This is the fight the people have been waiting for and it’s time to give it to them,” Di Berto. “I am in a good place mentally, physically and spiritually.

StubHub Center is excited to host this welterweight bout on Samdi, Avril 30,” said Katie Pandolfo, General Manager of StubHub Center. “We look forward to an exciting rematch and an electric atmosphere at the premier outdoor boxing venue in the United States.
Yon avyon de gè enteresan ki pa janm shies lwen aksyon, Ortiz returned to the ring in December 2015 one year after injuring his hand during a third round stoppage of Manuel Perez. The 29-year-old stopped Gilberto Sanchez Leon in his last bout for his second victory in a row. Ortiz was a 147-pound world champion when he defeated Berto in 2011 yo mete kanpe yon konfwontasyon ak Floyd Mayweather. Te Kansas-natal la pase tan nan dènye ane yo nan fim wòl nan sinema tankou “Southpaw” ak “3 a Expendables” but is now fully focused on a return to the pinnacle of the welterweight division.
Berto is a former amateur standout and Olympian for his native Haiti. He challenged now-retired pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather in September. The offensive-minded Berto always makes for sensational scraps as his 2012 slugfest with Robert Guerrero was another Fight of the Year candidate. The 32-year-old thrilled in his PBC debut last March when he stopped Josesito Lopez in the sixth round of their welterweight showdown.
Yon amatè akonpli ki te genyen yon 2006 Nasyonal Gan Golden meday lò ak yon 2005 U.S. Chanpyona Nasyonal meday lò, the 30-year-old Rodriguez enters this fight a winner of his last four fights. Li te fèt nan Repiblik Dominikèn men batay soti nan Worcester, Massachusetts, Rodriguez’s only loss came to the undefeated Andre Ward in 2013. He owns impressive victories over previously unbeaten fighters Will Rosinsky, Jason Escalera, Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna, Craig Baker and Michael Seals. Against Seals, nan bout ki pi resan l 'sou Novanm 13, Edwin rose from the canvas to score a devastating third-round TKO in what was a ‘Fight of the Year’ kandida.
Williams Jr., a 28-year-old from Fort Washington, Maryland, was introduced to boxing by his father, a former pro fighter. A dynamite puncher, Williams Jr. has registered seven of his 13 knockouts in the first round. Sepandan, the southpaw has also proven his endurance with unanimous decision victories over warriors like Michael Gbenga, Yusaf Mack and Otis Griffin. Most recently he earned two victories, including a second-round TKO over world-ranked contender Umberto Savigne last November.
The veteran Montiel won his first world title in 2000 sou Isidro Garcia epi ale nan gen tit genyen pèfòmans sou Pedro Alzacar, Ivan Hernandez, Caps Z, CISO Morales ak Hozumi Hasegawa. Li te fèt nan Sinaloa, Meksik, Montiel rode an eight-fight win streak heading into his October world title shot against Lee Selby. Montiel’s aggressive style frustrated Selby but it was not enough for him to grab a title in his fourth weight class.
Undefeated soti nan Guadalajara, Jalisco, Meksik, Lara fè U.S l '. debut on March 7, 2015 ak yon premye estopaj wonn nan Mario Macias nan Las Vegas. The 25-year-old has ended seven of his last nine opponents early including experienced contenders Jovanny Soto, Jairo Hernandez ak Oscar Ibarra. He looks to rebound from a technical draw in his last outing after the fight was stopped in six rounds due to numerous cuts Lara had received from accidental headbutts.

