NATIONAL HARBOR (March 25, 2019) – Owabe wezwe iqhawe Sergey Lipinets (15-1, 11 Kos) stopped former two-division champion Lamont Peterson(35-5-1, 17 Kos)round 10 Sunday night in an action-packed welterweight showdown that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

“I feel great about the statement I made to the welterweight division,” said Lipinets. “I just fought an excellent fighter. This let me know where I’m at in the 147-pound weight class. I went into deep waters and showed that I belong.”

The fight featured near non-stop action and a thrilling finish, already earning Fight of the Year buzz after its’ conclusion. Peterson only occasionally retreated in defense for a moment or two while Lipinets was determined to close off the distance, making sure he didn’t let Peterson use his reach advantage, while using his own varied attack on the inside to occasional success.

“You can see that I have no problem with the size,” said Lipinets. “Peterson is an excellent fighter with unbelievable skills and he’s showed me what I can really do.”

Peterson was dedicated to attacking the body, punctuating numerous combinations with vicious left hooks to the midsection. He was the busier fighter but was still taking shots from Lipinets’ combination of hooks, uppercuts and body shots. Eventually one of those shots appeared to change the tide of the fight, when a straight right from Lipinets connected and clearly hurt Peterson.

The counter put Peterson on his back foot and in survival mode for the final minute of the eighth round until hearing the bell. With the momentum sharply turning toward Lipinets through round nine and midway through round 10, Lipinets finally landed a sweeping left hook during an exchange that hurt Peterson and signaled that the end was near.

“It was back and forth and we were hitting each other with some good shots,” Said Peterson. “It kind of just came out of nowhere at the end.”

Lipinets followed up and put Peterson on the canvas as the towel came in from Peterson’s corner, stopping the fight at 2:59 round 10.

The exciting action fight featured both fighters throwing a career high number of punches, according to CompuBox. Both fighters landed a nearly identical number of power punches (189-188 for Peterson), with Lipinets landing 23 in each of the final two rounds.

“You’ve seen what I did at 140-pounds and now what I can do here,” said Lipinets. “I made a big jump in competition from my last fight to this one. My new trainer Joe Goossen gets all the credit. We’ve had an excellent camp with perfect sparring that taught me a lot and got me ready for tonight.”

“There were no easy days in our gym for training camp,” said Goossen. “I feel like we clicked together and he got the best out of me because he was so agreeable to my methods and the way I pushed him.

“I thought Sergey’s defense was very good tonight. His jab worked good and he put real pressure on. The left uppercut was a good shot for him and he used a variety of punches in this fight to get it done.”

Emva fight. Peterson, along with lifelong trainer and fellow Washington, D.C.-native Barry Hunter, announced his retirement from boxing in front of his hometown fans after a career that saw him win titles at 140 147-esingamakhilogremu.

“It’s been a long career but today is the day,” Said Peterson. “I’m thankful for the support. I love everyone here and I’m always going to support this area, but I’m sure it’s time for me to hang it up. I couldn’t go out in a better way here at home. This will be the last time you see me in the ring.”

The night also featured Anthony Peterson (37-1-1, 24 Kos), Lamont’s brother, as he fought to a split-draw against former champion Argenis Mendez (25-5-2, 12 Kos) in a back-and-forth super lightweight showdown.

Peterson established his movement early on as he looked to pick his spots to attack Mendez with combinations to the head and body. Peterson flashed good speed and was the busier fighter especially early, often putting Mendez on the defensive during flurries in the first half of the fight.

“I could have thrown more punches in the first half of the fight,” said Mendez. “I think that was the difference, but I don’t think you can win the fight on the run.I knew that I was on his home turf and it was in my mind to do a little bit extra. Peterson is a great fighter and he’s good for the sport so I knew that I had to push the fight.”

Mendez began the fight looking to counter, but picked up his offense working off of a jab that swelled up Peterson’s left eye in the late rounds of the fight. Mendez was able to land with left hooks and uppercuts to open up his offense as the fight went on.

“Last night was actually the first night I really studied Mendez’s fights and I knew he was good and slick,” Said Peterson. “There were times I didn’t engage cause of his countering. I took my time and used my jab and moved.”

While Peterson held a robust 137 to 83 advantage in punches landed, it was only a six punch difference in power punches landed. Ngemuva 10 rounds all three judges saw the fight differently, with one score of 96-94 for each fighter and the third judge scoring it 95-95 resulting in the split draw.

