Entrevista de Gianluca Di Caro.

El tema de esta entrevista es Dayle Gallagher, quien está demostrando ser uno de los prospectos jóvenes más emocionantes que han surgido en la escena del boxeo de Merseyside en los últimos años.

 

El viernes de marzo 3rd Dayle está listo para competir en su pelea más dura hasta la fecha, una ronda de seis en el Hanger 34 Club en Liverpool, contra Michael Kelly de Belfast, un luchador probado del campeonato, quien en el último año ha peleado contra el francés Mohamed Larabi por el título internacional de la WBF y más recientemente contra Lee McAllister de Escocia por el cinturón intercontinental de la WBF, además de competir en grandes eventos televisados ​​en Rusia y Suecia.

 

Invicto en cuatro salidas hasta la fecha, dos por paros anticipados, contra Alekseis Nikitenko, en mayo 2015 y Jak Johnson en diciembre 2016, y dos por decisión de puntos sólidos, Marty Kayes en abril 2016 y Phil Townley en junio del mismo año, Dayle ya ha llamado la atención de algunos de los nombres más importantes del deporte., incluido el dos veces campeón mundial Amir Khan.

 

De hecho, cortesía del Sr. Khan y su equipo., Dayle se ganó firmemente su lugar en los libros de Historia del deporte., como el primer ganador de un concurso de boxeo profesional en Pakistán, tras su excelente victoria sobre Phil Townley de Belfast en junio del año pasado.

 

Más sobre eso más tarde, como ahora mismo creo que es hora de continuar con la entrevista.

 

Gianluca

Gracias por hablar conmigo hoy Dayle, mientras que obviamente esta entrevista es sobre tu carrera profesional, especialmente la próxima pelea contra Michael Kelly en 3 de marzo, Me gustaría comenzar la entrevista contándoles a los lectores un poco sobre su boxeo no profesional., especialmente tu carrera amateur, que tengo entendido que comenzó con una victoria sobre uno de los mejores de la división en ese momento.

 

Dayle

Comencé a boxear a la edad de 14, Después de entrenar durante más de un año, tuve algunos eventos entre clubes antes de tener mi primera pelea amateur que fue con poca antelación para representar a Liverpool, mi ciudad natal., que estaba contra el galés número uno en ese momento en su ciudad natal Wrexham.

 

Siempre recuerdo a mi entrenador diciendo que nadie quiere pelear con este muchacho, así que ve a noquearlo., y en la segunda vuelta, después de derribarlo dos veces, el árbitro no tuvo otra opción para detenerlo..

 

Muchas personas me dijeron que tenía un futuro brillante en el deporte, pero mi enfoque en ese momento era convertirme en un jugador de fútbol profesional, lo que terminó en una lesión realmente grave y después 18 meses de fisioterapia y rehabilitación de mi lesión.

 

Finalmente volví al boxeo para estar en forma e inmediatamente me enamoré del deporte., Después de unos meses de entrenamiento, me peleé de cuello blanco en Newcastle..

 

Después de ganar eso, obtuve muchos comentarios positivos y me di cuenta de que tenía que empezar a tomarme esto en serio y ver hasta dónde puedo llegar en el deporte., Gané zona norte, Los títulos británicos y europeos en la escena sin licencia se dieron cuenta de que tenía que pasar al lado profesional del juego..

 

 

Gianluca

Tu carrera profesional tuvo un buen comienzo, con una victoria por detención sobre el letón Aleksejs Nikitenko, en primer lugar, ¿cómo se sintió boxear en las filas profesionales por primera vez y, en segundo lugar, puede dar su opinión de la pelea, por favor??

 

Dayle

A pesar de que había estado en el ring muchas veces antes, mi debut profesional me puso más nervioso que cualquier otra pelea, pero la sensación no podría haber sido mejor.

 

La pelea no duró mucho 1 minuto creo que antes el árbitro tuvo que interferir y detener la pelea que llevó a mi primera victoria en las filas profesionales y es un día que nunca olvidaré.

