Shakur Stevenson

“That was a great performance I put on for the city of Newark. Top Rank, you all have to give me better competition I want the IBF and WBO {titles}. I would love to go to England to fight Josh Warrington.”

“I surprised myself today. I was going to the body a lot. I saw him at the weigh-in. He didn’t look like he was in shape.”

“I see me bringing big fights to Newark I see me bringing boxing back to Newark. Brick City, I appreciate you all. Without you, I wouldn’t be who I am.”

“There is only one way to describe tonight – amazing! Seeing all of my family, friends and everybody from the city come out to support was incredible.”

Joshua Greer

“He’s very awkward with the Russian style. But at the end of the day, this is the pros. But at the end of the day, I pulled it out.”

“The booing didn’t bother me. I know I won the fight. Every time I hit him to the body, I hurt him. I didn’t get the knockout, but I got the win. Next time out, you’ll see the pillow again.”

From Potapov promoter Dmitry Salita

“We feel we got robbed, as do boxing fans. ESPN and the media had Nikolai winning. We are going to appeal the decision. ESPN is a great platform for the sport of boxing. We are grateful for the opportunity and what is just. Nikolai won the fight!”