“I didn’t think it was a draw,” said Mendez. “I know every round was close, but I think I won the fight. I don’t want to say it was easy but I think I won comfortably. He was running the whole fight and I was trying to throw counterpunches and catch him.”

“I can’t be that disappointed because I didn’t lose, but I was just happy to fight in front of my fans,” Said Peterson. “I’ve been out of the ring for a long time and I think did okay, but if the judges saw a draw they saw a draw. I’m not mad about it.”

Additional action featured super welterweight contender Jamontay Clark (14-1, 7 Kos) surviving an early knockdown to earn a narrow unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Vernon Brown (10-1-1, 7 Kos) ngemuva 10 rounds of action.

Brown scored the first big blow of the bout, landing a perfect counter right hook on the inside that sent Clark crashing into the ropes. Referee Kenny Chevalier ruled it a knockdown, determining that Clark had used the ropes to avoid hitting the canvas.

“He had the reach and I was trying to catch him. I was throwing my hook but I was a little off. I still think I won the fight. I caught him with the better shots. He was just slapping me with the hook and trying to catch up that way.

Clark was able to survive the onslaught and finish the round and appeared to recover until behing hurt again late in round four. Kusuka lapho, Clark began to increase his punch output, out working Brown on his way to a 162 to 97 advantage in total punches landed.

“I boxed a little bit better the last few rounds and used my height,” Said Clark. “I made him miss and made him over reach. That was the game plan.”

Brown tried to do more work on the inside with big power punches that would hurt Clark and potentially end the fight. Ngokusho Compubox, kuphela 49 seconds on average per round were fought on the inside, allowing Clark to gain an advantage in the second half of the fight.

Ngemuva 10 rounds the judges saw the fight close, but all three ruled in favor of Clark with totals of 96-93 kabili futhi 95-94.

“I’ve been down before and I’ve seen the worst of the worst,” Said Clark. “This was nothing. I just kept grinding. I got the win and now I’m going to sit down and see what’s next for me.”

“If they want to do it again, let’s do it again,” Said Brown. “Let’s make it a 12 Rounder. I don’t think he can survive 12 emahlandla nami. My coach knew that I needed the knockout but it’s still on to the next. I’m just going to go into the gym and work even harder.”

Prior to the main telecast, PBC Prelims on FS1 saw Aaron Coley (16-2-1, 7 Kos) win a split-decision over Brandon Quarles (21-5-1, 10 Kos) by inqwaba 77-75 for Quarles and 79-73 futhi 78-74 for Coley after eight-rounds of super welterweight action.

Quebec CITY, Quebec (April 1, 2015) – During NgoLwesithathu final press conference at Le Bonne Entente in Quebec City, both Adonis “Superman” Stevenson futhi Sakio “The Scorpion” Taurus promised a knockout when they meet in the main event of the debut presentation of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on CBSTelevision Network this Saturday, April 4, at 3 p.m. KANYE/Noon PT.

 

The hard-hitting Stevenson (25-1, 21 Kos) will defend his light heavyweight world championship against former super middleweight world champion Bika (32-6-3, 21 Kos) in the main event from the Pepsi Coliseum e Quebec City.

 

The case was the same with the co-main event fighters as both undefeated light heavyweight and two-time Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev (7-0, 7 Kos) and former light heavyweight world champion Gabriel Campillo (25-6-1, 12 Kos) expected to win via KO lokhu ngoMgqibelo ntambama. Campillo, sporting a Tom Brady jersey, even promised he would win in dramatic fashion like this year’s Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.

 

Below are quotes from the fighters and trainers from NgoLwesithathu press conference:

 

Adonis Stevenson:

“I know Sakio is going to try to take my title, but I’m prepared for that.

 

“I know he was a champion. I made the move from 168 to 175 pounds and it worked well for me. I expect him to bring his best at 175 amakhilogremu. He’s a former champ so I’m preparing to face a champion.

 

“I’m looking for the KO because I’m from the Kronk Gym. Knockouts sell. But I can go 12 emahlandla, that’s not a problem. I train for 12 emahlandla.

 

“My trainer has given me a great plan. He knows Sakio Bika very well and we’ll see what happens in the ring.