 

 

Gianluca

Pasó casi un año antes de que volvieras al ring, contra Marty Kayes en abril del año pasado, pero incluso con tanto tiempo entre peleas, estabas en plena forma, vencer a Marty en puntos. ¿Cómo se las arregló para mantenerse motivado durante esta y otra vez? Por favor, brinde a los lectores su punto de vista de la pelea.?

 

Dayle

Fue muy difícil porque estaba pasando por muchas complicaciones con mi promotor en ese momento y no podía pelear y pensé que nunca volvería a pelear., pero después de un largo período fuera, mi hermano me ayudó y me consiguió una pelea.

 

Sabía mucho sobre Marty y sabía que no sería fácil saber la experiencia que tenía., pero quería mostrarles a todos que incluso con todo este tiempo fuera lo bueno que puedo ser, obtuve la victoria y sentí que nunca había tenido tiempo fuera del ring..

 

 

Gianluca

Tu próxima pelea, contra Phil Townley, llegó solo unos meses después y lo que es más fue en el extranjero en un evento histórico, el primer evento de boxeo profesional que se lleva a cabo en Pakistán. ¿Pueden por favor contarles a los lectores en primer lugar cómo sucedió esto y también contarles a los lectores no solo sobre la pelea sino también sobre toda la experiencia??

 

Dayle

Realmente no creía que fuera cierto cuando me enteré de Pakistán.. Acababa de regresar de mis vacaciones y al minuto siguiente hablo por teléfono con el tío de Amir Khan sobre una posible pelea en Pakistán..

 

Aunque sabía que no estaba en mi mejor forma o en mi peso preferido, no podía perder la oportunidad, así que subí dos categorías de peso solo por la oportunidad..

 

Un par de horas después de que me ofrecieron la pelea, estaba en Bolton en la Academia Amir Khan completando todo mi papeleo y mi visa y literalmente Tres días después estaba en un avión que iba a pelear en Pakistán.

 

Al llegar a Pakistán me trataron como a la realeza, mis maletas fueron recogidas y llevadas para mí. El ejército y la policía de Pakistán me recibieron y me acompañaron a mi hotel..

 

Nunca podría agradecer lo suficiente a la gente de Pakistán por cómo hicieron que mi tiempo allí fuera tan bienvenido., Es un gran país con grandes personas, incluso cuando luché contra ellos gritaban mi nombre, tanto que pensé que estaba de vuelta en Liverpool con un público local.

 

Fue una de las experiencias más increíbles de mi vida y una que tendré por el resto de mi vida, ya que hice historia como el primer boxeador profesional en pelear y ganar en suelo pakistaní..

 

 

Gianluca

Tu cuarta pelea, contra Jak Johnson en diciembre y en casa una vez más, fue a la vez dramático y esperaría anti-climático para ti. Estuve allí, así que sé todo lo que ocurrió, pero ¿podrías iluminar a los lectores sobre los dramas que se desarrollaron esa noche desde tu vista??

 

Dayle

Si has visto toda la pelea, parece que no estaba muy feliz al final, pero eso es porque soy un luchador y todo lo que quiero hacer es luchar..

 

Entrené tan duro y me sentí en la mejor forma de mi vida, así que cuando la pelea terminó En 30 segundos me molestó, pero eso es algo con lo que tengo que lidiar con su boxeo y las peleas pueden terminar con un solo disparo..

 

Después de verlo, estaba contento con mi actuación y estoy bendecido con un poder de golpe que puede sacar el hombro de alguien de su lugar con un solo disparo..

 

 

Gianluca

En el 3rd marzo estarás en acción una vez más en el Hanger 34 en Liverpool, donde te enfrentarás al irlandés Michael Kelly. ¿Sabes mucho sobre Michael y su estilo de lucha y también cómo ves que esta pelea se desarrollará??

 

Dayle

Sé sobre la gente con la que peleó y lo que logró. Sé que será una pelea difícil, pero es por eso que mi equipo y yo pedimos la pelea..

