You got to go into the lion’s den and take the title. So that’s what we’re working on doing and that’s what we plan on doing.
L. Milner
Mór. Go raibh maith agat. Maith go leor, we’re going to go ahead and open it up for questions from the media. Oibreoir, Is féidir leat le do thoil é sin a dhéanamh?
Q
Vernalis, 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 4 Aibreán ar Scoil na mBráithre Críostaí?
A. Stevenson
Yeah, Tá a fhios agam siad an oiread sin ag caint faoi sin, ach tá mé an-dírithe ar Bika anois, 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, agus tá mé an-ullmhaithe dó. Beidh mé a bheith réidh le haghaidh dó 4 Aibreán. Mar sin,, Is é mo fócas ar Bika. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil siad an oiread sin daoine ag caint liom faoi conas a throid seo, ach tá mé an-dírithe ar an Guy.
Q
Cad é an nós imeachta le haghaidh tástála drugaí os comhair na 4 Aibreán?
A. Stevenson
Tá Trí am in oiliúint agus am amháin 06:00 in the morning. Mar sin,, 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, Is féidir liom i gcónaí ar an tástáil, Tá a fhios agat? Mar sin,, nach bhfuil sé ar an chéad uair a dhéanfaidh mé an tástáil, but I always to do it. This is fantastic, Is breá liom go.
Q
An gceapann tú go raibh sé riachtanach chun dornálaíochta go mbeadh chineál sin de tástála?
A. Stevenson
Ar ndóigh, tá sé riachtanach mar gheall ar, Is Cuidíonn tú. Mar sin,, Tá sé an-tábhachtach a dhéanamh cinnte gach rud ag dul go han-mhaith. Agus sin mar chuid den dornálaíocht agus go bhfuil an éabhlóid. Tá mé an-sásta agus sásta, agus tacaíocht a thabhairt go.
Q
Sakio, cad a cheapann tú faoi sin?
S. Tarbh
Sílim go bhfuil sé an-, an-mhaith toisc go bhfuil mé [dothuigthe] since I’ve been here. I think it’s good for the new generation. It goes for this sport. Maidir liom, Sílim go bhfuil sé iontach. Tá sé foirfe mar gheall ar, an oiread sin daoine [dothuigthe] scor [dothuigthe] drug and they never get tested. And now with new generation, Sílim go bhfuil sé an-mhaith, Tá a fhios agat, for younger kids to try to see if they want to win. Once you come in this sport you have to have been clean. Is eagraíocht iontach do dhaoine a bhfuil baint acu a fháil agus a thástáil iad. Tá sé an rud iontach é sin a dhéanamh.
Q
Mar sin, beidh an dá de tú a thástáil trí huaire, dhá uair i rith an champa traenála, am amháin roimh an gcomhrac? Is that correct, guys?
A. Stevenson
Níl a fhios agam dó, but for me it’s three time. And we do a piss test, agus a dhéanann muid tástáil fola, freisin.
S. Tarbh
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
An chéad cheist, iarradh go dtí vernalis mar gheall ar a ullmhú le haghaidh an troid i teacht agus chomh maith leis distraction timpeall na opponents féideartha sa todhchaí, Ba mhaith liom a fháil ar a chur ar an gceist chéanna a vernalis arís.
A. Stevenson
Tá a fhios agat, Is é an cineál rudaí cosúil le Bika fiáin agus tá sé léirithe ag teacht aige–Tá a fhios agat, 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, taispeánann sé má dhéanann tú botún mar sin ansin beidh sé a bheith ina knockout go han-luath sa troid.
Q
Is é mo cheist le haghaidh “Siúcra” Cnoc. “Siúcra”, Ba mhaith liom ach fios a bheith agat má bhí tú sásta leis an stíl gur roghnaíodh gur le haghaidh troid le teacht, má tá sé seo an cineál tástála a bhí á lorg agat mar oiliúnóir.
