The IBF will continue to go down its rankings in order until one of the contenders agrees to fight Hrigović.

Zhang vows that if asked, he would take on the Croatian in a battle of 6’6’’ big men.

“I don’t understand why top heavyweights are turnin this down.” Said the former Olympic silver medal winner. “Hrgovic is no boogeyman. I’ve made it known that if my name comes up, I’ll step up and take it.”

And if a showdown with Hrigovic does not materialize, the 38 year-old Zhang is ready for any of the big names.

“I’m not getting any younger, and I have told my promoter that I want to make a big move," Said Zhang, listing off of top heavyweights such as Joseph Parker and Dereck Chisoraall of whom share the same promoter, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.

“My ultimate goal is to become world champion and I need fights that put me on that path. I will fight anyone. I want a big opportunity and all I am asking for is fair compensation. I am ready now.”

Webster attributes his most recent success to a more active schedule as this will be his 3rd fight of this year and 5th fight in the last 14 mēneši.
The more that I fight, the more consistent that I am. When I had other people in charge of my career, I was fighting less frequent. Maybe fighting every six or seven months. Now I have been more active and that goes hand in hand with my performances. I was getting in the ring to trying shake off ring-rust and now I am going in there not worrying about that.
Webster is not overlooking Harris, but He is looking to close of 2017 fighting higher level of opponents, un 2018 looking for a big title shot.
My target is WBA champion George Groves. I never wanted to face Harris. I wanted to fight guys with better records and for many reasons including opponents pricing themselves out, but guys won’t fight me. I do appreciate that Harris stepped up for the challenge so I respect him for that. Hopefully I can fight someone like Mike Tiberi next for a major regional title, then have my eye towards a world title in 2018.

Viņš ir principiālu ģimenes cilvēks, kas vienmēr cenšas darīt pareizās lietas, un tas ir kaut kas reti dzīvē šajās dienās, bet tas ir īpaši reti sportā. Es ceru, ka jūs guys novērtēt viņu. Boksa karjera nav mūžīgi. Viņš nebūs cīnās visiem laikiem, tāpēc ikvienam vajadzētu novērtēt to, kas jums ir šeit Andre Ward.

 

"Andre notverti zelta medaļu Atēnu Olimpiskajās spēlēs, un ir pēdējais ārpus ASV. bokseris to ir izdarījušas. Viņa saraksts tūlīt izzūd ienaidnieki skan kā kurš ir kurš no super middleweight nodaļa. Viņš arī dominē un izsisti bijušo gaismas smagiem pasaules čempionu, Chad Dawson in to 2012 kāršu atklāšana. Savā pēdējā cīņā, viņš dominē divu laikā pasaules title challenger Paul Smith uz Jūnijs 20 at Oracle Arena. Viņš uzsāk nākamajā nodaļā viņa karjeru Gājiens 26, atgriežoties Oracle Arena vēlreiz, kā viņš veic savu gājienu līdz gaismas smagiem sadalīšanu gatavs darīt to, ko viņš darīja ar super middleweight sadali ... tīrīšanas, un dominē ikvienu, kas stāv viņa ceļā. "

NICOLE DOVE, Viceprezidents mārketinga un General Counsel - Galvenie notikumi:

"Es tiešām vēlētos pateikties Andre Ward. Viņam nebija uzņemties undefeated cīnītājs savā pirmajā cīņā pie gaismas smagiem, bet viņš to darīja, un es domāju, ka ir apsveicama.

 

"Savā pēdējā cīņā, Sullivan kļuva obligāta sāncensis Sergejs Kovaļevs s IBF jostu. Viņš varētu būt sestdiena atpakaļ un gaidīja savu titulu cīņā, bet tā vietā viņš ieraudzīja šo cīņu pret Andre Ward kā iespēju, lai tiešām sasniegtu diženumu, un viņš to izdarīja. Kā jūs visi zināt, Galvenie notikumi un Roc Nation Sports ir lieli plāni Andre Ward un vēlāk šogad Sergejs Kovaļovs un Sullivan Barrera var patiešām apbēdināts, ka ābolu grozā.

