My new opponent doesn’t change much. All I can do is continue to stay focused and listen to my team and bring the best fight I can.”
“It’s an honor to be fighting on one of the biggest boxing cards in history and fighting in the same ring as one of the most famous boxers in the world – Floyd Mayweather,” Ugas said. “This is the type of fight that I’ve been looking forward to having since I came back last year after being off for almost three years. This will be my fifth fight in a year. And this is the second fight that I’ve taken on short notice this year. But it doesn’t bother me because I’m always training. Dulorme is a tremendous fighter. He’s very aggressive and very technical. He’s going to get my very best as I know I will get the very best from him. It’s really an honor to fight a quality opponent on a card like this.”

The PPV event begins at 9 p.m. I/6 p.m. PT with undefeated rising cruiserweight contender Andrés “La Bèstia” Tabiti taking ontwo-time world champion Steve “USS” Cunningham en un combat a 10 assalts.
Això és el que els participants havien de dir dijous:
Floyd Mayweather
“I’ve been here before and I know what it takes. It’s my same old routine but I’m older now so I have to let the body rest a lot more. With age comes wisdom. When I was a lot younger I would just train and train and never let myself recuperate. When I come back from resting I come back rejuvenated and with a lot more spark.
“This isn’t just a fight; this is an event. We both owe the fans and everyone tuning in a lot of excitement. That’s what we’re there to give them.
“I know I’m going to face a warrior. It’s not for me to worry about what he does on a day-to-day basis. I have to worry about what I have to go out there and do. I have to execute the game plan. I’m not going to overlook him. That’s why I’m in here working extremely hard.
“When it’s all said and done it comes down to the two competitors. My dad can give me a brilliant game plan but he can’t get in there and fight for me. Same for Conor and his team. It doesn’t matter who the crowd’s rooting for, it’s two men in there.
“This training camp has been a lot different. I’ve spent some time in Miami and in Los Angeles training. I’ve been pushed really hard by the young guys in camp. I don’t need to post every workout video because I’ve been around this sport a long time and everyone knows what I can do.
“On paper we know he’s taller and has a long reach. He has youth on his side. People say that he has power on his side. I know that ring IQ and experience are in my favor. I have the fight knowledge on my side. We both have advantages.
“I know he’s going to come out and try to switch stances. He’ll come out southpaw then go the other way. But all that does is burn energy. Then I’m going to give him a look and give him some knowledge, and we’ll see what happens.
“Conor feels it’s not going to go past four rounds and I don’t think it’s going the distance. We’re both confident in our skills and we’ll see who gets it done.
“My opponent is always confident, but it’s different being in there with Floyd Mayweather. They realize that this is real. But for me, it’s just another day. That’s the mentality that has allowed me to stay undefeated.
“It’s been great to be in a position as a promoter to give knowledge to young fighters. It’s one of my ultimate goals to take a young fighter and make them a household name. I want to take fighters to the next level.”
GERVONTA DAVIS
“I’m feeling great. Being in the same ring and on the undercard of Floyd’s fight is amazing. I’ve worked hard to get to this point and I’m ready to put on a great show on Agost 26.
“Training has been sharp. I’ve been stopping a lot of guys in training. I can’t wait to get in the ring and give the fans a big knockout.
“Being on this card has been a big motivation in training. It feels great and I’m truly blessed to be in this position. I think the excitement that this card brings will be great for the sport of boxing. I’m ready to shine.
“I know I have a tough undefeated opponent who’s going to come in and try to take my belt and I have to take care of business. He has some decent power so I think it’s going to be an exciting fight.
“I’ve accomplished a lot at a young age. It’s all because of the hard work that I’ve put in for my entire life. I don’t complain, I just keep working every day.
“I’m ready to take full advantage of this chance I have. It’s just one step on a long road I see to the top of this sport.”
JACK Badou
“Everything is great in training camp. I’ve been in training for about seven weeks getting ready for this matchup. I’m excited and happy to be a part of such a big event.
“I think this weight is going to be better for me. I’m going to have more power. I’ll be more athletic and style-wise I prefer to fight bigger guys. I can use my speed, but I also like to go inside and break my opponent down. It’s harder if I have to chase them, but the big guys are going to be right there.
“Cleverly has a high work rate and he’s very tough. He’s going to come to fight. That’s what we want. It’s a good first fight for me at this weight.
“I’m excited to work hard these next two weeks and get to fight night. He’s been in some good fights but I’m different than anyone he’s faced. I’ll show how my skills translate to light heavyweight.
“It’s really a blessing to be in this position. I’m happy because a lot of other fighters don’t get to be on this stage. I’m so thankful to my whole team. I won’t let the fans down and onAgost 26, I’m coming to steal the show.
“I’ve done everything right to get to this point. It’s an honor to be in this position. I just have to take care of business.”
ANDREW Tabiti
“This is a huge deal to me. Floyd Mayweather is the biggest star in boxing and to be a part of everything that’s going on is a dream come true.
“I was really happy when I found out that I’d be fighting on this card. There aren’t really words for how blessed I am to be in this position.
“Aquesta baralla significa molt per a mi. This is a chance for me to become the American face of cruiserweights just like Steve Cunningham was. I’m taking this very seriously and I have great respect for Steve Cunningham, but this is my time to take it.
“I’m ready to be a fresh face in the cruiserweight division. I’m going to give it everything I have. I’m humbled by this experience and I’m going to take advantage of it.
“I can’t wait to open the show. There’s a little added pressure being at the beginning of the PPV but I’m going to embrace it and put on a great performance.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions
“Floyd is a lot wiser now. He’s gotten smarter with age. He’s a young man who has an incredible vision and I have a great deal of respect for everything he’s done.
“The older you get, the harder it is to get things going in training. It’s taken Floyd a while to get in a groove, but he’s in a groove now.
“All of these records being broken are because of Floyd Mayweather. He’s been innovative and he always thinks outside the box. That’s why he’s had such tremendous success.
“We’ve been able to generate a great deal of interest in new avenues and bring Floyd to even more casual fans because of the boxing and MMA worlds colliding. This is going to be one of the biggest nights in sports entertainment history.
“Both guys are looking to knock each other out. I believe Conor McGregor when he says that he’s looking to knock Floyd out in the first four rounds. He hasn’t shown me anything to make me think differently. Floyd usually just goes and does his thing, but with some things that have happened recently, I think Floyd really wants to get him out of there.”

