S
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 4th on CBS?
A. Stevenson
Haa, Waan ogahay in ay wax badan ka hadlayaan in, laakiin waxaan aad u diiradda saaray Bika hadda, 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, iyo aad ayaan ugu diyaar isaga. Diyaar baan aawadiis u noqon doonaa April 4th. Sidaas, aan xoogga la saaraa Bika. Waan ogahay in ay leeyihiin dad badan oo la hadlaya oo igu saabsan sida ay u dagaalamaan, laakiin waxaan aad u gudanayaa ninkaan ahay.
S
Waa maxay hanaanka loo baaro daroogada ka hor inta April 4th?
A. Stevenson
Saddex waqtiga tababarka iyo hal mar oo waa lixda in the morning. Sidaas, 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, Mar kasta waxaan sameeyaa imtixaanka, aad u ogaato? Sidaas, ma aha markii ugu horeysay ee aan sameeyo imtixaanka, but I always to do it. This is fantastic, Waxaan jeclahay in.
S
Ma waxaad u malaynaysaa waxaa lagama maarmaan ahayd ee feerka yeelanaysaa in imtixaanka?
A. Stevenson
Dabcan waa lagama maarmaan, maxaa yeelay, waa idin Gargaaro. Sidaas, waxa aad u muhiim ah in la hubiyo in wax walba si aad u wanaagsan u socda. Iyo in qayb ka mid ah feerka iyo in ay horumar ka. Aad ayaan ugu faraxsanahay waana ku faraxsanahay oo ku taageeraan in.
S
Sakio, maxaad u malayn ku saabsan in?
S. Taurus
Waxaan qabaa inay aad u waa, aad u wanaagsan sababta oo ah waxaan leeyihiin [yihinn] since I’ve been here. I think it’s good for the new generation. It goes for this sport. Aniga ahaan, Waxaan qabaa in u san yahay. Waa kaamil ah, sababtoo ah, dad badan [yihinn] fariisto [yihinn] drug and they never get tested. And now with new generation, Waxaan qabaa inay tahay mid aad u wanaagsan, aad u ogaato, for younger kids to try to see if they want to win. Once you come in this sport you have to have been clean. Waa urur kaamil ah si ay u helaan dadka ku lug leh oo u Imtixaanno. Waa wax ku fiican in la sameeyo.
S
Sidaas labadiinaba aad la baari doonaa saddex jeer, laba jeer inta lagu jiro xerada tababarka, hal mar ka hor dagaalka ka? Is that correct, guys?
A. Stevenson
Ma aqaan isaga, but for me it’s three time. And we do a piss test, oo aan samayn baaritaan dhiig, aad.
S. Taurus
Haa, 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.
S
Su aasha ugu horaysa in la weydiiyey inay Adonis ku saabsan u diyaar dagaalka ka socda iyo sidoo kale Wareersan ku wareegsanaa oo dhammuna horjeeda mustaqbalka, Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in aad hesho si ay mar kale ku darto isla su'aasha si Adonis.
A. Stevenson
Waad ogtahay, nooca ah alaabtii sida Bika waa duurjoogta ah oo uu muujiyey inuu yimaado–aad u ogaato, 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, waxay muujinaysaa haddii aad khalad sida in loo sameeyo markaas waxa ay noqon doontaa knockout aad u dhakhsaha badan ee la dagaallanka.
S
Su'aashaydu waa u “Sugar” Hill. “Sugar”, Waxaan doonayaa kaliya in la ogaado haddii aad way ku farxeen style oo loo doortay dagaalkan socda, haddii tani ay tahay nooca tijaabada aad u tababare ahaan raadinaya.
