Ga abin da mahalarta taron manema labarai ya ce:

 

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

A title means everything. It completes you as a fighter. That’s the top of the food chain in this sport, and that’s the pedestal we’re all trying to reach – Zakaran duniya. Everybody wants to be a world champion. The greats had it and now we want it. It would mean more for my city, iyalina, kuma ga abokai, and it’s something I’ll always be able to look back it. It would put me in the record books for life.

 

DeGale is not quiet. Today he’s chilling, maybe because he’s a little out of his comfort zone. But there’s a lot of tension when you’re standing right there next to your opponent. He might just be a little cranky today.

 

I like to lighten the mood and stay comfortable. This is all a part of the game. Let’s have fun now. It’s ass-kicking time when we get in that ring, but outside it’s all love.

 

There was a time when I didn’t want to do interviews. I didn’t want to go to fights. I didn’t want to hear fans online and on social media. I closed all them down because I didn’t want to hear people ask, ‘When are you fighting again? Talking about talent wasted, or saying I’m glad he’s gone.It hurt because there was nothing I could do. I was powerless even with all the power in the world.

JAMES DEGALE

 

Andre says the belt doesn’t mean anything to him in the fight – da kyau, the belt means everything to me and more. I am here to make history and it doesn’t happen without that title.

 

I could win a ranar Asabar night and retire a happy manthat’s how much I want to beat Andre Dirrell. But when I do win that title, I am going for the rest of the belts, creating a lasting legacy for my country, my fans and myself.

 

Andre is a classy fighter and he showed in the press conference that he is a classy guy toowhen two fighters who believe in their ability 100 percent and know they are going to win a fight, it is going to be explosive.

 

There’s nothing but respect between us, but ultimately, we’re going to take each other to dark territory a ranar Asabar dare, it’s going to be a brutal battleand one that I am going to win.

 

Edwin RODRIGUEZ

 

This is home for me and I’m thrilled. I know I have a good undefeated fighter in front me, so I’m looking forward to a competitive matchup. It’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

 

This is an exciting day for me. I saw Pedro Martinez pitch so many times here at Fenway and he’s going into the Hall of Fame. Har ila yau,, my fellow countrymen Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz have made so much history here.

 

Being here today and then having the weigh-in at Faneuil Hall gobe and fighting a ranar Asabar, it’s just an amazing experience.

 

Craig Baker

“Wannan shi ne babban damar a gare ni. I’ve dreamed of fighting on a grand scale like this since I first started boxing.

 

The entire experience has been awesome. It’s going to be an interesting fight. I’m going to keep coming forward. I’m going to keep boxing all night.

 

Everyone should look forward to an action packed night, I know it’s going to be an interesting matchup.

 

Danny O'CONNOR

 

A couple of years ago Ken Casey and I talked about bringing boxing back to the city of Boston. Fast-forward to today and we’re doing it.

 

I’m excited to be part of it and to see boxing in Boston blossom. It’s good for the city and all the young boxers in this area.

 

I know I have a tough opponent in front of me and I won’t take him lightly. I’m planning on putting on a show for the fans come Asabar dare.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

I’m an aggressive come forward, in your face boxer from the first bell to the last.

 

I was full steam ahead when I got the call for this fight. I train all the time, I don’t take breaks and I’m always looking for an opportunity. Ba zan iya zama farin ciki.

 

Danny O’Connor is one of the best in my weight division in New England. Everything he does, he does well.

 

I just need to keep my head and continue to come forward, I can’t get frustrated. I’m going 100 percent the full way through. If I’m busy and I fight smart I get good outcomes.

BIG-TIME BOXING RETURNS TO BOSTON ON SATURDAY, Mayu 23 WITH PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON NBC

TAKE A LOOK BACK AT BOSTON’S RICH BOXING HISTORY

Boston (Mayu 20, 2015) – Boston is known for being home to some of the most passionate sports fans in the country, but many may not know that it is also a city that has had a long and rich history with the sweet science. A kan Asabar, Mayu 23, world championship boxing is officially back in Beantown when Premier dambe gasar zakarun a kan NBC returns with a showdown between Andre Dirrell da kuma James DeGale at Boston University’s Agganis Arena with coverage on NBC beginning at 4:30 p.m. DA/1:30 p.m. Santa.

