Fun ẹgbẹ tiketi, jọwọ pe 800-Group-BK.

 

Eyi ni ohun ti awọn olukopa ni lati sọ Wednesday:

 

Amir Khan

 

“I really believe that I have the movement, the skills and the technique to beat Chris Algieri and look spectacular doing it.

 

“Algieri has been in the ring with big names before so we know that’s not going to scare him and he won’t get nervous. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

This is going to be an entertaining fight because of our styles. We both like to throw a lot of punches and there will be a lot of movement. This will be a more skillful fight and I think the fans will enjoy what they see.

 

I’ve always wanted to fight here at Barclays Center and I really am excited to put on a great performance for all the New Yorkers.

 

Virgil Hunter has been great for me as a fighter and he’s helped me really understand the sport of boxing. I’ve worked on my technique and my defense and really just everything.

 

Training camp for me has been really good. I’m focused on my opponent and I’m not going to make any mistakes. It’s going to be a great performance from me on Friday.”

 

Chris ALGIERI

 

This is going to be a great fight with two fast-paced boxers. It’s going to be very exciting for everyone watching.

 

Working down in Florida with John David Jackson really refreshed a lot of things in boxing for me. I got to see new things and try new things. I learned a lot.

 

The only thing that matters is proving something to myself and I do feel like I have to prove something. I wasn’t happy with my last performance at all. I know I belong here at the elite level and it’s time for me to prove it.

 

I like to challenge myself and this is a great opportunity. I’m ready for this, I will challenge anybody in the welterweight division.

 

I feel very comfortable being here in New York and I’m happy to be back at Barclays Center.

 

Javier FORTUNA

 

For me it is an honor to be here in Brooklyn. This will be a great night for all of my fans.

 

I hope my opponent doesn’t have any excuses on Friday, because I’m going to knock him out.

 

Everyone here is going to see a great performance and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

 

I’m a strong fighter and I am looking forward to showing everyone what I am capable of.

 

Bryan Vásquez

 

I’m very thankful to be here and I look forward to a great fight. I promise it’s going to be a war.

 

I’m an exciting fighter who always comes to fight. This is my time and I will not disappoint.

 

Fighting in New York is a great opportunity. I want people to see that Costa Rica has great fighters.

 

I know I have a tough opponent, but he has never faced anyone like me. I’m going to give it my all and I hope he does the same.

 

Makosi Browne

 

I feel like having a daughter has given me the kick in the rear that really has me focused on what I want to do, which is becoming a world champion. I want to give her a better life than I ever had.

 

My intensity and focus has never been higher. The fun part of boxing is back again.

 

I told my daughter that ‘daddy is going to give you the world.So I guess I need to become a world champion to give her the world. Her first word might be ‘champ.'

 

I’m so thankful to all the people at Barclays Center that allow me to continue to show off my talent and skills in this beautiful building.

 

Fighting on this Premier Boxing Champions card is really special and amazing. When I went to the Olympics in 2012 we stayed in Bolton and worked out at Amir Khan’s gym, now it comes full circle.

 

Fans can expect to see ‘spizazzfrom me. That’s a word I came up with back in my amateur days. I’m here to bring that ‘spizazz’ pada, if you want to know what that is you have to buy a ticket for Friday alẹ.”

 

Heather Hardy

 

I don’t look past what is in front of me. I have a really tough challenge in front of me on Friday. I know she has an incredible desire to win and I’m ready for that.

 

I’m a pretty aggressive fighter but I’ve been known to box. I go in there and make adjustments but I’m not afraid to throw punches.

 

There was a really unfinished feeling after my last fight, I was disappointed. I expected more from my opponent. I wanted to put on a show for fans to remember.

 

I definitely want to make up for my last fight this time and I feel like my opponent is on the same page with me about where we need to go to take this sport further.

Here is what Khan and Algieri had to say about training camp, each other and more:

 

Amir Khan

 

Algieri is a fighter that has a lot of skills and assets. His range and height give him good advantages against opponents but I believe with my speed, movement and style it will be too much for him.

 

Each day me and Virgil Hunter are getting stronger and we have built a really good rapport. It takes time to get that but he understands my style even more now and what works for me so we’re only going to keep growing.

 

My aim since I was a kid and got into this sport was to be the very best. I fulfilled a dream when I got to the Olympics at 17 and brought back a silver medal. Later I became a world champion and then unified the light-welterweight division. My goal now is to fight the very best at 147 pounds and make my mark on this division too.

