Below is what the boxers said Tuesday:

RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV

(On the importance of this fight)

Every fight is important. I come out for every fight to give everything I have. For meg, every fight is like the last fight. So this is a very important fight, just like any other.

I don’t like to make predictions too much; boxing is an unpredictable sport and it’s hard to say what will happen. Anything can happen on June 11. We’ve got a little bit to wait and we’ll see what happens.

I don’t know if it will go to the scorecards. Alt kan skje. He is also a great fighter, so maybe it will go to the scorecards.

(On what he expects from John Molina Jr.)

I’m expecting him to come to fight. No doubt he’s a fighter, he’s a warrior. For somebody to defeat me is a big motivation and I know he’ll be coming to win.

“Uansett hva, he’s going to do anything possible to win this fight. That’s what I expect from people that take a fight with methat they’ll die in the ring to defeat me because it would be a great accomplishment. So I’m expecting a real war, a real fight.

(On the style of fighting and the matchup)

I think this is the type of fight that will be exciting and all-action. I think it’s a great matchup and it will be exciting for the fans.

(On who he’s looking to fight next)

I’m not thinking about that too much right now. Luckily my weight classes, både 140 og 147, there’s no problem with the opposition. There (er) a lot of guys, a lot of stars. After this fight on June 11 we’ll be able to start thinking about what’s next.

I’ve always said that I’m willing to fight anyone at 140 og 147, just let me know when and I’ll be there. I’m ready to fight any of the top guys.

(On if he would rather fight a boxer or a come-forward fighter like Molina)

I definitely like the guys that come to fight. For me that is a better, more enjoyable fight. I like to fight a guy that wants to brawl.

(On if he’s ready to box if Molina choses to box instead of brawl)

“Denn June 11, I’ll be ready for anything that can happen in the ring. I’ve been watching previous fights and correcting my mistakes and I’ll be ready for anything he decides to bring.

(On not fighting for eight months)

I don’t see too much of a negative side to that. I just wanted some time off and now I’m ready to come back. I’m always in shape; I’m always in the gym, always training.

I’m training all the time and always moving around even when I’m at home. Akkurat nå, training camp is going very well. Joel Diaz is very happy with training and he says everything is going a lot better than the last training camp. Everything is 100 prosent. I’m not worried at all.

(On his relationship with trainer Joel Diaz)

“Alt går bra. When Joel and I are training together it’s always very positive. That’s important for me. I’m enjoying the training camp and I’m having a good time, som er det viktigste.

Boxing-wise I’ve added a lot of different things. Viktigst, I’ve increased my defensive skills and that’s going to show in this fight very much and I’m positive of that. More than that, my punching combinations have gotten better in the last few camps and that’s going to show. Joel and I work well together and that’s definitely important.

JOHN MOLINA JR.

(Thoughts leading up to the fight)

I am really excited. Ruslan is a hell of a fighter and competitor. I think it’s a can’t-miss, all-action fight when you have someone like myself and Ruslan in there.

Stylistically I think there are thing that I have to my advantage. Stature-wise: my height, my reach. Men når det er sagt, when the fight starts, all of that is going to go out the window and we’re going to fight.

We were both in Fights of the Year, but we were both on the losing ends. Now we want to be on the winning end. I think that is an unwritten motivation for both of us.

Stylistically it’s a great matchup. We’ve had a common opponent and of course you can draw that he was in a Fight of the Year with some other fighter. But I’m not that stature. I am 5-feet-11 with a reach that he can’t compare with. Denn June 11 after the first bell rings, I’ll be able to tell you exactly how the fight is going to play out.

(On the importance of winning this fight)

Every fight is important. Fortunately and unfortunately, boxing is a ‘what have you done for me latelytype of sport. For meg, I didn’t have an extensive amateur career so the pros were, in essence, my amateur career. But I believe I’m at the right spot right now, where I need to be to hit my stride.

Of course a victory is always the goal. I don’t like to lose at checkers and I don’t want to lose at boxing. To keep the lifestyle that I have going, I have to continue to be victorious and move forward.

We definitely want to catapult off of a big marquee name. We want to be on the winning side. Det er målet 110 prosent. We won’t be satisfied with anything less than a victory. I’m not content with getting in these fights because people love to watch me fight. I want to be content with getting these fights because I’m victorious and that’s what we’re planning on doing on June 11.

