Seleted fighter quotes:
Anthony Joshua:
“God is good, life is good, no complaining. I had about ten days off [after I beat Wallin] to get back to basics and get on the grind. God is good. We’re happy. All will be revealed.
Francis Ngannou:
“I think I haven’t shocked the world yet. But first of all, I want to thank everybody here for making this happen. All of the promoters are here. I also want to thank His Excellency my brother Turki Alalshikh. I want to thank AJ for also being part of this. It always takes two to tango, so thank you for being here and making this happen.
World title fights
Nick Ball
” I’ve got my opportunity and will take it with both hands. I respect all fighters, and he is a world champion, so he is No.1. fight night that will change. It is always the goal to remain focused, and that is what I am doing now, taking each day as it comes and enjoying this experience. I am ready to get the job done. No one knows what will happen until you get in the ring, and I am coming in explosive, so we will soon find out. It will mean everything to me because this is a life-changing fight.”
Rey Vargas
“This fight I take pretty seriously; it is a mandatory fight, and I am ready to defend my title and talk with my fists, not words. I understand that every promoter is happy to see his fighter in the ring, but only two people exist. I am ready to fight. We can fight today, tomorrow, or any time – I am ready to fight. I am a true champion, and my record speaks for itself. I will prove myself as I have done throughout my career. You will see Rey Vargas giving everything in the ring.”
Israil Madrimov
“I am so happy to be here. Thank you to His Excellency for giving me this chance and this opportunity. Let’s go! The potential Terrance Crawford fight would be very interesting, but let’s focus on that fight in the future.”
Magomed Kurbano
“All of my life, I have been fighting at home. For me, the home is everywhere with a ring. So when I have been waiting for this chance for 16 years, I will use it. I will beat him like I have beaten my 25 opponents before him.”