 

“Bika is still going to have the same power moving up in weight. He should actually be stronger.

 

“I’m very focused because I know Bika is very dangerous. I know he’s going to come into the ring and try to give me trouble.

 

“I’m a knockout artist. I can do a lot in the ring, but first and foremost I’m a knockout artist.

 

“I’d love to unify the belts eventually, but I’ll let my manager Al Haymon take care of that.

 

“My mentor Emanuel Steward always told me that as soon as I enter the ring the knockout is what sells. I’ll definitely be going for the knockout lokhu ngoMgqibelo on CBS.”

 

“I’m ready to go toe-to-toe. Adonis Stevenson vs. Sakio Bika on CBS, baby.”

 

 

Saki BULL:

“To beat a great fighter you have to be your best. I’m looking to take the WBC title back home.

 

“I’ve fought everyone – I’ve never ducked an opponent – and I don’t know if he can handle the pressure.

 

“I feel more comfortable at 175 amakhilogremu. I want to test the big boy [Stevenson] and I feel like I can do that. Ngomgqibelo we’ll see.

 

“He’s knocked people out, kodwa angikaze iye akhishwe. Ngomgqibelo I’ll be the one to knock him out.

 

“I’m very hungry to get a world title back. I trained very hard at light heavyweight to get a title back.

 

“I didn’t come here to Canada just to walk and look around. I came here to take this belt back home and I’m very confident I’m going to do that.

 

“Training camp went very well, we put in good work and now we’re here in Canada ready to shock the world.”

 

 

JAVAN “SUGAR” HILL:

“Training camp was very good as always. Nothing different, just hard work perfecting his boxing and the basic fundamentals. We’re looking for him to make a mistake and catch him.

 

“The way you prepare for an unorthodox fighter like Bika is to make sure your basics are sound. You have to have a good jab, you have to have good movement and you have to have ‘super power’ And I have “Superman.

 

“Emanuel also told me the knockout sells. It’s something that we both know and it’s something that is imbedded in us. We’re looking for the knockout on April 4. Sometimes I see things that Adonis is looking to do before he does it. So I’ll just be sitting there waiting for Adonis to catch Sakio Bika making a mistake and getting a knockout.

 

“I’m super proud to represent Kronk Gym. That’s why I wear my hat here. Kronk to me is like my family name and that’s what I live by. I was born into Kronk when I was a little kid going to a tournament with my uncle Emanuel and all I remember is the Kronk fighters winning. And that’s what I do now: win.

 

“Adonis is an artist, he’s a KO artist. Ukubikezelwa My for Saturday is a knockout on CBS.

 

“There’s been a lot of talk and now it’s time for action. Toe-to-toe on April 4. Ungaphuthelwa it.”

 

 

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM:

“Thina kwadingeka ikamu elikhulu ukuqeqeshwa. Everyone was relaxed. We had great sparring.

 

“He was making 168 pretty easy, but stepping up he’s able to eat whatever he wants. The weight is good. We think he’s going to be good and strong at 175. It’s a good move for him.

 

“He’s never had any problems with power, so I think the extra weight and energy should be good for him at light heavyweight.

 

“All this talk about Stevenson fighting (Sergey) Kovalev has motivated him pretty good. I think it gave him a pretty good picture of how the business of boxing works. He realizes that when the bell rings he needs to do something about it and he’s motivated by that.

 

“I can’t say if Stevenson is overlooking him because I’m not around him enough. But I know the fans and media want to make the Kovalev fight. It was good for Bika to hear that because it motivated him. He knows he has an opportunity to do something about it. Ngomgqibelo afternoon he can change all that.

 

“If Stevenson does what he says he’s going to do – meet him in the center of the ring and go toe-to-toe – this is going to be a tremendous fight.

 

“If he comes to the center of the ring and fights and goes toe-to-toe then this fight won’t go the distance. If Stevenson comes to trade I think he gets knocked out. If he runs around the ring and boxes then it could be a different outcome.”

 

 

Artur BETERBIEV:

“I don’t think this is a big challenge for me. I’m ready to face the world champions and raise the bar higher. This is just another opponent for me.

 

“This is another step that will move me closer to facing the champions at 175 amakhilogremu. I want to put on a solid fight and show that I’m one of the best fighters in this division.