BILOXI, MISS. (Novanm 13) – Nan yon difuze èkspoze kat batay sa ki te dire yon total de 13 jij ak 11 knockdowns ak kat debouchur, boksè fanatik yo te trete nan yon jou lannwit nan sansasyonalis Premier boksè chanpyon (PBC) sou Spike aksyon soti nan Beau Rivage Resort nan & Kazino nan Biloxi, Miss. Aswè a abouti ak yon inoubliyab tout soti lagè san rete ant heavyweights limyè Edwin Rodriguez ak Michael Seals.
Rodriguez te soti balance soti nan klòch nan premye, jete Seals nan premye a 30 segonn nan bout la ak yon bò gòch difisil. Seals frape twal la, te tounen sou de pye l ', li tonbe Rodriguez pa menm 30 segonn pita. Avèk 10 segonn yo ale nan premye tou an, Seals tonbe Rodriguez ankò, mete yon sèl wonn nan kouri a pou “Round pou Ane a.”
Tou de konbatan te yon ti kras pridan ap vini soti nan kwen respektif yo nan wonn an dezyèm, men li te Rodriguez ki tonbe Seals ak yon men dwat byen ta nan wonn nan ak kontinye fè mal l 'ak pwenson tit nan nan fen wonn de. Te sispann batay la 24 segonn nan wonn twa lè Rodriguez frape Seals ak yon men dwat ki voye l 'formidable nan twal la sa ki lakòz foul moun yo nan Biloxi yo ale sovaj ak mete bout la nan konvèsasyon an pou “Goumen nan Ane sa a.”
Rodriguez te di nan pèfòmans li:
“Seals te vrèman difisil. Mwen te konnen li te difisil pral antre nan li, men li te pwouve li aswè a. Li te lanse pwenson difisil, men mwen te fè sa fè chanpyon. Mwen te resevwa tounen moute. Anyone can go down in a fight, men li si w ap resevwa tounen moute ak fason ou jwenn tounen moute ki zafè. Sh * T k ap pase. Ou jis bezwen kenbe sou batay. Jis renmen nan lavi – ou gen yo dwe kapab jwenn tounen moute.
“Li mete men sou mwen ak kèk vaksen bon, men nan fen a, Mwen te kapab fini l 'nan.
“Se te yon gwo batay. Li santi l gwo. Nou te tou de nan fòmidab fòm. Chapo mwen ale yo ale nan Michael Seals. Nou te bay fanatik yo yon montre gwo.”

Seals, ki plenyen de dislocating zepòl li yo kout pyen an ke premye voye Rodriguez nan twal la, se grangou pou yon rematch di:
“Chak fwa mwen jete koutpwen mwen li te ateri, men mwen deplase zepòl mwen nan premye tou an. Mwen te gen l 'ak pwenson mwen. Si mwen te tout zouti mwen, pa gen okenn fason li te kapab te bat mwen.
“Mwen te gen l 'bat nan wonn nan dezyèm. Mwen konnen li. Mwen te santi ref la te ale nan sispann li. Si li te kanpe li avè m ', poukisa yo pa li te sispann li avè l '?
“Se te yon gwo batay. Li se yon nèg difisil. Mwen vle yon rematch. Tanpri, ban l 'ban mwen.”
Nan rapid nan, ankò aksyon-chaje televize bwat ki te wè twa knockdowns nan mwens pase de jij, Thomas Williams Jr.bay nòt yon dezyèm TKO enteresan wonn sou Humberto Savigne nan yon konfwontasyon pwa loud limyè.
Williams Jr. pwoklame ekselans l 'yo kòmanse wonn nan dezyèm, frape pi rèd toujou desann Savigne ak yon seri de pwenson. Savigne te kapab fè l 'nan pye l' sèlman yo dwe apiye moute kont kòd yo kòm Williams Jr. kontinye voye nèj nan pwenson ki te lakòz abit Keith Hughes fè ofrann nan match la nan minit 1:48.
“Mwen trè kontan ak pèfòmans m ',” Di Williams Jr. “Mwen pa te nan bag an nan 11 mwa ak mwen te pare. Li te santi yon ti kras diferan. Sa te jwe yon ti pati nan m 'ap resevwa frape desann. M 'te vin retounen lakay yo epi goumen yon moun ki gen yon anpil nan pouvwa. Pou m 'vin retounen lakay yo epi goumen yon avyon de gè tankou l' montre yon anpil.
[Sou ke yo te frape desann nan premye tou an] “Mwen pa te peye atansyon. Mwen pa te rete soude ak plan an jwèt. Mwen te ap eseye mete yon bagay leve, li mwen te resevwa kenbe ak yon dwa. I was very surprised. Li souke m '. Li mete men sou mwen ale la mal. Jete yon piki. Li pa t 'fè m' anyen. Li souke m '. M 'te di' Li lè yo ale nan travay kounye a.’
“Mwen te konnen li te ale nan jwenn bwòdè apre li frape m 'desann ak nan kou mwen te pran avantaj de li.”
Apre sa li te santi te yon kòmanse pwomèt, Savigne kredite istwa a fini, rapid sou abandone plan jwèt li.
“Nan premye tou an Mwen te santi mwen te kontwole mach la nan batay la. Te gen yon knockdown flash ak mwen te resevwa dwa tounen leve, li frape l 'atè. Mwen jis te resevwa yon ti jan dezespere. Mwen te ale nan paresseux l ', li ta dwe te kenbe distans m'.
“Pwoblèm nan te, Mwen te resevwa dezespere. Nan koup dènye mwen nan batay, Mwen pa te kapab konsantre.
“Mwen te fini fè pwa, men nou te manke vòl nou an vini isit la ak tout orè m 'te voye jete koupe. Pa yon eskiz, men li definitivman te jwe nan pèfòmans m ' aswè a.”
Envenku Prospect wèltèr Bryant Perrella te resevwa yon opòtinite yo montre konpetans li kòm yon pati nan difuze nan Spike ak pa t 'gaspiye yon ti moman fè yon enpresyon. Seconds after the opening bell tolled, Perrella (12-0, 10 Ko) te ateri yon dwa kraze nan kò a nan Chaquib Fadli, voye l 'nan twal la, sa ki lakòz yon premye TKO wonn.
“Mwen jis kè kontan mwen te resevwa travay la fè,” Di Perrella. “Nou te fè sa nou te fè – ajiste, adapte ak pran swen nan biznis. Sa a se tan m 'ak destine m'. Pa gen anyen ki pral sispann m 'anba akonplisman rèv mwen.”
Nan batay la imedyatman anvan evènman prensipal la, pwisan middleweight Fernando Guerrero bay nòt yon enteresan 7th wonn TKO sou pèrswa brezilyen Danyèl Souza Santos nan yon batay aksyon-chaje ki te wè pwen vole sòti de klòch la louvri. Men, li te yon pakèt rapid nan pwenson ki voye Souza Santos nan twal la. Malgre ke yo te kapab kanpe, abit la balanse nan bout la.
“Pou m ', sa a batay te sou tout preparasyon,” Di Guerrero. “Lè ou ale nan esè ak tribilasyon, ou grandi kòm yon avyon de gè ak kòm yon moun. Mwen gen ekip la pi byen ozalantou m 'koulye a. Mwen te manje, souf ak boksè k ap viv ak li te montre aswè a.”

