Here’s what the fighters had to say on Wednesday from the world’s famed Gleason gym in Brooklyn:
Gervonta Davis
“The atmosphere in Barclays is always amazing. I won my first championship here and I am simply excited that I can come back here to get a great performance.
“The training in DC was great. It was entertaining. He restored the amateur style.
“Certainly Roach is on a naughty awakening. He tries to get up, but it comes down to skills. Whoever is the most qualified warrior will be a winner.
“Knocking someone seems like running at home when he hits the sweet place of the bat and goes far. That’s how I feel for me.
“I want to stay more in the ring this year, I hope with three fights. Roach is the most significant, and then we solve it for the rest of the road.
“You’ll see fireworks. I am pointed, quick and explosive. Lamont is also pointed. It will be Banger, and fans will be real winners on Saturday evening. “
Lamont Roach
“The rate is higher, but I just want tough, that’s all. I trained to be in the best physical and mental shape in which I can be.
“Since I started as a professional. Undercard (Bernard) Hopkins, Canelo (Alvarez) … and the list is long. I am not alien to this and it does not affect me at all.
“At the end of the day there is mutual respect. But if he intends to a troll, I’m going to troll.
“It’s all for me, and becoming a champion of two divisions would be a dream come true for me.”
José Valenzuela
“It’s a lovely feeling here to be here in Modern York with these lovely fans. I am ready to defend my title on March 1.
“I have a large task ahead of me on Saturday evening. I can’t miss him and I respect him. We both come to the fight.
“I have many things that are not in my arsenal, like bodies. Winning this belt only motivated me to become stronger, faster and smarter at 140 pounds.
“My trainer gave me great confidence and will simply click. This shows how I performed with the last few fights.
“We are two great warriors who are ready for a great fight and steal the program on Saturday evening.”
Gary Antuanne Russell
“I can’t give you juice, but I know what I am capable of and I am ready to remove the gloss from the main event. Wait for further information.
“Each opponent is different and forces you to employ different tools. The main lesson that I took from my last fight was that listening is significant because you must be adaptable and versatile. Lesson pulled out.
“There is nothing recent that we have not seen. If we make a game plan, we win.
“It seems to me that Valenzuela is only trying to pump. I don’t care what he says. Keep the same energy. “
Alberto Puello
“The fight here in Modern York before the great crowd, which many Dominicans will have in it, is really a gift from God who motivates me a lot.
“I don’t care if I’m talking about it, people know who I am, and I will continue to prove that I am one of the best aged 140.
“Being a world champion and I could regain what was mine at the beginning is a dream come true. Few people can achieve this.
“If Martin wants to knock me out, he makes a large mistake. I don’t think he has strength or tools for me and knows about it.
“I would like to unite after this fight. I don’t mean anyone specific, I just want to face every master. “
Sandor Martín
“I will come there, looking for a knockout, ready for some exchanges and a real war in which fans are the real winners of the night.
“The fight Teofimo (Lopez) did not really leave any lasting lessons for me. It just showed me that I should not leave the result of the decision in the hands of the judges.
“Many people considered me the winner of this fight, but now Modern York gives me another opportunity to fight for the title of world champion.
“The 140-Funt division is arranged with large names, such as Valenzuela, Russell and (Isaac) Pitbull Cruz. I am here for great fights. “
Yoenis Téllez
“I don’t feel additional pressure. I know that this is a great opportunity that I waited for my whole career. I would like to thank my team and Luis Decubas Jr. for giving me such a great chance.
“I think Williams may be the most arduous opponent of my career, wanting to regain what he lost. But Yoenis Téllez is coming, willing to take over the world. “
Julian Williams
“Yoenis is a good warrior. I studied some tape from him. Hungry and can hit, so they say. I am excited.
“Adrenaline rush and the rates are higher here. There is definitely a difference between the C+ fight and C- and world-class pretenders with a warrior like me.
“Victory would be a dream come true. Recovering everything I lost in 36 minutes. This is the goal. “

Kell Brook Evaluates Conor Benns Chances Against Ryan Garcia for World Title Fight