 

I was away in training camp when my daughter turned one last week. It’s hard to be away from her but as a fighter those are the sacrifices you have to make. Everything I do is for her and I can’t wait to see her and spend time with her after this fight. Her birthday celebrations have been put on hold until after the fight!

 

I’m really looking forward to returning to New York and fighting at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. I have good memories of this city because it’s the place where I had my first fight on US soil against Paulie Malignaggi in 2010 and also where I got married. I’m out to make it another good time this weekend.

 

 

Chris ALGIERI

I know that it gets said all the time, but this was truly the best and most intense training camp of my life. Working with John David Jackson has truly been a blessing. He has brought out the best Chris Algieri there is. You are going to see a whole new fighter come Friday night.

 

I am excited to be back in New York and excited to show the world what I am really made of on Friday night. We are just a few days away from the fight and I am so anxious to get in there and get to work.

 

Amir is a tough fighter there is no doubt about that, but I am very confident in my ability and the game plan that coach has come up with for me.

 

You are going to see two proven champions in a high intensity and high level fight, laying everything on the line come Friday alẹ.”

See here what the participants had to say Wednesday:

 

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

I always knew my day would come. I put in the work, I love this sport so I give it what I owe.

 

I’m happy to get a shot at another title. I’m not going to take it for granted. I’m going to put in my work and perform to the best of my ability and that will make me a world champion.

 

I’m glad to be getting in there with somebody who believes he can win. I want someone who will test me like I’ll test them. That’s a real championship fight.

 

I’m much hungrier than I was early in my career and I’m more focused mentally. With age comes wisdom. Everything I went through is all a blessing.

 

My goals are set and I’m going to accomplish every one.

 

James DEGALE

 

Dirrell’s team is trying to get in my head. They must be scared. I’m wound up and I’m ready.

 

I’m obsessed with making history. It’s what drives me to work so hard in the gym and succeed in the ring.

 

It’s been a 16-week camp come fight night, so it’s been a long time. My body and mind feel ready to fight, I am so sharp and in a very good place.

 

He’s a tricky, talented, confident fighterhe believes in his ability. He said that he would not get beaten again in his career, and I am sure he believes that 100 ogorun. So you have two very confident fighters going into the ring lojo satide.

 

I’m going to show everybody who I am. I’m driven to become the first Olympic gold medalist from the U.K. to win a world title and I’m doing it for my country.

 

Edwin Rodriguez

 

It’s an extremely important fight because it’s so close to my home.

 

I’m excited to be fighting on NBC. This is a great opportunity for me to be back at the elite level.

 

It’s important for me to get this win and get into a big fight against the best. I know I have to look impressive and that’s what I plan on.

 

Danny O'Connor

I was disappointed in my fight with Paulie Malignaggi dropping out but there are always positives and one of them is that I’m now fighting in my hometown of Boston.

 

I do a lot of work in and out of the ring to prepare for a fight. I’m full focused now on fighting Chris Gilbert.

 

I want to thank all the people who helped get me onto this card, including Murphys Boxing, I promise I’m going to put on a show come Saturday.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

This is a huge opportunity for me. I’ve known about Danny since I started boxing and I’ve even been on a few cards with him.

 

Danny has been the top New England fighter in my division and you always want to compare your skills with somebody like him.

 

I was in Vermont and I’m always in top shape prepared to get a call to fight and this here is that big opportunity.

 

Gary “Spike” O'Sullivan

 

This is absolutely awesome fighting here and it’s a very important fight for me to go win.

 

When I knock out my opponent lojo satide, I want to be the number one contender in the division and fight all the big names.

 

Ryan KIELCZWESKI

It’s awesome fighting in Boston in front of my home crowd with all of my friends, family and friends in attendance.

 

Fighting on the undercard of this huge event with so many great fights makes the experience even better and one I’ll never forget.

An amateur standout who participated in the first Pan American Junior Championships in 2003, awọn 25-odun-atijọ Fortune (27-0-1, 20 KOs) owns victories over Abner Cotto, Miguel Zamudio ati Patrick Hyland. The undefeated rising star out of La Romana, Dominican Republic holds four knockouts over his last six fights as he looks to put on another great show on Le 29.

 

The 27-year-old Vásquez (35-1, 18 KOs) is quickly becoming known as the preeminent pugilist from the island of Costa Rica. The San Juan-native is the winner of his last five fights, including a stoppage of Sergio Thompson in Dec. 2014. Vasquez does not shy from any competition and will not back down when he faces his toughest test to date in Javier Fortuna on Spike TV.