I feel like you’re going to get the best of me now. I feel like my longevity isn’t a question because I didn’t have the extensive amateur career. A lot of these guys have been boxing since they were eight years old. I didn’t start until I was 17. Jeg gjorde ikke slå pro før jeg var 24. I only had 22 amatør kamper. So the miles on my odometer, så å si, are less than someone like Ruslan who had an extensive amateur career. He’s been in more wars than me.

Either way you slice it, boxing takes something from you. Whether it’s your youth, your sharpness, boxing is that kind of a sport where it draws something from your body. I believe he’s had it worse than me. I feel stronger and more experienced for lacking those years.

DEJAN ZLATCANIN

(On what this fight means for his career)

This is the most important fight for me because the WBC title has been my dream since the first day I went to the gym. I will be the new champion.

I was always the underdog in every fight but now I don’t get underestimated. My opponent is going to get the best me on June 11. I think those who underestimated me were wrong all along, but I will put some good shots on him and he’ll go down. I will knock him out.

I think they [fans] will cheer for me like I am a home fighter and I will do my best to bring the good fight.

(På sin motstander)

He’s a boxer. He’s smart, but he has no power. He will try to box, keep a distance and use his height advantage. He will use his footwork to keep me at bay, but it won’t work.

(Thoughts on fighting for first world title)

I am very excited and I am very happy to be fighting for my first world title. I am coming from a little country and I want everyone to know where Montenegro is and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

(On fighting in U.S. for first time)

People in America, they’re fans, they love good boxing. It doesn’t matter where you are from, they just like good fights. They like my style because I am a fighter and I go forward.

Nedenfor er det jagerfly hadde å si:

 

RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV

“As soon as I heard the name John Molina, I jumped on it. Molina fights with the type of style that people want to see. He brings the action.

 

"Juni 11 is another Fight of the Year-type fight. Du kan forvente fyrverkeri.

 

“People expect action fights when I get in the ring. I appreciate that SHOWTIME saw a value in what I can offer and I want to make sure that I don’t let them down.

 

“I’ve only seen one fight of his, and that was the fight with (Lucas) Matthysse. That fight shows the type of fighter he is.

 

“I think our styles are going to clash. The reason people love this is because it’s unpredictable. Nobody knows what’s going to happen on Juni 11. Nobody can even predict which way it’s going to go. We’re both punchers, we both go forward, we both fight in a risky style. I think that’s going to make this fight a fight that everybody should watch.

 

“The fight is already a huge motivation, but the fact that the Hall of Fame is the same weekend is definitely great. I’m definitely pleased to know that because hopefully one day I can be a part of that.”

 

 

JOHN MOLINA JR.

 

“We’re never say die fighters. We come forward. It’s literally like two trains that are going to collide. It’s a can’t miss fight.

 

“He’s a hell of a fighter. He has a big heart and a big will.

 

“Right now, my only focus is – and I know it sounds generic – but my only focus is on Ruslan Provodnikov. He deserves my undivided attention right now because he’s that kind of fighter.

 

“I have to prepare for someone that has a never say die attitude. He’s like a virus that will never go away. He’s a hell of a fighter – he has a big heart and a big will. It’s tough to beat a guy that wants to win.

 

“We’re going to give the fans a treat, a Gatti-Ward type fight. I expect nothing less. We can have a phone booth, we don’t need a big ring.

 

“The judges probably don’t even need to be there because we’re going to decide the fight ourselves.”

 

Demetrius ANDRADE

 

“Willie Nelson, he’s going to come in and he’s going to try and throw those power shots. He’s going to try to stomp me down and make a statement, but I’ve been doing this for too long. I’m just ready to be where I need to be, where I deserve to be, and that’s on the top.

“I’m not worried about ring rust. I stayed in the gym like a true champion should. I’m still young in the game so I don’t think I should have any problems seeing or ducking any punches.

 

“I’m confident and I know I’m the best 154-pounder out there and this fight right here is going to let people know that I’m back in business.

 

“Everybody knows the work that I’ve put in. The time is now and the time is coming.

 

“I’m ready to re-introduce myself to boxing fans and show them I’m the best 154-pounder in the world.

 

“After this fight with Willie Nelson, I plan on fighting the winner of Jermell Charlo and John Jackson and getting that WBC belt. Og etter det, I want to face the rest of the division and prove I’m the best.”