Gervonta Davis vs. Francisco Fonseca – IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship
One of the fastest-rising young stars in the sport, Davis (18-0, 17 KOs) became the youngest reigning champion from the U.S. when he knocked out Jose Pedraza in January to capture the IBF 130-pound crown. The 22-year-old made his first title defense in style when he went to London and stopped Liam Walsh in May. Both bouts aired live on SHOWTIME.

The 23-year-old will make his U.S. debut when he faces Davis and he enters this contest having won his last five bouts inside of the distance. Fonseca began his 2017 with a third round knockout of Eliecer Lanzas in March and is trained by two-time world champion Ivan Calderon.
“I am super grateful for this great opportunity,” said Fonseca. “The dream of every young boxer is to fight for the world title and this opportunity comes at the best moment of my career and in the biggest in the history of this sport. I will beat Gervonta Davis and I will shock the world that night.”
Nathan Cleverly vs. Badou Jack – WBA Light Heavyweight World Championship
A two-time world champion at light heavyweight, Cleverly (30-3, 16 KOs) bounced back from a defeat to Andrzej Fonfara in a 2015 Fight of the Year contender to defeat hometown champ Juergen Braehmer last October to pick up his WBA title. Cleverly’s previous title reign saw him take down the likes of Tony Bellew, Nadjib Mohammedi, Shawn Hawk and Tommy Karpency before dropping a contest to Sergey Kovalev. The Wales resident will make his fourth start in the U.S., having won two of his first three contests stateside.
“This is a fight I have wanted ever since Badou Jack moved to light heavyweight and I’m delighted to fight in Vegas on an event like this,” Said Hàbilment. “I’ve trained long and hard for this fight and I’m ready to be let off the leash. This is the biggest fight of my career so far and I’m going to do a number on Badou Jack on Agost 26.”
Now fighting in the 175-pound division, Jack’s final fight at 168 pounds came in a title unification on SHOWTIME in January against James DeGale. Gat (21-1-2, 12 KOs) shook off an early knockdown to floor DeGale in the final round in a close majority draw in which both fighters retained their belts.

