“This is an absolutely great program to restore Queensberry back to Scotland. For years we had great nights here and it is absolute pleasure to come back. It is fantastic to work with Josh, and what he did in this sport is unmatched, literally, and he is the only guy in Great Britain, so as not to exclude himself in a four-fee era.
“Ekow decided that this is a challenge he wants to take, and he would make a phenomenal effort from him to go to the hometown of Josh and disturb what I am sure that Josh wants to succeed in hefty weight. But Ekow has his own ambitions at the world level, and if he comes here and do business on Joshu, he wants a real statement. world.
“We also have wonderful teenage people also on the site, local guys, and it is pleasure to go back to Glasgow with the couple they raised from the south in Aloys and Moses. I can’t wait for a crack on Saturday.”
Josh Taylor
“It is great to come back here and it was my home since the Games of the Nations Community. I had most of my great fights here, Victor Postol, my first world title against Ivan Baranchyk, so I had most of my great nights here, so I can’t wait to come back. It was some time since I was here, so I was looking for a gigantic program on Saturday.
“Of course, the training was macabre and demanding, demanding work, but I think I am at the Christmas camp this week. Lack of diet, limiting weight or drying today, it will get the last a bit of water.
“I will start this journey again and start again. Take care of business on Saturday, do it in a good way and I can’t wait to go to great fights in the future.
“At 140 pounds, what else was left for me to do? I finished boxing in a sense and won every box in boxing that you can win. What else was for me in terms of challenges, setting novel goals? There was nothing to do.
“I plan to take this guy on Saturday and I will do it.”
Ekow Essuman
“Thank you all in Glasgow for accepting me, everyone was very hospitable and a stunning place. I am just glad that I am here.
“That’s what it is about, we should do it [in response to Taylor’s taking out comment]. I’m not offended, so it is. I am on my way, I’m on his way.
“Of course he believes it, he should. It’s good, if he wants to try to end it early, it can be his damage. We’ll find out on Saturday. I prepared for the best Josh Taylor, so it only confirms what I think will come.
“It doesn’t matter that he is his yard, whether it’s a return to Nottingham or in London. I don’t have many programs where I wrapped in my hometown, how gigantic shows, so I’m accustomed to being a warrior away.
“It’s just the same job, a different place.”
