What has been said?
"I've progressed really quickly through the ranks and had very exciting fights"
"I got there with the WBO 'interim' but the belts were tied up.”
"The full title - that's what I'm going for. But also I want to be in big fights that have a lot of excitement around them."
"Joe is not going to win"
"He can train as much as he wants, but when it comes to the real grind of it, I'm more vicious than him.”
"I fear no man. There's no feeling each other out in the first round - I'm going in."
“That was it as far as I understand. It is what is now. It’s all over. The police were called. Nothing happened. They didn’t arrest him or the delivery driver.”
“It’s on and I’m looking forward to it"
“It’s quite an interesting fight. I said a couple of years ago I felt that Derek should be retiring, so he’s going to be able to prove me wrong and we’ll see who’s right.”
“The loser in this fight I really do feel like their time at the top level will definitely be over.”
“This is a must-win fight for both of them.”
