On recent training camp:

“My training camp was in solid. Since my only loss in my career, I am on a three-fight winning streak, including a win over an undefeated fighter, and after Sunday I will be on a four-fight winning streak. I am ready for big names and big fights. I plan to push myself against the best and this camp showed where I’m at in terms of maturity, and growth in the gym.”

On his upcoming bout:

“I am facing a fighter with nearly twice as many professional fights as myself, so I am fighting against someone with a lot of experience. I am expecting to have to show every aspect of my boxing ability in this fight and am ready for whatever he brings.”

On what this win will do for his career:

“This win should get me in the mix with another up-and-comer or contender. I want to get a world title shot and to do that I have to keep fighting tough opponents. I am looking to put on a great performance and put myself in the position to get a main event fight in the future.”
