The hard-hitting Montreal native’s next bout was confirmed to be broadcasted on HBO and Lemieux expressed his interest in fighting the best in the middleweight division. Below is what the Montreal native, his promoters and his management had to say:

 

DAVID LEMIEUX, Middleweight Contender

 

I have put in the work. What you saw in Brooklyn was only 50 percent of what I can do and I feel like I can be a lot better. I want to show that in my next fight.

 

I fear no man, I want to go after the top of the food chain. Oscar and Bernard came up fighting the best and I am of the same mind.

 

Canelo is a younger, hungrier fighter. He is explosive. He is a tough fighter and it would be a good match up.

 

Everyone is on the list. Mwen vle goumen pi bon an.

 

The reason I started so young was because I was a trouble maker. I was fighting in the streets. My neighbor was a boxer and he told me to come fight real fighters. I got my ass kicked a few times but I fell in love with it.

 

We want to make a good run at 160 and then think about moving up in weight.

 

I have always liked power punchers and I respect othersstyles and other champions, but I never mimic them.

 

OSCAR DE LA oya, Fondatè ak Prezidan Pwomosyon Boy Golden

 

We are exploring every option. We can go to Montreal, we can go back to New York City, we can come to Las Vegas; that’s the beauty of David. He can fight anywhere and people will come out to watch him.

 

He’s still growing. We haven’t seen his full potential which is very exciting. He has explosiveness and power.

 

We will be working hand and hand with Eye of the Tiger Management. We are partners and we want the best fights, the best deals. We will be working together in the best interest for David.

 

A future fight with Canelo is possible. Canelo wants to fight the best. Lemieux wants to fight the best. For now we want to focus on 160-pounds weight class and on Cotto, Andy lee and Golovkin.

 

Bernard Hopkins, Future Hall nan Famer ak Pwomosyon Boy Golden kreye patenarya

 

We got this guy [Lemieux], he is tough. I know Gabriel Rosado and he handled him easily. I know what I am looking at. I have an eye for talent and he has it.

 

We are going to continue and show you that we will put on the best fights and give the fans quality. I’m in it to make the best fights. The ratings speak for themselves. The fans speak for themselves. Judge us by the quality of the matches you see and don’t get caught up in the ‘feelingsof it.

 

I want to put a call out to everyone, that is how Oscar was brought up, that is how I was brought up, fighting the best.

 

Three things about David: youn, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions; de, he has talent in many ways, not only is he a fan favorite he is a good defensive fighter; twa, he has good looks.

 

I am seeing now the molding of another legacy, his legacy. But at the end of the day he has an opportunity in the middle weight division, I am glad to be here with a middleweight who I feel already has a lot of respect.

 

CAMILLE ESTEPHAN, President of Eye of the Tiger Management

 

Canelo is on the list. Cotto is on the list. Golovkin is on the list. Andy Lee is on the list. Everyone is on the list.

 

I definitely think he is the most popular boxer, the numbers prove it. He has a lot of potential and the sky is the limit.

 

I got a call yesterday from someone in the boxing world about how exciting it is to be working with Golden Boy and he said ‘David is like a sunshine that beams on the world of boxingand it is very heartwarming. It’s heartwarming to sit down with Oscar, Bernard and Eric, whom I have gotten to know very well since the Rosado fight. This is great group of people and I think that we can build something together that will make a huge impact in the boxing world.

 

David is the one guy, that as soon as I saw him the first time in the gym, the first sit-up he did and the last sit-up he did were exactly the same, he doesn’t cheat. He has the ultimate confidence because he doesn’t cheat himself and I have the ultimate respect for him. I am very proud of him as a person.

 

ERIC GOMEZ, Senior Vis Prezidan an Pwomosyon Boy Golden

 

After the Rosado fight, Lemieux was impressive and we began talks with Camille. People love David and it made sense. David has an exciting style.

 

We are looking at HBO, the ratings against Rosado were some of the best all year. They are very excited about David.

TUREANO JOHNSON WINS WBC SILVER & WBA INTERNATIONAL BELTS

NEW YORK (Janvye 11, 2015) – Sot pase sa a Vandredi nan Madison Square Garden teyat la, Bahamian middleweight contender, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 Ko) captured the WBA International ak WBC Silver tit, with a bruising victory against Colombian contender Alex Theran (17-2, 2 Ko). Johnson thumped the former Olympian Theran over five rounds, dropping him once in the 4th round, then again in the 5th. Theran, who suffered an injury and could not return for the 6th round, was taking a beating before bowing out of the bout.

 

Rated WBC #8, WBA #12 ak IBF #12, Tureano Johnson is looking to step up and challenge any of the champions in middleweight division. After beating a solid fighter like Theran, and being robbed in the Curtis Stevens fight, Johnson is confident he can beat any of the current champions at 160 lbs.

 

“Mwen pare al goumen Gennady Golovkin, Miguel Cotto, Jermain Taylor or any other champion out there,” Di Tureano Johnson. These are the type of fights I would like to pursue. David Lemieux is also on my hit list. I’m here to take over the division. Everyone knows I should be undefeated so I’m going to leave no doubt about it every time I step in the ring. I can’t afford to be robbed again. With Gary Shaw putting me in a great position, I’m going to make the most of every opportunity. My goal in 2015 is to become a world champion.

 

Tureano Johnson is marching up the rankings and should be applauded for his fighting style.” di Gary Shaw. “He’s the type of fighter everyone wants to see. I’m going to push hard to get him back on TV, hopefully against a guy like Gennady Golovkin. Johnson is a force in the middleweight division and you will see him in some big fights coming up.
