DETROIT (Maí 10, 2018) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and unified women’s super middleweight champion Claressa Shields worked out for the media and spoke to local youth Wednesday at The Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit. The boxing star is two weeks into training camp ahead of her SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION showdown Friday, Júní 22 á 10 p.m. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from the historic Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

The 23-year-old Shields, who grew up in nearby Flint, will attempt to become a two-division world champion when she faces unified women’s 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Titles.

 

 

 

Ahead of the crucial middleweight world title fight, Shields has altered her preparations significantly. She has changed her diet, switched to renowned trainer John David Jackson and has moved her camp from Michigan to Florida.

 

 

Joining Shields at the workout on Wednesday was Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions. Here is what Shields and Salita had to say.

Claressa Shields:

On fighting in Detroit…

“To fight in Detroit for a world title on SHOWTIME and to be mentioned with great Detroit fighters like Tommy Hearns and James Toney is incredible. Those guys are known worldwide. It shows me that I have a chance to do the same thing and bring attention to women’s boxing. That’s my goal overall – to make sure women’s boxing lives for a long time”

 

On moving camp to Florida…

“You really can’t deal with unnecessary distractions getting ready for big world title fights like I have been having. You want people pushing you to be better and not have people pulling you down.

 

 

 

“I was dealing with everybody who’s around pulling me left and right and calling me at 2, 3 o’clock in the morning. All this negative stuff that goes on in Flint that 23-year-olds are being involved in is something I can’t be involved in. That initially made me do the whole move. I have to stay focused and work hard on my goal of beating Hanna Gabriels and capturing the world title in a second division.

 

On training with John David Jackson…

“We’re on the same page and we’re always talking about the game plan for Hanna and what we’re going to do and what we have to work on. John doesn’t try to change my style, he just makes small adjustments to improve the good things that got me to this level. I feel great about this camp so far and I look forward to putting it all together in June.”

 

On Hanna Gabriels…

“Hanna is a talented world champion. I have a lot of respect for her skills and accomplishments. It takes great, competitive matches to bring women’s boxing to an elite level and that’s what I want to do. I always said that I want to fight the best. Júní 22, I look forward to putting on a special performance for the fans watching the fight on SHOWTIME and those at the Masonic Temple. It’s going to be a special night and I can’t wait to capture my second division world title close to home in front of my hometown fans live on SHOWTIME.”

 

On being an inspiration for kids…

“Kids need to know that everything is possible. I decided to be an Olympic gold medalist at the age of 11. I did it when I was 17. How do you stay focused on one goal all that time? Take one step towards it every day, sometimes small and sometimes bigger. En, the important thing is to keep focused on your goal. If you persevere and work hard enough, truly everything is possible”

 

Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions

“We had a tremendous media turnout at today’s media workout at Detroit Downtown Boxing Club. It’s very special to see such support for Claressa, who’s story and success transcends boxing and is very much in line with the comeback story of Flint and Detroit – “America’s Greatest Comeback City”.

 

 

 

“It’s very meaningful for kids in Detroit gyms like the Downtown Boxing Club to see someone that came from a similar background and neighborhood that they did and accomplish all the amazing things that Claressa is doing. Claressa makes them see and believe that through hard work, belief and focus everything is possible. Boxing is a tool that she has mastered with which to deliver this very important message.

 

 

 

“June 22 is going to be one of the biggest fights of the year and one of the most meaningful and memorable moments in sports and women’s boxing.”

With her long-time rival, Claressa Shields, moving down to middleweight, Baltimore’s Franchon “The Heavy-Hitting Diva” Crews-Dezurn will finally be getting her own deserved chance to shine.

 

 

 

One of the best female fighters in the world not currently holding a world title, Áhafnir-Dezurn (3-1, 1 KO) will return to the ring for a six-round fight on the non-televised undercard of the blockbuster “It’s Our Time to Shine” event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion Shields attempting to become a two-division world champion against unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships.

 

 

 

The main event will be televised live on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION (10 p.m. ET / PT) and will also feature highlights of Unified Women’s Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer as she defends her WBC & WBO Titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson.

Not long ago, Áhafnir-Dezurn, an eight-time national amateur champion and two-time medalist at the World Amateur Championships, looked to be the face of American women’s boxing before Shields, a younger boxing prodigy, stole much of her thunder and her spot on the inaugural women’s Olympic boxing team.

 

 

 

The pair faced each other again in their simultaneous pro debuts in late 2016, with Shields winning a decision.

