Let’s see what my guests say though as we go inside the kingdom Arena look who look who I’ve got look who I’ve been able to get couple of former world champions stop it stop it Darren Barker Sergio Mora if you has worked with each other before is this like a first
Meeting I’ll be a couple first time I’m a big fan no we never work with each other not that I know of never work never sport never fought but I admire this man likewise look at that look at that look at that Fighters respect da Darren Barker the Latin snake Sergio
Mora I’ve been saying this one of the best fight cards in years some said ad they calm down honest takes honest takes 100% how can you not say that the magnitude of the whole thing the heavyweights the names that are on the card we’ve mentioned it before opper
Tire biva way down the card it exceptional card yeah obviously Sergio you grew up watching some of the great Dong King put on some incredible cards right no not only the heavyweights but Don King used to do it with Terry Norris and a bunch of the junior middleweights
So yeah this is go going back to the 80s and 90s the hey day we get the names maybe not fighting each other but you’re still watching the biggest names and the winner can fight each other afterwards I mean it’s a great setup it really is a
Fantastic setup best fight on the night obviously look we don’t know how it’s going to work out you know sometimes it’s the ones you don’t expect that deliver but in terms of just names on paper which one do you expect to deliver I look I like Wilder Parker I like what
I’ve heard seen from Parker he really really fancies this um and then obviously the D you can’t have two you can’t have two you only have one you can only have one I got to I got to agree I mean uh Champions think I like because I
Think uh here we go separating yourself because this is the thing Deontay Wilder is uh you know in his late 30s and he’s fighting a former champion in Joseph Parker in his early 30s this Joseph Parker who knows how to fight and is austo to fighting big men like really
Big men and Deontay Wilder has sometimes issues tracking smaller men that Parker could take a punch he knows how to fight small I mean this is going to be a difficult fight for him and the fact that he’s motivated with Andy Lee he’s been training with Tyson Fury motivation
Sometimes does it all he has experience the motivation and he has a style I mean this this could be a potential setup sold sold take my money M look we got a fantastic Fight Card uh this Saturday here’s a quick reminder of what you can expect live on theone pay-per-view December

Our sport is going um I’m taking it all in it’s been a pleasure since I’ve been here it’s it’s been hard work to get here and I just can’t wait for Saturday night man cuz I finally get to fight and what do you think of Frank Sanchez I
Mean look he’s a he’s an unbeaten Cuban not a lot of people like to fight unbeaten Cuban heavyweights who are pretty good but you’re taking him on yeah I mean like you know I’m not kidding myself this guy’s a good good boxer he’s got good skills
I trust my team I trust my game plan I trust myself I trust that I’m going to get there on the night I’m going to pick at the right time I’m going to bring the best version of myself and get him out of there get him out of there well when
By any means necessary I think you sort of half predict a KO there Mr Junior far listen also also on this show you have G patire you have Joseph Parker three Polynesian uh guys it must be quite a proud moment for for you guys oh yeah it’s such a
It’s such a proud moment and it’s it’s awesome to think of the future Generations that are watching guys like us and watching people who um who the kids back home they uh they see they are seeing people that look like them perform on such a big stage it’s such a
Great honor and if we can do it they can definitely do it better than us so you know huge huge things going to come from our side of the world that’s amazing listen final one Junior you’ve been uh not for the first time you’ve been in
Camp with Deontay Wilder uh how has that been and how has that helped you prepare for this fight yeah Deontay Wilder no secret with him you know the man hits hard and you have to be sharp every second that you’re in there with him and that’s exactly what I’m planning to do
When I’m in there with Frank Sanchez I I I need to be sharp every second that I’m in there with him um keep my whats about me stick of the game plan and Come Away with the win all right thank you very much Junior far let’s bring in his
Opponent unbeaten Frank Sanchez who has a translator with him as well uh Frank Sanchez great to see you tell us how you’re feeling heading into this I saw you out for a battle of the baddest for Fury and garu you look like you enjoyed it and now you get your chance on this
Stage tell us how you feel He’s really enjoyed his time here to him is an honor to be here and fighting such a major card he felt nothing but great people here and uh you know he’s just excited to be here and get this fighte going you know he just wants to thank everybody this from ball making this
Happen and Frank tell us what you think of your opponent here junior far he’s seen Taves junr far he’s he’s a good fighter you know he’s uh he’s he’s very good fighter but he’s very well prepared Frank he’s coming here you know to shine and to show the whole world who
He is so you know other than that you know he’s in great shape ready to go and do you plan to knock him out on Saturday he’s coming here you know to win number one uh The Knockout comes it comes he never looks for it it comes by itself he