 

No miro a mis oponentes en las peleas antiguas porque podrían convertir una caja en una pelea completamente diferente, así que me gusta saber cuándo estoy allí..

 

Creo que será una pelea entretenida para que la gente la vea., pero lo veo terminar con un nocaut, si golpeo a alguien en el peso welter con uno de mis golpes de poder con guantes de ocho onzas, me sorprenderá ver a alguien todavía parado frente a mí.

 

 

Gianluca

Así que de las peleas que has tenido hasta la fecha, ya sea profesional o no, cual ha sido tu favorito y por que?

 

Dayle

Mi favorito tiene que ser Pakistán haciendo historia y desafiándome a mí mismo, Fue un gran riesgo subir dos divisiones de peso, pero me gustan los desafíos y es por eso que estoy en este juego de lucha., y también boxear frente al dos veces campeón mundial Amir Khan y recibir excelentes comentarios de él., no puedes pedir nada mejor que eso.

 

 

Gianluca

¿Cómo describirías tu estilo de lucha??

 

Dayle

Creo que mi estilo de lucha es diferente al del boxeador de estilo británico promedio, lo que creo que me hace destacar más., Soy un luchador de contraataque con poder, Soy zurdo y sé que puedo ser una pesadilla para cualquier boxeador en el circuito de boxeo..

 

 

Gianluca

¿Debería tener éxito en el 3rd marzo, estarás invicto en cinco, aunque quizás sea un poco pronto para pensar en los premios del campeonato, Estoy seguro de que ya debe haber estado pensando en oportunidades como esa, como tal, ¿podría describir sus planes futuros para los lectores?.

 

Dayle

Estoy en el deporte para ganar títulos, es un sueño mío que sé que puedo lograr y cuando llegue la oportunidad la aprovecharé.

 

Seguiré subiendo la escalera ganando peleas y cuando mi equipo crea que es el momento adecuado, Conseguiré mi oportunidad por el título y me convertiré en Campeón.

 

 

 

Gianluca

Estoy seguro de que debes haber sido un ávido observador del boxeo profesional incluso cuando eras joven., como tal, mi siguiente pregunta es qué luchadores, pasado o presente, han tenido la mayor influencia en ti y en tu carrera?

 

Dayle

Al crecer desde una edad temprana, solía ver videos de Roy Jones Jr., Amo su arrogancia y confianza..

 

Siempre quise ser un animador y darle a la gente la sensación que tenía al verlo..

 

Mi luchador favorito que me gusta ver mucho ahora es Floyd Mayweather, Adrian Broner, Chris Eubank Jr y Errol Spence Jr, este es el tipo de luchadores que me gusta tomar mucho y tratar de convertir en mi propio estilo.

 

 

Gianluca

Alejarse de las peleas, etc., quiénes son las principales personas que componen el Equipo Gallagher?

 

Dayle

Aunque soy yo el que entra a pelear, no podría hacerlo sin mi equipo, de mi hermano Kyle que me prepara para cada pelea, a todos mis compañeros en la sala de máquinas.

 

Aunque no es solo mi equipo; mis patrocinadores también me ayudan a prepararme para la noche de la pelea, Bondad Grill, quien prepara mi comida, que me ayudan con mis dietas. Spartan Dynamic que me entrenan para mi fuerza y ​​acondicionamiento y me ponen en gran forma y me hacen sentir más fuerte que nunca..

 

James Harris, quien me ayuda con todo lo que hay detrás de escena, como entrevistas..

 

Mis amigos, mi familia y mi novia, todos me ayudan entre bastidores cuando estoy de mal humor por el corte de peso y la preparación para la noche de la pelea..

Pero las personas más importantes de mi equipo son las personas que creen en mi sueño y me compran entradas para mis peleas., porque lo que mucha gente no se da cuenta sin la venta de entradas, las peleas no pueden suceder y siempre estaré agradecido con cada persona que me compre una entrada.!

 

 

Gianluca

Dónde entrenas y cuál es tu horario de entrenamiento?

