexxi fil-karriera professjonali tiegħi. Jien taħriġ ta 'kuljum u ta' kuljum tax-xogħol u dejjem jaħsbu dwar dak. Jien dejjem jippruvaw itejbu u jtejbu partijiet mhux li qawwijin tiegħi, as part of my preparation.I’m not a future teller. Allura, I’m ready to meet all the solid opponents. And I’m ready for the championship of the world, u jien lest għal kwalunkwe xenarju każ.
Q
Hemm xi interess fil inti ġlieda kontra l-rebbieħ ta 'Stevenson / Bika?
A. Beterbiev
I tista ġlieda kulħadd.
Q
What do you think ta 'Campillo u liema tip ta' sfidi ma Campillo jippreżenta lilek għaliex huwa tant aktar professjonali esperjenza milli hu għandu?
A. Beterbiev
Iva, 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, u hu avversarju solidu, iżda l-ġlieda għaddej biex juru jekk lingwa professjonali tiegħu tista 'tgħin lilu f'din il-ġlieda.
Q
What do you jitgħallmu minn knockdown?
A 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
Kif inti tara Campillo, x'tip ta ġellied huwa hu, u hemm kwalunkwe parti tal-istil tiegħu–xi elementi ta 'l-istil tiegħu li jistgħu jkunu' tħassib?
A. Beterbiev
Din hija opponent.He solidu taħdem tajjeb ħafna, very experienced at attack. He’s very experienced at defense. Il-ġlieda se turi dak li għaddej biex jiġri.