Doesn’t you know try to look for a knockout but if it comes it comes and he’s coming here to win thank you very much Frank Sanchez two brilliant heavyweights very much coming to win and let’s continue in the heavyweight division a fight that has so much on the
Line the ibf mandatory Challenger Philip hergovich putting his status on the line against the hard-hitting Australian Mark deori now this fight we’ve got Keith Connelly who’s with us as well who I’m actually going to come come to first uh Keith you’ve been with Philip hergovich for a little
While now it feels like he’s taking on all the risk in this fight on Saturday night talk to us about it well anytime you have a fight like this on a big event there’s risk but with risk comes big reward I expect Philip Saturday to put on a tremendous
Performance and to stamp his Mark as far as as being one of the best heavyweights in the division going into his title shot next and what is your ideal kind of next couple of fights for Philip hergovich you talk about how he’s in that position how do you see the the
Chips falling how do you see this playing out I think the most likely scenario is after a tremendous Victory on Saturday a big knockout win uh the winner of the usyk Tyson Fury fight is mandated to fight Philip I would think they’ll probably vacate the title and then it’ll go down
To the next person and the ratings that’s available it doesn’t really matter who it’s going to be my guy is going to come out on top in a few months and be the next heavyweight champion in the world okay well let’s bring in the man who’s looking to destroy all of
Those plans uh Mark deori you have the task in front of you of Philip hergovich at the launch press conference you talked about how you you’re looking to rupture spleens when you get in there you were pretty graphic with what you said tell us what’s on your mind heading
Into this fight just hours away now peric is obviously a big favorite he’s a big strong guy good long punches good chin every man is human Every Man Has organs with my kind of power of course it’s simple I’m not going to win this on points I’m going to start in
Fourth gear the pressure is on him he’s overlooking me I’d Overlook me if I was him too I’m going to try and break him in half and live by the sword Die By The Sword well I heard that you’ve been breaking ribs and dropping people with body shots ins sparing it sounds like
You are very much ready for this yeah I’ve prepared well pressure’s on him I have zero pressure I’m I’m not going to say I enjoy fight week but I’m prepared the short Camp probably worked in my favor I didn’t have a chance to overtrain or overstress or get sick
Because I overdid it the short c means I’m strong I’m explosive and it’s a 10 round scheduled fight I have absolutely no desire to go 10 Rounds I’ve got arms of a Tyrannosaurus Rex I’m not going to out jab him I’m going to get him close
And I’m going to try and break him in half and that’s the only way it’s going to happen and that’s the way I’m going to try well listen Mark he’s got 13 Knockouts from his 16 wins can you afford to go toet to Toe with Philip hergovich
It’s the only chance I have I’m not here to go rounds I’m not here to do my best I’m here to try and break him in half and if I can’t and he knocks me out good luck to him and his career Croatia’s got a very good fighter in Philip hergovich
I lived in Croatia 10 years I know their style I know how technical they are I’m very well aware what I’m up against but I’m hard to read I’ve got a strange style and in those first few rounds before he finds his timing that’s when I
Have a chance well let’s bring in Philip hergovich uh Phillip it sounds like you have an opponent here who is very much going to stick it on you from the opening bell how does that sound to you let’s get down let’s get down to business uh look I had plan with this
Guy to let him box few rounds but because of this nasty words I need I will need to punish him earlier and he has some Croatian roots and I had planned to be nice with him but this change everything man I’ll need to punish this guy really really
Bad like like he stole something so that’s the plan uh I would like to say thanks to everyone involved in this event thanks to Saudi Arabia to the prince to his Excellency to all promoters I’m glad to be part of this and grateful for this opportunity and uh with God God help I’m
Going for the win on Saturday and looking forward to a lot of big fights in front of me let me just give Mark deor the opportunity to to respond there I mean he’s talked about how your words essentially are going to lead to more of a beating on Saturday night that that is
The vibe we’re getting from Philip hergovich Mark is there anything you want to look down the table and tell philli I expect him to try and make a big statement that’s what he’s here to do I’ve been brought in there’s a script it’s it’s completely up to me to try and
Flip it he should be trying to knock me out he should be trying to hurt me it’s not the soccer World Cup this is a fight with Gladiators and we shake hands and we go for it it’s personal now Savage words from Philip hergovich um philli look before I uh before I move
On I just want to ask you one thing you have that ibf mandatory position if you come through on Saturday night who do you think you will fight for a world title I think anyone who I’m going to fight I will beat I don’t know there’s many different