The 33-year-old is unbeaten in his last six bouts as he seeks a world title in a second weight class.
“I’m thankful for this opportunity and I’m excited about getting another shot at a world title,” va dir Jack. “To be a part of this event and fighting on this card is historic. Nothing beats it. I’m excited to get back in the ring. I’m getting ready to take that belt, and win a title in my second weight class. The biggest difference between past training camps and preparing for this fight is the fact that I was training to get the weight down, now I’m training to build muscle and perfect my boxing strategy. This will be a tough fight, but I don’t see any issues getting through it. I feel confident and fans can expect a win by knockout or decision. He’s not leaving with that belt. It’s staying right here in Las Vegas.”
Andrew Tabiti vs. Steve Cunningham – 10 Round Cruiserweight Bout
Originally from Chicago but fighting out of Las Vegas, Tabiti (14-0, 12 KOs) recorded victories against previously unbeaten fighters Keith Tapia and Quantis Graves in his last two outings – both on ShoBox: La Nova Generació – as he works to solidify himself as a contender in the red hot cruiserweight division. The 27-year-old turned pro in 2013 after amassing a solid 32-6 amateur record and scored knockout victories in his first 10 baralles. He’ll battle his most experienced opponent to date when he faces the multiple-time champion Cunningham.
“I’ve always been dedicated when it comes to training and this camp has been no different,” said Tabiti. “I know I am fighting a veteran who has a lot of experience, so I can’t slack on my conditioning and training. He’s tough and he’s only been stopped once and that was when he moved up in weight to heavyweight, so it would be a big statement for me to stop him. This fight is a test for me. Anytime you get in the ring you never really know how things will pan out, but I have a great team. To the fans, expect a victory and a great fight on August 26th because I am going to make sure I come out on top.”
En representació de la gran baralla ciutat de Filadèlfia, Cunningham (29-8-1, 13 KOs) returned to action in March with a victory over Felipe Romero after an exciting challenge of cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Glowacki in April 2016.

The experienced veteran also owns victories over previously unbeaten fighters Amir Mansour and Natu Visinia and scored a knockdown of Tyson Fury in a losing effort during their 2013 fi.
“This is one of the biggest cards of the decade and its mind blowing to be a part of it,” va dir Cunningham. “I have to top it off with a victory. Taking on a good, undefeated young prospect is a challenge in itself, but a victory will prove age is just a number. Hard work is a part of my everyday life.”

Andrzej Fonfara
“Hàbilment té una gran mandíbula. Ell és un gran lluitador. Estava prenent una gran quantitat de cops i no trencar. Ell encara volia anar cap endavant i lluita. Ell creia que podia guanyar fins al final.
“Jo pensava que anava a noquejar abans de la baralla, però durant la baralla em vaig adonar que té una gran defensa. No tenia ni idea que pogués prendre tants cops i seguir sent en la lluita. Em vaig adonar que seria molt difícil de noquearlo. El respecto molt.
“No va ser la baralla més dura de la meva carrera, però estic content perquè era un disc 12 rondes.
“Em va donar la sensació que vaig trencar el nas al voltant de la setena o vuitena ronda. Després de prendre tants cops durs Vaig sentir que portava a sota.
“Estava segur que va guanyar abans de llegir la decisió. L'últim parell rondes no hi havia dubte que era el millor lluitador. Ell encara estava llançant cops, però jo estava bloquejant ells i ho va copejar molt dur.
“Què segueix per a mi? Hawaii. Vacances.”
Nathan Cleverly
“Va ser una baralla fantàstica – Tenia la sensació que els nostres estils anaven a quallar i això és el que va passar. Va ser una guerra des de la primera campana i no estic sorprès que es va trencar el rècord de la major quantitat de cops llançats, perquè quan vam començar simplement no aturem.
“Ell realment pot colpejar – ell no està lluny Sergey Kovalev pel poder. Però vaig pensar que el tenia fins que el nas es va anar i crec que sense aquest, Podria haver aconseguit la victòria. Però al final, Crec que la 115-113 estava a punt de dret, i el crèdit a ell, va prendre alguns cops en allà també i seguia arribant.
“Ha estat una gran experiència aquí als EUA. – és un públic molt hostil però tots em va felicitar després de la baralla. Ho faria de nou? Perquè no – que és el que estem aquí per fer, posar en baralles entretingudes per als grans aficionats, i estic segur que hi haurà la demanda del mateix.”
Kohei Kono