 

"Abi šie vīrieši, Sullivan un Andre, viss izjādes uz rezultātiem Sestdienas cīņa. Šajā situācijā, ka mums ir boksa tagad, tas ir atjaunojāt redzēt reālus karavīrus, kuri nebaidās riskēt. Viņi abi ir pelnījuši mūsu cieņu un apbrīnu, ka. Tas ir tas, ko mūsu sporta jābūt apmēram.

 

"Sullivan Barrera ir undefeated ar ierakstu 17-0 ar 12 uzvar nāk veidā nokauts. Viņš vienkārši pagriezās 34, pirms mēneša, ko jūs varētu domāt, ir mazliet vecs šai brīdī viņa karjerā. Ko jūs varētu nezināt, ka viņš bija veiksmīga amatieru karjeru Kubā un pēc tam zaudēja vairākus gadus viņa prime, kamēr viņš bija defecting uz Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Viņš nāk tiešām tālu būt šeit šodien šo brīdi un šo iespēju. Viņš ir izsalcis, Viņš ir pārliecināts, un viņš ir gatavs. "

VIRGIL HUNTER, Andre Ward treneris:

"Tas ir fantastisks karte ar fantastisku sportisti, kuri cenšas padarīt savu ceļu pasaulē boksa. Ja šī cīņa tika notiek jebkurā citā pilsētā, tas būtu milzīgs notikums. Ko mēs vēlamies darīt, ir pārliecināties, ka Oakland saprot, un ka apkārtējo Bay Area saprot, lielums šo notikumu, lai mēs varētu turpināt celt pasaules klases boksa uz Oakland. Oakland ir augsni top cīnītāji, un mums jau ir viņiem. Jo vairāk, ka jūs atbalstāt mūs, jo vairāk, ka šīs cīņas būs redzams, un jūs redzēsiet liels laiks augšpusē.

Viņš ir tur sniegt paziņojumu.

"Šis ir vēsturisks brīdis mums. Mēs ieejam 175 mārciņa gaismas smagiem sadalīšanu. Šis ir brīdis, ka pilsēta nevēlas palaist garām. Tas ir brīdis sākumā kustība. Barrera vienkārši notiek, ir pirmais upuris, un mēs spēsim tikt galā ar viņu attiecīgi. Mēs esam bijuši dzirdes daudz runāt un sarunas norisinājās kur viņš ir nobažījies, un mēs zinām, ka viņš uzskata, viss, kas viņam ir, sakot.

Pēc shadowboxing ar gredzenu un dažas kārtas uz caurumošanas somas, visi četri kaujinieki piedalījās intervijas ar mediju locekļiem apmeklēšanu. Super Bowl čempions un Oakland dzimtā Marshawn Lynch, Avid Andre Ward atbalstītājs, sniegušas īpašu izskatu treniņa laikā atbalstam Ward.

 

Zemāk ir kādi kaujinieki bija teikt gala mediju treniņa laikā:

 

ANDRE WARD, Divu laika pasaules čempions un top-rated mārciņa-for-mārciņa cīnītājs:

"Es jūtos labi, un es esmu gatavs iet. Es esmu sasniedzot īstajā laikā. Es esmu tikai satraukti, lai saņemtu to sestdiennakts.

 

"Es mēdzu braukt ar Oracle Arena uz 880 kā kazlēnu par manu ceļu uz ķēniņa ērtībām un brīnums, ja es varētu darīt to tur vienu dienu un [treneris] Virgil [Medību zirgs] mēdza teikt ar pārliecību, "Jūs esat gatavojas virsrakstu tur." Kā es got vecāka, Es izmantoti, lai dotos uz kādu no kartēm likts uz arēnā. Man vēl bija amatieru un es tikai sapņot. Nākamā lieta, jūs zināt, uz 2009, Es biju izlietne vai peldēt apkarošanā Edison Miranda. Ja es uzvarēja, tur droši vien bija laba iespēja, ka es varētu saņemt nosaukums shot un pārējais ir vēsture. Šeit mēs atkal, tas ir mans 7th laiks Oracle un tas joprojām ir svētība.