Scenarios I should fight winner of Fury USIC fight but they have a chance to Wade the title and there’s a plenty of options uh so I don’t really know but whoever is going to be and going to win the title next year with God help become a first Croatian world champion in the
History and my career is beginning next year well before we move on let me just bring in Frank Warren here Frank we’ve just uh I think that’s wet the appetite a little bit there mark deori and Philip hergovich Philip’s in a position where look he could have some big big nights
Ahead of him give us your thoughts well the WN like I say the winner of any of these fights tonight whoever wins on Saturday whoever wins these fights are going to be in in in the mix for these for the big title fights you know uh the
Winner of this fight will be the ibf mandatory and it’ll be interesting to see what happens after the big fight on the 17th of February between Tyson and usyk we will then see what what what develops after that but one thing’s for sure all the fights including the fight
Between Mark and they all of them are meaningful fights they all mean something it means for the winner a a chance to really go on and be involved in some real big dramatic fights here in the Kingdom well the next fight we’re going to discuss thank you Frank thank
You Phillip thank you Mark the next fight that we will discuss is a fight that certainly means something to unbeaten cruiserweights put it all on the line the Ring magazine uh Cruiserweight Champion widely seen as the best in the division GI otire he’s unbeaten he takes on another unbeaten
Cruiserweight Ellis Sor from London uh this fight is brought to you in association with matchroom boxing and Tasman Fighters and at this point I’ll bring in Mick Francis from tasmin Fighters uh Mick you’ve you’ve been with our man here G patire throughout his career you’ve guided him to where he is
It feels like he’s got some huge Knights ahead of him yeah absolutely firstly I’d like to say thank you for the for the uh the government of Saudi Arabia and all the promoters putting this show on um it’s something that joy and and Aussie boxing needs um
Look Joy’s Joy’s um Joy’s been looking for this opportunity for the the last couple of years and um we appreciate the the opportunity to fight on the card and is do you feel as though this is the first of a few fights for for G pyre here is that the plan oh yeah
That’s definitely the plan so um you know we got this fight and there’s another fight probably in March so Joy be on that as well and hopefully hopefully bring in a major fight back here thank you very much Mick let’s bring in Frank Warren here of course
Ellis Sor is is your man you’ve delivered really the ultimate opportunity here if you are a cruiserweight he’s got a shot at the top dog he certainly has you know Ellis is undefeated he’s managed by Martin B and trained by him he’s a he’s a very dangerous fighter he’s a
Big puncher has been see certainly in his last fight as well the power that he has this is he’s not coming to make up the numbers I can assure you this is a massive opportunity for him and which anybody who takes fights as a foregone conclusion are easy and will be easy are
Wrong it doesn’t always work out like that there will be upsets on this card eight fights on the card there will be upsets there’s no doubt about that and Ellis is all there the opportunity is there for him to go and try and seize it with both hands he has a
Fantastic you know you couldn’t get any better than that he has a fantastic opportunity to fight a very very good operator in J Who’s uh you know a lot of people think very highly of him and quite rightly so but let me tell you he
Will come to fight our man and he will give you a great a great fight no doubt about I’m not [Laughter] fine well let’s bring in Ellis Soro here Ellis at the end of your last fight it was at yor call 13 of your 17 fights
Have been at yor call the iconic venue in East End London but you did say look I want to get out of your call Welcome to Riad welcome to the biggest stage of them all what’s on your mind yeah I got my wish um when I said that I was
Anticipating maybe copper box or the O2 and then the phone call came for Saudi so um no I’m just focused on Saturday at the moment obviously like I’ve been saying all week it’s a massive opportunity for me I’m going to take it both hands everything seems to move
Quite quickly in your career it was it was three amateur fights I believe and then suddenly you’re a pro uh suddenly you’re in that boxer tournament suddenly you’ve got a title suddenly you’re headlining now suddenly you out of nowhere you’re challenging the main guy in the division but you’ve always kept
Calm that demeanor that mentality how key is all of that in your success um I don’t really know this is just how I’ve always been um just calm and collected um I think that’s just from my life outside the ring and and my journey but um yeah I’m just I just keep
My call and and focus on a task ahead and that’s it really you you told me before that g PTI wasn’t really on your radar actually you were going like the WBO route if anything you were going towards the WBO Champion but he’s got to
Be on your radar now he sat just down the table there what does your radar tell you about Jo otire he’s a great Fighter um you know like I said he wasn’t on my radar was a fan of him fan of his star when I watched him against
Breeders um he’s got great footwork great hand speed um he’s game he can take a shot he’s a great fighter but um he’ll definitely be able to test me and I kind of look forward to that to be honest what’s your main advantage on Saturday o