“Estic tan feliç que he d'afrontar Kameda i obtenir aquesta victòria sobre ell. És una gran victòria per a la meva carrera.
“Si haguéssim lluitat usant moviment, probablement m'hauria colpejat, però va decidir intercanviar cops amb mi i que em va donar l'oportunitat de guanyar.
“El meu jab era excel·lent aquesta nit i el meu ganxo poques vegades es va perdre. A principis de la lluita no estava segur que podria prendre el seu poder. Però després que ell em va colpejar un parell de vegades i que encara hi era, Vaig començar a tenir la confiança.
“Em vaig sentir molt bé durant tota la setmana i jo sabia que el meu rendiment seria molt fort. Fins i tot abans d'anar-me'n a la U.S. Em vaig sentir millor que he tingut abans d'una baralla.”
KOKI Kameda
He entrenat molt dur per aquesta baralla. Estic molt decebut.
“Anava a prendre una decisió sobre si retirar-se o no sobre la base de la meva actuació. Crec que podria ser el moment de retirar-me.
“El meu resistència no era el que hauria de ser en els últims assalts.
“Em vaig veure embolicat en la segona volta, perquè he comès un error que no hauria d'haver fet. Va barallar molt bé i em va sorprendre pel seu poder. Crec que és hora que em retiri.”

Andrzej Fonfara
“He guanyat algunes grans baralles i estic orgullós d'això, però he de mantenir la concentració en l'esport i seguir fent el meu millor. Només sóc un noi normal. Sóc un boxejador i un guerrer i segueixo millorant amb cada baralla. Això és més important per a mi que s'anomena una estrella en ascens en la boxa.
“Hàbilment diu que és massa relliscós per a mi, però veurem què passa en el ring el divendres. Mai se sap el que passarà en una baralla. Potser és més ràpid i més polit, però jo sóc més fort i crec que sóc un millor lluitador en aquest moment.
“El pla és per a vèncer- el divendres, però si tinc l'oportunitat vaig a noquejar. Aquest és l'esport estem en: sang i suor.
“Hàbilment és realment un gran pas per a mi. Sé que és un home amb experiència. Ell és un bon tipus tècnic. És ràpid i astut, però vull que tipus com ell. No vull vagues que es presenten per rebre el pagament i baixar a la segona o tercera ronda. Vull un home que em diu abans d'una baralla que pot colpejar-. Això em motiva.”
Nathan Cleverly
“Serà una experiència agradable lluitant al pati de casa de Chicago. És una mica d'una aventura. La pressió està fora de forma perquè té les expectatives de l'afició local. Jo només vinc aquí per fer la meva feina i guanyar la lluita.
“Estic segur que serà una bona baralla i vull.
“Fonfara és un bon boxejador. És alt i llargarut. Ell és un bon colpejador i fort. És convenient. Ell llança correcta, cops sòlids, però crec que guanyaré, perquè simplement tinc més eines i he fet més que el meu joc. Estic més nítida amb major moviment. El meu combinació de perforació serà massa per a ell.”
KOEHEI Kono
“Sempre he tingut el somni de lluitar als Estats Units. Jo faré tot el possible per dur a terme fins el caràcter històric d'aquesta lluita.
“Kameda diu que és un "geni carismàtic.’ No estic d'acord i estic aquí per demostrar que estava equivocat. Vaig a provar-Divendres la nit que jo sóc la força veritable.
“Estic orgullós de la meva resistència i l'activitat taxa i el meu poder de cop. És per això que vaig a guanyar aquesta baralla.”
KOKI Kameda
“Estic en la millor forma de tota la meva carrera en la boxa en aquest moment. Vaig passar cinc setmanes d'entrenament de Las Vegas amb Ismael Sales i això va ser el millor que vaig poder haver fet. Jo no he fet res més que preparar-me per aquesta baralla.
“Kono va prometre a la premsa japonesa i els seus fans que m'anava a noquejar… això és l'últim que passarà en aquesta lluita. Em sembla que divertit.
“Aquesta és la primera vegada que dos japonesos han lluitat per un títol mundial als Estats Units, però jo no tinc cap sentiment especial sobre la naturalesa històrica. Això és només una altra baralla per a mi perquè cada baralla que estic en és igualment important per a mi. Fins i tot una baralla a quatre assalts és la vida o la mort per a mi.”
