Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, dito Luns:
Demetrius Andrade
Reflections of Muhammad Ali:
“Muhammad Ali certainly shook the world, and not only in boxing. He was colorful; nobody talked like him. He helped boxers, moi. Ali is the reason Floyd (Mayweather, Jr) is who he is because Ali set the bar high.
“As an entertaining boxer, Ali brought blacks and whites together and later he spread the word about religion, culture and his other diverse interests.
“What young boxer didn’t do the Ali Shuffle? I know I did, and taunted my opponents like him, too.”
About Pros in the Olympics:
“I’m for pros in the Olympics as long as an amateur, who has a few Olympic trials, has the first opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. Coming up in the amateurs, I fought grown men, some who had been Olympians a few times. Estaba 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, poder e capacidade. Desafortunadamente, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Si! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, si, I’d do it now for the chance to win gold. But I do think headgear should be applied in amateur boxing, including the Olympics.”
On the 154-pound division:
“I’m putting myself in the best position to fight for the WBO or WBC title. There are rumors of Canelo fighting (WBO champion Liam) Ferreiro. Let me fight Smith and the winner gets Canelo. Or let me fight Canelo with the winner getting Smith.
“I’m going to knock out the Charlo twins. Both guys have fought on SHOWTIME, so those fights shouldn’t be too difficult to make. Once I take care of business with the Charlo twins, I’ll fight Lara (WBA champion) to clean up the division.”
On Gennady Golovkin:
“I definitely want to fight Golovkin. Let me build myself up first, by cleaning out the 154-division, and then we’ll have a mega-fight with two different styles. GGG is known for his knockouts. I knock out people, moi, but I’m a better boxer than him. It’ll be one of the biggest fights in the sport of boxing. I’m going to clean up the 154-division, make my reputation and then it’s a go with GGG.”
Relationship with his opponent Willie Nelson:
“We were in the U.S. amateurs together, but because we were in two different weight classes – he was 140-147 e eu estaba 152 – there were no problems between us. We used to watch each other fight and watch other Americans box.
“Nelson is experienced having gone through the amateurs. He fought (Vanes) Martirosyan, who I beat (for the vacant WBO title by 12-round unanimous decision). He’s fought at this level. I know he’s tall, but I’m 6-foot-1, so our height difference isn’t serious.”
On returning to the ring:
“I’m pleased that we have this opportunity. SHOWTIME has given me this chance and now it’s up to me to prove I can backup what we said.”

MIAMI (Abril 6, 2015) – Empresario de boxeo Veteran John Seip asinou altamente condecorado boxeador afeccionado italiano Daniel Mark Scardina para un contrato exclusivo de xestión.
Seip é máis coñecido por orientador Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin a Organización Mundial de Boxeo (WBO) título dos medios do mundo. O nativo de New Yorker tamén xestiona subindo británico super-medios Corcel “O Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 Kos).
The 21-year-old Scardina vén de Rozzano, unha cidade de menos de 40,000 de persoas na provincia de Milán. Empezou o boxeo en 2008 coa idade de 16, seguindo os pasos do seu tío, que foi un boxeador, nese momento, así como modelo de Daniele.
Scardina, que tiña 56 loitas afeccionadas, honores mellores capturados en numerosos torneos italianas, incluíndo o National Rovereto, Luva de Prata Nacional, e dúas Luvas de Ouro Nacionais. Tamén gañou unha medalla de bronce en evento internacional.
En 2013, el casetonado ao Boxing Team Italia Thunder in the World Series of Boxing, gañar o seu único partido contra un rival alemán.
Scardina primeiro chamou a atención de Seip no mundialmente famoso 5th St. Academia en Miami Beach, orixinalmente inaugurado en 1950 por Chris Dundee, e na casa de campións mundiais incontables adestrar alí, incluíndo Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston e Willie Pep. A rica tradición continúa co novo 5th St. Academia, situado nas proximidades, 1434 Alton Rúa, onde os mellores loitadores de todo o mundo, tales como Bernard Hopkins aínda adestrar.
“A primeira vez que o vin adestrando na 5th St. Ximnasio e el parecía un afeccionado típico,” Seip explicou. “El xogou socos de ancho e non sabía como xogar un bo jab. Trainers Guy Laieta e Dino Spencer comecei a traballar con el, e agora está a usar o seu alcance, combate a unha distancia, e xogando combinacións de jabs e ganchos. El é apaixonado por boxeo, escoitar e aprender todos os días. Daniele ten boa velocidade da man e poder. El é un neno bonito, moi. Vin algo nel, intanxibles, e decidiu contratalo lo.
“Dino é un propietario que creou un top-notch ximnasio con grandes oportunidades de sparring nunha atmosfera que caracterizan tantos loitadores talent que realmente empurrar uns aos outros. É xa evidente que Danielle mellorou o seu adestramento de habilidades alí. El é longo, rápido e poderoso. Súa ética de traballo é incrible; el é o primeiro no ximnasio, último a saír. Non podes ferir o neno, ou. Todos cremos que ten un futuro moi brillante.”
Ao contrario de combatentes de Rusia e antigos países do bloque soviético, así como aqueles latinoamericanos que veñen a Estados Unidos para establecer as súas carreiras de boxeo profesional, Loitadores nacidos de italianos raramente seguiron o mesmo camiño que Scardina, que se cambiou a Miami o ano pasado e durmir no chan do apartamento do seu irmán.
O solitario campión do mundo de orixe italiana que loitou profesional nos Estados Unidos é Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 Kos), quen foi o campión dos medios do WBC / WBA en 1979-1980. Antuofermo, aínda, trasladouse coa súa familia a Brooklyn de Puglia, Italia, cando el era 17 e aprendeu a caixa en América.
“Sempre quixo ser un campión de América,” Scardina dixo. “Ese é o soño americano para min. Eu creo que eu vou ter unha grande oportunidade neste país ser o maior boxeador podo estar coa axuda certa. John Seip é o director certo para min, porque cre que pudermos o campionato mundial xuntos como un equipo.”
Puxilista favoritos de Scardina son Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux e Miguel Cotta. “Eu estou a traballar en perfección como un loitador fóra e principais meus brazos máis próximos,” Scardina engadido. Estou loitando para facer campión do mundo.”
Scardina se espera para facer a súa estrea en maio ou xuño.