Um I just think my w to win obviously he’s going to have the same thing as well but like that’s kind of where my belief is like my will to win and my self belief on myself and my scores well let’s bring in the Ring magazine Cruiserweight Champion Jo otire Jo for
You it’s been an eventful week there’s been a lot of going on you’ve had situations political I guess situations in boxing as can happen but you’ve kept really really focused every time I’ve seen you talk you’ve had that same mentality has it been ult keeping your
Mind on this fight on Saturday uh not at all you know I’m pumped I’m pumped to be here I feel like this is a massive thing for boxing in itself you know shout out to your Excellency for being the man we need for these fights to happen you know
Putting the politics aside and the best fight the best you know this is a massive change and the name otire will have its print on it you know what I mean and I’m here to make a statement well tell me this with with Ellis Sor here you talk about how you respect him
There’s no doubt that you respect him you’ve talked about how actually you see him as the guy that you were he’s in your position tell us a little bit more about that definitely I I see him you know this is his chance this is his chance to become a world champion you
Know you want to be the best you got to beat the best and here I am so I’m expecting the best version of him I’ve prepared for the best version of him man I’m I’m ready to go to war I think you’ve only faced off once with
Ellis what sort of energy are you getting from him yeah he’s a pretty calm dude you know but who cares what energy he’s given off I’m worried about my own energy my own Camp you know everything I got to do it doesn’t matter what he’s given off and you said at the launch
Press conference that you wanted to remind the world who the cruiserweight King is does that mean it needs to be a devastating knockout to tell the world who you are it doesn’t have to be a knockout it’s just got to be a great performance you know a great display of
Boxing skills I believe this is just another step closer to becoming the Undisputed Cruiserweight King and I cannot wait for the next step one final one before I let you go Jo I’ve heard you talk about moving up to heavyweight at one day you’ve been around a lot of
Heavyweights today in the buildup to all of this how do they shape up to you and do you think you can hang in the heavyweight Division I know I can hang in the heavyweight division but right now I’ve got you know my own goals I’ve
Got a lot to lot of boxers to tick as a Cruiserweight and until they’re ticked then we we’ll worry about that later thank you very much Jo PTI can’t wait for that fight two unbeaten cruiserweight Slug It Out on Saturday night someone’s o has got to go well

Watch him now I’m going to be totally honest with you I’ve been hearing the name but finally I’ve been studying him the last couple of weeks this guy is incredible a mix of uh Dimitri bivo and usk I mean he has the power the footwork the speed the IQ very special fighter
I’m curious I’m really excited to see him tonight here we are the face offs this is what I like this is scrap the whole press conference just do face off for me Frank Sanchez Junior for obviously Frank Sanchez unbeaten Cuban not great last time out but I think one
Of the most avoided heavyweights I think and potentially one of the best very very good on the front foot on the back foot ra a sharp reflexes Junior far has to bring his absolute best if he’s got any chance Saturday night is it fair to say that Sergio one of the avoided heavy
Weights almost a bit like lisis Ortiz coming up didn’t really get the opportunity until he fought Deontay Wilder Frank Sanchez searching for that as well uh you can say no Sergio You can disagree it’s okay I yeah avoid it as a strong word avoid it as a strong right big boy here Philip
Hergovich um now look I think we need to see better Philip herovic than we have seen in his last couple of outings and we should see it against Mark deore I me he he has to get the job done inside four rounds in my opinion you know a
Couple of contentious fights didn’t look great against mcken certainly didn’t look good against Zang he has to look good on this card against theori who look pressures off he needs to just go in there get on the chest of hovic which is easier said than done and try and
Shock the world yeah number one ranked by the ibf is Philip hergovich obviously he once he’s crack at the winner of Fury usyk I don’t know if he’ll get that but surely it’s a big big fight for hergovich next year has to be yeah yeah for sure has to be a a big
Well title I don’t think he’ll settle for anything less had yeah indeed all right here we go jaaya um former IVF cruiserweight champion ring Champion against Ellis Zoro I mean that that’s a guy there that’s that’s scary isn’t it that is scary jyre uro unbeaten though he coming in
Into this with some confidence had a fight in October we asked him yesterday about the fight Gap the turnaround not a long time to prepare for J payre it’s going to be hard but with big risk come big rewards man he’s serious seriously good fighter is off the tire so impressed
With him against Jordan Thompson but elisor like what I’m hearing he’s confident he’s unfaced but the task in front of him is huge yeah it is a big one and I mean this just goes to show just how stacked this card is where this is the first portion of the press