 

 

 

Síðan þá, Crews has signed with Shields’ promoter, Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions, and won three straight fights in impressive fashion.

 

 

 

“Training is going good,” said Crews-Dezurn. “I’ve been helping my husband Glenn get ready for his next fight, so I’m already in great shape. I’m very happy to be getting back in the ring.”

 

 

 

An entrepreneur, söngvari, and business student in addition to boxing, the charismatic Crews-Dezurn is as marketable as any fighter could be, but has been forced to live in the sizable shadow cast by the success of Shields.

 

 

 

Hins, now that Shields is off chasing a showdown with German counterpart Christina Hammer at middleweight, the super middleweight division has an opening for a new world champion.

 

 

 

“I’d like to be fighting for a title within the next year,” continued Crews-Dezurn. “I know in my heart I’m right there with the best super middleweights in the world. I just need to keep working hard and let things happen like they should.”

 

 

 

Promoter Salita, a champion of women’s boxing and one of the main forces behind its resurgence, says Crews-Dezurn’s day is coming soon.

 

 

 

“Franchon will be world champion in the not-too-distant future,"Sagði hann. “She has all the skills and she works very hard to reach her goals. She deserves all the success she will have. I’m happy to be promoting her career. She’s a very special fighter and person.”

 

 

 

Crews-Dezurn’s opponent is currently TBA. “It’s Our Time to Shine” is presented by Salita Promotions.

World’s No. 1 Fighter At 168 Pounds Takes On No. 1 Fighter At 154 Pounds In Main Event Middleweight Bout

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Live At 10 p.m. OG/PT

From Masonic Temple In Detroit, Michigan.; Miðasala hafin

NEW YORK (Apríl 24, 2018) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and unified women’s super middleweight Champion Claressa Shields will attempt to become a two-division world champion on Friday, Júní 22 live on SHOWTIME when she faces unified women’s 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Championships at Masonic Temple in Detroit, mig.

The SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast begins at 10 p.m. OG/PT and features the No. 1 bardagamaður á 168 pounds facing the No. 1 bardagamaður á 154 pounds as they both attempt to become champions for the first time in the middleweight division.

Shields (5-0, 2 Kos), who grew up in nearby Flint, was the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win consecutive Olympic Gold Medals. The 23-year-old turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight. Shields now begins her first camp with renowned trainer John David Jackson as she attempts to become a two-division champion.

“I can’t wait to get into the ring on Júní 22,” said Shields. “I love the fight against Hanna Gabriels – champion versus champion, exactly the kind of fight that I want every time to take women’s boxing to new heights. I’ve said one of my goals is to win world championships in three weight divisions. I’m proud to be super middleweight champion, og á Júní 22 I will add the middleweight championship to my accomplishments. I’m excited to be working with John David Jackson for the next step in my career as I look to conquer another division.”

Two-division champion Gabriels (18-1-1, 11 Kos) is the reigning WBA and WBO World Champion. The native of Costa Rica won her first world title at welterweight in 2009 and has since fought in an astounding 11 consecutive world title fights. The 35-year-old won her first belt in the 154-pound division in 2010 and became unified champion in 2016. In her last bout, Gabriels avenged the only loss on her record, a 2013 defeat to then-undefeated title challenger Oxandia Castillo. She looks to become a three-division world champion on Júní 22.

“I’m really excited and grateful to have the opportunity to showcase my skills against Claressa Shields on SHOWTIME,” said Gabriels. “This will be a great battle of two world champions, a great night for my country, and a great fight for women’s boxing. I only know one thing – the woman in front of me will lose. I take nothing away from Claressa’s accomplishments, en á Júní 22 she is facing a three-time world champion and I will take the ‘0’ in her record and prove I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.”

“This main event is yet another example of SHOWTIME Boxing’s commitment to delivering the best fighters in the best matchups,” said Gordon Hall, Executive Producer of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION. “We have two unified champions, the top fighters in their respective divisions, facing off for a championship in a new weight class. Will Claressa Shields be as dominant as a middleweight? Can Hanna Gabriels shock the world and hand Claressa her first loss since she was an amateur in 2012? We’ll find out on Júní 22."

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION (10 p.m. OG/PT) will also feature extensive highlights of unified women’s middleweight champion Christina Hammer (22-0, 10 Kos) as she defends her WBC & WBO titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson (17-1-3, 2 Kos).

If both Shields and Hammer are victorious in their 160-pound bouts on Júní 22, they will meet in a fall blockbuster on SHOWTIME to determine the undisputed women’s middleweight world champion.

