Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, sagði Mánudagur:
Demetríus 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, of. 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. Ég var 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, máttur og kunnátta. Því miður, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Já! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, já, 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, of, 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 og ég var 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 (Spjöldin) 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 (Apríl 6, 2015) – Veteran box framkvæmdastjóri John Seip hefur undirritað mjög skreytt ítalska áhugamaður Boxer Daniel Mark Scardina að sérstakri stjórnunar samning.
Seip er best þekktur fyrir að leiðbeina Peter “Kid Súkkulaði” Quillin World Boxing Organization (WBO) heimurinn middleweight titill. The innfæddur New Yorker stýrir einnig vaxandi breska frábær Middleweight Steed “The Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 Kos).
The 21-ára gamall Scardina hails frá Rozzano, bær minna en 40,000 fólk í sýslunni Mílanó. Hann byrjaði box í 2008 á aldrinum 16, eftirfarandi í fótspor frænda síns sem var keppandi á þeim tíma, auk fyrirmynd Daniele er.
Scardina, sem hafði 56 áhugamanna bardaga, handtaka efst heiður í fjölmörgum ítalska mót þar á meðal Rovereto National, National Silver Hanski, og tveggja innlendra Golden Gloves. Hann vann einnig brons Medal á alþjóðlegum atburði.
Í 2013, hann Hnefaleikar fyrir Italia Thunder Boxing lið í World Series of Boxing, vinna aðeins jafningi hans gegn þýska andstæðingi.
Scardina fyrst vakti athygli Seip á þeim heimsfræga 5th St. Líkamsrækt í Miami Beach, upphaflega opnuð í 1950 með Chris Dundee, og heimili óteljandi meistarar heimsins hafa æft þar á meðal Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston og Willie Pep. Ríkur hefð áfram á nýju 5th St. Líkamsrækt, staðsett nálægt á 1434 Alton Street, þar efst bardagamenn frá í kring the veröld eins og Bernard Hopkins enn þjálfa.
“Ég sá fyrst hann þjálfun í 5th St. Líkamsrækt og hann leit út eins og dæmigerður áhugamaður,” Seip útskýrði. “Hann kastaði breiður kýla og vissi ekki hvernig á að kasta góða jab. Trainers Guy Laieta og Dino Spencer byrjaði að vinna með honum og nú er hann að nota ná hans, berjast í fjarlægð, og henda samsetningar jabs og krókar. Hann er ástríðufullur um box, hlusta og læra á hverjum degi. Daniele hefur góða hönd hraða og kraft. Hann er myndarlegur strákur, of. Ég sá eitthvað í honum, óefnislegar eignir, og ákvað að kaupa hann.
“Dino er eigandi sem hefur skapað toppur-hak ræktina með góðu tækifæri sparring í andrúmslofti lögun svo mörgum hæfileikaríkum bardagamenn sem raunverulega ýta hver öðrum. Það er nú þegar ljóst að Danielle hefur batnað færni þjálfun hans þar. Hann er langur, fljótur og öflugur. Vinnusiðferði hans er ótrúlegt; Hann er fyrstur í ræktina, síðast að fara. Þú getur ekki meiða þessi krakki, annaðhvort. Við trúum því að hann hefur mjög bjarta framtíð.”
Ólíkt bardagamenn frá Rússlandi og fyrrum Sovétríkjanna sveitin þjóða, auk þeirra frá Suður-Ameríku sem koma til Bandaríkjanna til að koma faglega box þeirra störf, Ítalska-fæddur bardagamenn sjaldan hafa fylgt sömu leið og Scardina, sem flutti til Miami á síðasta ári og sefur á gólfinu íbúð bróður síns.
The Lone Italian-fæddur heimsmeistari sem börðust fagmennsku í Ameríku er Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 Kos), sem var WBC / WBA middleweight meistari í 1979-1980. Antuofermo, þó, flutti með fjölskyldu sinni til Brooklyn frá Puglia, Ítalía þegar hann var 17 og hann lærði hvernig á að kassi í Ameríku.
“Ég hef alltaf langað til að vera meistari í Ameríku,” Scardina sagði. “Það er American draumur fyrir mig. Ég held að ég hafa a mikill tækifæri í þessu landi til að vera mesta Boxer ég get verið með réttri aðstoð. John Seip er rétt framkvæmdastjóri fyrir mig vegna þess að hann telur að við getum Heimsmeistaramótinu saman sem lið.”
Uppáhalds Boxer Scardina eru Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux og Miguel Cotto. “Ég er að vinna á fullkomnun sem utan bardagamaður og helstu fanginu nær,” Scardina bætt. Ég er að berjast til að verða heimsmeistari.”
Scardina er gert ráð fyrir að gera atvinnumaður frumraun sína í maí eða júní.