 

"Tas bija īstais laiks, lai pārietu uz gaismas smagiem. Tas bija, kam nav tiesības puiši, lai cīnītos vai puiši, kas nevēlējās, lai cīnītos mani kombinācija. Es gribu būt liels. Tie ir veidi pārceļas jums ir veikt. Es esmu students no sporta un kad es izpētīt sports, Tas ir tas, ko greats vienmēr darījuši. Viņi pārceļas uz augšu. Par liels tiem atrast veids, kā to izdarīt, un es gribu būt šajā sarunā.

 

"Barrera ir liels ķermenis. Viņš ir pārliecināts,. Šķiet, ir labs kovbojs. Mums nav pick viņam, jo ​​viņš ir mīksts touch. Mēs noplūktiem viņam, jo ​​viņš gatavojas iegūt mani gatavs un parādīt man to, ko šajā svara kategorijā ir par. Ja paskatās manā karjerā, tur ir vieta melodija-ups, kas man nav bijis daudz. Jūs vēlaties, lai cīnītos par labāko, un, ja jūs neesat cīnās labākais, Jūs vēlaties, lai cīnītos numur viens kandidāts. Tas, ko mēs darām.

 

"Es domāju, ka es esmu attīstās par efektīvu cīnītājs. Es esmu pārvietojas, kad man ir, lai pārvietotos. Es domāju, ka ir skaistums jebkuram sportistam, kurš ļaunprātīgi neizmantotu savu ķermeni un patiešām ņem savu kuģi nopietni. Es esmu redzējis dažus rakstus, apgalvojot, es nokavēju savu prime. Tas ir traki ar mani. Es jūtu, ka es esmu tik labi, kā man jebkad bijis. Esmu bijis boksa sporta bez daudz pārtraukumu pagātnē 20 gadiem. Manas smadzenes pateicās man par pēdējo divu gadu laikā. Mans ķermenis pateicās mani. Tas varētu dot man vēl divi gadi manā karjerā.

 

"Man ir vienkārši būt man. Kas es esmu, ir pietiekami. Man nav parādās uz Kovalev pūlī sestdiennakts. Mums vienkārši ir īstenot spēles plānu. Es domāju, kas notiek, lai nosūtītu ziņu tas ir paredzēts, lai nosūtītu un, ja tā nav, tad viņš būs [Kovalev] saņemt paziņojumu, kad mēs cīnāmies.

 

"Ja man nav uzvarēt šo cīņu, tur nekas pa ceļu. Ja man nav uzvarēt šo cīņu, Man nav pelnījuši, lai cīnītos par titulu. Tas ir realitāte manā situācijā.

 

"Barrera nekad cīnījās puisis, piemēram, man pirms, lai viņi varētu runāt labu spēli. Tie var dominēt virsraksti noved līdz cīņai. Viņi var teikt visu slidens sīkumi viņi vēlas pateikt. Mēs vienkārši vēlamies, lai dominē virsrakstus Svētdiena rītā pēc cīņa ir beigusies. Tas, ko es esmu vērsta uz. "

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Viens numurs novērtēja IBF gaismas smagiem sāncensis:

"Es esmu stiprāka nekā Ward. Man ir Kubas fona un es uzzināju daudz prasmju tur. Vairāk nekā jebkas, noteikšana pārvarēt kaut ko priekšā man palīdzēs man uzvarēt Ward uz Gājiens 26.

 

"Kad es esmu ar gredzenu, tā ir mana māja.

 

"Neatkarīgi Ward ir, Es pielāgoties tai un pārvarēt.

 

"Man ir divas rokas. Viņam ir divas rokas. Man ir darbs, ko darīt tālāk Gājiens 26.

 

"Es zinu, Ward un Kovaļevs ir ļoti cienīts un tie rada daudz naudas un lielu interesi, bet viņi nezina, kas Sullivan Barrera spēj darīt. Es būs jāpierāda, ka sestdien.

 

"Es neesmu īsti puisis, kas ir meklēt nokauts. Mani boksa iemaņas runā paši par sevi. Es esmu cīnās Andre Ward un cīnās šeit Oakland, tāpēc es nedomāju, ka lēmums tiks sniegta manā labā.

