Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday:

GERVONTA Davis

“My team and I decided to move our camp to Las Vegas so we could have a perfect camp. We spent 15 weeks in training, so I’m well prepared. Hopefully Leo is well prepared and we give the fans what they want to see.

“We know Leo is going to come with a lot of punches and I’m going to be explosive. It’s all about giving fans a treat. I’m grateful to be in this position and I’m ready. Saturday night is going to be a memorable night.

“Not to take anything from him, Yuriorkis Gamboa was just trying to survive against me. It’s harder to get punches off when someone isn’t trying to bring the fight. I know Leo is going to come to fight. I think this performance is going to put me up to the next level.

“I don’t think I have to knock him out, I just have to go out there and be great. Forget everything else, I just have to go out there and show everyone that I’m the top guy in the boxing world. That’s my main goal.

“Michael Jordan used to read the paper and do what they said he couldn’t do. That’s what I’m doing. I have to prove that I’m the baddest man in the sport on Saturday night.

“Leo is going to come to fight and it’s just about me stepping up and doing what I do best. You can see the potential in a fighter from the outside, but you have to see it actually come out in a fight to believe it. That’s the position I’m in. Everyone knows I’m great, I just have to show it.

“Leo has shown that he’s a top tier fighter, and he’s going up against an explosive, powerful fighter like myself. I think the winner should be in the top 10 of the pound-for-pound list.

“Floyd Mayweather has just told me to stay focused despite everything that comes with pay-per-view week. I have to get the job done first, but also do everything that comes with being the next pay-per-view star.

“I’m one of those fighters that knows how to focus when I have something big in front of me. None of the great fighters before me have frozen up when it’s crunch time. I’ve always been able to focus when big things are on the line. That’s what I did for this training camp.

“I’m not really focused on anyone who isn’t Leo Santa Cruz. I can’t overlook Leo. As far as any other fighter out there, they just don’t matter to me right now. I’ll prove it along the way. This is one step closer to proving the point I want to prove.”

LEO SANTA CRUZ

“This is what I’ve always dreamed of. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be on this stage. I’m living that dream and I’m very happy and excited. I never thought I’d accomplish it. I thought it was like winning the lottery. But thanks to the fans, I’m here where I’m at.

“I’m facing the best fighter in the division. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I have to go against the best fighter. I wanted to challenge myself. I know this is a dangerous fight for me, but I want to test myself.

“We’ve both suffered and been through a lot to get here. Neither of us wants to go back to where we started. So I know we’re both going to give a great fight to the fans.

“I have the heart of a Mexican warrior. My dad has told me to fight a smart fight, but even though he’s going to say that, there’s a good chance I end up brawling with him at times. Bisan unsa, we’re going to find a way to beat him.

“I don’t really worry about being the underdog. Everyone has their opinion. It’s my job to go out there and prove the doubters wrong. I trained hard to go out there and do that Saturday.

“Gervonta is the best opponent I’ve faced. He’s the strongest fighter I’ll have faced. The Abner Mares and Carl Frampton fights were great experience for this kind of fight. I learned a lot from those four fights and since then I’ve learned a lot more.

“It would mean the world to me to become a five-division champion. It would be another dream come true. I would put the Santa Cruz last name right up there with the best.

“Gervonta is a big guy and I know he’s going to come hit hard. But I’ve trained with bigger guys all camp and I’ve been able to take everything thrown at me.

“The fans want you to go and make it a back and forth war. I know against Gervonta I have to fight smart. I’m going to just try as hard as I can to listen to my father’s advice.

“I definitely took this fight to quiet the critics. People said I didn’t want to fight the big names. So I went after the biggest challenge in the division and that’s Gervonta Davis.

“I leave the opinions to the fans and media. My job is to get the win and give the fans a great fight. I’m going to give it my best and leave it all in the ring.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer

“Camp has been great. It was unbelievable. I really appreciate the work that he put in. I can’t wait to see Tank in the ring. I’m looking forward to great performances from both fighters.

“’Tank’ accomplished a lot of things that I’ve asked him to do, but this is the pinnacle of them all right here. Both of these families have walked the same line with different trails. They both have a chance to become greats with this win.

“Every time I look at ‘Tank’ now, I flash back to those younger years in the gym with him as a child. Now he’s the man I’ve always looked at him to be. He’s a family man, business man and a wonderful fighter. It’s amazing to see one of my boys all grown up.”

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’s Father and Trainer

“We had a really good training camp and understand the importance of this fight. Leo is fully prepared for this fight on Saturday and I expect him to have a great performance.

“I’m very thankful to be here. I’m so happy to be here with my son for such a big fight and be able to guide him and help him accomplish his dream.