BOSTON (Me 21, 2015) – Konbatan patisipe nan Samdi a Premier boksè chanpyon sou NBC card took part in the final press conference today at historic Fenway Park in Boston before their respective fights at Agganis Arena, with televised coverage starting at 4:30 p.m. AK/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

Biyè pou evènman an ap viv, ki se ankouraje pa DiBella te Lwazi an asosyasyon avèk Murphys boksè, yo pwi a $250, $200, $100, $75, $50 ak $35, ki pa enkli sèvis chaj aplikab yo ak taks, epi yo sou vant kounye a.

 

Isit la yo se sa ki patisipan yo konferans pou laprès te di:

 

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

A title means everything. It completes you as a fighter. That’s the top of the food chain in this sport, and that’s the pedestal we’re all trying to reach – chanpyon nan lemonn. Everybody wants to be a world champion. The greats had it and now we want it. It would mean more for my city, fanmi m ak zanmi m ', and it’s something I’ll always be able to look back it. It would put me in the record books for life.

 

DeGale is not quiet. Today he’s chilling, maybe because he’s a little out of his comfort zone. But there’s a lot of tension when you’re standing right there next to your opponent. He might just be a little cranky today.

 

I like to lighten the mood and stay comfortable. This is all a part of the game. Let’s have fun now. It’s ass-kicking time when we get in that ring, but outside it’s all love.

 

There was a time when I didn’t want to do interviews. I didn’t want to go to fights. I didn’t want to hear fans online and on social media. I closed all them down because I didn’t want to hear people ask, ‘When are you fighting again? Talking about talent wasted, or saying I’m glad he’s gone.It hurt because there was nothing I could do. I was powerless even with all the power in the world.

JAMES DEGALE

 

Andre says the belt doesn’t mean anything to him in the fight – byen, the belt means everything to me and more. I am here to make history and it doesn’t happen without that title.

 

I could win nan Samdi night and retire a happy manthat’s how much I want to beat Andre Dirrell. But when I do win that title, I am going for the rest of the belts, creating a lasting legacy for my country, my fans and myself.

 

Andre is a classy fighter and he showed in the press conference that he is a classy guy toowhen two fighters who believe in their ability 100 percent and know they are going to win a fight, it is going to be explosive.

 

There’s nothing but respect between us, but ultimately, we’re going to take each other to dark territory nan Samdi lannwit, it’s going to be a brutal battleand one that I am going to win.

 

EDWIN RODRIGUEZ

 

This is home for me and I’m thrilled. I know I have a good undefeated fighter in front me, so I’m looking forward to a competitive matchup. It’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

 

This is an exciting day for me. I saw Pedro Martinez pitch so many times here at Fenway and he’s going into the Hall of Fame. Epitou, my fellow countrymen Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz have made so much history here.

 

Being here today and then having the weigh-in at Faneuil Hall demen and fighting nan Samdi, it’s just an amazing experience.

 

CRAIG BAKER

“Sa a se yon gwo opòtinite pou m '. I’ve dreamed of fighting on a grand scale like this since I first started boxing.

 

The entire experience has been awesome. It’s going to be an interesting fight. I’m going to keep coming forward. I’m going to keep boxing all night.

