“I came here to book a place in the final,” Smith sagði. “I have had a really good camp and I have improved on stuff from the last fight and people will see a better performance from me. People will see that I am good enough to win the tournament. I just want to win, win well, and look good doing it.
“I always knew from the start of the tournament that there was a massive opportunity that George (Groves) would be waiting in the final. En, nú, I am fully focused on Nieky, and then I can talk more about Groves after the fight.”
Holzken, 34, was preparing to fight Dmitri Chudinov í Laugardaginn WBSS Super Middleweight Substitute Fight.
“Það er frábært að vera hér,” Holzken commented. “My life has been like a rollercoaster the last days. I was preparing to fight Dmitrii Chudnov, og á mánudaginn I got a call that Juergen Braehmer was out. Svo, this is a lifetime opportunity and I will take the opportunity with both hands, Ég er tilbúinn!
“Callum is a good fighter and respectful guy, but I am a big believer, and I believe I can get the victory á laugardag. I am going to do my best to beat him and my best to win the whole tournament.”