“We know that Davis is a very strong and accomplished fighter. But Leo has just used it to motivate him in the gym every day and you’ll be able to see that on Saturday.”

Esteban Espinoza, Presidente, Sports ug Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.

“One of the biggest reasons I love boxing is because we get to witness young men, like ‘Tank’ Davis and Leo Santa Cruz, develop and mature right in front of our eyes. This is our ninth fight with ‘Tank’ and 13th with Leo. We have seen them mature as fighters and we have seen them mature as young men. We’ve seen them struggle, singot, and triumph. We’ve seen them become fathers.”

“I remember the first time I met ‘Tank’, it was April 2016 sa Washington, D.C. He was on the non-televised undercard of an Adrien Broner fight. He had already fought, he came over during the telecast and Floyd introduced him. I remember his very words, ‘This is my young fighter. Watch out for this kid.’ And we’ve been watching ever since.

“I remember the first time I met Leo was in June 2012. Shortly before his first world title fight. He was a very humble, quiet, soft spoken, almost shy young men. Very different from the guy that I saw in the ring about 48 hours after that. Ang punto mao, we’ve been along for the journey of these young men.

“They have been battling the odds, literally since birth. We were lucky enough to spend time with them during TANANG Paggamit. They opened their hearts, their minds, and themselves to share their stories. The thing I’ve heard most is that the difficulty about this fight is not whether people want to watch it or whether they’re going to buy it, it’s who they’re going to root for. Because if you know these young men’s stories, what they’ve gone through, and what they’ve experienced, it is incredible.

“The bottom line is in these two young men we have two of the most accomplished and popular young fighters in the sport today. Leo has been a champion almost consistently since 2012. ‘Tank’ had sellouts or near sellouts in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Atlanta, just last year. We have got these two accomplished young men fighting on Saturday night. You have to respect their journey, diin sila gikan sa, and respect the teams that come around him.

“We do know what’s going to happen on Saturday night. Leo is going to come into the ring, throw a lot of punches and show an activity rate that’s unlike just about anybody else in the sport. ‘Tank’ is going to show the power, speed, and the athleticism that has made him one of the fastest rising young stars that we’ve seen in sport in some time. Gawas niana, it will be up to them, just like it’s been up to them for their entire lives.”

JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

“On October 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of," – Heraldez

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV® ActionSaturday, Oktubre 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Oktubre 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis sa Sabado, Oktubre 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,”Ni Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. When the bell rings, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”

Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,”Ni Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 sa Showtime. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.

“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,”Ni Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, teknik, ring IQ, ug uban pa, so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,”Ni Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

Sa Oktubre 31, ang tanan nga mga fans nga nagtan-aw sa pay-per-view magtan-aw kanako nga mohimo usa ka pahayag samtang gipanalipdan ko ang akong titulo.

Natawo sa Milano, Texas ug karon nabansay sa Houston ubos sa pagdumala sa top trainer nga si Ronnie Shields, Karl (18-2, 11 KOs) motikang alang sa iyang una nga higayon sa titulo sa Oktubre 31. Ang 28-anyos nagpasulod sa kini nga away sa tulo ka sunodsunod nga kadaugan, sa tanan nga tulo nga daog nga moabut 2019, lakip ang usa ka knockout ni Kevin Watts aron makapanimalos sa usa sa iyang mga pilde sa usa ka dayon nga rematch. Nag-iya usab si Karl og mga kadaugan batok ni Kareem Martin ug wala’y pilde nga si Jose Felix Quezada sa panahon sa iyang pro career nga gikan pa sa 2014.

"Naghanas ako alang niini sa bug-os kong kinabuhi ug dili ko kini pasagdan nga mawala,”Ni Karl. "Nagtrabaho kami nga maayo sa kampo sa pagbansay aron mapahimutang ang labing kaayo nga nahimo sa akong karera. Nahibal-an namon kung unsa ang kontra namon sa Mario Barrios, apan mianhi ako sa halayo kaayo aron dili ko pahimuslan kini nga higayon sa Oktubre 31. "

Usa ka pagkaon sa 140-pound elite, PROGRAMA (24-1, 20 KOs) mibalik sa ring human nawala ang iyang titulo sa usa ka kulbahinam nga panagsama sa panaghiusa pinaagi sa kadaghanan nga desisyon kaniadtong Oktubre batok ni Josh Taylor. Ang 31-anyos nagdaog sa iyang titulo pinaagi sa pagpilde sa Kiryl Relikh sa TKO kaniadtong Abril 2019 ug nakuha usab ang mga kadaugan sa paghunong batok sa kanhi naghiusa nga kampiyon nga si Julius Indongo, ug wala’y pilde nga mga contenders nga si Joel Diaz Jr.. ug Juan Jose Velasco. Ang Prograis natawo sa New Orleans apan nagpuyo ug nakig-away sa gawas sa Houston.