 

Everyone should look forward to an action packed night, I know it’s going to be an interesting matchup.

 

DANNY O'CONNOR

 

A couple of years ago Ken Casey and I talked about bringing boxing back to the city of Boston. Fast-forward to today and we’re doing it.

 

I’m excited to be part of it and to see boxing in Boston blossom. It’s good for the city and all the young boxers in this area.

 

I know I have a tough opponent in front of me and I won’t take him lightly. I’m planning on putting on a show for the fans come Samdi lannwit.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

I’m an aggressive come forward, in your face boxer from the first bell to the last.

 

I was full steam ahead when I got the call for this fight. I train all the time, I don’t take breaks and I’m always looking for an opportunity. Mwen pa ta ka pi kontan.

 

Danny O’Connor is one of the best in my weight division in New England. Everything he does, he does well.

 

I just need to keep my head and continue to come forward, I can’t get frustrated. I’m going 100 percent the full way through. If I’m busy and I fight smart I get good outcomes.

BIG-TIME BOXING RETURNS TO BOSTON ON SATURDAY, MAY 23 WITH PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON NBC

TAKE A LOOK BACK AT BOSTON’S RICH BOXING HISTORY

BOSTON (Me 20, 2015) – Boston is known for being home to some of the most passionate sports fans in the country, but many may not know that it is also a city that has had a long and rich history with the sweet science. Sou Samdi, Me 23, world championship boxing is officially back in Beantown when Premier boksè chanpyon sou NBC returns with a showdown between Andre Dirrell ak James DeGale at Boston University’s Agganis Arena with coverage on NBC beginning at 4:30 p.m. AK/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

The last time Boston saw a world championship fight was May 23, 2006 when two world title fights took place at TD Bank Garden, formerly the Boston Garden. That night saw British superstar Ricky “Itman” Hatton defèt Luis Collazo in a welterweight world title fight, pandan y ap Eric Aiken fache deja undefeated Valdemir Pereira for a featherweight world title.

Fighting in the Boston Garden was a great honor, never mind in a world title fight, but even a four rounder,” di Tony DeMarco, who won the welterweight world title in 1955 at the Boston Garden. “I had more fights there than anybody (28), including my pro debut. It’s always good fighting at home. You’re more comfortable at home. The fans know and honor you. Boston fans were real fight fans.

 

Boston has been deeply invested in boxing since the early 20th century. Soti nan 1902-1908 the small town of Chelsea that borders Boston became the mecca for boxing as the sport was banned throughout most of America. Sepandan, Chelsea had a special ordinance that legalized boxing. It was during this time that Jack Johnson was faced with what he admitted was the toughest fight of his career, when he defended his heavyweight title against Sam Langford on April 6, 1906. Johnson won by a 15-round unanimous decision and refused to fight Langford again.

 

Anplis de sa, Fenway Park, famed home of the Boston Red Sox, anime 29 professional boxing cards between 1919 ak 1956. Beyond just hosting big fights, Boston has also produced a slew of Hall of Fame talent who were either born in Massachusetts or called the state home.

 

Noteworthy names include Roxbury heavyweight champions John L. Sullivan, Brockton heavyweight Rocky Marcianoand Brockton resident and middleweight champion Bèl bagay Marvin Hagler. Boston’s own featherweight championsSandy Saddler ak George Dixon plus Boston promoter Rip Valenti have all been enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

 

Fighting in Boston was a great experience,” di Jan Ruiz, a two-time heavyweight world champion from Chelsea. “Like any sport, Boston sports fans are true fans who follow your progress. I could feel their emotion wherever I fought. I will never forget them. I fought in Las Vegas a lot and there were always Boston fans there supporting me. I always appreciated them traveling all over the country to my fights.

 

A father-son duo from Arlington, Mass. both had an impact on the heavyweight landscape decades after each other. Tom McNeeley fought heavyweight world champion Floyd Patterson nan 1961 and dropped the champion before eventually succumbing to a fourth round knockout. Over 30 years later, his son Pyè was the first man to fight Mike Tyson after he was released from prison, with the fight ending in McNeeley being disqualified.

 

One of the more unique athletes to come out of Boston, Dr. WilbertSkeeterMcClure was an Olympic Gold medalist, a doctor of psychology and a Massachusetts boxing commissioner. While at the 1960 Olympics, McClure served as the co-captain for Team USA and was the roommate of fellow gold medalist Cassius Clay. While he never reached his potential as a professional, he received opportunities against world class opponents Luis Manuel Rodriguez de fwa epiJose Torres, losing all three by decision. He also lost a decision and fought to a draw against Rubin “Siklòn” Carter. After his professional boxing career, McClure served as a Massachusetts boxing commissioner before eventually retiring in the Boston area where he resides to this day.