S. Hill
Ilaa hadda sida raadinaya style ah Adonis si ay ula dagaalamaan–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, ee Adonis barashada dheeraad ah oo ku saabsan feerka si ay u awoodaan in ay ku sugan la dagaalka ah sida Sakio Bika, kuwaas oo ay xoog ah, halyeeyga goostay oo adag oo u adkeysan karaan. He can take a punch. He’s never been knocked out or anything like that. Sidaas, tani waa fursad ay Adonis in malaha tago 12 wareeg ku riday wareeg dambe ama, taas oo dhisi karo iyo ku darto si uu mustaqbalkiisa la dagaallamaan in wareeg dambe, taas oo uu awooday in ay sameeyaan. Halkan dagaalka Tani waxay la Bika waa baaritaan, iyo Adonis jecel yahay in lagu baaro. 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.
S
Adonis, aad eegaya adag a 12 dagaalka wareega ama baad u arkaan in ay dhiirogelin sida in ay noqoto marka hore si ay u garaacayaa ninkaan haddii fursad in laftiisa soo bandhigaysaa?
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 wareeg waxaan diyaar u ahay 12 wareeg. I fight and spar. My fight is, jarin, iyo tababarka 12 rounds.When baan ka heli in giraanta, Waxaan raadinayaa knockout ah. I don’t look for the 12 wareegsanaa. If he goes the distance or 12 wareeg, this is not a problem. Waxaan feerka karaan. I’m beautiful. I got a good skill. I’m a Superman. Sidaas, it’s not a problem for me. Laakiin, first I’m looking for a knockout. And I think any boxer going in the ring to fight always looks for a knockout. Mararka qaarkood, it’s not like that. Laakiin, i, Waxaan raadinayaa knockout ah. And Emanuel said knockouts sell.
S
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 dareemaan cadaadis. Waxaan doonayaa inaan isticmaalaa xirfad feerka, oo waxaan u socdaa madaxayga isticmaalaan in giraanta. 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.
S
Waxa uu ahaa Sakio Bika soo horjeeda ugu horeysay ee ay ku bixiyeen in aad?
A. Stevenson
Haa, 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–samayn ma, super middleweight champion. It’s very good, sababtoo ah waa feeryahanka wanaagsan. He was champion last two fights. That’s a good opportunity for him, aad, si ay u tagaan ka bixiyaa Nuurka culus ay igu dagaalamaan. And it’s a good opportunity for me, aad.
S
Waxaan doonayaa in aad weydiiso waxa dhibic ma aad naftaada u sheegeyso, “Waxaan leeyahay si ay ula dagaalamaan,” ama “Waxaan doonayaa in aan la dagaalamo Sergey Kovalev dooneyso inay u mideyso dhan suumanka ee horyaalka.” 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. Laakiin, Hubi in aan doonayo in aan u dagaalamo koobab, laakiin hadda–waayo, hadda waan heysanaa Bika in aan wejigayga.
S
Waxaad kumay qanacsanayn qaabka in Kovalev eegay dagaalka ka toddobaadka kale ka dhanka ah Pascal. Waa maxay sababta?
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. Sidaas, in four years he fights one time. Sidaas, waana sababta aan u ahay ma wacdaro ku saabsan in, sababtoo ah Pascal ma aha feeryahanka firfircoon sida uu ugu soo laaban lahaa maalinta waxaa loo isticmaalaa.
S
Waad og tihiin in 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
Dabcan, Waan ogahay. I’m ready to fight a title. Laakiin, I ha kooxdeyda, Al HAYMON, danaynayaa in. 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’ Horyaalka, iyo in aan la dagaalamo Bernard Hopkins.
S
Kani waa dagaal in ay noqon doontaa telefishinka qaranka ee dalka Mareykanka, 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
Dabcan. This is a good opportunity for that. And first of all, Waxaan doonayaa inaan u mahadceliyo Al Haymon, waayo,, aad, sababta oo ah, that’s him putting on the show. And since Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, back in the day it was free. Hadda, we offer the public the fight for free and that’s a great opportunity for me. Sidaas, I have a good performance for Sakio Bika. Laakiin, I know Sakio Bika is a tough opponent and he’s very awkward and tough. We’ll prepare for that, waxaana diyaar u nahay. Waxaa kale oo ay aad ugu fiican ee carruurta yar yar, daawanayay dagaalka ka. Waa fursad wanaagsan oo qof kasta.
