Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, di Lendi:
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, twò. 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, tou. "
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. Mwen te 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, pouvwa ak konpetans. Malerezman, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Wi! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, yeah, 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) Smith. 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, twò, 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 epi mwen te 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 (Pal) 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 (Avril 6, 2015) – Veteran manadjè boksè Jan Seip te siyen trè dekore Italyen boxer amatè Daniel Mark Scardina nan yon kontra san konte gestion.
Seip se pi byen konnen pou gide Pyè “Kid Chokola” Quillin Boksè mondyal la Òganizasyon (WBO) Tit middleweight mond. Natif natal New Yorker nan tou jere ap monte Britanik middleweight super Steed “Stallion a” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 Ko).
Scardina nan 21-zan vyen nan Rozzano, yon vil nan mwens pase 40,000 moun nan pwovens Milan. Li te kòmanse boksè nan 2008 a laj de 16, yo nan mak pye tonton li a ki moun ki te yon boxer nan tan sa a, osi byen ke wòl modèl Daniele nan.
Scardina, ki te gen 56 epizod amatè, pran onè tèt nan anpil tournois Italyen ki gen ladan rovereto Nasyonal la, Nasyonal gan Silver, ak de Nasyonal Gan Golden. Li te tou te genyen yon meday an kwiv nan yon evènman Entènasyonal.
Nan 2013, li nan bwat pou Italia loraj Ekip la Boksè nan Seri Mondyal la nan boksè, genyen sèlman matche ak li kont yon opozan Alman.
Scardina premye kenbe atansyon Seip a nan mond pi popilè 5th St. Gym nan Miami Beach, orijinal louvri nan 1950 pa Chris Dundee, epi yo gen kay la nan chanpyon nan lemonn inonbrabl ki resevwa fòmasyon ki gen ladan gen Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston ak Willie Pep. Tradisyon rich la ap kontinye nan nouvo nan 5th St. Gym, sitiye tou pre a 1434 Alton Street, kote avyon de gè tèt yo atravè mond la tankou Bernard Hopkins toujou tren.
“M 'premye wè l' fòmasyon nan la 5th St. Gym epi li te sanble ak yon amatè tipik,” Seip eksplike. “Li jete pwenson nan lajè ak pa t 'konnen ki jan yo jete yon koutpwen bon. Trainers Guy Laieta ak Dino Spencer te kòmanse ap travay avè l 'epi kounye a li te lè l sèvi avèk l' rive, goumen nan yon distans, ak voye konbinezon nan jabs ak Kwòk. Li nan pasyone sou boksè, koute ak aprann chak jou. Daniele gen vitès men bon ak pouvwa. Li se yon jenn ti kabrit bèl, twò. Mwen te wè yon bagay nan l ', imateryèl, ak deside siyen l '.
“Dino se yon mèt kay ki moun ki te kreye yon jimnastik tèt-dan ak gwo opòtinite bòks nan yon atmosfè prezante anpil avyon de gè talan ki vrèman pouse chak lòt. Li nan deja aparan ke Danielle te amelyore fòmasyon konpetans li gen. Li nan tan, vit ak pwisan. Etik travay li, se yon enkwayab; li se premye a nan jimnastik la, dènye yo kite. Ou pa ka fè mal jenn ti kabrit sa a, swa. Nou tout kwè ke li te gen yon tan kap vini trè byen klere.”
Kontrèman ak avyon de gè nan men Larisi ak ansyen nasyon Sovyetik-blòk, osi byen ke moun ki soti nan Amerik Latin ki moun ki vini nan Etazini a etabli karyè boksè pwofesyonèl yo, Avyon de gè Italyen ki fèt raman te swiv wout la menm jan Scardina, ki demenaje ale rete nan Miami ane pase a ak dòmi sou planche a nan apatman frè li a.
Lone Italyen ki fèt chanpyon nan mond ki te goumen pwofesyonèl nan Amerik se Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 Ko), ki moun ki te middleweight chanpyon nan WBC / WBA nan 1979-1980. Antuofermo, menm si, deplase li ak fanmi li nan Brooklyn soti nan Puglia, Itali lè li te 17 epi li te aprann kouman yo bwat nan Amerik.
“Mwen te toujou te vle yo dwe yon chanpyon nan Amerik,” Scardina di. “Sa a rèv Ameriken an pou m '. Mwen panse mwen pral gen yon gwo opòtinite nan peyi sa a yo dwe boxer nan pi gran mwen ka avèk èd nan dwa. Jan Seip se manadjè nan dwa pou m 'paske li kwè nou kapab chanpyona nan mond yo ansanm kòm yon ekip.”
Bokseur pi renmen Scardina a yo Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux ak Miguel Cotto. “Mwen ap travay sou pèfeksyon kòm yon avyon de gè soti deyò, li nan bra prensipal mwen an pi pre,” Scardina ajoute. Mwen goumen yo vin chanpyon nan lemonn.”
Scardina espere fè pro premye l 'Me sa a oswa Jen.
