Quotes
Lenier Pero: “You know when you come into these fights how ready you need to be, and I feel like I’m very much in the best physical and mental shape I can be in. I think you know from the fights I’ve been in that I am a great warrior.
“I want to welcome my opponent, Jordan Thompson, but also say that this is not Cruiserweight, and you’ll see that on Saturday night.
“The reason I believe I can win this fight is that I’ve prepared really well and I am completely ready for this. I also want to show what I am made of and I believe I can show that.”
Jordan Thompson: “I’m grateful to be back and on this stage, and blessed to keep getting opportunities with you guys. It’s the sport of boxing, this is my trap, take risks and prosper. Nothing worth having comes easy, it’s all about going out and taking the risks, and I’m confident in myself in going out there and doing what I have to do.
“Cruiserweight was a tough ask, but we’ve made the move up and we’re taking another risk, another roll of the dice, but it’s a calculated one and a roll that I see myself winning. My team are confident in me, I’m confident in my team. I can’t wait to get out there, I want to have fun and express myself, and emerge victorious.
“This isn’t a sport where you take silly risks and roll the dice with hope. There’s no hope involved, this is calculated, it’s self-belief, and we’re going to come up something and this is the thing in this fight, to go out there and believe in myself, express myself.”