 

The last time Boston saw a world championship fight was May 23, 2006 when two world title fights took place at TD Bank Garden, formerly the Boston Garden. That night saw British superstar Ricky “Hitman” Hatton sha kashi Luis Collazo in a welterweight world title fight, yayin da Eric Aiken kau da baya undefeated Valdemir Pereira for a featherweight world title.

Fighting in the Boston Garden was a great honor, never mind in a world title fight, but even a four rounder,” ya ce Tony DeMarco, who won the welterweight world title in 1955 at the Boston Garden. “I had more fights there than anybody (28), including my pro debut. It’s always good fighting at home. You’re more comfortable at home. The fans know and honor you. Boston fans were real fight fans.

 

Boston has been deeply invested in boxing since the early 20ga watan century. Daga 1902-1908 the small town of Chelsea that borders Boston became the mecca for boxing as the sport was banned throughout most of America. Duk da haka, Chelsea had a special ordinance that legalized boxing. It was during this time that Jack Johnson was faced with what he admitted was the toughest fight of his career, when he defended his heavyweight title against Sam Langford on April 6, 1906. Johnson won by a 15-round unanimous decision and refused to fight Langford again.

 

Bugu da kari, Fenway Park, famed home of the Boston Red Sox, shirya 29 professional boxing cards between 1919 da kuma 1956. Beyond just hosting big fights, Boston has also produced a slew of Hall of Fame talent who were either born in Massachusetts or called the state home.

 

Noteworthy names include Roxbury heavyweight champions John L. Sullivan, Brockton heavyweight M Marcianoand Brockton resident and middleweight champion M Marvin Hagler. Boston’s own featherweight championsSandy Saddler da kuma George Dixon plus Boston promoter Rip Valenti have all been enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

 

Fighting in Boston was a great experience,” ya ce John Ruiz, a two-time heavyweight world champion from Chelsea. “Like any sport, Boston sports fans are true fans who follow your progress. I could feel their emotion wherever I fought. I will never forget them. I fought in Las Vegas a lot and there were always Boston fans there supporting me. I always appreciated them traveling all over the country to my fights.

 

A father-son duo from Arlington, Mass. both had an impact on the heavyweight landscape decades after each other. Tom McNeeley fought heavyweight world champion Floyd Patterson a 1961 and dropped the champion before eventually succumbing to a fourth round knockout. Over 30 years later, his son Bitrus was the first man to fight Mike Tyson after he was released from prison, with the fight ending in McNeeley being disqualified.

 

One of the more unique athletes to come out of Boston, Dr. WilbertSkeeterMcClure was an Olympic Gold medalist, a doctor of psychology and a Massachusetts boxing commissioner. While at the 1960 Olympics, McClure served as the co-captain for Team USA and was the roommate of fellow gold medalist Cassius Clay. While he never reached his potential as a professional, he received opportunities against world class opponents Luis Manuel Rodriguez sau biyu, da kumaJose Torres, losing all three by decision. He also lost a decision and fought to a draw against Rubin “Guguwa” Carter. After his professional boxing career, McClure served as a Massachusetts boxing commissioner before eventually retiring in the Boston area where he resides to this day.

 

Another greatly revered fighter to come out of the Boston-area is Lowell’s Micky Ward. Hugely popular for his exciting style, Ward compiled a 38-13 pro record with 27 knockouts. He was most known for the three epic fight of the year award-winning battles with the late Arturo Gatti. Ward’s life and career was portrayed in the award-winning filmThe Fighter”, which starred Mark Wahlberg as Ward.