“I’m glad Christina Hammer will be fighting that night as well. After I beat champion Hanna Gabriels, I want to unify all the middleweight belts against Hammer,” Shields said. “I’ve never been so motivated. This will be a great year for women’s boxing. It’s our time!"

Hammer, of Dortmund, Þýskaland, has dominated the women’s middleweight division for nearly eight years, having won the WBO title at 160 pounds in 2010. The 27-year-old became unified champion in 2016 with a unanimous decision over WBC titlist Kali Reis and has made two defenses as unified champion. Hammer won the WBO title in 2010 in her eighth professional fight and has dominated the middleweight division since, losing just a handful of rounds in her reign as champion at 160 £. Hammer, who also models professionally and was recently featured at Fashion Week in New York City, has campaigned mostly in Germany since turning professional in 2009.

“I have been training intensively for months for my first fight in the U.S.,” Hammer said. “I can’t wait to show my skills, desire and hunger to America and prove that I am THE middleweight champion of the world. While I have great respect for Tori Nelson, I promise I will defeat her in spectacular fashion on Júní 22 and send a message to Claressa Shields. It’s my time to shine!"

“Women’s boxing will shine brightly on Júní 22 in Detroit as the best fight the best,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Claressa Shields, in just her sixth fight as a professional, is once again showing her willingness to take on all challenges when she competes for a second world title against one of the best female fighters in the sport. Hanna Gabriels is a long-reigning world champion and a national hero in Costa Rica. This fight and this card, which features four women’s world champions battling each other, is the definition of world-class boxing. Júní 22 will be their time to shine, live on SHOWTIME in Detroit.”

VERONA, N.Y.. (Jan. 13, 2018) – Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields dominated previously undefeated Tori Nelson en route to a 10-round unanimous decision in the main event of ShoBox: The New Generation Föstudagur on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino.

 

 

 

Shields controlled from opening to closing bell, sweeping 100-90 on all three judges’ scorecards in the first 10-round distance fight of her career. The 2012 og 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist out-landed Nelson 225-81 with her total punches, 186-70 in powers shots, and connected at a 44 percent clip with her power shots compared to just 20 percent for Nelson.

 

 

 

“I landed every shot that I thought possible to land,” Shields said. “She was tough, she wasn’t a pushover. She put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

Shields advanced to 5-0 with two knockouts in what was likely her final fight in the super middleweight division. The 22-year-old now has her sights set on the middleweight division where she will eventually target undefeated and Unified Women’s Middleweight World Champion Christina Hammer, who was ringside Föstudagur í Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (fyrst),” Shields said. “I think I could make 160 easy, I’m going to be bigger and stronger than any girl.

 

 

 

“Hammer just wants to scope. I think she’s pretty scared to be honest. She is more worried about me than I am about her. I’m going to kick Hammer’s ass. People think Hammer is more skilled than me so I can’t wait to show her that she’s not.”

 

 

 

Hammer, who is expected to fight in a co-featured bout on the next Shields card, was interviewed by SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood and expressed excitement to make her U.S. debut and eventually face the American champion.

 

 

 

“It’s a great combination me and her on the same card,” Hammer said. “I can’t wait to show the fans who Christina Hammer is. That will be the best fight ever. It will be the game-changer for female boxing. It’s our time to shine.

 

 

 

“I’m long-time world champion and I have more experience. I have longer reach, I’m tall, I have good footwork and better technique than her. I feel the energy, and I can’t wait to fight against her.”

 

 

 

The former world champion Nelson (17-1-3, 2 Kos) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: The New Generation.

 

 

 

“I’m not happy because I didn’t win, but other than that I thought I executed pretty well,” said the 41-year-old Nelson. “I gave her a better fight than she was expecting.

 

 

 

“No disrespect to Claressa, she doesn’t have great power. She has great speed and she overwhelms you with a lot of punches. My movement threw her off like I knew it would but knowing she was the champion, I needed to just push a little bit more.”

 

 

 

Í ShoBox samhliða lögun, Jesse Hernandez narrowly defeated Ernesto Garza via split-decision in an action-packed fight that was scored 95-94 Hernandez, 95-93 Garza, 97-93 Hernandez.

 

 

 

After a close first round, Garza floored Hernandez with a flush left hand to the nose in the closing moments of the second round. Hernandez recovered, and while the middle rounds featured tremendous back-and-forth action, Hernandez seemingly had no trouble walking down Garza, who’s punches seemed to lack any real power. Garza (9-3, 5 Kos) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10th and final round that featured 178 Heildareignir högg.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 Kos) lenti 50 percent of his power punches and connected on 40 percent of his punches compared to just 28 percent for Garza, however he threw just 719 total punches compared to more than 1,000 by Garza.

