Ispod je ono što borci, promoters and other dais guests had to say at the press conference:
Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev – WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion
“It’s a big moment in my career. I want to thank all of the people who are involved with this fight, my promoter Kathy Duva, Roc Nation and HBO Pay-Per-View. Thank you to all of my fans. It will be a fight to remember; one for the history books. I just want to give the fans a really great fight in Vegas and on HBO Pay-Per-View.”
Andre “S.O.G.” Ward – Two-Time World Champion
“I’m grateful to be here today. I want to thank everyone who is associated with this event—the good, loše, the press, sve to. Obviously HBO, Peter Nelson , Roc Nation, Main Events, everyone who’s associated with it. It’s hard to thank everybody. It’s a lot of people that you guys know of that worked on this fight to get it done. There’s a lot of different nuances that go into getting a fight like this done, but it’s done. That’s what we should all focus on.
“I thank God for this opportunity. I thank God for my career and being able to compete at a high level through the peaks and valleys. Sometimes that gets overlooked, a veteran in the game. I’ve paid my dues and I continue to pay my dues. This is just another opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and so has my opponent. It doesn’t matter what the other side says, how they feel, what they say. He’s got to get it done and I’ve got to get it done. When those bright lights come on who it’s all about who executes and who gets it done. I don’t have to throw chairs. I don’t have to cuss. I don’t have to act crazy. I said let’s fight, lets fight. You’re selling yourself. I know that what I possess and what I have is in me, and not on me.”
Kathy Duva – CEO, Main Events
"Konačno. There was a time when fighters didn’t consider preserving their undefeated records to be paramount to engaging in actual competition. There was a time when undefeated fighters who were heading to the Hall of Fame actually sought out greater and greater challenges as their careers progressed. There was a time when fighters were courageous athletes and not simply cynical businessmen.
“The two men who are here with us today—both in their athletic primes, both unbeaten, i, po mom mišljenju, both heading to the Hall of Fame someday—chose to put their 0’s on the line and face each other to find out just which one of them is the very best. That is why they deserve to earn your pay-per-view dollars, this is what pay per view is supposed to be. That is why we should move heaven and earth in order to come to the beautiful T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas where this fight will take place. That is why the winner will earn the title of best pound-for-pound fighter in the ring.
“Since Ring Magazine began to keep records of the pound-for-pound fighters there have only been two occasions when two unbeaten top five fighters have competed in the ring for pound-for-pound supremacy. The first was Meldrick Taylor vs. Julio Caesar Chavez Sr. u 1994, the second time was Oscar De La Hoya vs Felix Trinidad in 1999. That means that on November 19th, this will be the very first time in the 21st century that such an event will occur in our sport. Let’s hope this is the start of something new, a throwback to the way boxing used to be when it was at its best. Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 17 years before this happens again. Let’s hope all the up and coming young sweet scientists learn and follow the example of these young great athletes who sit here today.
“So as I said, finally, I’m quite pleased to officially announce “Pound for Pound” and that on Subota, November 19th, two of the five best fighters in the whole world will fight each other. WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev, koji je 30-0, will risk all three of his world titles against two-time world middleweight champion Andre “SOG” Ward, who is also 30-0. The fight will take place in Las Vegas, sponsored by our friends at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, at the beautiful new T-Mobile Arena. Tickets are available now, they’re starting at $155 right now because the box office has already sold out all of the $55 tickets we put on sale. You can only get these tickets at the T-Mobile box office and online through AXS.com. I’m happy to report that tickets at other prices are moving much faster than expected and currently there are very few left at the $755 price point and the $155 price point.
This will be live on HBO Pay-Per-View. The suggested retail price is going to be $54.95. It will be presented by Main Events, Roc Nation Sports, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions. In addition to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, the fight sponsors will be Rosneft and Corona.”