 

Another greatly revered fighter to come out of the Boston-area is Lowell’s Micky Ward. Hugely popular for his exciting style, Ward compiled a 38-13 pro record with 27 debouchur. He was most known for the three epic fight of the year award-winning battles with the late Arturo Gatti. Ward’s life and career was portrayed in the award-winning filmThe Fighter”, which starred Mark Wahlberg as Ward.

 

It was great fighting in Boston. The fans were very supportive and knowledgeable about the game,” di Ward. “It was like I was fighting at homeit was home for me as a fighter. Fans traveled a lot to my fights, twò. They were a little crazy, drank lot of beer and were more vocal than most places I ever fought. I loved it.

 

Sou Samdi, Me 23 a new crop of young and hungry fighters will lay it all on the line, hoping to write the next exciting chapter of boxing history in the city of Boston. The action begins at 1:30 p.m. AK inside of Agganis Arena.

Craig is promoted by Sampson Boxing. Craig, if you’d like to say a few words.

 

Craig Baker

Oke, I’m just grateful to have the opportunity to fight on such a grand field again. It clearly is what I dream about. It’s one of those things I’ve always looked forward to since I was little bity kid.

 

L. DiBella

Mèsi poutèt ou. Edwin Rodriguez, the pride of Worchester, Massachusetts and is fighting in his home state. This is his second fight at light heavyweight. His only loss is to Andre Ward, one of the pound-for-pound fighters in the world and Edwin believes at light heavyweight he’s stronger, better and that he can win the title. Se konsa,, Edwin, would you like to say a few words?

 

Edwin Rodriguez

Wi. Premye a tout, I’d like to thank you, Lou, for bringing me back on NBC and giving me such a great opportunity and also to Al Haymon and the NBC crew. I’m ready to show the world that I’m one of the best or the best 175 pound fighter in the world. I just got to prove it and this is one of the steps to do it, fighting an undefeated fighter, Craig Baker, who’s hungry and I’m excited because I know that he’s hungry; I’m hungry to get at that elite level. It’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

 

Q

Wi, I have a question for each of you if you don’t mind. Craig, how do you feel about fighting Edwin so close to his hometown?

 

C. Baker

At the end of the day that doesn’t really matter to me because everyone is out to pretty much beat the crap out of you. Se konsa,, it doesn’t matter where you fight. It’s the competition, and that’s how I take it.

 

Q

Edwin, what will it mean to you to fight so close to Worcester?

 

Epi. Rodriguez

It means a lot because I haven’t fought at home for about four years now. Se konsa,, I’m excited to come back and fight close to home with family and friends supporting me. It’s something that helps me and pushes me to take it to the next level.

 

Q

Edwin, first question; how do you feel at light-heavyweight? Are you more comfortable now than you were at super middleweight? Do you feel stronger, and is your stamina a little better?

 

Epi. Rodriguez

I feel great now. I feel like 175 is the weight that I belong at. I feel like I’m strong and I’m fast and I feel like I’m the best light heavyweight. I just need the opportunity to prove it, and this is one of them and I’m excited.

 

Q

You’re with Al Haymon. Adonis Stevenson is with Al Haymon. Is that what boxing and fans can assume, that this is all building towards a fight with Adonis Stevenson for the title?

 

Epi. Rodriguez

Dwa koulye a, I’m focused on Baker. He’s an undefeated hungry fighter, but that’s the goal. I want to fight the best guy so I can prove that I’m the best. Adonis Stevenson is a good fighter. He has proved he’s the world champion and that’s who I want in the future. Se konsa,, I’m just setting myself up and I’m working hard to look impressive against Baker and to get my opportunity to show the world that I’m on the best.

 

Q

Craig, just what is it about Edwin that impresses you and what will you have to do to beat him?

 

C. Baker

Oke, I’m really impressed with the improvements that he’s made. I see him pushing forward, pushing issues and always in your face. That’s good. Mwen renmen ke. Nan fen jounen an, I just have to show up and fight. That’s the way I take the game. I have to bring my A game at all times and that’s what I do.

 

Q

I was looking at the records of a lot of your opponents. You fought a lot of guys with pretty poor records. Why is that and why did you make the step up a couple of fights ago?

 

C. Baker

I just felt like it was time, youn.

 

Q

Edwin, what impresses you about Craig Baker?

 

Epi. Rodriguez

He’s a hungry fighter and it doesn’t matter who he’s fought. He’s undefeated and you can’t take an undefeated fighter lightly, especially one that defeated a guy that had over 400 amateur fights and was a big prospect in the pros, like Savigne. You can’t take a guy like Craig Baker lightly.