Dejan Zlaticanin To Face Emiliano Marsili For WBC Lightweight World Championship In Opening Bout Of Ruslan Provodnikov vs. John Molina Jr.. Tripleheader

Live på SHOWTIME® Ved 9 pm. OG/6 pm. PT

During International Boxing Hall of Fame Weekend

From Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

NEW YORK (April 11, 2016) – An outstanding super welterweight clash has been added to SHOWTIME Championship BoxingLørdag, Juni 11 som ubeseiret, former WBO Junior Middleweight Champion Demetrius Andrade will face hard-hitting perennial contender Willie Nelson in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator. The winner of the 12-round co-feature will become the mandatory challenger to the winner of the Mai 21 showdown between Jermell Charlo and John Jackson, who face off for the vacant WBC 154-pound title on SHOWTIME.

 

Andrade vs. Nelson will serve as the chief support to the all-action matchup between former junior middleweight world champion Ruslan Provodnikov and former world title challenger John Molina Jr.., leve på SHOWTIME (9 pm. OG/6 pm. PT) fra Turning Stone Casino i Verona, New York. Andrade vs. Nelson is a co-promotion with Banner Promotions, Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and DiBella Entertainment

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader during International Boxing Hall of Fame weekend, WBC No. 1-ranked lightweight Dejan Zlaticanin will take on No. 2-rangert Emiliano Marsili for the vacant WBC Lightweight World Championship.

 

Fighting out of his native Providence, R.I., the 28-year-old Andrade has compiled an unblemished record of 22-0 med 15 knockouts since turning professional in 2008 after representing the United States in the 2008 OL i Beijing, Porselen.

 

A crafty southpaw with a piston-like jab and knockout power in each hand, Andrade won the vacant WBO Junior Middleweight World Championship with a career-best performance over Vanes Martirosyan on November 9, 2013 and successfully defended the title against No. 1-ranked mandatory challenger Brian Rose on June 14, 2014. Most recently Andrade, who is a consensus top-5 super welterweight, scored a second-round knockout over Dario Fabian Pucheta on October 17, 2015.

 

A true road warrior who is extremely tall for a junior middleweight at 6-foot-3, Nelson (25-2-1, 15 KO s) has faced and defeated numerous top contenders over his 10-year career. Fighting only once in 2015, the Cleveland native upset highly regarded and undefeated junior middleweight prospect Tony Harrison with a ninth-round knockout on Juli 11 i Tampa, Florida. In his first start of 2016, Nelson stopped Jonathan Batista in the second round on March 25.

 

Other notable names the all-action Nelson has defeated include John Jackson, Luciano Cuello, Michael Medina and Yudel Jackson. Oktober 14, 2014, Nelson came up just short against Martirosyan, losing a hotly contested 10-round decision on SHOWTIME.

 

The southpaw Zlaticanin (17-0, 10 KOs) was an accomplished amateur in Eastern Europe before making a statement in his U.S. debut with an impressive fourth-round TKO of previously undefeated Ivan Redkach in a 135-pound title eliminator last Juni 13på SHOWTIME.

 

Two bouts prior to the win over Redkach, Dejan (pronounced “DAY-han) Zlaticanin (silent “z” – pronounced “la-ti-CAH-nin) earned a well-deserved 12-round split decision over hometown favorite and former two-division world champion Ricky Burns in 2014.

 

The 31-year-old Zlaticanin is an offensive-minded fighter who constantly pressures his opponents, outworks them and wears them down. Zlaticanin, of the Southeastern European country of Montenegro, will be making his first start in nearly 12 måneder.

 

The win over Redkach last June earned Redkach the WBC’s mandatory position at 135 pounds. He was scheduled to face WBC Champion Jorge Linares in early 2016, but Linares pulled out of the bout with a broken hand. Due to the injury, the WBC has since named Linares their champion in recess, creating the opportunity for the vacant title shot.

 

The Italian Marsili (32-0-1, 14 KOs) vil gjøre sin 2016, US-. and SHOWTIME debut. The undefeated southpaw has fought all but one of his professional fights in Italy, the lone exception a 2012 TKO of veteran contender Derry Matthews in Britain.

 

The 39-year old fought twice in 2015, a seventh-round TKO of Gyorgy Mizsei Jr., for the European lightweight belt and a 12-round unanimous decision over Gamaliel Diaz for the WBC’s 135-pound silver title.