LAS VEGAS (Avgust 17,, 2016) – Tim Šumenov smatra da je vrijedno pregledati nedavnu istoriju nedavne najave da je WBA Super / IBF svjetski prvak u najtežoj kategoriji Denis Lebedev će se braniti od Murat Gassiev krajem novembra ili početkom decembra u Rusiji: Uvjet za omogućavanje Lebedevu da se bori protiv IBF prvaka u najtežoj kategoriji Victor Emilio Ramirez maja 21, 2016 je bilo da se Lebedev morao boriti sa WBA svjetskim prvakom u najtežoj kategoriji Shumenov Beibu unutar 120 dani. (Lebedev nije izvršio obaveznu odbranu od aprila 10, 2015.) Šumenov je učinio sve da napravi tu borbu, dok Lebedev nije napravio ništa osim što je bježao od svoje obavezne borbe za naslov. Kada je u junu prvi put postalo očigledno da Lebedev pokušava izbjeći svoju obaveznu borbu za naslov WBA, Šumenov je više puta tražio da WBA naredi ponudu za novčanik.
Lebedev je ignorirao WBA, a zatim je nedavno tražio, nakon što je prošao rok za WBA, posebna dozvola koja mu omogućava da se bori protiv Gassieva, na šta se Šumenov zvanično protivio unutar 48 sati. WBA Privremeni svjetski prvak u kruzeru Yunier Dorticos se takođe usprotivio. U ovom trenutku, iako, Tim Šumenov još uvijek čeka da čuje presudu WBA u smislu oduzimanja Lebedeva ako se odluči boriti protiv Gassieva umjesto protiv Šumenova.
Zaista je vrlo jednostavno. Šumenov se želi boriti protiv Lebedeva, koji čini sve da to izbjegne. Ako Lebedev ne brine da ispuni svoje obaveze i uvjete iz svoje prethodne posebne dozvole, trebao bi se odreći svoje titule. Lebedev i njegovi ljudi trebaju se pridružiti nama ostalima u stvarnom svijetu i prestati tvrditi da Šumenov nije forsirao ovu borbu.
Prema nedavnom izvještaju, Članovi kampa Lebedev pogrešno su to prijavili, “Šumenov baš i ne postavlja pitanje” (da se sljedeća bori protiv Lebedeva).

WBA cruiserweight world champion wants
Denis Lebedev fight to happen this summer
|
LAS VEGAS (Jun 5, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) kruzer svjetski prvak Shumenov Beibu(17-2, 10 KOs) stopped No. 11-procijenjen Junior “Uragan” Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) u 10th krug svojih maja 21sttitle fight to remain mandatory challenger for unified WBA Super/International Boxing Federation (IBF) kruzer svjetski prvak Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs). The WBA mandated a Lebedev-Shumenov fight unutar 120 dani of May 21. Shumenov, 32, je 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian who lives and trains in Las Vegas. During his 9-year professional boxing career, Shumenov has defeated four world champions – Gabriel Campillo, Byron Mitchell, William Joppy i Montell Griffin – kao i sedam svijeta za titulu. On je 8-2 (4 KOs) u svijetu naslovu borbama
Below find a one-on-one interview with Shumenov:

Evaluate your performance against Junior Wright in your last fight?
BS: “I am 100-percent a completely different fighter than in my previous fight against B.J. Cvijeće. Ali, at the beginning of this fight, I had a little bit of ring rust. The inactivity is really hard for me. I would like to be busier and fight more often. I already started training and doing light exercises, right after my fight on May 21st. In my next fight, I will be even more different fighter against Lebedev.”
How does it feel to be the only fighter from your country to be 2-division world champion?
BS: “I don’t really think about those things. My main goal is to unify all of the titles and fight all the best fighters.”
You’ve always wanted to unify as a way of determining who the best or real champ is. U 20-11, you almost fought a unification as WBA light heavyweight but then-WBO champion Juergen Braehmer who suddenly went home a few days before the scheduled unification fight. How does it feel to know that you will be fighting Lebedev for WBA super and IBF cruiserweight titles unutar 120 dani od maja 21?
BS: “This has always been my goal – to unify – and I’m motivated even more knowing that I am going to fight for those two titles very soon.”
Do you think a deal will be made between your manager, Al Haymon and Lebedev’s promoter, Andrej Rjabinski, or will it go to purse bid?
BS: “It doesn’t concern me, whether it goes to a purse bid, or where the location is. Međutim, I hope the parties can get the best deal worked out for everyone involved.”
If Lebedev doesn’t want to fight you and he relinquishes his WBA super title belt, where do you go from there, fight second-mandatory challenger Yunier Dorticos?
BS: “I have heard rumors that Lebedev doesn’t want to fight me and, if this is true and he relinquishes his WBA Super belt, then I want to fight Dorticos because every organization should only have one champion in each division. I hope this isn’t the case, as I have been waiting to fight Lebedev since I won the WBA interim title (mandatory) back in July of 2015. The WBA has ordered us to fight unutar 120 dani of May 21st. Spreman sam, willing and able to fight him and I hope he is ready, previše.”