 

Q

You’ve defeated undefeated fighters in the past. Se konsa,, how is your confidence level going in when you fight somebody who hasn’t lost?

 

Epi. Rodriguez

I believe a lot of my skills and I’m very confident, but I’m not stupid. I know that a fighter who’s undefeated comes in with a very strong mentality and I’m ready. I’ve been working hard for this fight knowing that this guy is undefeated and I have to take that away from him. But at the same time, we’ve got to respect everyone because we’re all competitors and it’s all about looking good and winning and he’s just in my way right now.

 

L. DiBella

Mèsi poutèt ou. The main event of the evening is a super middleweight world title fight and it features two guys that have been engrained into boxing since they were amateurs. James DeGale is an Olympic gold medalist. He’ll be facing Andre Dirrell. James is from England; Andre from the US. Andre was a bronze medalist in the Olympics. This is a match of two of the very best super middleweights in the world and figures to be a terrific fight.

 

James is promoted by Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn is on the call. When you go to Q&Yon, if anyone has a question for Eddie, Eddie is available. We’re going to start with James DeGale. James, would you like to say a few words? James is 21-1, ak 14 Ko.

 

James DeGale

Yeah, my time is here. My time is here, pwochen Samdi. I’ve trained extremely hard and you’re in for a treat because you’re going to watch two very talented hungry fighters pwochen Samdi fight it out for a world title. I honestly think it’s going to be a hell of a fight, one I’m confident of winning. Se konsa,, fasten your seatbelts, youn. It should be good.

 

L. DiBella

Mèsi poutèt ou, James. Andre Dirrell, please say a few words.

 

Andre Dirrell

I agree with James. This is going to be a very good fight. I’ve trained my butt off as well. Everything went very smoothly this camp. He’s a hungry fighter. I’m a hungry fighter. We are both in desperate need or desperate want of a world title and I myself feel very confident and I’m excited about this match, youn. He feels like he’s an undefeated fighter. I feel like I’m an undefeated fighter, but we both have a lot to prove, youn. Se konsa,, we’re going to come to the full effect and I believe it’s going to be a great show.

 

L. DiBella

Mèsi poutèt ou, Lòt. We’re going to open it up to questions now. One more time, it’s PBC on NBC broadcast. It will be on May 23rd, Samdi afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend, 4:30 p.m. AK/1:30 p.m. PT. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster, 1-800-745-3000 and we’re going to open it up for questions now.

 

Q

This is for James. This is your first fight in the United States and also, this is the first time a lot of people are going to get to see you because you’re going to be on national television. What are you expecting in terms of the energy and what it’s going to be like performing in a completely new audience?

 

J. DeGale

Yeah. I’m looking forward to it. I’m used to it as well because obviously back in England I’m promoted by Matchroom, a well-known commercial company. Se konsa,, I box on big shows in front of 10,000-20,000 moun. It should be good. They have a lot of Irish and English over there. Se konsa,, I should have some good support and I’m looking forward to it.

 

Q

Let me follow-up with another question. There was a time that you considered retiring from the sport and becoming a personal trainer. Can you talk about that a little bit and looking back, are you glad you made the right decision to continue to do boxing?

 

J. DeGale

Yeah. It’s pretty simple. I was going through a hard time with my promoter at the time and I was a bit depressed because I wasn’t getting my chances and I wasn’t getting the right fights and I boxed on small shows. I basically was a bit depressed and I couldn’t motivate myself properly. Se konsa,, yeah, that was the way it was and then I made the change to Matchroom and things have just gone from pretty bad to really great.

 

Li evidan, my last two performances speak for themself. I boxed Brandon Gonzales, an undefeated American, a confident American. He come over to America and I boxed him front of 80,000 people and knocked him out in four rounds.

 

Then four months later, I boxed Periban. If you don’t know Marco Antonio Periban, he boxed Sakio Bika for the world title and lost on a split decision and I knocked him out in three rounds. Se konsa,, I’m confident. I’m feeling good, and I’m motivated very well at the minute.

 

Q

Lòt, when you brother lost, he lost a close decision .What was your conversation with Anthony like because you lost a close fight you thought you’d won. Se konsa,, how have you been able to converse with him about getting through that loss?

 

Yon. Dirrell

Oke, I didn’t have to say much because he was confident after the fight, but I pretty much had him realize that you’ve had a bad night after he had a terrific camp, but I believe that’s where he left it. He left it in that. When it came to fight time, he had a few setbacks leading up to the fight and unfortunately, he lost, but we saw a lot of things that he needs to correct. I told him to watch the fight over and over again because that’s what I used to do in my fight, any fight that I feel bad about. Se konsa,, I just told him keep his confidence up, man and stay on that run, youn. Don’t lay off at all. That’s all we can do, youn. I’ve learned a lot from past experience and one thing’s for certain; you can’t take anything from the past and bring it to the future. Only confidence.