S
Iyadoo in weyn fiirinaya dhagaystayaasha iman kara ma gelin lahaa in aad boos meesha aad raadineyso weeyna knockout ah?
A. Stevenson
Dabcan. That gives me a lot of motivation. That’s why I train really hard for this fight and watch–si dadka i daawado. Since Muhammad Ali, I’m the first to be poor and the projects. Sidaas, Aad ayaan, Aad ayaan ugu faraxsanahay, and I’m going to put a good performance. Like Emanuel said, group iibiso.
S
Adonis, xaggee baad tababarka kooxdiisa isbuucaan,? Ka dibna, marka aad si dhab ah u socda 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. Waxaan arki karaa kid, aad. Sidaas, Waxaan jeclahay in. And we train very hard, aniga iyo tababaraha. We put the hard work pay off. This is different. This is a good opportunity for me, oo aan jeclahay in.
S
Sidaas, aad ku jirtid Quebec City hadda ka dibna?
A. Stevenson
I’m in Montreal now. Quebec City, Waxaan toddobaadkan socday.
S
Sidaas, marka aad si dhab ah u tegi doonaa in Quebec City?
A. Stevenson
Sunday.
S
Mar labaad, 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. Sidaas, Diyaar waayo, waxaan ahay 12 wareeg. Haddii knockout ka jiro, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. Laakiin, in giraanta, Waxaan raadinayaa knockout ah. Sidaas, waxba ma ahan ii, 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.
S
Laakiin, waxa ay noqon karaan kuwo khatar ah in mar walba sababtoo ah markaas la raadinaya knockout ah haddii aadan sida ugu dhakhsaha badan ma heli aad rabto ka dibna aad ka fogaadaan aad badasho feerka karaan. Is that something that worries you?
A. Stevenson
Waxaan u tegi kartaa 12 wareegsanaa. It’s not a problem for me. We train for that. We train for that. Waxaan u tegi kartaa 12 wareegsanaa. And I’m from Kronk Gym, Detroit. And this place, wanaagsan ah waxaan heysanaa, Tababaraha wanaagsan sida Emanuel “Sugar” Hill. They know boxing. They teach me very well my skill and everything and my balance. They know boxing. And so, ay u ogaadaan haddii knockout ah kuma jiro, laakiin aan shaqo tagin. We’re going to use the good ability to go for 12 wareeg. It’s not a problem.
S
Sakio, Waxaan doonayaa kaliya in la ogaado, Sideed u aragtaa idinku sugan xerada tababarka si ay u tababaraan ah dagaal culus iftiin ka dib markii isagoo muddo quruxsan badan mustaqbalkiisa ciyaareed oo dhan, at dhexe a super?
S. Taurus
Waxaan dareemayaa waxa uu ahaa tartan cusub si ay u tagaan oo ay isku dayaan in ay la dagaallamaan dibiga weyn. Marka aad aragto aan habdhaqan, Qofna doonayo inuu iga dagaalamaan. Waxaa had iyo jeer ahaa wax yar adag tahay, maxaa yeelay dadka oo aan doonayaa in aan ii dagaalamaan. Aniga waxay iila muuqataa tartan adag, sababtoo Stevenson, Adonis yahay Horyaal weyn oo aan doonayo in aan noqdaan horyaalka adduunka ee nolosha. Aad u hubiso in aan isaga xamili karo waan hubaa. Oo kaalay April 4, waayo, waan u diyaarinta wanaagsan, , lammaane anka weyn, Waxaan isha kaliya ee aad u aragto in sida aan xamili karin dibiga weyn. Adonis waa markii ugu horaysay igu ugu miisaanka this, but I just feel confident, Waxaan dareemayaa wanaagsan. Diyaar ayaan u ahay, aad u ogaato, inuu halkaas tago iyo tuso dadka dunida aan ku garaaci karto Adonis Stevenson on April 4. I want to tell the big bull. I want to move up in light heavyweight division, iyoApril 4 oo qof ayaa ay noqon doontaa waxa ay u arkaan.