 

“A knockout is never a goal for me. I’m trying to show my work and my dedication in the ring, but usually that’s what happens. Usually I finish with a knockout but that is not my main goal. My main goal is to box and show my skills.

 

“My motivation is to face the champions. That’s why I work so hard every day in the gym. I will get there soon.

 

“Why not face Kovalev? Ngikulungele. When I turned professional my goal was to meet the champions. He’s a champion now and I’d like to face the champions.”

 

 

Gabriel Campillo:

“We started training UJan. 1 and camp has been very good. We’ve been working very hard and I think I’m in great condition for this fight.

 

“Beterbiev may not have a lot of professional experience, but he’s had a very long amateur career. So we know that he’s ready and is a good opponent for us. We’ll see how he handles things once we get past the 5th, 6th futhi 7th emahlandla.

 

“To get ready for a hard-hitter like Beterbiev required lots of conditioning training. We worked the neck and the chin a lot. We think we’ve got a great chance in the second half of this fight though considering Beterbiev hasn’t really been tested like that.

 

“As for a prediction, I’m going to knock Beterbiev out in the seventh round.”

Q

Adonis, so much talk about you fighting the other light heavyweight champions and who the real light heavyweight champion of the world is. What are your thoughts about these other guys and it is interfering with your concentration for your fight with Sakio on April 4 on CBS?

 

A. Stevenson

Yeah, Ngiyazi baye kangaka ukhuluma lokho, kodwa mina kakhulu egxile Bika manje, because Bika is in my face now. I don’t see anybody. I don’t see anybody in my face now. It’s Bika. And I don’t underestimate him, futhi Ngikhathazekile ukulungele kakhulu kuye. I kuyoba ngomumo ngaye April 4. Ngakho, focus wami Bika. Ngiyazi ukuthi babe abantu abaningi kangaka engitshela kanjani ukulwa lokhu, kodwa ngiyaqiniseka enqophileko kakhulu kule guy.

Q

Iyini inqubo for izidakamizwa ngaphambi April 4?

A. Stevenson

Three isikhathi in ukuqeqeshwa eyodwa isikhathi ngehora lesithupha in the morning. Ngakho, they come into the condo and to do a drug test and two times in the training after sparing. I think it’s good for the boxers, to protect them. I’m very glad about that. And when I got to fight, Ngaso sonke isikhathi ngenza test, uyazi? Ngakho, akusikho okokuqala I do the test, but I always to do it. This is fantastic, Ngiyakuthanda ukuthi.

Q

Ucabanga ukuthi kwakudingekile ukuba boxing ukuba lolo hlobo test?

A. Stevenson

Yebo kubalulekile ngoba, kuba kukusiza. Ngakho, kubalulekile kakhulu ukuba baqiniseke ukuthi yonke into ihamba kahle. Futhi lokho ingxenye isibhakela lokho kwemvelo. Ngiyajabula kakhulu futhi bejabule futhi basekele ukuthi.

Q

Sakio, ucabanga ngalokho?

S. Taurus

Ngicabanga ukuthi kakhulu, kuhle kakhulu ngoba sengisizwa [ongaqondakali] since I’ve been here. I think it’s good for the new generation. It goes for this sport. Kwami, Ngicabanga ukuthi uphelele. Akuve ephelele ngoba, Abantu abaningi kangaka [ongaqondakali] umhlalaphansi [ongaqondakali] drug and they never get tested. And now with new generation, Ngicabanga ukuthi kuhle kakhulu, uyazi, for younger kids to try to see if they want to win. Once you come in this sport you have to have been clean. Kuyinto inhlangano ephelele ukuze uthole abantu abathintekayo bese hlola them. Kuyinto lokuyenza.

Q

Ngakho bobabili uzobe ihlolwe izikhathi ezintathu, izikhathi ezimbili ngesikhathi ikamu ukuqeqeshwa, one time ngaphambi fight? Is that correct, guys?

A. Stevenson

Angazi kuye, but for me it’s three time. And we do a piss test, futhi senza ukuhlolwa igazi, too.

S. Taurus

Yeah, for me it was three time. Then two blood test–like blood test and piss test. This is the third time them testing me since I was here.

Q

Umbuzo wokuqala ukuthi wacelwa ukuba Adonis mayelana nokulungiselela yakhe impi oluzayo futhi iziphazamiso sonke baphikisi esizayo, Ngithanda ukuthola ukwengeza umbuzo ofanayo to Adonis aphinde.