 

Se konsa,, I’m feeling good, youn. He’s excited for me and I’m going to keep that name alive and keep the Dirrell name going.

 

Q

Everybody talks about the super middleweights, they talk about Andre Ward. But it seems like some people forget how good of a boxer that you are because you had to take this time off. With this being on NBC and getting in front of a large audience, are you looking at this as an opportunity to put your name back in that conversation for people who may have forgotten how good Andre Dirrell is?

 

Yon. Dirrell

People know and in the end, it’s my job to keep my name lean. I haven’t had the opportunity to do that as well. I had a major setback as well, but with that I stayed in the game, stayed sharp. I was sharp in my last couple of performances. I’m looking forward to the future and this is the breakout fight like I said. James is one hell of a fighter. He has a lot of heart, a lot of spunk, a lot of energy, youn, and he wants to win.

 

If you want to put me in front of a fighter for a world championship fight, then James DeGale is bar none one of the best to do it in front of. Se konsa,, I’m excited about this fight. I think this is probably one of the biggest fights from Premier Boxing Champion that they’ve had and I’m excited to be on that big stage. Se konsa,, I want a breakout performance and I did everything in camp to make sure I can do so.

 

Q

How does it feel to be the first Brit on the verge of making some boxing history?

 

J. DeGale

Li santi l gwo, but I need to stay focused and keep my eye out on the prize. That’s what I have to do. Men,, ou konnen ki sa? A lot of people say I’m obsessed about making history, about becoming the first Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain to win a genuine world title. Men, ou konnen ki sa? Se mwen menm ki. I am because that’s what drives me and that’s what makes me train hard every day. Se konsa,, yeah, I’m looking forward to it.

 

Q

Okay, and you touched on a little bit there. I mean not so long ago you were boxing in front of a couple of hundred people at the shopping center in Blue Water and now you’re making noise on TV in America. How does that feel, the difference?

 

J. DeGale

Oke, it’s fantastic. Sure a lot of credit has to go to Eddie Hearn. I’m a buzz fire. I like the big audience. I like the big lights. I’m just feeling real relaxed, chilled and ready to perform pwochen Samdi. I’m buzzing. I really can’t wait; just being in America and knowing that I’m going to make my debut pwochen Samdi in front of millions of Americans and back in the UK as well. It’s going to be fantastic.

 

Q

Lòt, this fight seems to be your highest profile fight since five years ago when you had the Abraham fight, when he got DQ’ed. You were leading at that time. Can you tell us at this point, where are you physically and mentally compared to where you were when you were obviously at the top of the division five years ago?

 

Yon. Dirrell

Oke, I look at it all from a mental aspect. As of now, youn, I’m grown tremendously in my mind. I’ve realized how important boxing is to me and what it takes to become world champion, the work you have to put in and I just follow those guidelines every day. I’m a very motivated fighter, very self-motivated. A lot of fighters run with music, have to listen to music.

 

If I can hear my punches while I’m hitting the bag, I’m motivated. Se konsa,, nothing motivates me more than hard work and that’s all I look for. The fight is won in the gym, not on fight night. It’s what you do in the gym, not how hard you put up a fight.

 

I’ve done all of that and more. I feel very relaxed. I’m very energetic and I’m feeling the vibe already and I really can’t wait to make Samdi myself. I feel I have a lot to prove and I have a different Andre Dirrell to show, one that’s just as sharp, just as fast, just as brave, but just has a bigger mental capacity. I’m excited about next week.

 

Q

What do you think your advantages are over James DeGale in this fight?

 

Yon. Dirrell

We’re pretty much evenly matched and I actually like that scenario because I know I’m faster. I know I’m smarter and I know I’m a better boxer. It’s just as simple as that. Men,, none of that can come into play without hard work, and I know he’s worked his ass off, youn. He has to come over to America just like I went over there to England to try to fight for a world championship.

 

I know what kind of guy I’m going to face come the 23rd. I’ve worked my butt off like I said, , and with those advantages, I’ve put the hard work in so I can display that. I just feel like I’ll be the better man that night.

 

Q

James, tell us why you think you’re confident that you’re going to be able to win this fight?

 

J. DeGale

Momentum is a big thing. Look at my last two performances against good, quality opponents and look his last three. Listen, I come from good pedigree and so does Andre. We’re good, quality, young fighters. But I just think overall, I’m better. I think he struggles. He doesn’t like it when it gets hard in there. He’s a competent fighter, but he likes it when he’s dictating the pace and he’s on the front foot.

