Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, sanoi Maanantai:
Demetrius ANDRADE
Reflections of Muhammad Ali:
“Muhammad Ali certainly shook the world, and not only in boxing. He was colorful; nobody talked like him. He helped boxers, liian. Ali is the reason Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.) is who he is because Ali set the bar high.
“As an entertaining boxer, Ali brought blacks and whites together and later he spread the word about religion, culture and his other diverse interests.
“What young boxer didn’t do the Ali Shuffle? I know I did, and taunted my opponents like him, too.”
About Pros in the Olympics:
“I’m for pros in the Olympics as long as an amateur, who has a few Olympic trials, has the first opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. Coming up in the amateurs, I fought grown men, some who had been Olympians a few times. Olin 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, teho ja taito. Valitettavasti, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Kyllä! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, joo, I’d do it now for the chance to win gold. But I do think headgear should be applied in amateur boxing, including the Olympics.”
On the 154-pound division:
“I’m putting myself in the best position to fight for the WBO or WBC title. There are rumors of Canelo fighting (WBO champion Liam) Seppä. Let me fight Smith and the winner gets Canelo. Or let me fight Canelo with the winner getting Smith.
“I’m going to knock out the Charlo twins. Both guys have fought on SHOWTIME, so those fights shouldn’t be too difficult to make. Once I take care of business with the Charlo twins, I’ll fight Lara (WBA champion) to clean up the division.”
On Gennady Golovkin:
“I definitely want to fight Golovkin. Let me build myself up first, by cleaning out the 154-division, and then we’ll have a mega-fight with two different styles. GGG is known for his knockouts. I knock out people, liian, but I’m a better boxer than him. It’ll be one of the biggest fights in the sport of boxing. I’m going to clean up the 154-division, make my reputation and then it’s a go with GGG.”
Relationship with his opponent Willie Nelson:
“We were in the U.S. amateurs together, but because we were in two different weight classes – he was 140-147 ja olin 152 – there were no problems between us. We used to watch each other fight and watch other Americans box.
“Nelson is experienced having gone through the amateurs. He fought (Siivet) Martirosyan, who I beat (for the vacant WBO title by 12-round unanimous decision). He’s fought at this level. I know he’s tall, but I’m 6-foot-1, so our height difference isn’t serious.”
On returning to the ring:
“I’m pleased that we have this opportunity. SHOWTIME has given me this chance and now it’s up to me to prove I can backup what we said.”

MIAMI (Huhtikuu 6, 2015) – Veteraani nyrkkeily johtaja John Seip on allekirjoittanut hyvin sisustettu Italian amatööri nyrkkeilijä Daniel Mark Scardina yksinoikeuteen toimisuhteensa.
Seip tunnetaan parhaiten ohjaavat Pietari “Kid Chocolate” Quillin Maailman Boxing Organization (WBO) maailman keskisarjan otsikko. Native New Yorker hoitaa myös nousussa British Super keskisarjan Ratsu “Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 KOs).
21-vuotias Scardina kotoisin Rozzano, kaupunki on alle 40,000 ihmiset Milano läänissä. Hän aloitti nyrkkeilyä 2008 iässä 16, seuraavat hänen setänsä jalanjäljissä joka oli nyrkkeilijä tuolloin, sekä Daniele roolimalli.
Scardina, joilla oli 56 amatööri jaksoja, jää huippukuvaa monia italialaisia turnauksia kuten Rovereton National, National Silver Glove, ja kaksi National Golden Gloves. Hän voitti myös pronssia kansainvälinen tapahtuma.
Sisään 2013, hän boxed varten Italia Thunder Boxing Team World Series of Boxing, voittaa hänen ainoa ottelussa saksalainen vastustaja.
Scardina ensimmäinen kiinni Seip huomion maailmankuulu 5th St. Kuntosali Miami Beach, alunperin avattu 1950 mukaan Chris Dundee, ja koti lukemattomia maailmanmestareita ovat kouluttaneet siellä myös Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston ja Willie Pep. Rikas perinne jatkuu uudessa 5th St. Kuntosali, sijaitsevat lähellä osoitteessa 1434 Alton Street, jossa alkuun taistelijat eri puolilta maailmaa, kuten Bernard Hopkins edelleen kouluttaa.
“Olen ensimmäinen näki hänet harjoittelet 5th St. Kuntosali ja hän näytti tyypillinen amatööri,” Seip selitti. “Hän heitti leveä lyöntejä ja ei tiedä miten heittää hyvää tökätä. Trainers Guy Laieta ja Dino Spencer alkoi työskennellä hänen ja nyt hän käyttää hänen ulottuvilla, taistelevat etäältä, ja heittää yhdistelmiä jabs ja koukut. Hän on intohimoinen nyrkkeily, kuuntelu ja oppiminen joka päivä. Daniele on hyvä käsi nopeutta ja voimaa. Hän on komea poika, liian. Näin jotain hänessä, aineettomista hyödykkeistä, ja päätti allekirjoittaa hänen.
“Dino on omistaja, joka on luonut huippuluokan kuntosali suurella sparraus mahdollisuuksia ilmapiirissä jossa niin paljon lahjakkaita taistelijat, jotka todella työntää toisiaan. On jo selvää, että Danielle on parantanut hänen valmennus siellä. Hän on pitkä, nopea ja tehokas. Hänen työmoraali on uskomaton; hän ensin kuntosalilla, viime lähteä. Et voi satuttaa tämä lapsi, jompikumpi. Me kaikki uskomme, että hänellä on erittäin valoisa tulevaisuus.”
Toisin hävittäjiä Venäjältä ja entisen Neuvostoliiton blokin kansat, samoin kuin Latinalaisesta Amerikasta, jotka tulevat Yhdysvaltoihin luomaan ammatillisen nyrkkeily uran, Italian syntynyt taistelijoita harvoin ovat seuranneet samaa reittiä kuin Scardina, joka siirtyi Miami viime vuonna ja nukkuu lattialla veljen asunnossa.
Yksinäinen Italian syntynyt maailmanmestari jotka taistelivat ammattimaisesti Amerikassa on Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 KOs), joka oli WBC / WBA keskisarjan mestari 1979-1980. Antuofermo, vaikka, muutti perheensä Brooklyn Puglian, Italia, kun hän oli 17 ja hän oppi laatikko Amerikassa.
“Olen aina halunnut olla mestari Amerikassa,” Scardina sanoi. “Se amerikkalainen unelma minulle. Taidan olla suuri mahdollisuus tässä maassa on suurin nyrkkeilijä voin olla oikeassa apua. John Seip on oikea johtaja minulle, koska hän uskoo voimme maailmanmestaruuden yhdessä tiiminä.”
Scardina suosikki nyrkkeilijät ovat Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux ja Miguel Cotto. “Olen työskennellyt täydellisyyttä ulkopuolella taistelija ja tärkeimmät sylissäni lähempänä,” Scardina lisätty. Minä taistelen tulla maailmanmestari.”
Scardina odotetaan tekevän hänen pro debyyttinsä toukokuussa tai kesäkuussa.