 

It was great fighting in Boston. The fans were very supportive and knowledgeable about the game,” ya ce Ward. “It was like I was fighting at homeit was home for me as a fighter. Fans traveled a lot to my fights, ma. They were a little crazy, drank lot of beer and were more vocal than most places I ever fought. I loved it.

 

A kan Asabar, Mayu 23 a new crop of young and hungry fighters will lay it all on the line, hoping to write the next exciting chapter of boxing history in the city of Boston. The action begins at 1:30 p.m. DA inside of Agganis Arena.

PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON NBC CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT

Latsa saki
Domin Rabonka nan da nan Release

Lou DiBella

Mun gode, everybody for joining us for Premier Boxing Champions on NBC press call. The card is Saturday, Mayu 23RD. That’s the Asabar of Memorial Day weekend at Boston’s Agganis Arena. The start time on NBC is 4:30 p.m. DA/1:30 p.m. Santa.

 

Tikiti ga live taron, which is being promoted in associated with Murphys Boxing are priced at $250, $200, $100, $75, $50 da kuma $35, and they’re available at ticketmaster.com. Don cajin da wayar, kira Ticketmaster a 800-745-3000. Kuma, the NBC broadcast goes on at 4:30 p.m. DA/1:30 p.m. Santa.

 

We’re going to start the call by talking to our co-main event fighters, the guys are going to open the telecast. That’s light-heavyweight contender Edwin Rodriguez taking on undefeated light-heavyweight contender Craig Baker. Craig is 10-0 tare da 12 KO. He’s coming off a KO of highly regarded Umberto Savigne in his last fight and he’s looking to upset the apple cart and derail the career of Edwin Rodriguez who’s looking for another shot at a world title; this time at 175 fam.

 

Craig is promoted by Sampson Boxing. Craig, if you’d like to say a few words.

 

Craig Baker

Da kyau, I’m just grateful to have the opportunity to fight on such a grand field again. It clearly is what I dream about. It’s one of those things I’ve always looked forward to since I was little bity kid.

 

L. DiBella

Na gode. Edwin Rodriguez, the pride of Worchester, Massachusetts and is fighting in his home state. This is his second fight at light heavyweight. His only loss is to Andre Ward, one of the pound-for-pound fighters in the world and Edwin believes at light heavyweight he’s stronger, better and that he can win the title. Don haka, Edwin, would you like to say a few words?

 

Edwin Rodriguez

A. Na farko, I’d like to thank you, Lou, for bringing me back on NBC and giving me such a great opportunity and also to Al Haymon and the NBC crew. I’m ready to show the world that I’m one of the best or the best 175 pound fighter in the world. I just got to prove it and this is one of the steps to do it, fighting an undefeated fighter, Craig Baker, who’s hungry and I’m excited because I know that he’s hungry; I’m hungry to get at that elite level. It’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

 

Tambaya

A, I have a question for each of you if you don’t mind. Craig, how do you feel about fighting Edwin so close to his hometown?

 

C. Baker

At the end of the day that doesn’t really matter to me because everyone is out to pretty much beat the crap out of you. Don haka, it doesn’t matter where you fight. It’s the competition, and that’s how I take it.

 

Tambaya

Edwin, what will it mean to you to fight so close to Worcester?

 

Da kuma. Rodriguez

It means a lot because I haven’t fought at home for about four years now. Don haka, I’m excited to come back and fight close to home with family and friends supporting me. It’s something that helps me and pushes me to take it to the next level.

 

Tambaya

Edwin, first question; how do you feel at light-heavyweight? Are you more comfortable now than you were at super middleweight? Do you feel stronger, and is your stamina a little better?

 

Da kuma. Rodriguez

I feel great now. I feel like 175 is the weight that I belong at. I feel like I’m strong and I’m fast and I feel like I’m the best light heavyweight. I just need the opportunity to prove it, and this is one of them and I’m excited.

 

Tambaya

You’re with Al Haymon. Adonis Stevenson is with Al Haymon. Is that what boxing and fans can assume, that this is all building towards a fight with Adonis Stevenson for the title?

