Breazeale, who will be opening up the live telecast is truly excited and thankful for the opportunity to show that he is ready to take on the top fighters of the heavyweight division. Speaking at the press conference yesterday, Breazeale declarou o seguinte, “I want to thank Al Haymon and Premier Boxing Champions for this opportunity. This is a dream come true for me and I intend to make the best of it. I respect my opponent Fred Kassi, mas este é um negócio e eu estou saindo procurando o nocaute cedo.”

“I need to make a statement and what better statement than to impose my will on this man and take him out in the early rounds in front of a nationally televised audience. Deontay Wilder is fighting in the main-event after my bout so I am sure he will be watching. Everyone is going to know who I am after this fight and know that I am coming for those world heavyweight titles. I want to bring that fear and respect back to American heavyweight boxing,” Disse Breazeale.