 

"Lai visiem faniem, sevišķi Kubas fani, kas atbalstīja mani, lūdzu, zināt, kas nāk Sestdiena, Es esmu gatavojas darīt visu, man ir jādara, lai iznākt uzvaru. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF viegls Champion:

"Es nevaru gaidīt ko Jayson darīja, lai Ronny Rios šajā cīņā laikā. Man iet tur, pārbaudīt viņu ārā un pielāgot, kad es esmu ar gredzenu.

 

"Ja iespēja prezentē sevi, kur viņš ir ievainots, un es redzu, ka mana perforatori ir milzīgs viņam, tad, protams, es esmu gatavojas saņemt tur, būt agresīvi un pārliecinieties, ka es viņam pēc iespējas ātrāk.

 

"Es zinu, kļūst iekšpusē, nogriežot gredzenu un, ņemot to uz ķermeņa uzreiz būs pārtraukums viņu uz leju. Tas notiek, lai viņš nepārvietojas tik daudz, un vēlāk kārtās varu nolaisties apburtais sitienus pa galvu. Es esmu gatavojas ņemt to uz ķermeņa uzreiz.

 

"Garīgi Es esmu 100% gatavs. Tas ir liels posms manā karjerā, tāpēc es esmu garīgi koncentrējās. Es esmu labi sagatavoti. Man šķiet, ka tas ir brīdis man ir gaidījuši visu manu visu dzīvi. Es jūtu, es esmu gatavs, un es nevaru gaidīt Gājiens 26. Es apmācīts ļoti grūti šo cīņu, un es esmu labi sagatavotas to.

 

"Es tiešām gribu sniegt paziņojumu šajā cīņā. Es gribu, lai parādītu pasaulei, ka Jāzeps Diaz varētu būt nākamā lielā lieta boksā, tāpēc es apmācīts ļoti grūti likt par lielisku cīņu par cīņu faniem, būt ļoti agresīvs un padarīt to par karu tur. Es ceru, ka Jayson Velez ir 110% gatavs, jo es vēlos, lai viņš būtu viņa vislabāk.

 

"Ja es uzvarētu šo cīņu, un sniegt paziņojumu, Es domāju, ka es varētu pāriet uz sāncensis statusu un, cerams iegūt pasaules titulu shot ar šā gada beigām. Es gribu, lai cīnītos grūts pretiniekiem šogad, jo es gribu, lai parādītu pasaulei, kas es esmu.

 

"Es jūtos kā zvērs, kad es soli ringā, un es redzu to sparring. Ikreiz, kad es esmu piezemēšanās efektīvus sitienus, Es varu pateikt, ka es esmu hurting manu pretinieku. "

Jayson VELEZ, Top-rated viegls sāncensis:

"Pēc mana līmenī, katrs puisis ir top sāncensis. Man ir apmācīt grūtāk un uzlabot savu aizsardzību. Esmu strādājusi par šo.

 

"Ja redzat manu pēdējo trīs vai četras cīņas, Jūs redzēsiet, ka man ir dominējošais pirmajā pāris kārtās, un tad es izsīkšanai gāzes, Man ir strādājuši par manu izturību, lai nenotiks uz Gājiens 26.

 

"Es esmu redzējis Diaz ir cīņas. Mēs esam sparred pāris reizes. Viņš ieguva ātrumu. Viņš dabūja izsalkumu. Tas ir viņa debija HBO, tāpēc viņš noteikti ir motivēts, bet tā es esmu. Tas būs liels cīņa.

 

"Es gribu būt čempions vārdu. Es zinu, ka viņš to vēlas arī. Sestdien, mēs zinām, kas to vēlas vairāk. Mēs abi vēlamies uzvarēt, un mēs abi apmācība win. Cīņa starp jaudu un ātrumu ir liels spēles-up. Nemaz nerunājot, ka viņš ir Meksikas un es esmu puertorikāņu. Jūs varat sagaidīt lielu cīņu, un tas nav viens jūs nevēlaties palaist garām. "
