Kerman Lagarraja – Bilbao. 32-2, 25 ko. European super heavyweight champion
“I’m looking forward to boxing in front of me. I’m resting after a week of fighting with armbands. I’m enjoying training. Whatever the outcome on Friday, back to work next week. Flatley is a strong boxer and moving forward, but we’ve trained for a dozen rounds. I know where you come from, I owe a lot to my people and it’s amazing how they cheer me up.”
Jack Flatley – Bolton. 17-1-1, 4 ko. She aspires to the European super-welterweight title
“This is a great opportunity. I haven’t stopped training as a different boxer from my recent losses. This is my job, and may be the time of my life. I’ve seen Karman struggling for his studies, and he’s also a very strong boxer. But we found some weaknesses that we hope to exploit on Friday.” Every great boxer has had to go home to the champion to win, to me that’s an extra motivation that fans cheer for Kerman.”
Damien Biacho – Madrid. 11-0, 2 ko. Spanish super middleweight champion
“I had a good feeling in my last fight. My goal is to keep boxing. Rivero is the competitor who fights well at all three distances. Not defeating both of us is not an added pressure, only those who get into the ring lose.”
Guillermo Rivero – Getxo. 8-0-1, 1 ko. Aspire to the Spanish super middleweight title
“I haven’t fought for nearly three years, but I haven’t stopped training and I hope it doesn’t affect me. I’m focused on fighting. Damien is a great boxer, he’s better than me a priori, I don’t find any weakness because he does everything well. This is boxing and there are a lot of rounds So you never know.”
Jonathan Alonso – ESPA. 20-1, 7 ko
“I will be going back to my previous version after the pandemic. We have prepared well. This fight is a starting point for next year and to be able to look forward to bigger battles. I am excited and ready.”
Mohamed Al Marqoshi – Belgium. 28-2, 11 ko
“I’m here to seize the opportunity. To do my best. He’s a good fighter, but I only had two weeks to prepare for the fight, but I’m here to win.”
Campbell Hutton – UK. 4-0, 0 k
“The last fight was a great lesson, this is professional boxing and I have to learn from every experience because it will make me a stronger boxer. I am an aggressive boxer, I love hitting my body, but I didn’t show intelligence on the ring. I trained to improve my technique. Kiko Martinez’s win was a big surprise. Show To us that the Spanish boxer always gives everything.”