S
Miisaanka ma dareemaan idiin khayr roon,? Do you see yourself staying at light heavyweight?
S. Taurus
Waxaan arkay sida feerka fudud. Waxaan arkay ee feerka iftiin maxaa yeelay, waxaad arki heysata badan oo aduunka. For me just it’s just a challenge. I want to challenge myself. Waxaan sameyn karaa iftiin culus fudud. It would be a struggle to do super middleweight. Waad ogtahay, Waxaan sameyn karaa culus iftiin dhab ahaantii si fudud. Waxaan xamili karaan dibiga weyn, maxaa yeelay, waan ka qabtaan qof kasta. This is a big opportunity for me to try to see if can I handle the big bull. I can handle Adonis. sida April 4, I will try to test myself. You all ready? Diyaar ayaan u ahay. Waxaan leeyahay diyaarinta wanaagsan,. Waxaan tababarnaa aad u adag ee dagaalka this. Waxaan kaliya raadinaya inuu yimaado Quebec oo is ogow of ganacsiga.
S
Isla mar ahaantaa aad ahaayeen ee dagaalka Sergey Kovalev / Jean Pascal, oo aad u gudbay faallooda HBO waqtiga, 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 on SaturdayHabeen laba qof oo ah maalmaha fasaxa ah ka hor.
A. Stevenson
Pascal ma laha hadda, sababtoo ah aan ka hadleyno Bika. Waxaan u tegayaa inaan la dagaalamo April 4 la Bika. Waa wax aad u adag oo ku saabsan Bika iyo Kovalev ah waa qof aan hadda markii aan ka fikiro oo ku saabsan la dagaallanka la Kovalev iyo Pascal iyo markaas ka dib waxaan idhi, “Well, haa, Waxaan doonayaa inaan si ay ula dagaalamaan.” He’s not a person for me now. The person now is Bika.
S
Waxaad balan qaadayaa in aad dagaalka soo socda ka hor Kovalev noqon lahaa bishii May ee sanadkii hore ka dib 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, iyo inaan aad u diiradda la 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. Sidaas, thank you so much. We’re going to switch over to Mr. Beterbiev.
Artur Beterbiev

S

A. Beterbiev
Waxaa xusid mudan in hadalada uu sheegay in uu dhawaan soo saaray dhan, Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan la kulanto isaga oo u celiya dhigay meel in xirfadle.
S
Maxaad u xusuusan isaga ku saabsan sida nin oo uu idinla Dagaallamaan? What do you remember?
A. Beterbiev

And I’m ready for the championship of the world, oo aan diyaar u Isbaddalkan kasta ahay.
S
Ma jiraa xiiso walba oo aad dagaalanka guusha ee Stevenson / Bika?
A. Beterbiev
Waxaan dagaalamaan yaabaa qof.
S
Maxaad u malaynaysaa of Campillo oo noocee ah caqabadaha uusan Campillo idiin yeelay, isagu wuxuu leeyahay wax badan ka duwan tababaradii uu leeyahay qibrad?
A. Beterbiev
Haa, 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, oo uu soo horjeeda adag, laakiin dagaalka ka socda si ay u muujiyaan haddii uu afka xirfad isaga caawin kara in dagaalka this.
S
Maxaad u bartaan ka badisay Inter a?
Beterbiev A
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.
S
Sidee ayaad u aragtaa Campillo, nooca dagaalka ah waa inuu, oo waxaa ku jira qayb ka mid ah qaabkiisa–xubno ka mid ka mid ah habka uu noqon karaa welwel?
A. Beterbiev
Tani waa adag opponent.He ee ka shaqeeya si aad u wanaagsan, very experienced at attack. He’s very experienced at defense. Dagaalka ayaa waxaa la socday si ay u muujiyaan waxa ka socda in ay ka dhacaan.
