Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, suddetto Lunedi:
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, troppo. 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, pure."
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. Ero 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, potenza e abilità. Sfortunatamente, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Sì! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, sì, 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) Fabbro. 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, troppo, 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 io ero 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.”

Scardina, che aveva 56 attacchi amatoriali, catturato il massimo dei voti in numerosi tornei italiani tra cui il Rovereto Nazionale, Guanto d'argento nazionale, e due Golden Gloves nazionali. Ha anche vinto una medaglia di bronzo ad un evento internazionale.
In 2013, ha inscatolato per l'Italia Thunder Boxing Team nella World Series of Boxing, vincendo la sua unica partita contro un avversario tedesco.
Scardina prima catturato l'attenzione di Seip al famoso 5th St. Gym a Miami Beach, inaugurato nel 1950 da Chris Dundee, e la casa di innumerevoli campioni del mondo hanno addestrato lì compresi Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston e Willie Pep. La ricca tradizione continua nella nuova 5th St. Palestra, situato vicino a 1434 Alton Via, dove i migliori combattenti di tutto il mondo, come Bernard Hopkins ancora allenarsi.
“Ho visto la prima volta lui la formazione al 5th St. Palestra e sembrava un dilettante tipico,” Seip spiegato. “Ha gettato pugni larghi e non sapeva come gettare un buon jab. Formatori Guy Laieta e Dino Spencer ha iniziato a lavorare con lui e ora sta usando la sua portata, combattere a distanza, e gettando le combinazioni di colpi e ganci. E 'appassionato di boxe, ascoltare e imparare ogni giorno. Daniele ha una buona potenza e la velocità. E 'un bel ragazzo, troppo. Ho visto qualcosa in lui, intangibili, e ha deciso di ingaggiarlo.
“Dino è un proprietario che ha creato una palestra top-notch con grandi opportunità di combattimento in un ambiente che caratterizzano tanti combattenti di talento che in realtà spingono l'un l'altro. E 'già evidente che Danielle ha migliorato la sua formazione professionale lì. E 'lungo, veloce e potente. La sua etica del lavoro è incredibile; lui è il primo in palestra, ultimo a lasciare. Non si può far male questo ragazzo, o. Siamo tutti convinti che abbia un futuro molto brillante.”
A differenza di combattenti provenienti dalla Russia e paesi dell'ex blocco sovietico, così come quelli dell'America Latina che vengono negli Stati Uniti per stabilire la propria carriera professionale boxe, Caccia italiani nati raramente hanno seguito lo stesso percorso Scardina, che si è trasferito a Miami l'anno scorso e dorme sul pavimento dell'appartamento di suo fratello.

Antuofermo, anche se, si trasferì con la famiglia a Brooklyn dalla Puglia, Italia quando era 17 e ha imparato a box in America.
“Ho sempre voluto essere un campione in America,” Scardina said. “Questo è il sogno americano per me. Penso che avrò una grande opportunità in questo paese per essere il più grande pugile che posso stare con il giusto aiuto. John Seip è il manager giusto per me perché crede possibile il campionato del mondo insieme come una squadra.”
Pugili preferiti di Scardina sono Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux e Miguel Cotto. “Sto lavorando a perfezione come un combattente esterno e alle principali mie braccia più vicine,” Scardina added. Sto combattendo per diventare campione del mondo.”
Scardina si prevede di fare il suo debutto pro questo maggio o giugno.