 

Da kuma. Rodriguez

A yanzu, I’m focused on Baker. He’s an undefeated hungry fighter, but that’s the goal. I want to fight the best guy so I can prove that I’m the best. Adonis Stevenson is a good fighter. He has proved he’s the world champion and that’s who I want in the future. Don haka, I’m just setting myself up and I’m working hard to look impressive against Baker and to get my opportunity to show the world that I’m on the best.

 

Tambaya

Craig, just what is it about Edwin that impresses you and what will you have to do to beat him?

 

C. Baker

Da kyau, I’m really impressed with the improvements that he’s made. I see him pushing forward, pushing issues and always in your face. That’s good. Ina son wancan. A karshen ranar, I just have to show up and fight. That’s the way I take the game. I have to bring my A game at all times and that’s what I do.

 

Tambaya

I was looking at the records of a lot of your opponents. You fought a lot of guys with pretty poor records. Why is that and why did you make the step up a couple of fights ago?

 

C. Baker

I just felt like it was time, daya.

 

Tambaya

Edwin, what impresses you about Craig Baker?

 

Da kuma. Rodriguez

He’s a hungry fighter and it doesn’t matter who he’s fought. He’s undefeated and you can’t take an undefeated fighter lightly, especially one that defeated a guy that had over 400 amateur fights and was a big prospect in the pros, like Savigne. You can’t take a guy like Craig Baker lightly.

 

Tambaya

You’ve defeated undefeated fighters in the past. Don haka, how is your confidence level going in when you fight somebody who hasn’t lost?

 

Da kuma. Rodriguez

I believe a lot of my skills and I’m very confident, but I’m not stupid. I know that a fighter who’s undefeated comes in with a very strong mentality and I’m ready. I’ve been working hard for this fight knowing that this guy is undefeated and I have to take that away from him. But at the same time, we’ve got to respect everyone because we’re all competitors and it’s all about looking good and winning and he’s just in my way right now.

 

L. DiBella

Na gode. The main event of the evening is a super middleweight world title fight and it features two guys that have been engrained into boxing since they were amateurs. James DeGale is an Olympic gold medalist. He’ll be facing Andre Dirrell. James is from England; Andre from the US. Andre was a bronze medalist in the Olympics. This is a match of two of the very best super middleweights in the world and figures to be a terrific fight.

 

James is promoted by Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn is on the call. When you go to Q&A, if anyone has a question for Eddie, Eddie is available. We’re going to start with James DeGale. James, would you like to say a few words? James is 21-1, tare da 14 Kos.

 

James DeGale

Haka ne, my time is here. My time is here, gaba Asabar. I’ve trained extremely hard and you’re in for a treat because you’re going to watch two very talented hungry fighters gaba Asabar fight it out for a world title. I honestly think it’s going to be a hell of a fight, one I’m confident of winning. Don haka, fasten your seatbelts, daya. It should be good.

 

L. DiBella

Na gode, James. Andre Dirrell, please say a few words.

 

Andre Dirrell

I agree with James. This is going to be a very good fight. I’ve trained my butt off as well. Everything went very smoothly this camp. He’s a hungry fighter. I’m a hungry fighter. We are both in desperate need or desperate want of a world title and I myself feel very confident and I’m excited about this match, daya. He feels like he’s an undefeated fighter. I feel like I’m an undefeated fighter, but we both have a lot to prove, daya. Don haka, we’re going to come to the full effect and I believe it’s going to be a great show.

 

L. DiBella

Na gode, Wasu. We’re going to open it up to questions now. One more time, it’s PBC on NBC broadcast. It will be on May 23RD, Asabar afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend, 4:30 p.m. DA/1:30 p.m. Santa. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster, 1-800-745-3000 and we’re going to open it up for questions now.