 

Dayle

Entreno en Engine Room Boxing Club, Sports Direct Fitness y Spartan Dynamic, mi rutina normal para la noche de la pelea es 6soy Me despierto con un plátano y luego voy directamente a Sports Direct Fitness para correr.

 

Me gusta meterme entre 4-6 millas en todas las mañanas, luego haré un poco de trabajo en la bolsa y conseguiré un sauna, luego me iré a casa y descansaré luego en 10:30soy dependiendo de que dia Lunes, Miércoles, Viernes Estaré en la sala de máquinas hasta al menos el mediodía trabajando en mi boxeo..

 

Martes y Jueves Estaré en Spartan Dynamic hasta el mediodía trabajando en mi fuerza y ​​acondicionamiento, luego iré a buscar comidas recién preparadas a Goodness Grill y luego trabajaré en 2:30pm hasta 9:30pm.

 

Es una rutina difícil de mantener, pero para mi sueño, vale la pena.

 

 

Gianluca

¿Cuál dirías que es tu parte favorita del entrenamiento??

 

Dayle

Realmente no tengo una parte favorita del entrenamiento; mi parte favorita es probablemente que me digan que he terminado porque es un trabajo muy duro.

 

Es un entrenamiento de adicción que no podría prescindir, pero si tuviera que elegir una cosa, probablemente sería sparring. Es lo más parecido a pelear y no hay nada mejor que dar golpes devastadores a los oponentes..

 

 

Gianluca

Fuera del boxeo, cuál es tu deporte favorito?

 

Dayle

Fuera del box, mi deporte favorito es el fútbol, Me encanta ver a mi equipo Everton, pero cualquier juego en general solo lo miraré por entretenimiento.

 

 

Gianluca

Además del deporte, ¿de qué otra manera te relajas fuera del boxeo??

 

Dayle

El boxeo está constantemente en mi cerebro cuando tengo tiempo libre. Miro videos de boxeo o hablo de ello con personas a las que realmente no les importa, pero está en mi sangre y no puedo evitarlo.

 

 

Gianluca

En estos días, las redes sociales son una herramienta muy importante para los deportistas profesionales.; ¿Utiliza las redes sociales para interactuar con sus fans??

 

Dayle

Creo que las redes sociales son muy importantes en estos días para los atletas profesionales y siempre interactúo con los fanáticos., porque cualquiera que se tome el tiempo de preguntarme algo sobre mi carrera merece una respuesta, Todavía no soy un gran nombre en el deporte, así que tener gente que me haga preguntas sobre mi boxeo realmente significa mucho para mí..

 

 

Gianluca

Finalmente, ¿hay algo que quieras decirles a tus fans??

 

Dayle

Gracias a todos los que siguen mi carrera y creen en mí, no pasará mucho tiempo hasta que esté en la cima., gracias.

WHAT DOES WINNING THAT BELT MEAN TO YOU?

Karl Amoussou: That belt is my entry ticket to the UFC. I am bringing it back to France.

Matt Inman: This belt is my path, I’ve been with Cage Warriors a long time. This is my eighth fight with the promotion and I feel like I’ve been on this path along time. Estoy listo.

Karl Amoussou: So am I.

DO YOU FEEL ANY PRESSURE GOING INTO THIS FIGHT?

MI: The only pressure I feel is the pressure I put upon myself to put in the best performance I can.

KA: Pressure is always present during a fight, I know I’m going to have the best version of Matt Inman facing me and he’s going to be ready for the best version of Karl Amoussou. No problem with the pressure, I’ll deal with it.

IS THIS A CAREER-DEFINING FIGHT FOR YOU?

KA: Yes this is definitely a career-defining fight. Now I have to be in the UFC. I belong in the UFC, I should be in the UFC already and after this fight I will definitely be there, no hay duda.

I know what my goal is, I’m pretty sure Matt knows what his goal is and I think we have the same. We are both going to do our job and, on my part, I know exactly what I’m going to do. So there’s no need for animosity.