S. Cnoc
Chomh fada is a lorg stíl do vernalis chun troid–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, do vernalis foghlaim níos mó faoi dornálaíochta a bheith in ann a bheith ann le Trodaire cosúil Sakio Bika, a tá láidir, veteran a chinneadh agus diana ar féidir leo a sheasamh. He can take a punch. He’s never been knocked out or anything like that. Mar sin,, tá sé seo deis do vernalis dul b'fhéidir 12 babhtaí nó isteach na babhtaí ina dhiaidh sin, féidir a thógáil agus a chur leis a ghairm bheatha mar troid i babhtaí níos déanaí, a bhí sé in ann a dhéanamh. Is é seo an troid i anseo le Bika tástáil, agus loves vernalis le tástáil. 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
Vernalis, atá á lorg agat ar diana 12 troid i bhabhta nó a fheiceann tú é mar spreagadh maidir le bheith ar an gcéad chun an t-Guy amach má chuireann an deis sin féin?
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 babhtaí Tá mé réidh le haghaidh 12 babhtaí. I fight and spar. My fight is, muintir agus a oiliúint do 12 rounds.When fháil mé an fáinne, Táim ag lorg an knockout. I don’t look for the 12 bhabhta. If he goes the distance or 12 babhtaí, this is not a problem. Is féidir liom a bhosca. I’m beautiful. I got a good skill. I’m a Superman. Mar sin,, it’s not a problem for me. Ach, first I’m looking for a knockout. And I think any boxer going in the ring to fight always looks for a knockout. Uaireanta, it’s not like that. Ach, dom, Táim ag lorg an 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” Ní bhraitheann brú. Tá mé ag dul a bhaint as mo scileanna dornálaíochta, agus tá mé ag dul a úsáid ar mo cheann an fáinne. 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
An raibh Sakio Bika an chéad comhraic chuir siad duit?
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–nach, super middleweight champion. It’s very good, mar tá sé ina Boxer maith. He was champion last two fights. That’s a good opportunity for him, freisin, dul ó solais a trom-mheáchain chun troid liom. And it’s a good opportunity for me, freisin.
Q
Ba mhaith liom a iarraidh ort an méid atá pointe a rinne tú a rá leat féin, “Caithfidh mé a troid,” nó “Ba mhaith liom dul i ngleic Sergey Kovalev a unify léir criosanna sa roinn.” 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. Ach, cinnte gur mhaith liom a troid ar son teidil, ach anois–do anois tá fuair mé Bika i mo aghaidh.
Q
Ní raibh tú tógtha leis an mbealach a d'fhéach Kovalev sa troid na seachtaine eile in aghaidh Pascal. Cén fáth?
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. Mar sin,, in four years he fights one time. Mar sin,, sin an fáth a bhfuil mé nach tógtha faoi sin, toisc nach bhfuil Pascal Boxer gníomhach mar a úsáidtear sé a bheith ar ais sa lá.
Q
Tá a fhios agat go bhfuil 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
Ar ndóigh, Tá a fhios agam. I’m ready to fight a title. Ach, Lig mé mo fhoireann, Al HAYMON, cúram faoi sin. 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’ teideal, agus ba chóir mé ag troid Bernard Hopkins.
Q
Is é seo an troid go bhfuil ag dul a bheith ar an teilifís náisiúnta sna Stáit Aontaithe, 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
Ar ndóigh. This is a good opportunity for that. And first of all, Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil Al HAYMON don, freisin, mar gheall ar, that’s him putting on the show. And since Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, back in the day it was free. Anois, we offer the public the fight for free and that’s a great opportunity for me. Mar sin,, I have a good performance for Sakio Bika. Ach, I know Sakio Bika is a tough opponent and he’s very awkward and tough. We’ll prepare for that, agus tá muid réidh. Tá sé an-mhaith do na páistí óga freisin, ag faire ar an gcomhrac. Is deis mhaith do chách.
Q
Le nach mbeadh faire mór lucht féachana féideartha a chuir tú i riocht ina bhfuil tú ag lorg ar knockout?
A. Stevenson
Ar ndóigh. That gives me a lot of motivation. That’s why I train really hard for this fight and watch–mar sin daoine ag breathnú orm. Since Muhammad Ali, I’m the first to be poor and the projects. Mar sin,, Tá mé an-, an-sásta, and I’m going to put a good performance. Like Emanuel said, knockouts dhíol.