Conference and J Paya is in this bit you know I mean he’s not in the second portion he’s in this portion and then you have I think the biggest heavyweight on the card Arsenal mmud I mean look here sorry I mean that’s a scary man right there that is one scary man I’ve
Said it’s the wrong nickname he should be called The Lion he should be called the monster he should be called The Monster who takes on though European Champion or former European Champion now AIT cabal that there is a very very good scrap that I feel like it’s going under
The radar with this car two unbeaten guys looking to take that next step to genuine World level all right so that concludes what is the first part of the press conference we are going to see the big boys we are going to see Demetri bble in
A few minutes as well is is is this Dev oh know this is I thought Dev was interrupting me there now but we are going to come back to the second portion of the press conference in a few moments obviously their Reckoning concludes what is an incredible year for the Zone in
2023 we start 2024 with an absolute Banger this kid they think is going to be Sensational the real deal the Natural Born puncher a young star but legitimate Contender or knockout Express big too strong too good picks up another victim his 19th knockout and his 19th win yeah an incredible fight that one virginal has got up to 154 takes on the garer and Fredick Lawson let’s not forget as well I mean I think this is a
Really good fight Mia versus John Ryder in the month of January Edgar Banger as well in action not a bad January yeah I love I love the John Ryder fight m fight let me tell you now John Ryder isn’t going in that fight to make up the
Numbers he he’s coming off of a a loss to Canelo but so much confidence he’s taken away from it he now wants to push on he look like I say he’s not making up numbers here he wants to be a world champion no not only that but you got to
Remember the mongia is coming off a very taxing physical fight with derenko so add the fact that this is a a fighter with over almost 50 fights you know and he’s going against a fighter that knows how to fight big men in John Ryder with Callum Smith with Canelo some of the
Biggest strongest Fighters so I think it’s going to be an excellent fight I can’t wait for that fight very quick one about vergal obviously got up to 154b now Virgil obviously he’s had this illness outside the ring and I think could have been one of the best fighters
At 147 we wanted that fight for boots we didn’t get it would you make a Virgil G up to 154 you know he’s been struggling making this weight with uh 147 lbs he’s a growing kid I mean he’s been battling the sickness this rabdom myosis that
That affects well done I said illness I knew I couldn’t pronounce it you went well done when protein Gets In The Blood with losing weight I don’t know what it’s about I I studied the the I try to study the medical facts about it sounds like very dangerous when protein goes
Into your bloodstream so anyway I think it was something that he had to move up physically he just couldn’t make the weight anymore he was always struggling in weight he’s a power punching machine I mean he has 100% knockout ratio he’s going to take that power up he has wide
Shoulders he has the height to distribute that weight and that muscle he’s going to be just fine he certainly is going to be just fine all right look we’ve got the second portion of the press conference do this getting the stage ready behind us all the names are
Getting put down should we talk about what we’ve got coming up Demitri bivel on that one as well against lynon ala again it’s exciting to see Demitri B back in Action I’m excited to see him back in Action he’s going to be just fine after a year or so layoff because
He has one of the best Jabs in boxing some of the best footwork in boxing so he’s going to be just fine going around the circle getting the cow webs out filling out his opponent he knows what he has in front of him I mean this is a
Fighter that you know for the last what eight fights he’s gone to distance since he hasn’t got a knockout since 2018 so he’s accustomed to going the long road getting that jab and filling it out he’s going to be just fine yeah Lindon ARA just a one defeat that was the Anthony
Yard but obviously he’s been fighting at a much lower level but you get the opportunity is a very big light heavyweight and you’re talking of jab Linden ARA’s got a very good jab as well look we know exactly what bival does very good fighter let’s touch on Lindon
ARA good mover he’s patient lovely jab doesn’t waste much uh doesn’t get greedy with his shots and you can’t afford to do that with someone like bival because if you if he makes you miss which he does very well he’ll make you pay the way he comes back with the right hand
It’s it’s an intriguing fight I think we’ll find out how good Lindon ARA is we know how good bivel is I still think we can see another level to bival which is frightening but let’s find out how good Lyon AR is certainly is that’s the only non heavyweight fight on that portion of
The card the big boys are in action Daniel D versus a very very big boy 325 lb of big jell Miller and again I guess the question Mark and we spoke about this at the top Sergio we have no idea what J Miller we’re going to see is
It going to be the Jal Miller before his PD suspension or this version of jell Miller we’ve been seeing now um you know what just like every other fighter uh you know when you get popped once you get popped twice even in another sport you get popped in kickboxing this is a