"Kini usa ka dako nga away ug dako ang akong pasalamat sa PBC sa paghatag kanako niini nga higayon,"Miingon Prograis. "Wala ako nakig-away sa usa ka tuig ug sukad niadto nahimo nako ang daghang pagpamalandong sa kaugalingon ug mibalhin gikan sa L.A. balik sa Texas. Mas naka-focus ako kaysa kaniadto ug dili na ako makahulat nga makabalik sa akong numero unong lugar sa super lightweight division. Kinahanglan nga mahimong kampeyon usab ako sa kalibutan ug dili ako mohunong hangtod nga mahinabo kana. "

Ang 30-anyos nga si Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KOs) mahimo’g i-vault ang iyang kaugalingon sa top tier sa 140-pound contenders nga adunay labing kadaugan nga kadaugan batok sa Prograis sa Oktubre 31. Natawo sa Northridge, Cal. ug pagbansay gikan sa Mayweather Promotions gym sa Las Vegas, Labing bag-o nga nakig-away si Heraldez sa usa ka draw sa kadaghanan kaniadtong Mayo kontra sa kanhi kampiyon nga si Argenis Mendez. Ang pro career ni Heraldez nakakita usab kaniya nga nakapuntos sa mga kadaugan batok sa wala’y pilde nga si Jose Miguel Borrego ug gahi nga kontra Eddie Ramirez.

"Kini usa ka buang nga tuig, apan gikuha ko kini nga higayon aron makagahin og oras sa akong pamilya ug mapauswag ang akong mga kahanas sa sulud sa singsing,”Ni Heraldez. "Adunay daghang maayo nga sparring nga nahitabo sa Mayweather Boxing Club nga akong gipahimuslan. Naa koy lisud nga kontra sa akong atubangan, ug kana ra ang akong gitutokan karon. Nagsalig ako sa akong kaarang isip usa ka manlalaban ug nagsalig ako sa akong koponan nga makuha ako sa katapusan nga linya uban ang usa ka kadaugan sa Oktubre 31. Nagpasalamat ako sa Mayweather Promotions sa pagbutang sa akon sa usa ka dako nga plataporma alang sa kini nga away. "

Nakig-away sa iyang lungsod nga natawhan sa Mexico, Mexico, Krus (19-1-1, 14 KOs) wala’y pilde sa iyang ulahi 15 mga away sukad nahulog ang iyang ikaunom nga pro nga away pinaagi sa paghukum. Ang 22-anyos nga lalaki nagpatumba sa 10-of-13 nga kontra sa taliwala 2016 ug 2018, sa wala pa himuon ang iyang U.S. debut sa Disyembre 2019. Ang maong indigay nakit-an nga nakakuha og unanimous decision si Cruz kay Miguel Perez, nga iyang gisundan kaniadtong Pebrero ning tuiga pinaagi sa pagpildi kang Thomas Mattice pinaagi sa paghukum sa ShoBox: Ang Bag-ong Henerasyon.

“Sukad nga nagsugod ako sa boksing, kini ang akong damgo nga makig-away sa kini nga entablado sa Estados Unidos,"Miingon Cruz. "Nahibal-an ko nga si Diego Magdaleno usa ka tig-a kaayo ug kasinatian nga manlalaban, apan kini ang akong oras sa Oktubre 31. Makita sa mga tagahanga nga naa sa akon ang kinahanglan aron mahimong kampeyon sa kalibutan sa diha nga gipilde ko si Magdaleno ug gipahibalo ang akong kaugalingon nga usa sa labing kaayo nga lightweights sa kalibutan. ”

Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KOs) mosulod sa kini nga away nga gikan sa usa ka impresibo nga kadaugan batok sa contender Austin Dulay kaniadtong Pebrero nga nakakita kaniya nga gihulog si Dulay padulong sa us aka unanimous decision. Gihagit sa 33-anyos nga si Roman Martinez alang sa titulo nga 130-pound ug Terry Flanagan alang sa usa ka gaan nga korona, samtang nakig-away usab sa lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez kaniadtong Pebrero 2019. Usa ka lumad nga taga-Las Vegas, Nagdaog si Magdaleno og upat sa lima ka mga away pagsugod sa Oktubre 31, lakip ang 10-round decision bahin kang Artyom Hovhannisyan.