 

Tambaya

This is for James. This is your first fight in the United States and also, this is the first time a lot of people are going to get to see you because you’re going to be on national television. What are you expecting in terms of the energy and what it’s going to be like performing in a completely new audience?

 

J. DeGale

Haka ne. I’m looking forward to it. I’m used to it as well because obviously back in England I’m promoted by Matchroom, a well-known commercial company. Don haka, I box on big shows in front of 10,000-20,000 mutane. It should be good. They have a lot of Irish and English over there. Don haka, I should have some good support and I’m looking forward to it.

 

Tambaya

Let me follow-up with another question. There was a time that you considered retiring from the sport and becoming a personal trainer. Can you talk about that a little bit and looking back, are you glad you made the right decision to continue to do boxing?

 

J. DeGale

Haka ne. It’s pretty simple. I was going through a hard time with my promoter at the time and I was a bit depressed because I wasn’t getting my chances and I wasn’t getting the right fights and I boxed on small shows. I basically was a bit depressed and I couldn’t motivate myself properly. Don haka, yeah, that was the way it was and then I made the change to Matchroom and things have just gone from pretty bad to really great.

 

Babu shakka, my last two performances speak for themself. I boxed Brandon Gonzales, an undefeated American, a confident American. He come over to America and I boxed him front of 80,000 people and knocked him out in four rounds.

 

Then four months later, I boxed Periban. If you don’t know Marco Antonio Periban, he boxed Sakio Bika for the world title and lost on a split decision and I knocked him out in three rounds. Don haka, I’m confident. I’m feeling good, and I’m motivated very well at the minute.

 

Tambaya

Wasu, when you brother lost, he lost a close decision .What was your conversation with Anthony like because you lost a close fight you thought you’d won. Don haka, how have you been able to converse with him about getting through that loss?

 

A. Dirrell

Da kyau, I didn’t have to say much because he was confident after the fight, but I pretty much had him realize that you’ve had a bad night after he had a terrific camp, but I believe that’s where he left it. He left it in that. When it came to fight time, he had a few setbacks leading up to the fight and unfortunately, he lost, but we saw a lot of things that he needs to correct. I told him to watch the fight over and over again because that’s what I used to do in my fight, any fight that I feel bad about. Don haka, I just told him keep his confidence up, man and stay on that run, daya. Don’t lay off at all. That’s all we can do, daya. I’ve learned a lot from past experience and one thing’s for certain; you can’t take anything from the past and bring it to the future. Only confidence.

 

Don haka, I’m feeling good, daya. He’s excited for me and I’m going to keep that name alive and keep the Dirrell name going.

 

Tambaya

Everybody talks about the super middleweights, they talk about Andre Ward. But it seems like some people forget how good of a boxer that you are because you had to take this time off. With this being on NBC and getting in front of a large audience, are you looking at this as an opportunity to put your name back in that conversation for people who may have forgotten how good Andre Dirrell is?

 

A. Dirrell

People know and in the end, it’s my job to keep my name lean. I haven’t had the opportunity to do that as well. I had a major setback as well, but with that I stayed in the game, stayed sharp. I was sharp in my last couple of performances. I’m looking forward to the future and this is the breakout fight like I said. James is one hell of a fighter. He has a lot of heart, a lot of spunk, a lot of energy, daya, and he wants to win.

 

If you want to put me in front of a fighter for a world championship fight, then James DeGale is bar none one of the best to do it in front of. Don haka, I’m excited about this fight. I think this is probably one of the biggest fights from Premier Boxing Champion that they’ve had and I’m excited to be on that big stage. Don haka, I want a breakout performance and I did everything in camp to make sure I can do so.

 

Tambaya

How does it feel to be the first Brit on the verge of making some boxing history?

 

J. DeGale

Shi ji mai girma, but I need to stay focused and keep my eye out on the prize. That’s what I have to do. Amma, ka san abin da? A lot of people say I’m obsessed about making history, about becoming the first Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain to win a genuine world title. Amma ka san abin da? Ni. I am because that’s what drives me and that’s what makes me train hard every day. Don haka, yeah, I’m looking forward to it.