 

“I think it should have been a unanimous decision,” Hernandez said. “I’ve always been a slow starter and I feel like I lost the first two rounds, especially with the knockdown. But I won pretty much every round after that, I maybe lost three rounds.

 

 

 

“I’m not completely happy with my performance. I have to control my distance and my range a little bit better. I need to go back to the gym and work on those things. Before the summer comes I hope to have another fight and I hope it’s on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

“I give Garza a lot of credit for getting in the ring and knocking me down. He hung in there for 10 rounds even after I caught him with some good shots. He was able to withstand those shots, but all that said, I still think it should have been a unanimous decision.”

 

 

 

Garza countered that sentiment.

 

 

 

“I thought it was a bogus decision,” Garza said. “I don’t understand that last judge’s card. I was happy with everything that I did. I executed well and did everything I needed to do to win the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m really disappointed with the outcome. I felt that I won. Mér, I won a majority of the rounds and I knocked him down. I know knocking your opponent down usually leads to you winning the fight.”

 

 

 

Undefeated Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev handed Sonny Fredrickson the first loss of his career with an impressive third round TKO in the opening bout of the ShoBox útsending.

 

 

 

The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 með 12 knockouts.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old pressed the action from the beginning, negating Fredrickson’s five-inch reach advantage with a steady diet of well-timed, crisp punches. Ergashev landed a wide left to the head that stumbled Fredrickson in the opening minute of the third and continued to tee-off as his opponent wobbled against the ropes With Fredrickson (18-1, 12 Kos) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 af þriðja.

 

 

 

All of Ergashev’s 61 connects in the bout were power shots, and he connected on 77 percent of his power punches in the third and final round.

 

 

 

“The ref saved him,” Ergashev said. “If he let him stay on his feet any longer I would have knocked him out. He couldn’t handle my power.

 

 

 

“At this stage of my career, I am in the best shape of my life and the best I have felt. This is my time right now, especially because I am training with Rick (Phillips) og (Javan) Sugar (Hill Steward). That’s what leads to all of my knockout power.

 

 

 

“I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m ready for more fights in the U.S., and I want to keep getting more exposure to show off my skills. I’m ready to fight anybody in America.”

 

 

 

Fredrickson, who became the 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.

 

 

 

Föstudagur er tripleheader will replay on Mánudagur, Jan. 15 á 10 p.m. OG/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

FINAL MARKAÐSUPPLÝSINGAR:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

"Tori koma mikið meira árásargirni, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Á pappír, Hún hefur bestu ný af hvaða andstæðing sem ég hef blasa og getur sett upp betri berjast.

 

 

 

"Allir vanmetur mig vegna stærðar minnar. Beinin í mér lítur út eins og ég er 140 en í raun ég er 168. Allir fara í slag hugsa þeir geta unnið, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

"Ég býst við andstæðing minn til að beita þrýstingi, og til að nota sumir óhreinum tækni. Hún hefur meiri reynslu, en ekki það mikið þegar þú talar um áhugamaður reynslu sinni.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

"Þetta hefur verið erfitt Tjaldvagnar, Ég ýtti virkilega sjálfur. Ég geri venjulega sex vikna, þetta skipti sem ég gerði átta vikur. Ég hafði ekki barist síðan í ágúst þannig að ég vildi gefa mér aukalega tvær vikur þannig að ég vissi að ég væri í fullkomnu formi.

 

 

 

"Það er enginn vafi á því að ég byrja árið með sigri, en ég sé þetta sem samkeppni baráttunni. Ég ætla að fara að vinna sigur, en ég tel að ég get KO hana með sjötta, Sjöunda umferð. "

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

"Ég veit að ég er lítilmagni, en ég hef fallið níu manns. Hún hefur ekki skorað eitt knockdown enn sem atvinnumaður. Þegar Claressa gerðist atvinnumaður, Ég vissi að ég myndi þurfa að takast hana á endanum.

 

 

 

"A vinna er það sem ég kom til. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, en aðrir kvenkyns Boxer koma upp eftir mig.

 

 

 

"Ég finn að það er meira skemmtilegt að horfa á kvenkyns berjast. Þegar konur fá lækkað, þeir fá strax aftur upp og farið á eftir henni aftur. Þegar menn fá slegnir niður, þeir byrja að fela vegna þess að þeir vilja ekki að fá högg aftur. Þannig að ég held að við ættum að fá borgað eins mikið og menn.