"Labi na akong naghinamhinam nga makabalik sa ring sukad sa akong katapusang nahimo,”Ni Magdaleno. "Ang kana nga kadaugan nakapukaw sa kalayo sa akon ug nakadasig kanako sama sa una. Karon nga naa na ko sa usa ka titulo nga giwagtang, Labi pa akong naghinamhinam nga mobalik sa paglihok. Nag-atubang ako sa laing batan-ong leon, apan nakulangan siya sa akong kasinatian. Ang pagbansay uban ang Bones Adams nakahatag kalainan sa akong karera. Naghimo ako usa ka pagbag-o sa labi ka daghang pagkomposo ug labi ka maalam sa singsing. Ania ako aron maghimo usa ka pahayag ug angkunon kung unsa ang akoa. Dili gyud ako mosibog hangtod makuha ko ang titulo sa kalibutan. ”

The 29-year-old Douglin of Marlboro, N.J. has stood in against some of the toughest boxers in the sport, including 168-pound champions David Benavidez and George Groves, plus 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo. In his last match, Douglin lost on a TKO to Benavidez after winning three straight bouts by stoppage.

The 22-year-old Martin of Washington D.C. scored a unanimous decision victory over Evincil Dixon in his last fight on Aug. 12 as he works his way back from a defeat to David Grayton last year.
Anthony Dirrell headlining in his hometown of Flint will be a great treat for boxing fans in the area,” miingon si Tom Brown, Presidente sa TGB Promotions. “This is something that Anthony Dirrell has wanted for a long time and I’m sure that he is going to be at his absolute best and look to really impress in front of his fans on Nobyembre 17. He will have a tough challenge from the strong Denis Douglin, but if he’s able to get by him, we could see Anthony Dirrell fighting for a world title in the very near future.

Vasquez Jr. stunned Collazo early in the fourth round with an overhand left and pressed forward to initiate numerous exchanges along the ropes. Collazo was able to hold off his younger opponent and do damage with body shots and short punches in the exchanges.
After a more tactical round five, Vasquez Jr. once again pushed forward on Collazo in the hopes of getting his offense going. The veteran Collazo was prepared for the attack and connected on a vicious right hand that put Vasquez on the mat and out for good as referee Bill Clancy halted the bout at 1:27 ngadto sa round.

It was the third straight impressive victory for Ugas, who has put himself squarely in the conversation in the welterweight division. Ugas was in control of the early part of the fight, winning exchanges in the middle of the ring and breaking through the high and tight guard of Ghvamichava.
Ghvamichava was able to work his way back into the fight with an increased work rate in the middle rounds as he began to find openings in Ugasdefense. Referee Bill Clancy deducted a point from Ugas in round eight after multiple warnings for low blows.

Karl was able to weather the storm and compete throughout the middle rounds of the fight as he threw constant power punches in an attempt to catch Ramirez.
The momentum swung to Ramirez for good starting in the seventh round, when another right hand connected with Karl and opened up a cut over Karl’s left eye. A late flurry by Ramirez in round nine as he staggered Karl near the ropes and forced him to hold Ramirez. Karl was able to finish the round, but did not answer the bell for round 10 as his corner put a halt to the fight.
Ania ang giingon sa mga manggugubat sa pag-ingon Huwebes:
Luis Collazo
Going into the fight I knew he didn’t like the body shots. In the locker room my team was telling me that he’s going to be waiting for it. We wanted to touch him soft down low and then go up top. We opened him up. We both tried to line up the hook and mine landed first.
I’m a slow-starter. I’m better from a distance and I have the experience. Ako 35 but I still feel like I have a lot left in the ring.
I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’m completely dedicated to this sport and ready to keep moving forward. Everyone said I was faded but now I have the opportunity to keep going.
Sammy caught me with some good shots. He got me with a big overhand left. Siya sa usa ka lig-on nga fighter.
There are a lot of great fights coming up in the welterweight division. I know Shawn Porter doesn’t have an opponent right now. I’m ready to get it on if he is.
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
I felt like I was starting to get in my groove. He just caught me with a really great shot at the right time.
I knew his big punch was the right hook. I was working on keeping my hand up to block it. I dropped it at the wrong time and he got me.
Obviously this is going to set me back. I need to come back stronger. I hope that I can come back and fight someone that can help me move up the ranks.
YORDENIS UGAS
I boxed from a distance like we prepared. I thought that I was in control and I thought I won easily.
I was surprised it was a split-decision. I thought I won most of the rounds. He was a very tough opponent but I was ready for him and I did what I wanted to do.
I was feeding off of my corner. I’m a top contender and I’m ready to face anybody.
LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA
I’m disappointed in the result. It’s hard to put into words. Kini mao ang usa ka suod nga pagpakig-away. I thought a lot of his shots were being blocked and I thought I countered well.
The referee did his best to control he low blows. You don’t want a fight to end in disqualification. But taking those shots effects everything.
EDDIE RAMIREZ
“Ako malipayon. We worked hard and this is another step. We’re going to keep working hard. I have what it takes to be a world champion.
Ryan Karl is a tough fighter. He came to give it all he had. He didn’t want to quit, but we broke him down and got the win.
Karl and I both came to win. Someone’s perfect record had to go. There was no quit in him. I was going to finish the fight in the last round.
My plan was to break him down. I never wanted this fight to go to decision. I did what I had to do.
I’m aiming high. Gusto ko nga sa pagpakig-away sa mga labing maayo nga. If I keep working hard everything is going to take care of itself and I’ll get where I want to.
I wanted to make him miss a lot while also being aggressive. We were ready to finish him off, we just wanted to go little by little and get the win.
RYAN KARL
I just wasn’t on karong gabii. I couldn’t hit my right hand how I wanted to. I give him all the credit. My timing wasn’t right. He looked great and I looked mediocre.
It’s disappointing. Boxing is my job. I lost a lot in there. I have to get better. All that matters is winning the fight.