 

A. Stevenson

Uyazi, uhlobo izinto like Bika wasendle futhi uye wabonisani yena eze–uyazi, he just keep coming. The kind of stuff like that, I love this kind of stuff because he’s large and keep pressuring. And so, kukhombisa uma wenze iphutha elifana ke kuyoba Knockout ngokushesha kakhulu ekulweni.

Q

Umbuzo wami uwukuthi for “Sugar” Hill. “Sugar”, Ngifuna nje ukwazi uma yamjabulisa isitayela ukuthi wakhethwa ukuba le mpi oluzayo, uma lokhu uhlobo test obulibheka njengoba umqeqeshi.

S. Hill

Ngokwazi ngifuna isitayela for Adonis ukulwa–and actually it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m happy with the selection of Sakio Bika. I have no problem with his style. I actually like the style because he’s coming forward. He wants to fight, and Adonis loves to fight. Adonis likes to go to toe-to-toe, and he likes to box. This is important for the maturity and, for Adonis learning more about boxing to be able to be in it with a fighter like Sakio Bika, who’s a strong, determined and tough veteran who can withstand. He can take a punch. He’s never been knocked out or anything like that. Ngakho, this is an opportunity for Adonis to maybe go 12 rounds or into the later rounds, which can build and add to his career as fighting in later rounds, which he has been able to do. This fight here with Bika is a test, and Adonis loves to be tested. I love for him to be tested as well. This is the only thing that’s going to make him grow and become more of a talented fighter and become a bigger superstar.

Q

Adonis, are you looking at a tough 12 round fight or do you see it as motivation as to being the first to knock this guy out if that opportunity presents itself?

A. Stevenson

It is motivation for me. That’s why I train very hard. I know he’s large as well in his punch. And he wants to keep me pressured. I love this kind of style. And if he goes for 12 rounds I’m ready for 12 emahlandla. I fight and spar. My fight is, sparing and training for 12 rounds.When I get in the ring, Ngifuna the Knockout. I don’t look for the 12 round. If he goes the distance or 12 emahlandla, this is not a problem. Angikwazi ebhokisini. I’m beautiful. I got a good skill. I’m a Superman. Ngakho, it’s not a problem for me. Kodwa, first I’m looking for a knockout. And I think any boxer going in the ring to fight always looks for a knockout. Ngezinye izikhathi, it’s not like that. Kodwa, me, Ngifuna the Knockout. And Emanuel said knockouts sell.

Q

You said that you weren’t impressed with Kovalev’s performance over Jean Pascal. Do you want to put on a better performance? Do you feel pressure to put on a better performance since you said that? What do you think about that?

A. Stevenson

I’m not going to put pressure on myself. “Superman” ungazizwa akusho ingcindezi. Ngizofika ukusebenzisa boxing yami skill, futhi Ngizofika ukusebenzisa ikhanda lami ring. I don’t have to put pressure on something like that. I don’t feel like that. I’m the man. I’m the guy to get beat.

Q

Was Sakio Bika the first opponent they offered to you?

A. Stevenson

Yeah, it was the first. He was the first to open. We’re happy, and we don’t have a problem. And I know Sakio he was light–no, super middleweight champion. It’s very good, because he’s a good boxer. He was champion last two fights. That’s a good opportunity for him, too, to go from light a heavyweight to fight me. And it’s a good opportunity for me, too.

Q

I want to ask you at what point did you say to yourself, “I have to fight,” noma “I want to fight Sergey Kovalev to unify all the belts in the division.” At what point did you say that in your career?

A. Stevenson

I don’t think about Kovalev now. I think about Bika. It doesn’t matter what I said now because I have a fight coming up with Bika. Kodwa, sure I want to fight for titles, but now–for now I’ve got Bika in my face.

Q

You cha bahlatshwa umxhwele indlela kovalev wabheka empini omunye ngesonto ngokumelene Pascal. Kungani?

A. Stevenson

I’m not impressed by it because this is the first big fight Pascal had since Bernard and he fights one time a year before Bernard Hopkins. Ngakho, in four years he fights one time. Ngakho, yingakho angiyona umxhwele ngalokho, ngoba Pascal akuyona boxer asebenzayo like wasebenzisa ukuba emuva ngosuku.