Q
Vernalis, áit a bhfuil tú ag traenáil an tseachtain seo? Agus ansin, nuair a bhíonn tú ag dul iarbhír a Québec Cathrach?
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. Is féidir liom a fheiceáil ar mo kid, freisin. Mar sin,, Is breá liom go. And we train very hard, mé féin agus mo oiliúnóir. We put the hard work pay off. This is different. This is a good opportunity for me, agus is breá liom go.
Q
Mar sin,, tá tú i Quebec City anois ansin?
A. Stevenson
I’m in Montreal now. Quebec City, Tá mé ag dul an tseachtain seo.
Q
Mar sin,, Beidh nuair a théann tú i ndáiríre go dtí Cathair Québec?
A. Stevenson
Dé Domhnaigh.
Q
Arís, 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. Mar sin,, Tá mé ullmhaithe do 12 babhtaí. Má tá an knockout ann, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. Ach, an fáinne, Táim ag lorg an knockout. Mar sin,, ní ábhar é dom, 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
Ach, Is féidir é a bheith contúirteach i gcónaí a bheith ag lorg ar knockout mar sin más rud é nach bhfuil tú é a fháil chomh tapa agus is mian leat ansin is féidir leat a fháil amach ó do stíl dornálaíocht. Is that something that worries you?
A. Stevenson
Is féidir linn dul 12 bhabhta. It’s not a problem for me. We train for that. We train for that. I can go 12 bhabhta. And I’m from Kronk Gym, Detroit. And this place, ní mór dúinn a dea-, oiliúnóir dea-mhaith Emanuel “Siúcra” Cnoc. They know boxing. They teach me very well my skill and everything and my balance. They know boxing. And so, Tá a fhios acu más rud é nach bhfuil an knockout ann, ach táimid ag dul a bheith ag obair. We’re going to use the good ability to go for 12 babhtaí. It’s not a problem.
Q
Sakio, Ba mhaith liom ach fios a bheith agat, conas a dhéanann sé bhraitheann ar do shon san champa traenála chun oiliúint a chur ar feadh troid trom éadrom tar éis a chaitheamh go leor i bhfad do ghairm bheatha ar fad ag mBoston Super?
S. Tarbh
Is dóigh liom go raibh sé dúshlán nua chun dul suas agus iarracht le dul i ngleic leis an tarbh mór. Nuair a fheiceann tú ar mo regimen, aon duine ba mhaith leis riamh chun troid liom. Bhí sé i gcónaí le beagán deacair toisc nach bhfuil daoine ag iarraidh a throid mé. Maidir liom féin tá sé ina dúshlán mór mar gheall ar Stevenson, Is vernalis ar son mór agus ba mhaith liom a bheith ar an curadh domhanda i saol. Tá mé an-cinnte gur féidir liom a láimhseáil air. Agus teacht Aibreán 4, toisc go bhfuil mé a ullmhú go maith, , comhpháirtí muintir mór, Lorg mé díreach chun tú a fheiceáil conas is féidir liom déileáil leis an tarbh mór. Is vernalis an chéad cheann dom ag an meáchan, but I just feel confident, Is dóigh liom dearfach. Tá mé réidh, Tá a fhios agat, chun dul ann agus a thaispeáint ar na daoine ar fud an domhain is féidir liom a buille vernalis Stevenson ar Aibreán 4. I want to tell the big bull. I want to move up in light heavyweight division, agusAibreán 4 daoine ag dul a bheith a fheiceáil.
Q
An bhfuil an meáchan mothú níos fearr ar do shon? Do you see yourself staying at light heavyweight?
S. Tarbh
Feicim féin mar a bheadh trom éadrom. Feicim féin ag trom éadrom mar a fheiceann tú an oiread sin Seaimpíní domhan. For me just it’s just a challenge. I want to challenge myself. Is féidir liom a dhéanamh éadrom trom éasca. It would be a struggle to do super middleweight. Tá a fhios agat, Is féidir liom a dhéanamh trom éadrom ndáiríre go héasca. Is féidir liom déileáil leis an tarbh mór, mar láimhseáil mé gach duine. This is a big opportunity for me to try to see if can I handle the big bull. I can handle Adonis. mar shampla Aibreán 4, I will try to test myself. You all ready? Tá mé réidh. Tá mé ullmhúchán maith,. Táimid traein an-deacair don troid. Tá mé ag lorg ach chun teacht ar Québec agus cúram a ghlacadh de ghnó.
