Final press conference quotes

Eddie Hearn, President of the Sports match:

“A huge boxing night in a wonderful cooperative lives here in Manchester on Saturday-live on Dazn around the world. For me, one of the best fights in the world at 140 pounds. This is the fleeting title of the WBO world weight of world weight between England Jacek Cattell and America Arnold Barboza. Jack Cattell, a man who should be undisputed. A man who passed through Jorge Linares, Josh Taylor, Regis Prograis, and now this man is waiting for Arnold Barboza, who was sitting for a long time at the top of the peat order. One of the best charges of Golden Boy. Straight from a fantastic victory over Ramirez in Saudi Arabia. Ready to put himself in a golden position for huge fights in the division. “

Jack Cattell:
“What a card we got on Saturday evening, three other boys from my fighting gym, great live fights, but during my fight it is a great chance for me on Saturday.

“I think that we both have confidence in the preparations we had, I do not want straightforward fights, Arnold was in a position that I was waiting for this opportunity and I do not think that you can sit down now as the box is off the beaten track, you have to risk. I have a good rush, I feel better with every camp, this camp was great, we improved it from the last time and I believe that I am a better warrior and I pull him out on Saturday.

“I was very energetic and confidence comes from the time spent in the gym and all challenging work and the time has come to relax, recover and do. I was getting better thanks to the rush and activity and hence confidence.

“I am in a great division weighing 140 pounds with many huge warriors, but nothing matters until after Saturday evening I have to remain focused on Arnold. Considering this, we understand business, there are so many great fights. Teofimo Lopez has the title of WBO, I hope it is a fight you can do, but I have to beat it and beat it well on Saturday.

“This is the last obstacle on Saturday, it’s a great fight, it’s a high risk, high prizes, as he said, I am ready and we bring this belt to Charley and Sunday morning.”

Arnold Barboza JR:
“We had another offer to fight the main event at home, but I just want to fight best. I think Jack is a really good warrior at the top of the division and I think we are the best, I don’t think the masters are better than us, to be truthful. We are always ready for challenges, we are ready to work.

“I believe that I am the best in the division, I do not think that anyone can fuck me. I am simply confident, at the end of the day we can do everything he says, I know that he is not a garbage speaker and I am not a garbage speaker, Saturday will determine everything and all this.

“I watched many fights in which people went to the territory of the enemy, and they are booed – I hope it is sold out and I hope that I will be booed, it will simply raise me. I am excited and this dream, a great fight against high risk and a high reward, no more of these low risks, low prizes, I am excited that I can get there and dance with him.

“I really believe I keep him. The way in which the camp went, we areolated with a height of 8000 feet, running in the snow, everything we did and the way I felt in sparring, and my sparring can confirm, I feel stronger and better than ever. He comes with everything, I go with everything, so let’s go.

“This fight means everything for me. There are fans in Great Britain, expect a great fight and an stimulating fight and I hope that I will bring some of these fans with me. “

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
