Joe Calzaghe

It’s my 11th year as world champion and I finally have arrived in America. Bernard was champion for nearly 11 years. I’m tremendously confident for this fight.

Bernard has never been stopped and that’s something that I think I can do.

I have no respect for my elders come this Saturday night.

I want to be the first person to knock him out and to put him into retirement.

I’m going to cut 1000 punches down to 500 or 600 punches and make them more powerful and punish him.

If I bring my A-game against anyone in the world I win. All I have to do is bring my best.

Bernard had to go to prison to be hard. To me that’s a sign of weakness. I don’t have to go to prison to be hard. He’s been to prison, big deal. In the end you’re going to see a grown man cry.

When I walk in the ring I’m going to be the home fighter
