KLITSCHKO

“I am going to win the fight. I am determined to win this fight. The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds, but I doubt it will go the distance.

“I’m the lightest I’ve ever been but I feel strong and energetic. I feel great! The weight was a result of intensive training with fighters who were all at least one weight class below me.”

IBRAGIMOV

“I feel fantastic. The weight is fantastic, perfect!”