 

Q

Uyazi ukuthi kovalev, because of the WBC is going to be mandatory. I want to know how hard will you press for that mandatory if you’re successful again.

A. Stevenson

Kunjalo, Ngiyazi. I’m ready to fight a title. Kodwa, I let my team, Al HAYMON, care about that. Then after that Kovalev we can unify the title. It’s not a problem for me because the two titles he gets now he gets Bernard Hopkins’ isihloko, and I should fight Bernard Hopkins.

Q

This is a fight that’s going to be on national television in the United States, free TV. Have you given any thought about the fact that you’ll be performing in front of an audience probably bigger than has ever seen you fight ever?

A. Stevenson

Kunjalo. This is a good opportunity for that. And first of all, I want to thank Al Haymon for that, too, ngoba, that’s him putting on the show. And since Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, back in the day it was free. Manje, we offer the public the fight for free and that’s a great opportunity for me. Ngakho, I have a good performance for Sakio Bika. Kodwa, I know Sakio Bika is a tough opponent and he’s very awkward and tough. We’ll prepare for that, and we’re ready. It’s also very good for the young kids, watching the fight. It’s a good opportunity for everybody.

Q

With that big potential audience watching wouldn’t that put you in a position where you’re looking for a knockout?

A. Stevenson

Kunjalo. That gives me a lot of motivation. That’s why I train really hard for this fight and watch–so people watch me. Since Muhammad Ali, I’m the first to be poor and the projects. Ngakho, Ngingumfana kakhulu, very happy, and I’m going to put a good performance. Like Emanuel said, knockouts sell.

Q

Adonis, where are you training this week? Bese, when are you actually going to Quebec City?

A. Stevenson

You know I opened a new gym in Quebec City. This is a good opportunity for me to train in my hometown. This is the first time since 2011. I can see my kid, too. Ngakho, Ngiyakuthanda ukuthi. And we train very hard, me and my trainer. We put the hard work pay off. This is different. This is a good opportunity for me, futhi ngiyamthanda ukuthi.

Q

Ngakho, uku in Quebec City manje ke?

A. Stevenson

I’m in Montreal now. Quebec City, Ngizofika kuleli sonto.

Q

Ngakho, lapho empeleni uya Quebec City?

A. Stevenson

Sunday.

Q

Again, my question goes to Adonis. I just want to know if a knockout is the result that you absolutely need or would you be disappointed if you didn’t win by a knockout against Bika?

A. Stevenson

I know Bika is a tough opponent. Ngakho, Ngikhathazekile ukulungele 12 emahlandla. Uma Knockout kukhona, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. Kodwa, in the ring, Ngifuna the Knockout. Ngakho, it doesn’t matter for me, but I’m always looking for the knockout. That’s a Kronk. The Kronk Gym and my team we’re looking for that. Since the Kronk it’s been a while. They’re always looking for the knockout. If you’re training in the Kronk Gym and any fighter is looking for the knockout.

Q

Kodwa, it can be dangerous to always be looking for a knockout because then if you don’t get it as quickly as you want then you can get away from your style of boxing. Is that something that worries you?

A. Stevenson

We can go 12 round. It’s not a problem for me. We train for that. We train for that. I can go 12 round. And I’m from Kronk Gym, Detroit. And this place, we have a good, good trainer like Emanuel “Sugar” Hill. They know boxing. They teach me very well my skill and everything and my balance. They know boxing. And so, they know if the knockout is not there, but we’re going to work. We’re going to use the good ability to go for 12 emahlandla. It’s not a problem.

Q

Sakio, I just want to know, how does it feel for you in this training camp to train for a light heavyweight fight after having spent pretty much your entire career at a super middleweight?

S. Taurus

I feel it was a new challenge to go up and try to fight the big bull. When you see my regimen, nobody ever wants to fight me. It was always a little bit difficult because people don’t want to fight me. For me it’s a big challenge because Stevenson, Adonis is a great champion and I want to become the world champion in life. I’m very sure I can handle him. And come April 4, because I have a good preparation, , a great sparing partner, I just looking for you to see how I can handle the big bull. Adonis is the first one for me at this weight, but I just feel confident, I feel positive. Ngikulungele, uyazi, to go there and show the people in the world I can beat Adonis Stevenson on April 4. I want to tell the big bull. I want to move up in light heavyweight division, futhiApril 4 people are going to be see it.

