“I will do what I always do. We’re all professional boxers trying to achieve world championship status. I’m here now. There were a couple obstacles along the way, but I’ll continue to do what I do and train hard to do well.
Booker said:
"It's time to get it on," Spence said. "He got a pretty good height, but we'll see. We'll break him down like we always do."
“He has the most unique height and reach in the 154 [pound] division ever,” Booker said on a February 25 media conference call
“Of course, I watched those fights,” said Booker, who is 23-1 (11 KOs).
“I was surprised when the call came in,” he said.
“This is a dream come true,” Booker said. “To be able to fight for a world title, it’s just amazing.”
“He has the most unique height and reach ever in the division, so we’re bringing in tall sparring and punching higher on the bag. That’s an awkward motion in boxing, punching that high.
