ENGLISH star Chris Eubank Jr and quality Russian contender Matt Korobov meet for the interim WBA middleweight title at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn this weekend.
โIโm really happy with how my training camp was. I had no injuries and everything was very smooth. Training camp definitely went to plan so that we can get this win on Saturday night.
โIโm excited to be back in Brooklyn one year later after I fought Jermall Charlo at Barclays Center. Thereโs definitely some de ja vu for me. Itโs the same gym and the same time and same people I saw last year. Iโm really happy about it and focusing on being able to show my best on Saturday night.
โThe Charlo fight put me on another level as a fighter. Theyโre all going to have to start looking at me as one of the best in the division. Iโm excited to take advantage of my opportunity Saturday and get another big fight.
โItโs Eubankโs problem if heโs focused on getting the Jermall Charlo fight. Iโm just focused on doing my job and doing my best. Iโm very confident for this fight.
โIt makes sense to me that Iโd fight Charlo next if I win. Iโm definitely hoping to get that fight in 2020 but first I have to take care of Eubank.
โWeโll see what Eubank can do Saturday night. Itโs hard to say what heโll fight like until then. Itโs boxing. Any of us could have a bad night or the night of our life.
โEubank looked very good when he beat James DeGale. It surprised a lot of people but I know that heโs a strong fighter. I wasnโt that surprised. DeGale might not have been ready, but Iโm always 100 percent prepared.โ