MARTIN ‘.50CAL’ STAPLETON FOCUSED ON A FINISH AT CAGE WARRIORS 80 EN LONDRES

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA
Jueves, February 16th, 2017

SBG Manchester fighter ready to make a statement at Indigo at The O2 on Saturday

With designs on world titles and a future shot in the UFC, Martin Stapleton says he’s ready to make a statement at Cage Warriors 80 este fin de semana.

Stapleton (18-4) was a coveted free-agent who fielded multiple contract offers from around the world, but it was ultimately Cage Warriors that made the most sense to him as he looks to rise all the way to the top.

I had a lot of offers, and some really lucrative offers, demasiado,"Él dijo.

But when I weighed it all up, Cage Warriors was the best route for me.

That’s because of the amount of guys that have come through, been a Cage Warriors world champion, gone on to the UFC and now they’re now kicking arse. And there’s a couple of guys who have won UFC world titles through that route.

“And with the fights being shown on BT Sport and UFC Fight Pass, it gives me the best platform to get into the UFC.

“They were all massive factors in signing with Cage Warriors rather than one of the other organisations.”

Stapleton will take on Anthony Dizy in a 150lb catchweight at Indigo at The O2 on Saturday night at Cage Warriors 80 as he sets his sights on world championship glory later in the year.

I want that featherweight belt,"Él dijo.

“Puedo pelear en 145, 155 and even go up as high as 170. But right now, I’ve got my sights on that 145lb title. That’s the biggest fight, and I want big fights.

“Tengo 100% belief in myself. I know I’m battle tested. I know I’m ready to go in there with anyone.

You can put me in with anyone in the world right now and I’ll hold my own. Right now I’d beat 95% de ellos, and in a couple of years I’ll be at the point where I’ll beat 100% of them.”

And speaking about this weekend’s fight in London, Stapleton said his focus is on one thingclaiming a decisive stoppage win.

I never expect anything in my opponents, él dijo.

I go in there with a clear mind, ready for anything that happens in the cage. I don’t watch my opponents’ fights either. I know his name. All I have to do is train my arse off, get in the cage and do it.

I wanna get in there and finish this guy. From the minute the bell goes to the 15th minute of the fight I’ll be trying to finish him.

Limited tickets for Cage Warriors 80 are available via the AXS website, priced from just £20. Included in the ticket price is a free meet and greet with UFC stars including Dan Hardy.

CAGE WARRIORS STAR PADDY PIMBLETT TO DEFEND TITLE AGAINST NAD NARIMANI AT CW82

Martes, 07 de febrero, 2017

Hugely popular Liverpudlian star will put his Cage Warriors featherweight world title on the line in the main event at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on April 1.

The fighting pride of Liverpool Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett will make his eagerly-awaited return to action in the main event at Cage Warriors 82.

Defending CW featherweight world champion Pimblett will take on fellow Brit Nad Narimani as he bids to further cement his position as one of the UK’s fastest-rising MMA stars.

Pimblett captured Cage Warriors gold when he knocked out French veteran Johnny Frachey for the vacant title at CW 78 in Liverpool last September.

He followed up his title win with a successful defence of his belt, edging out The Ultimate Fighter semi-finalist Julian Erosa at Cage Warriors Unplugged at the BT Sport studios last November.

Aged just 22, Pimblett returns to his stomping ground at the Echo Arena looking to continue his remarkable rise as one of the MMA world’s hottest young prospects.

He’ll face a stern test against Narimani, who enters the bout with a 9-2 pro record and took the previous Cage Warriors featherweight champ Alex Enlund all the way to the scorecards in a closely-contested battle at Cage Warriors 73, with just one point separating the two after five hard-fought rounds.

Narimani comes into the bout with Pimblett riding a two-fight win streak, with victories over Jeremy Petley (first-round KO) and Daniel Requeijo (third-round submission) setting up his April 1 clash with ‘The Baddy’.

Speaking ahead of his hometown return, Pimblett said: “I won the title in Liverpool, so there’s absolutely no way I’m going to lose it here.”