 

Well listen, I’m not going to let him rest. He thinks this is going to be a boxing match. Oke, this ain’t. I’m telling him now. This ain’t going to be a boxing match. I’m going in there and I’m taking the title. I’m taking it. I’m ripping it away from him.

 

Q

Do you think you’re a really improved fighter? I know that the loss that you had to Groves was very controversial, but how much do you think you’ve improved since that fight with Groves?

 

J. DeGale

It’s like night and day. Listen, and another thing, I was in this for two years as well. I had two operations on my groin. Se konsa,, I couldn’t throw my shots with any power. I couldn’t run the ring properly. Even in the fight at Wembley in front of 80,000 Mwen pa t ' 100% dwat. Even against Periban I wasn’t 100% dwat. Now I’m 100% dwat, fully healthy, fully focused and mentally right. Se konsa,, you’re going to see me step up again pwochen Samdi.

 

Q

James, you mentioned about being a buzz fighter and this is the biggest stage, the biggest pressure you’ve ever been under. Se konsa,, does this mean we’re going to see your best ever performance?

 

J. DeGale

I honestly do. The way I’ve been in the gym training, bòks, running, I honestly think you’re going to see the performance of my career so far. My last couple of fights after my injuries have been sorted and I just got better and better and I think this one is going to top it and winning my world title as well and making history.

 

Q

Men,, do you deal with the pressure and does that inspire you more?

JamesI thrive on it. Ou konnen m '. I thrive in it. I’m just looking forward to it. As I say, it’s my debut as a professional in America. Se konsa,, I’m buzzing right now. You don’t understand. I’m just really looking forward to it.

 

Q

Lòt. You’ve obviously fought Carl Froch and you’ve watched video of James I imagine. How do they compare as fighters and who do you rate as a better fighter?

 

Yon. Dirrell

As far as skill, I can give it to James DeGale, but as far as toughness, mental toughness, physical toughness, that’s Carl Froch. We all know how mentally strong he is. Se konsa,, I have to give the edge to Carl Froch in that aspect, but as I said before, I know DeGale is coming to fight and no one gets in that ring and fights me as they want to fight. You know what I’m saying? Just like he thinks it’s going to be an easy fight. I feel like I have a lot more to prove as well.

 

Se konsa,, I’m looking to bring the fight as well and I’m working hard in the gym. I made it tough on myself. The more pressure you actually put on me, the more dangerous I become.

 

I’m really excited as well, youn. I have a lot to prove. He has a lot to prove. This is going to be the best fight yet on Premier Boxing Champions.

 

Q

Basically for Andre, there was a chance obviously this fight could end up going to Britain. You’ve been to Britain before and you were very unlucky against Carl Froch. Was that something you were against, to face another title fight in Britain?

 

Yon. Dirrell

I’m not going to say that because I enjoyed my time over there. I believe I won the fight like I said and it just didn’t go my way unfortunately. I don’t like to judge my future fights based on past. I look forward to fighting in Britain again, in England again, the UK again whenever that day may come. I had a lot of fans over there; I have a lot of fans over there and I enjoy my time over there. I’ve been going over there since the amateurs. I enjoy it very much and I’m a world-class fighter. Se konsa,, I want to be displayed on a world-class level.

 

I’m definitely looking forward to it. If it was over there, if it had to be over there, konsa se pou li. I would have came over there to fight James. We are world competitors, world-class. We fight for world titles. Why should it be in America all the time? This is a world-class sport and we should treat it like one.

 

Q

Arthur Abraham kind of robbed you of your great win when he hit you on the floor. That was looking like such a great performance that night. In the sort of layup after that, how close did you come to actually having to retire? Was there ever a time you thought you might not box again?

 

Yon. Dirrell

I was going through some stuff with my family. I actually wanted to. I knew in my heart that I’d get my time again. I knew my time would come. I knew I had a chance of getting out of my contract. Se konsa,, I kept training. Natirèlman, there were times that I would hit slumps and feel like I’m doing it for nothing, but it was quite a stressful time for me. I think I always knew that I would be able to get back in that ring. Se konsa,, I stayed busy and it didn’t really totally veer me away from the sport, but I do know the feeling.

 

I did feel like any moment could come up to where that it could be over just like that and I had to deal with it and I could easily retire. If it happened again, I just might. I knew that my time was coming again. There’s always hope there. I just kept pushing forward and here I am now.

 

Q

One for you, James, quickly. You’re in Florida now. Can you tell us where you are and how’s it going?

 

J. DeGale

Yeah, pa fè sa, I’m in Miami. I’ve been training here for the past week. Se konsa,, we climatized and we adjusted and we’re ready to go.

 

L. DiBella
