”I am excited to be here and to face a solid boxer. Expect a good performance from me Divendres.”

”Williams is a clear and present danger but we are convinced that Adonis is well prepared and will succeed, so that we will all be happy Dissabte morning while eating breakfast. We still have not seen his full potential yet.’
”The fight between Eleider Alvarez and Robert Berridge is really important for the rankings in the light heavyweight division. Alvarez is highly considered by all the independent rankings (L'Anell, BoxRec) and Berridge was already in training before the withdrawal of Chad Dawson, because he was supposed to fight on HBO PPV last weekend before the bout was cancelled for administrative reasons. He is fearless and a hard hitter.”
