“Tampa used to have a rich boxing history and I’m looking forward to bringing that back.

“Collazo is a solid fighter, with a great resume and he has something to prove. He’s trying to take my title home and I believe him. A hungry man is a dangerous man.

“Julio 4^Th there were some nice fireworks, Sur Julio 11 there will be better ones.”

LUIS COLLAZO

“Keith Thurman is a champion, Mi povas’t prenas ion ajn for de li. He’s a champion in boxing but he still has more to learn. There’s not a day I go to the gym and don’t learn something new.

“I’ve had a great camp and I’m sure Keith has too. This is a fight you have to be ready for, not only physically but mentally as well.

“I’m not here for a handout. I’m coming here for win and to bring that belt back to Brooklyn.

“I’m a problem to a lot of fighters because of my style.

“I’m fighting to inspire all the kids who were counted out before they were even given a chance. I always want to help those who have been counted out.

“I’ve had a lot of experience coming into my opponent’s hometown and it can be tough having people against you. But at the end of the fight they could be with you.”

TONY HARRISON

“There’s nothing like the background I come from. There is no place like Detroit. Everybody knows what I bring into the ring.

“I have what it takes to knock Willie Nelson out. Everyone knows he has a glass chin. I’m going out there to exploit it.

“I’ve had a great training camp and I thank my team for that. This fight is a challenge for me and that’s why I took it. Anybody that tall at this weight is a challenge for everybody.

“I’m looking forward to fight and I’m looking forward to the challenge. It’s not enough to just beat Willie Nelson, I have to knock him out. The challenge is to look good and steal the show from this great main event.”

WILLIE NELSON

“I’m the youngest of eight kids. I was raised by my sister. The dirt had more value than my life at times. I have four kids, I’m not letting this guy beat me and take food off their plate.

“How many times do I have to prove everybody wrong? I’m going to do it, #Ankora? foje, Sabate Nokto.

“I wanted to get Tony pumped up today and get him off of his game plan so we can capitalize on fight night. It worked, I even had his team fired up. So I’m extremely confident, it’s on to the fight.”