Man that has gotten accustomed to to being on on performance enhan enhancing drugs I’m curious to see how he’s going to perform when he’s not we see how his body is he doesn’t look the the best in shape uh you know this is a fight I need to
See more of you know the the question here I think is is this a good time or a bad time to fight this man here Daniel DUIs who put in a good performance against usek and I feel from what I’m hearing and what I’m seeing in his man
Mannerism yeah he believes in himself he he’s there’s a lot more maturity shown from DUIs now and he believes in himself a lot more you know that he can hold it with these Good Guys yes he has suffered some defeats but there’s a lot more
Experience with this man now and I I I have to agree with MOA Mora I think uh I think Miller isn’t the same fighter and uh not only that but Miller I’m sorry uh Dubois he was in there with some of the best and he got he got hit and stopped
By Jabs by power Jabs us was a power jab from the Southpaw stands and with Joyce he got hit with a with a hard punch a hard jab Miller’s not really a jabber he’s a hook you know he’s he’s type of a hooker uppercut he wants to get on the
Inside fast hands for big boy but he doesn’t really concentrate on that shotgun jab so it gives du an opportunity to get his reach his size his advantage and uh really getting the respect out of Miller see I like the way we’re all talking about this fight
That’s why it’s so intriguing this one cuz there are a few question marks right I guess Daniel D’s mentality again people have lab labeled him a quitter I don’t agree with that but it’s been labeled and Gerard mider coming off PD so again that’s why I’m saying
Potentially for me it’s fight of the night this one could be good as well Deontay Wilder versus Joseph Parker right two former champions they both want to get their belts back right this is and let’s be honest let’s not pretend we don’t know what’s being planned
Wilder versus AJ is out there we know that’s what they want to do this is a banana skin this is a another ban this is the perfect scenario or example rather of a banana skin because a banana skin is an opponent who could potentially win and I really do believe
Parker has a chance if he stays switched on the big word for me for Parker to have success in his fight is disciplin he cannot he’s got to have the focus of an eagle in this fight he cannot afford to switch up for a split second cuz it
Could be curtain but if he can remain disciplined we see against Simon Keane Simon Keane is no down Wilder but he looked very good his hands seem to be quicker than they ever have been before there’s again a maturity with Joseph Parker that I’m seeing more experienced
And more well rounded figh I feel he’s at his Peak now yeah he looks really good and I mean one thing we don’t talk about with Parker obviously we always talk about Wilder’s power and rightly so Parker can crack as well so he can crack
He can box and he’s fought at the higher level for a long time now or the highest level so he brings experience to the ring as well Sergio well he brings a lot of experience and he he brings experience fighting really big men I mean going back to back with Derek
Chisora and really really going against the top names I mean Anthony Joshua I mean that Andy Ruiz uh fight that age well this’s a man who’s accustomed to power accustomed to size so that’s not going to intimidate him I think what’s going to be the fact is him using his
Smaller advant I mean he’s 6’4 but I call him smaller compared to Deontay Wilder but him using his angles using the ring jabbing to the belly really going into the later rounds which he’s a later round fighter you know Parker is the type of fighter that you know he
Fights better the later it goes and I think the motivation that he has training with Andy uh Andy Lee and not only that training with Tyson Fury that’s also going to give him some motivation and he has a championship experience with some of the biggest names so I’m not I’m not counting him
Off this is a 31y old fighter fighting a 38-year-old fighter that’s coming off back well almost coming off backto back losses to Tyson Fury Knockouts so this is he’s a live dog yeah Wilder seems different his demeanor seems quite different like every time I’ve seen Wilder from a distance I’ve seen almost
This pumped up angry Wilder especially leading up to the Tyson Fury fights he seems so much more relaxed now I don’t know if that’s a good thing for Joseph Parker or a bad thing I’m not quite sure look there’s a lot of box boxes ticked for Wilder he’s earned a lot of money
He’s one time he’s been in big fights so pressure’s off I guess he smaller here he looks very Le you know he put on weight for the fury Trilogy fight he went a lot bigger but but I I do feel the way he generates his power is
Through speed and he really commits to the shot and I think that the lighter he is the more speed he can generate the the big question like Sergio said as well 38 years old now and two damaging defeats be it to to the main man in the
Division if you like Tyson Fury is his punch resistance the first thing that goes for a fighter is that punch resistance but the last thing to go is the power it’s an intriguing match up how quick does he whip that right hand over that’s where the power com from
That is where the power com from so fast that’s the co-main event I mean look that that’s a main event in itself we’ve had about four or five main events the main event is Anthony Joshua versus Oten former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua wants those big fights
