What has been said?
“Brad certainly isn’t seen as an easy touch,” Heaney (18-0, 6 KO’s) said at last week’s press conference. “Brad is seen as an English champion. When you look through the division and see who has got the titles, I’ve got the British title and then Brad’s the English champion. In my eyes, that's a worthy fight. It’s not easy picking at all.
"That motivation will be there for everyone, particularly when you’re fighting for a big title like this one. He said he’s probably a bit better than people think and I agree. He’s got a good jab, I think defensively he’s better than you’d assume he is. He’s got good movement. It sets up for a good fight. I’ve got attributes myself, but it is how we nullify each other.”
“I still think I’ve got a lot to prove,” he said. “People might perceive that I didn’t perform that good and that Bentley performed bad. But did I make him perform bad? Who knows. For me, I always want to prove myself to be a good fighter. I’ll take that chip [on his shoulder] away each fight but I keep winning and I’ve beaten some very good lads. Hopefully I’ll continue that going forward.”
“Anyone at Stoke to be honest. I just want to fight at home,” he said. “To fight at Stoke City is a dream. Chris Eubank Jnr would be a great dance partner to do that to make sure it’d be a fantastic event. Anyone, though. A British title defense, a fight at Stoke City and then with everything that’s going on in Saudi Arabia or Las Vegas, wherever in the world this can take me, that’s where I wanna go.”