 

 

 

"Ég er sæll að vera hér, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, en ég ætla að hneyksla heiminn.

 

 

 

“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.

 

 

 

"Þeir eru ekki að fara að gefa mér neitt. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

"Ég ætla bara að reyna að komast nær titli baráttu. Færa upp fremstur er helsta markmið núna, og ég er á réttri leið. A vinna hér í 10-umferð baráttunni væri mikið fyrir feril minn.

 

 

 

"Þar sem allur-í kring bardagamaður er eitthvað sem ég er að vinna á. En þú getur ekki orðið vel ávalar bardagamaður þar til þú færð reynslu og slagsmál og það er það sem ég er að vinna í að gera núna. Ég vil fá fleiri umferðir í og ​​gangi.

 

 

 

"Berjast við southpaw er ekki vandamál fyrir mig. Ég get skipt á afstöðu mína, en það er ekki eitthvað sem ég hugsa um eða áætlun. Það gerist bara náttúrulega í baráttunni.

 

 

 

"Ég hef alltaf trúað á mig, jafnvel þegar ég tók frí. Ég trúði að ég gæti fengið aftur inn í það og fá að efsta stigi. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, En það sýndi aðra sem ég tilheyri og að ég get keppt á efsta stigi. "

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"Ég vil koma á þrýstingi, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, fá hann þreyttur í seinni umferðum, og taka hann út.

 

 

 

"Hann hefur tilhneigingu til að skipta, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (gegn undefeated Jón Fernandez) Ég var að berjast miklu meiri þyngd.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

Í kjölfar Shakh:

 

 

"Ég elska að þjálfa hér vegna þess að það er öðruvísi andrúmsloft hér í Bandaríkjunum. Það er alvöru faglega skipulag, Mér finnst að færni mín og tækni mín hefur fengið mikið betri þjálfun hér með Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Ég veit að hann er reyndur bardagamaður. Hann er undefeated og hann er að koma til að berjast. Það er stórt tækifæri fyrir okkur bæði.

 

 

 

"Ég er mjög mikill heiður að vera á Showtime og fús til að fá þessa tegund af innlendum útsetningu. A vinna myndi sement mig vera sem einn af bestu yngri veltivigtar horfur í heiminum.

 

 

 

"Ég hef fengið mikið betri þjálfun á Kronk Boxing Líkamsrækt í Detroit. Last æfingabúðir var kynning á American stíl box og þessum búðum virkilega batnað tækni mína og aðferðir við mikilli sparring.

 

 

 

"Ég er 11-0 með 11 knockouts. Ég er puncher og ég vil að knýja hann út, en ég hef þjálfað fyrir fjarlægð. Ég hef þjálfað til að knýja einhvern út í fyrstu umferð og áttundu lotu.

 

 

 

"Þetta er stórt skref upp í andstöðu, en ég hef haft yfir 200 áhugamaður berst gegn nokkrum af bestu áhugamaður Boxer í heiminum. Ég hef barið Olympic medalists og mjög annálaður áhugamaður bardagamenn. "

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

"Ég hef verið að bíða eftir þessum útsetningu í langan tíma. Ég hef verið að reyna að fá á sjónvarpinu á síðustu tveimur eða þremur árum, þannig að þetta er a gríðarstór samningur fyrir mig. Vonandi vinna högg mig upp í toppinn 5 og gefur mér titil skot í lok þessa árs eða í byrjun næsta árs.

 

 

 

"Við spar mikið með Robert (Easter). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Ég gef honum nokkrar ábendingar hér og þar og hann gerir það sama fyrir mig.

 

 

 

"Ég veit ekki of mikið um andstæðingurinn minn. Ég veit að hann er Lefty og hann hefur sterka bolla. Hann er góð samsvörun fyrir mig. Hann vill halda áfram að koma fram og land stór skot þannig að ég ætla að vera fær um að úthólfinu honum nokkuð auðveldlega.

 

 

 

"Ég held ekki taugar verður þáttur. Ég hef barist á kortinu Andre Ward, Ég hef verið í stórum slagsmálum áður.

 

 

 

"Ég ætla að knýja hann út eftir þriðju umferð. Ég ætla að segja, hey, fá hann héðan.

 

 

 

"Eftir þessa baráttu, fans vilja byrja að læra nafnið mitt. Ég held að þeir vilja sjá mig hafa skot á það 140 £ titil. "