Former IBF welterweight world champion, Kell Brookhas previously called for a domestic dust-up with Conor Benn. Now, ‘Special K’ has predicted how Benn will fare in his first world title challenge, against WBC titleholder, Ryan Garcia.
Benn and Brook were linked to a bout in May 2023, when the pair were pulled apart in a ringside confrontation in Dublinbut the fight never materialised, partly due to the fact that Benn had relinquished his BBBofC license following his infamous failed drugs test.
Instead, Benn twice fought stateside as a super-welterweight and then twice boxed fierce rival Chris Eubank J as a middleweight, before announcing plans to return to the welterweight division and challenge for world honours.
On his way back down to 147lbs, Benn entered the ring against Regis Prograis earlier this year in a 150lb catchweight contest and underwhelmed, but still he has landed his title shot, with a fight against Garcia now formally confirmed.
Speaking on the Fight Your Corner PodcastKell Brook looked ahead to the fight and admitted that whilst he gives Benn ‘a good chance’, he feels as though the power of Garcia means that a win for the Californian is more likely.
“I give him [Benn] a good chance, but I do lean towards Garcia winning the fight, I do. In his last fight he boxed well but in the fight before, he didn’t box so good. I just think that he will rise to the occasion, they are champions and I think that we are going to see the best of both of ‘em.
“I just think that Garcia has got that get-out-of-jail card. When I boxed Shawn Porter, I went to Vegas to finish some sparring off and I was some sparring with some good kids. I put it onto this kid and had a really good spar, I was punching hard.
“We had something to eat after and I said, who is the biggest puncher you’ve been to, don’t forget I’m a lot older than Garcia, and he said, ‘I have never been hit as hard as by Ryan Garcia,’. That punch power that he has got, that snap [is impressive].”
Garcia-Benn takes place on Saturday, September 12, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with undefeated cruiserweight Jai Opetaia expected to appear on the undercard.

Tyson Fury Raises Doubts on Potential Anthony Joshua Fight: I Can Never See Him Taking That

Tyson Fury has raised serious concerns over his proposed showdown with Anthony Joshua.
After over a decade of build-up, Fury and Joshua finally look set to meet later this year, provided that both men can first come through their respective warm-up bouts this weekend.
Fury takes on Mariusz Wach in Thailand on Friday, before Joshua then meets Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia 24 hours laterseemingly paving the way for the all-British showdown at the end of 2026.
‘The Gypsy King’ still doesn’t seem convinced that it will happen though, as he shared his doubts whilst speaking to IFL TV.
“Until that fight happens and we’re walking to the ring, I’m not convinced it does. 100% [I’m doubtful].
I can never see that stiff sitting on a table with me ever. What the f**k is he going to say? I can never see him at a press conference with me, it would be a bombardment. I can never see him taking that.
“He wouldn’t even get in the ring [after the Makhmudov fight]. He s**t himself and sat on a stool outside and didn’t even want to get up and build the fight and make the fight happen when Turki said to us both ‘come on boys let’s do it get in the ring and make it happen.’
“He didn’t want to do it, so how is he going to come face to face with me at a press conference? I think he’s a bottle job, a flapper, a chinless wonder as well.”
Despite Fury’s fears, all signs still point towards the fight taking place later this year, though there still remains a debate over where it will be held.

Two Brits Set for World Title Showdown as Dmitry Bivol Primed to Vacate WBO Belt
Published

Dmitry Bivol looked as if he was ready to move on from a trilogy fight with Artur Beterbiev, but it now seems as though the unified light-heavyweight world champion is ready to run it back with his rival, thus opening the door for two Brits to compete for one of his belts.
Bivol claimed the undisputed light-heavyweight crown in February 2025 when he avenged his defeat to Beterbiev with a majority-decision win, but he soon relinquished the WBC marble – which was then handed to David Benavidez.
After 15 months of inactivity, Bivol returned to action in May to fulfil his IBF mandatory and shake off some ring rust against Germany’s Michael Eifertbut it was then believed that Bivol would proceed with his WBO mandatory and next face Liverpool’s Callum Smith, much to the frustration of Beterbiev.
Yet, in an interview with Ring MagazineBivol’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has revealed that the 35-year-old is instead keen for a third fight with the Russian-Canadian. Therefore, he expects Bivol to vacate the WBO world title in order to make it happen, with Smith likely to rematch Joshua Buatsi for the vacant belt.
“I think it’s unlikely he will defend against Smith. I think Smith will fight Joshua Buatsi for the vacant title. But Dmitry is ready to make the Beterbiev fight.”
Smith decisioned Buatsi on the Beterbiev-Bivol II undercard in a Fight of the Year contender and Smith is yet to fight since, whilst Buatsi was seen as fortunate by some to get the decision when he returned and fought Zach Parker in November.
Smith and Buatsi could be set to top the bill of the second ‘Matchroom vs Queensberry’ event, which will likely take place in November.