Q
Ag an am céanna bhí tú ag an gcomhrac Sergey Kovalev / Jean Pascal, agus chuaigh tú os cionn go dtí HBO tráchtaire ag an am, 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 ar an Satharnoíche cúpla deireadh seachtaine ó shin.
A. Stevenson
Ní Pascal ábhar anois toisc go bhfuil muid ag caint faoi Bika. Téim go dtí troid Aibreán 4 le Bika. Is rud an-dian ar shliocht faoi Bika agus nach bhfuil Kovalev duine anois nuair a cheapann mé faoi ar an troid le Kovalev agus Pascal, agus ansin tar éis a dúirt mé, “Bhuel, yera yeah, Tá mé ag dul a throid.” He’s not a person for me now. The person now is Bika.
Q
Ráthaithe tú go mbeadh do troid i eile a bheith i gcoinne Kovalev ar ais i mBealtaine na bliana seo caite tar éis 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, agus tá mé an-dírithe le Bika, because I know this guy gives problems to all the champions. He was champion. And I know this fighter is tough.
L. Milner
Maith go leor. 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. Mar sin,, thank you so much. We’re going to switch over to Mr. Beterbiev.
Artur Beterbiev
Is maith liom mo oiliúna, and I am training hard. And it was all planned. Mar sin,, go léir a chuaigh de réir an phlean. Tá sé ina chéile comhraic tromchúiseach. Ní féidir liom fanacht a bheith acu go bhfuil gcomhrac.
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
Ag cur san áireamh go léir a ráiteas a tháirgtear sé le déanaí, Ba mhaith liom bualadh leis agus a chur air ar ais ina áit i gairmiúla.
Q
Cad a dhéanann tú cuimhneamh mar gheall air mar Guy a ag troid leat? What do you remember?
A. Beterbiev
Tá mé cuimhne an-mhaith. Mar sin,, Raibh mé buille dó faoi dhó i na céimeanna amaitéarach, ach tá mé níos dírithe ar an todhchaí ceart anois. Ba mhaith liom buíochas a buille dó arís.
Q
Artur, d'fhéadfaí tú cur síos ar conas a bhraitheann tú go bhfuil do ghairm bheatha ag dul suas ag an bpointe seo?
A. Beterbiev
Is maith liom an tslí Bainim stiúir i mo shaol gairmiúil. Tá mé ag oiliúint ó lá go lá agus ó lá go lá oibre agus i gcónaí ag smaoineamh faoi sin. Déanaim iarracht i gcónaí chun feabhas a chur agus a fheabhsú ar mo chuid nach bhfuil láidir, as part of my preparation.I’m not a future teller. Mar sin,, I’m ready to meet all the solid opponents. And I’m ready for the championship of the world, agus tá mé réidh le haghaidh aon cás.
Q
An bhfuil aon leas i duit troid an buaiteoir Stevenson / Bika?
A. Beterbiev
Raibh mé in ann troid ar aon duine.
Q
Cad a cheapann tú de Campillo agus cén cineál na ndúshlán a dhéanann Campillo láthair a thabhairt duit toisc go bhfuil taithí i bhfad níos gairmiúla ná go bhfuil sé aige?
A. Beterbiev
Is ea, 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, agus tá sé ina chéile comhraic láidir, ach tá an troid i ag dul a thaispeáint dá bhféadfadh a dteanga gairmiúla cabhrú leis sa troid.
Q
Cad a dhéanann tú ag foghlaim ó 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
Conas a fheiceann tú Campillo, cén cineál Trodaire bhfuil sé, agus an bhfuil aon chuid dá stíl–aon ghnéithe dá stíl a féidir a bheith worrisome?
A. Beterbiev
Is é seo an opponent.He soladach ag obair go han-mhaith, very experienced at attack. He’s very experienced at defense. Is é an troid i ag dul a thaispeáint cad atá ar siúl le tarlú.
