5. What Are the Fighters Saying?
Gennady Golovkin:
[otw_shortcode_quote border=”bordered” border_style=”bordered”]Kell Brook is a very good boxer and I respect him for taking this fight – he is more than ready. He is an undefeated champion and this will be the biggest fight of my career. He is coming up from welterweight so his speed will be a new test for me. I hope our styles match well to give the fans a present. I want to produce a dramatic show and that is why I have come to London.[/otw_shortcode_quote]
Kell Brook:
[otw_shortcode_quote border=”bordered” border_style=”bordered”]When he feels the power that I have that’s going to be a strong, powerful and quick Middleweight hitting him, not a Welterweight. I’m going to put it all together. Golovkin is like Mike Tyson – people have lost before they even get in there with him. I’m not interested in what he’s going to do; I’m focused on what I need to deliver to win.[/otw_shortcode_quote]