“This is my city, my arena and my title. Expect another huge partyand another huge winwhen I come back home to defend my belt.”

Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan said: “Paddy’s the hottest prospect in the sport on this side of the pond and the prospect of seeing him defending his featherweight world title in front of his hometown fans is a mouth-watering prospect for MMA fans.

“Nad will take him to the limit, just as he did with our previous featherweight champ Alex Enlund, so expect a tough test and a great matchup.”

Tickets for Cage Warriors 82 are available from the Echo Arena, from just £25: bit.ly/CW82tkts

Anthony Joshua extended his perfect record to 18-0 con 18 knockouts in a dominating defense of his IBF Heavyweight World Championship over American challenger Eric Molina Sábado on SHOWTIME from Manchester Arena in Manchester, Inglaterra. Video: http://s.sho.com/2hqHTo8.

 

Joshua floored Molina with a huge left in the third, leaving the Texas native crumpled in the corner. Molina looked dazed and barely beat the count, but he was again in trouble and defenseless seconds later, que obligó al árbitro a detener la pelea a los 2:02.

 

Después de la pelea, Matchroom Sport managing direction Eddie Hearn announced that Joshua will make the third defense of his title on Abril 29 against long-reining heavyweight kingpin Wladimir Klitschko at London’s Wembley Stadium.

 

“Disaster avoided esta noche,” Joshua said. “He started off teeing off with some haymakers early on. There are not too many tactics he can do. It’s hard for him to come in and fight when you aren’t giving him any options. Someone who is boxing with you can give you options, but someone who is boxing on his back feet cannot.”

 

“This is the start of my story and there will be many more things to come when I step into this ring. I’m not one to talk and I’m not one to mess around, but if I did start talking I think people would find out what I’m all about. I’ve stayed consistent and I’ve stayed patient and I’m still undefeated.”

 

“We are moving into a huge arena (Wembley). He’s a very respectful man outside of the ring, and he’s very competitive in the ring. This is the step up people have wanted. Klitschko wants his belts back and may the best man win.”

 

Said Klitschko: “He is the best man in the heavyweight division and his record speaks for itself. This is the fight that the fans want and that is why this fight will happen.”

 

“Do you want to see a big fight? Do you want to see a fight where two Olympic champs are involved? Do you want to see the fight between A.J. and W.K.? You got it.”

Here is what Joshua and Molina had to say during fight week:

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA

 

“Eric is coming here to win and he’s got a goal in his sights and dreams to fulfill. I want to shatter his dreams and keep that title. He gave Wilder a real test, rocked him, and boxed through the fight with an injury. So he’s got ability, power and heart.

“Eric has only lost to the best. He’s looked at as an underdog because a lot of it is about hype. This is his chance to announce himself. He might say he can beat me, but we won’t know until the night if he can pull it off.

 

“This fight isn’t about Deontay Wilder. Deontay is supposed to be this KO artist with one-punch power and he’s been a pro for eight years now so he’s got vast experience in the game. Eric put up a great fight against him and watching it I thought ‘that’s the type of guy that I want to be in.’ Someone that fights with their heart on their sleeve, that’s why we’re here now. It’ll be a comparison in the back of my mind but that doesn’t make me a better fighter than him or vice versa if I do better or worse than Deontay.

 

“A man that gets up after being knocked down has my full respect and he has shown he has massive heart. His mentality is that he’s got nothing to lose, and that makes him dangerous. There’s been upsets in the past but that’s not happening at this stage of my career.

 

“Molina is Wladimir Klitschko, he is David Haye, he is Wilder. He is a hurdle I have to overcome. It’s not about them, it’s about me. I won’t disrespect Eric, but I don’t play games, I come to dominate. I don’t care how long the fight with Molina goes; one or 12 rondas, I just need to dismantle my opponent.

 

“I’m not fighting Klitschko. He’s going to be there en sábado, as is Haye, but they’re not in front of me. Mi carrera, my discipline and my consistency, that’s the package that we’ve been sending out to the rivals and that speaks louder than any performance en sábado. Quiero ganar, I want to look good and I want to entertainbut the most important thing for me is going in there and doing the job.