 

Tambaya

Lafiya, and you touched on a little bit there. I mean not so long ago you were boxing in front of a couple of hundred people at the shopping center in Blue Water and now you’re making noise on TV in America. How does that feel, the difference?

 

J. DeGale

Da kyau, it’s fantastic. Sure a lot of credit has to go to Eddie Hearn. I’m a buzz fire. I like the big audience. I like the big lights. I’m just feeling real relaxed, chilled and ready to perform gaba Asabar. I’m buzzing. I really can’t wait; just being in America and knowing that I’m going to make my debut gaba Asabar in front of millions of Americans and back in the UK as well. It’s going to be fantastic.

 

Tambaya

Wasu, this fight seems to be your highest profile fight since five years ago when you had the Abraham fight, when he got DQ’ed. You were leading at that time. Can you tell us at this point, where are you physically and mentally compared to where you were when you were obviously at the top of the division five years ago?

 

A. Dirrell

Da kyau, I look at it all from a mental aspect. As of now, daya, I’m grown tremendously in my mind. I’ve realized how important boxing is to me and what it takes to become world champion, the work you have to put in and I just follow those guidelines every day. I’m a very motivated fighter, very self-motivated. A lot of fighters run with music, have to listen to music.

 

If I can hear my punches while I’m hitting the bag, I’m motivated. Don haka, nothing motivates me more than hard work and that’s all I look for. The fight is won in the gym, not on fight night. It’s what you do in the gym, not how hard you put up a fight.

 

I’ve done all of that and more. I feel very relaxed. I’m very energetic and I’m feeling the vibe already and I really can’t wait to make Asabar myself. I feel I have a lot to prove and I have a different Andre Dirrell to show, one that’s just as sharp, just as fast, just as brave, but just has a bigger mental capacity. I’m excited about next week.

 

Tambaya

What do you think your advantages are over James DeGale in this fight?

 

A. Dirrell

We’re pretty much evenly matched and I actually like that scenario because I know I’m faster. I know I’m smarter and I know I’m a better boxer. It’s just as simple as that. Amma, none of that can come into play without hard work, and I know he’s worked his ass off, daya. He has to come over to America just like I went over there to England to try to fight for a world championship.

 

I know what kind of guy I’m going to face come the 23RD. I’ve worked my butt off like I said, , and with those advantages, I’ve put the hard work in so I can display that. I just feel like I’ll be the better man that night.

 

Tambaya

James, tell us why you think you’re confident that you’re going to be able to win this fight?

 

J. DeGale

Momentum is a big thing. Look at my last two performances against good, quality opponents and look his last three. Listen, I come from good pedigree and so does Andre. We’re good, quality, young fighters. But I just think overall, I’m better. I think he struggles. He doesn’t like it when it gets hard in there. He’s a competent fighter, but he likes it when he’s dictating the pace and he’s on the front foot.

 

Well listen, I’m not going to let him rest. He thinks this is going to be a boxing match. Da kyau, this ain’t. I’m telling him now. This ain’t going to be a boxing match. I’m going in there and I’m taking the title. I’m taking it. I’m ripping it away from him.

 

Tambaya

Do you think you’re a really improved fighter? I know that the loss that you had to Groves was very controversial, but how much do you think you’ve improved since that fight with Groves?

 

J. DeGale

It’s like night and day. Listen, and another thing, I was in this for two years as well. I had two operations on my groin. Don haka, I couldn’t throw my shots with any power. I couldn’t run the ring properly. Even in the fight at Wembley in front of 80,000 Na yi ba 100% dama. Even against Periban I wasn’t 100% dama. Now I’m 100% dama, fully healthy, fully focused and mentally right. Don haka, you’re going to see me step up again gaba Asabar.

 

Tambaya

James, you mentioned about being a buzz fighter and this is the biggest stage, the biggest pressure you’ve ever been under. Don haka, does this mean we’re going to see your best ever performance?