Once I think and have a crack Alexander usyk I spoke to him and he mentioned that what you make of Al um hey AJ what you make of him and he demeanor I I said it yesterday as he walked over I I thought I could sense some nerves yeah
In him it’s a big occasion this you know these two semi-finals if you like lot of pressure on him having to win against a potential bogey man in the division we see against Tyson Fury how tricky he can be he can adapt Wallen he’s very good at adapting we see against gasier last
Fight he was very Nimble on his feet for a big guy moving poking out the jab against Fury he was on the front foot trying to out muscle this big guy and it just shows he’s very versatile he’s a he’s a he’s a dangerous fighter one no
He’s versatile and uh but here’s the thing that I think there’s a calculated risk on Joshua’s part I mean he’s already beat him in the amateur a couple of times he was a former sparring partner autov violent was so I I think they’re they’re familiar with each
Other’s style and I think uh you know Anthony Joshua’s accustomed to fighting big men and he’s a southpaw BS of Southpaw and we know that Joshua did really well against the last Southpaw he fought in Char in Charles Mar okay in Charles Char Martin well us6 like V
Southpaw type southa Hightech southa I’m talking about Charles Martin way back but that’s the type of fighter that Ballin is so you know he has the size but he just doesn’t have that um I think it was a calculated R Risk by Anthony Joshua he should take care of business
Yeah another calcul R you could say is AJ now with Ben Davidson as opposed to Derek James this is AJ and camp H you’re in the lond of Essex M training traing for a [Applause] fight AJ’s about it he’s never like the suppressors and this the first time in a
Long time I’ve seen him at it I just basically told him I’m going Fu you up I don’t really like the talking stuff there’s a different look in Josh’s eyes you dig in your own grave just up what he wants to destroy you want to talk I’m
Going tell you to your face I’ll you up the news of the Day of Reckoning is big in my opinion it’s one of the best cards I’ve seen and it’s a great opportunity boxers need more opportunities some people ain’t fought in a year two years some people ain’t
Fought in months so to get these opportunities to keep active and keep busy it’s definitely good for the landscape I’m a fighter by Nature I look myself in the mirror and all I see is a fighter so it’s just what I do wherever I’m in Camp or not I’m way
Ready to fight on the GBS everything was Sprint oh my God everything Sprint Sprint Sprint Sprint for the them runs as well be running now be so why am I still tight in the in the gym so even though you’re fit running or you’re pushing this up it’s not Fitness in the
Ring that was weird you know how it is in it like if second round you’re dying thinking how so yeah running doesn’t always equate to Fitness me personally inactivity is a great killer of ambition so I made sure I’m staying active I’m staying ambitious the good thing about
This card it showed you that you don’t actually need Long training camps as long as you’re staying busy and active so next year I could actually get more busy I tended to have this mindset where it’s like fre month camps are important to get ready for for fights this came
Around really quickly and um I said free this year so I’m ticking that box off next year I might go for four obviously I want to get to The Knockout But ultimately I know if I do my job I box clever in and out like a bank robbery I’ll be
Successful 2024 I get past Walling me versus jontay Wilder I feel like I feel like AJ’s been a bit Secret in Camp we haven’t seen as much as we normally see in terms of behind the scenes obviously there is now a new trainer in Ben Davidson what can Ben bring to the table that a Derek James or
Rob McCracken or Robert Garcia couldn’t well they do a lot of video an analysis uh with Lee Wy and Camp they break down every final detail of their opponent and they come up with usually successful plans um I think that’s another string I talk about this string to the bow that
He he’ll have Anthony Joshua with this work he’s doing with Ben Davis but I will say quickly though he does look slightly nervous I like the energy I like the demeanor of AJ he looks like he’s fired up ready to go and um I I’m intrigued to see how this fight plays
Out early doors who’s going to be dominating from the front but who’s going to be looking to land the big blo it’s a great fight on the flip side to I guess me being slightly negative about him with Ben Davidson is there a positive in a new voice new surroundings
New energy because it is new techniques and as you say looking at new film because Ben and Lee do break film down I’m a huge fan of Ben Davidson so whoever whoever’s in his Corner whoever he’s working I’m going to be a fan of
Cuz he knows how to he knows how to use that minute and actually not talk too much just give you the right instructions I’m a huge fan of B Davison and since Anthony Joshua is a cerebral fighter I think he I think he’ll work with that cuz he doesn’t really need the
The energy he needs a b or c and describe it and and that’s how you execute it Ben Davis is one of the best at this so I think it’s just going to be just fine add the fact that they’re they’re they’re both you know Brits they can understand each other understand
Each other’s lingo I think that’s what went wrong with Robert Garcia and and uh Anthony Joshua the fact that there was something missing there the game plan was there but there was something missing the chemistry wasn’t 100% I think Ben Davidson is going to be perfect with the chemistry obviously