 

“I’m not learning in the shadows, I’m under the bright lights on Box Office in the UK and on SHOWTIME in the U.S. I have to perform every time that I box. There’s so many wolves in the pack that want to come and destroy what I’ve built.

 

“We’re close to getting some huge fights. If I get through Sábado then I fight Klitschko; it doesn’t get much bigger, so the division is moving forward. People have just got to be patient and enjoy the ride.

 

"Los Estados Unidos. is a big market for me and I am sure it won’t be long until I make my U.S. debut. Whether that’s against Wilder, ya veremos. He’s got the injury to recover from. I have a lot of people asking me when we’re taking the show to the States, but I don’t think they mean Alabama! They are hoping for Las Vegas, Yo creo que — that’s a trip we’d all love to make.”

 

ERIC MOLINA

 

“Knockout is the only way I am going to win. I’m not here to take it on points, I am here to put him on the floor and take his belt. Any heavyweight can KO any other heavyweight, and I can KO Joshua. I’m a hard-punching heavyweight so I am extremely confident.

 

“I’m unpredictable – and any man in this division can be KO’d on any night. To become champion, that’s the ultimate goal, and I think I have what it takes to knock him out.

 

“Joshua has great balance, he’s athletic, tall, uses his reach – but there are things about him we don’t know yet and he knows it, demasiado. We know he can punch and has the attributes to become a legend, but that missing piece of the puzzle is the chin. Can he take a punch? He hasn’t taken anything up to this date. A good boxing puncher can KO you with a shot at any given moment.

 

“I don’t question his stamina, but I do want to see him take a good shot. It’s the big question – and I’ve hurt everybody that I’ve been in the ring with. Does he have grit and determination? We’ll find out.

 

“I’ve been an underdog all my life so it doesn’t faze me. Joshua is young, es fuerte, he’s got all the attributes of a great champion. But there are a lot of things that he’s yet to experience in the ring, and that’s what I have to capitalize on. Eventually he has to go through those things and get taken to those places that he hasn’t been yet. I have to take him there to win.

 

“Who else in the last 18 months is going to fight Joshua and Wilder? Who is willing to do that to win? No one wants to get in with this guy. This is my route to get the world title. It’s not about Klitschko, it’s about me. Any man can be destroyed on any given night. Joshua knows that’s true. He’s got to beat me to get the fight, but I have a great chance to KO this guy.

 

“I don’t pay too much notice to what people think. When I fought Wilder the whole world gave me one round — Eso es. He’s going down in one round, he’s going to get blasted away. I’ve heard it all before, all the negative feedback. Let people think what they want, I feed off it. I have nothing to lose in a fight like this and everything to gain. It’s a very dangerous fight and the type of fight that I really perform in.

 

“Dillian Whyte has given Joshua his toughest test so far, then probably (Dominic) Breazeale. He hasn’t been pushed. He hasn’t been taken to a place where he’s had to dig deep. There are some holes in his game that we feel we can execute and hurt him.

 

“Lots of people didn’t want the fight; it’s a business and I wanted it. I’ve shared the ring with Wilder and now I’m going in with Joshua. These aren’t just words; I’m putting it into action, there’s a difference.

 

“Wilder is the most dangerous heavyweight in the world, Tyson Fury is the most skilled, the combination of both would beat Johsua. The most feared is Luis Ortiz. You have the heavyweights that no one wants to get in with. Everyone is calling everyone out, but when it comes down to it, it means nothing if you don’t get in there. You just have a certain bunch of guys that don’t want to fight another bunch of guys.

 

“Against Wilder I learned that I can get up. I can fight back and still win rounds. I learned I can fight through an injury; that I can bite down on the gumshield and give more than I ever thought I could give. It was a big stage against Wilder in his backyard so I’ve been on the big stage before. It doesn’t concern me at all – been there, hecho que. I’ve lost on the big stage but I’ve also won on the big stage.”