 

J. DeGale

I honestly do. The way I’ve been in the gym training, sparring, running, I honestly think you’re going to see the performance of my career so far. My last couple of fights after my injuries have been sorted and I just got better and better and I think this one is going to top it and winning my world title as well and making history.

 

Tambaya

Amma, do you deal with the pressure and does that inspire you more?

JamesI thrive on it. Ka sani ni. I thrive in it. I’m just looking forward to it. As I say, it’s my debut as a professional in America. Don haka, I’m buzzing right now. You don’t understand. I’m just really looking forward to it.

 

Tambaya

Wasu. You’ve obviously fought Carl Froch and you’ve watched video of James I imagine. How do they compare as fighters and who do you rate as a better fighter?

 

A. Dirrell

As far as skill, I can give it to James DeGale, but as far as toughness, mental toughness, physical toughness, that’s Carl Froch. We all know how mentally strong he is. Don haka, I have to give the edge to Carl Froch in that aspect, but as I said before, I know DeGale is coming to fight and no one gets in that ring and fights me as they want to fight. You know what I’m saying? Just like he thinks it’s going to be an easy fight. I feel like I have a lot more to prove as well.

 

Don haka, I’m looking to bring the fight as well and I’m working hard in the gym. I made it tough on myself. The more pressure you actually put on me, the more dangerous I become.

 

I’m really excited as well, daya. I have a lot to prove. He has a lot to prove. This is going to be the best fight yet on Premier Boxing Champions.

 

Tambaya

Basically for Andre, there was a chance obviously this fight could end up going to Britain. You’ve been to Britain before and you were very unlucky against Carl Froch. Was that something you were against, to face another title fight in Britain?

 

A. Dirrell

I’m not going to say that because I enjoyed my time over there. I believe I won the fight like I said and it just didn’t go my way unfortunately. I don’t like to judge my future fights based on past. I look forward to fighting in Britain again, in England again, the UK again whenever that day may come. I had a lot of fans over there; I have a lot of fans over there and I enjoy my time over there. I’ve been going over there since the amateurs. I enjoy it very much and I’m a world-class fighter. Don haka, I want to be displayed on a world-class level.

 

I’m definitely looking forward to it. If it was over there, if it had to be over there, Sabõda haka, shi. I would have came over there to fight James. We are world competitors, world-class. We fight for world titles. Why should it be in America all the time? This is a world-class sport and we should treat it like one.

 

Tambaya

Arthur Abraham kind of robbed you of your great win when he hit you on the floor. That was looking like such a great performance that night. In the sort of layup after that, how close did you come to actually having to retire? Was there ever a time you thought you might not box again?

 

A. Dirrell

I was going through some stuff with my family. I actually wanted to. I knew in my heart that I’d get my time again. I knew my time would come. I knew I had a chance of getting out of my contract. Don haka, I kept training. I mana, there were times that I would hit slumps and feel like I’m doing it for nothing, but it was quite a stressful time for me. I think I always knew that I would be able to get back in that ring. Don haka, I stayed busy and it didn’t really totally veer me away from the sport, but I do know the feeling.

 

I did feel like any moment could come up to where that it could be over just like that and I had to deal with it and I could easily retire. If it happened again, I just might. I knew that my time was coming again. There’s always hope there. I just kept pushing forward and here I am now.

 

Tambaya

One for you, James, quickly. You’re in Florida now. Can you tell us where you are and how’s it going?

 

J. DeGale

Haka ne, kar ka, I’m in Miami. I’ve been training here for the past week. Don haka, we climatized and we adjusted and we’re ready to go.

 

L. DiBella

Just a couple of final words. Na gode, Edwin, Craig, Andre and James. This is a great undercard that features a lot of New England talent and I want to acknowledge Murphys Boxing, our friend Ken Casey who’s with the legendary Irish band, the Dropkick Murphys, and is helping us with local promotion.
