Headliners Kerman Lejarraga and Dylan Charrat gave their final quotes ahead of this Saturday's action at the Palau Olímpic Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona, Spain, shown live on DAZN.
Briton Amy Timlin is also involved in a European title fight on the night against reigning super-bantamweight champion, Mary Romero.
Here what the fighters had to say below:
Kerman Lejarraga – Bilbao, Spain – 32-2, 25 KOs
challenging Dylan Charrat for the vacant European Super-Welterweight Title
“I lost my passion for boxing. I needed a change in my life. I decided to change my corner and I have recovered the desire to fight. For me this is a huge challenge to face an undefeated opponent, who has good legs. It is a real motivation for me. This is the most important fight of my career. We have planned to fight twelve rounds, not for an early knockout. Barcelona is my second home so I want a big performance."
Dylan Charrat – Cannes, France – 20-0-1, 6 KOs
challenging Dylan Charrat for the vacant European Super-Welterweight Title
“I have done everything possible to fight. I haven´t been able to box because of the pandemic. This why I am so excited to fight for the belt against a great boxer like Kerman. I want to face big names. I'm not just a technical boxer, I'm ready to take his punch power. On Saturday I will show my skills against a very strong opponent, but I am prepared for a tactical fight. I am very happy to fight on an show like this broadcast worldwide by DAZN."
Mary Romero – Murcia, Spain – 6-2, 1 KO
defending her European Super-Bantamweight Title against Amy Timlin
“The camp has gone well. I have worked so hard to give a good show on Saturday. For me this is a dream be here. Every woman who fights wants to box with Matchroom, because it is the greatest promoter. I hope to do very well and they call me again. Once we are in the ring we will see what dangers my rival brings. I'm not going to give her my European Title."
Amy Timlin – Southam, England – 4-0-1
challenging Mary Romero for the European Super-Bantamweight Title
“I have trained very well, especially during these last two weeks. It is a great opportunity. You will see the best version of me on Saturday night. I am prepared for everything Mary bring to the table, I have studied her closely."
Kiko Martínez – Alicante, Spain – 41-10-2, 29 KOs
fighting Jayro Duran in an eight round Featherweight contest
“I`m well prepared, as always, because I train hard everyday. When I get into a fight I am excited, I am only excited about my daughters in this life, and boxing. I have constantly had many ups and downs in my career and that has taught me to be patient. I've had to train a lot outside my house, working very hard on my own. When something bad happens to me I look for all the positives from that situation. I want to focus on Saturday. I have to fulfill my commitment on Saturday if I want to fight Zelfa Barrett again. I know that after this fight, great things are going to come for me again."
Cristóbal Lorente – Barcelona, Spain – 12-0-1, 5 KOs
fighting Anuar Salas in an eight round Super-Featherweight contest
“It is an honour to be fighting on this show with so many other talented boxers. Mentally I am more than ready to achieve great things. I think I will be able to keep my rival at the distance that suits me. I trained hard, I was preparing with Sandor Martín."