Here is what Vasquez Jr. had to say about training, his matchup against Collazo and more:
On his upcoming opponent, Luis Collazo:
This is a very challenging fight but one I believe I can win. Now that Collazo is one hundred percent healthy, I know he’s going to be at his best. We both are trying to get back on top so the fans can expect a great fight.
On his recent training camp:
It’s been a great training camp. We got a lot of good southpaw sparring and I feel sharp going into this fight. All the preparation has been done and now it’s time to fight. I’ll be at my best come fight night.
On what he learned from his first defeat:
It was a tough loss in my last fight with the late sub Felix Diaz. Although we fought another southpaw, our game plan was for Collazo, who is a totally different style. In this game, I must be prepared for any style that comes my way. I know that now and I’ll be fully prepared for anything that Collazo brings.

Sa kung unsa ang buhaton sa usa ka kadaugan alang sa iyang karera:
A win against Collazo will get me right back in the mix of things in the welterweight division. With only one loss on my record, I feel I still have a lot to give to this sport. A victory will open up a path to fight for a world title.

Ania ang giingon sa mga manggugubat sa pag-ingon Martes:
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
Luis Collazo is a really tough opponent. He’s always game. It doesn’t matter who he fights. I always enjoyed watching him growing up because he’s quick, strong and savvy.
This is a fight I’ve been looking forward to. Collazo has fought everyone and he always gives a great fight. I couldn’t have thought of anybody better to have a great fight on television against. Everyone who knows the two of us, knows we’re going to come to fight.
He’s never really been knocked out, just the mishap in the Thurman fight. Collazo hurt Thurman, and that’s a guy in his prime. Collazo isn’t in his prime, but age is just a number in this sport.
We’re prepared. We know he’s a southpaw just like my last opponent. We were originally supposed to face him before Felix Diaz stepped in. The game plan is for me to dictate how this fight goes. I have to set the pace and control it.
As long as I can control the fight, it’s smooth-sailing for me. I know he’s got a hard head and he’s going to come forward, so I think it’s going to be an exciting fight.
Luis Collazo
Sammy is a tough fighter. He’s been moving up in the ranks and faced some decent opposition. We’re both lefties and I think it’s going to be an explosive fight.
This is another tough fight for me. I’ve been in there with the top guys and everyone knows I’m going to give it my all. I’m grateful to be back in this position. There are great fight fans here in Mississippi and I’m going to give them something to cheer about.
I’m blessed to be able to do what I love to do and I do it with passion and drive. I hope everyone enjoys what happens sa Huwebes sa gabii, because I know I will.
I’ve been in this game for 17 years as a pro. I’ve seen every type of fighter. We’ll find outHuwebes night how much I have left. Sometimes fighters can get counted out, but people don’t understand what’s going on behind the scenes. My preparation for this fight was great and we’ll find out Huwebes if it translates to the ring.
YORDENIS UGAS
“Ako nagtan-aw sa unahan sa niini nga away. I hope to give a great performance and continue on my way toward a world title.
I’ve had a perfect training camp and I’m prepared to get a victory. This is my time to make another statement to all of the top fighters in the division. I’m ready for any challenge.
LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA
I’ve worked very hard in training camp to prepare for this fight. I’m excited to be here and have this opportunity to give the fans a great show.
I’m going to give it my all in the ring and make sure I walk out of there with the victory. I know that I have a tough opponent, but I’m confident in my training and my skills.
