Quotes
Josh Kelly: "I think I marmalise every single one of them. Absolutely marmalise them. Any of them.
"They just keep dancing about each other, why don't they fight each other?!
"Get in there, get it done and see who is the best."
Kalle Sauerland: "This young man is number one in the world and returns home this weekend.
"He's on a great platform on DAZN and this is the perfect place to promote Josh before those big fights next year.
"I am expecting a full powered Ramirez on Saturday night, a Colombian banger, and his compatriots have a history of causing upsets on these shores. But there will be no upset in Sunderland.
"I see big fights for Josh in 2024. Everyone knows I like a domestic blockbuster and there are a few names circling – Chris Eubank Junior, Conor Benn and I hear that Kell Brook is returning."
Adam Booth: "Ramirez is experienced, he can punch and he comes to win.
"That is the most important point because the bigger the challenge, the more Josh performs.
"I have trained some big punchers over the years and Josh has that element in him. When you have to put your forearm in ice for five minutes after each punching session, because it is throbbing, then you know you are dealing with a big puncher."
Placido Ramirez: "I said 'yes – let's go' because I wanted to take the chance to win this fight.
"I have been punching really, really hard throughout my career and I will keep punching hard on Saturday night."