Q

Does the weight feel better for you? Do you see yourself staying at light heavyweight?

S. Taurus

I see myself like a light heavyweight. I see myself at light heavyweight because you see so many world champions. For me just it’s just a challenge. I want to challenge myself. Engingakwenza ukukhanya esindayo lula. It would be a struggle to do super middleweight. Uyazi, Engingakwenza ukukhanya sosondonzima ngempela kalula. Angikwazi ukusingatha bull big, ngoba ngenza wonke umuntu. This is a big opportunity for me to try to see if can I handle the big bull. I can handle Adonis. njenge April 4, I will try to test myself. You all ready? Ngikulungele. I abe ukulungiselela kahle,. Siqeqeshe kanzima kakhulu kule mpi. Ngibheke nje ukuza Quebec futhi unakekele ibhizinisi.

Q

Ngesikhathi esifanayo ubungase at the fight Sergey kovalev / Jean Pascal, futhi waya HBO umhlaziyi ngesikhathi, Bernard Hopkins, and you told him that you guarantee that you will fight Sergey Kovalev. I wanted to see what your answer was to what you think of Sergey Kovalev and his performance ngomgqibeloebusuku umbhangqwana izimpelasonto edlule.

A. Stevenson

Pascal akunandaba manje ngoba thina ukhuluma ngani Bika. I niyolwa April 4 nge Bika. Kuyinto onzima kakhulu mayelana Bika and don jazy akuyona umuntu manje uma ngicabanga nilwe kovalev and Pascal bese emva ngathi, “Well, yeah, Ngizofika ukulwa.” He’s not a person for me now. The person now is Bika.

Q

You okuqinisekisiwe ukuthi impi yakho esilandelayo sasizoba ngokumelene kovalev emuva May ngonyaka odlule emva 12 rounds against Fonfara. You beat Fonfara.

A. Stevenson

You can’t guarantee. It’s not working like that. It’s not football. It’s not hockey. And one punch can change anything. So now I got Bika in my face, and I’m very focused with Bika, because I know this guy gives problems to all the champions. He was champion. And I know this fighter is tough.

L. Milner

Okay. Gentlemen, thank you so much for your time. I think this call really set in motion a great week and a half heading into the fight. Ngakho, thank you so much. We’re going to switch over to Mr. Beterbiev.

Artur Beterbiev

I like my training, and I am training hard. And it was all planned. Ngakho, it all went according to the plan. It’s a serious opponent. I can’t wait to have that fight.

Q

Artur, you defeated Sergey Kovalev in the amateurs. What do you think of him as far as a professional opponent right now?

A. Beterbiev

Taking into consideration all his statements that he recently produced, I would like to meet with him and put him back in his place in professional.

Q

What do you remember about him as a guy who’s fighting you? What do you remember?

A. Beterbiev

I have a very good memory. Ngakho, I did beat him twice in the amateur ranks, but I’m more focused on the future right now. I would like to beat him again.

Q

Artur, could you describe how you feel your career is going up at this point?

A. Beterbiev

I like the way I’ve been led in my professional career. I’m training everyday and working everyday and always thinking about that. I always try to improve and improve my not that strong parts, as part of my preparation.I’m not a future teller. Ngakho, I’m ready to meet all the solid opponents. And I’m ready for the championship of the world, and I’m ready for any case scenario.

Q

Is there any interest in you fighting the winner of Stevenson/Bika?

A. Beterbiev

I could fight anybody.

Q

What do you think of Campillo and what kind of challenges does Campillo presents to you because he has so much more professional experience than he has?

A. Beterbiev

Yebo, I have a lot of respect for Campillo because he’s very experienced. For sure he has more experience than I do. He has experience winning and losing, and he’s a solid opponent, but the fight’s going to show if his professional language could help him in this fight.

Q

What do you learn from a knockdown?

A Beterbiev

I don’t think that was a knockdown. I just lost my balance for an instant. I recovered right away instantly. But I still think that this is a good lesson for me for this not to happen in the future. And I’m going to try to avoid any dangerous situations in my future.

Q

How do you see Campillo, what kind of a fighter is he, and is there any part of his style–any elements of his style that can be worrisome?

A. Beterbiev

This is a solid opponent.He’s working very well, very experienced at attack. He’s very experienced at defense. The fight is going to show what’s going to happen.