Look we’re focused heavy on AJ here let’s go back to Auto volum very quickly what chance do you give OT volen like percentage 30% 30% 30 what was it what percentage chance to you give OT volen of causing the upset uh 20 20 20 so 30 20 25 yeah we’re
A team we’re a team teamw work teamwork 30 2025 but obviously OT of volin coming in here obviously lost just the once that was the Tyson Fury and he caused fury some problems clearly not scared has been semi avoided once an opportunity he’s almost been on the the
Outskirts looking in he’s now Main Event he’s now main event and one of the biggest fighter cards we’ve ever seen yeah look he he’s he’s he knows how to adapt which makes him an awkward opponent he can fight on the front foot he can fight on the back foot he’s uh
Yeah he he’s he’s a danger man he is a danger man but he he knows how to win rounds all right we’re ready to go you can see the big man AJ here former unified heavyweight champion so let’s get this show on the road the main portion of the press conference let’s

To this beautiful city there’s more than 12 zones each offering unique experiences live concerts five-star dining high level sporting events and really everything in between there is something for everyone here in Riad back in October on a night that will live long in the memory it was boxing that
Had the privilege of kicking off Riad season with the battle of the baddest it was Tyson Fury against Francis and gar the king of heavyweight boxing against the king of MMA it was an unforgettable night and one of the most talked about events in the history of sport for those
Who have already been fortunate enough to visit Riad you’ll know that there is something very special in the Arabian air and for those who haven’t visited yet well what are you waiting for you need to come and get involved uh and this event on Saturday night is
Everything that Riad season is all about it is well and truly big time let’s begin once again by bringing in Hall of Fame boxing promoter Frank Warren and Frank I touched upon the uh incredible Battle of the badest furi and garu back in October and it felt like that opened up
An awful lot and looking up at this top table you must be pretty pleased with what’s going on I am it’s uh this is this is history making certainly as far as boxing’s concerned it’s certainly the biggest event I’ve been on involved with as regarding the amount of top quality
Fights on one card and certainly we’ve got as I mentioned earlier we’ve got 10 of the top 15 heavyweight fighters in the world on this card uh plus two other Champions defending their titles and this is is this is definitely something extra special and uh I’m going to repeat
Myself from early I also want to thank the his Royal harness the Crown Prince his Excellency turkey Al alesk for making the event possible in this re season and all his staff who’ve worked very closely with Queensbury uh with General entertainment authority of Saudi Arabia Spencer Brown’s gold star
Promotion seller and all the promoters here my fellow promoters that I will mention again earlier Eddie her from maton boxing 258 AJ boxing Shelly finle top ranks cisa promotions wasman boxing and SCS boxing I’ve never said anything like that before that’s what shows what this is all about everybody cooperating
To deliver and we have between all of us delivered something extra extra special special this is a boxing Feast for the fans and I’m going to tell you it will blow your mind on Saturday night all of these guys are putting it on the line
All of them they all want to be back here as I said in the last press conference they want to be back here in the new year and for the winners it’s going to get bigger and bigger and better and better and it’s going to set
Some great fights up for the boxing fans around the world and just on these fights it feels like Frank some of these fights could really change the landscape of boxing right now with the results and the way they could potentially go high high level fights High Jeopardy well it goes
Without saying you know you look at the The Joint Main Events two main events you got AJ from Britain you know he’s uh he’s in a tough fight he’s in in with Otto Wallen who’s uh only got one loss on his record 26 wins that loss was
Against Tyson Fury he’s coming off a very very impressive win over gasier from his last fight um AJ I’m sure will be out to prove uh that he’s still at the top table he’s going to I’m sure he’s going to be looking to put put in a fantastic performance and Oto is going
To be looking to upset upset the odds and the Apple car so I think that in itself is going to be a very very intriguing and important fight and then you look at deonce he’s uh he’s in with a a real tough competitor in Joseph Parker Joseph Parker um won his last
Fight here on the very first show that we did at the ri seasoning and done it in good style um he’s a fellow stablemate trainer I should say of training mate of Tyson Fury so I’m sure he’ll be ask him for some tips from Tyson about what he
Should be doing and Deontay he’s been out the ring for two years he’s come back with one win which was a hell of a win a knock one round blowout of helenius um again neither of these guys can afford to slip up you know Deontay I’m sure again will want to be
Confirming his place at the top table and Joseph par doing his best to upset the odds they’re great fights they’re intriguing fights and who knows what the winners where they go and what it will lead to thank you very much Frank we’ll be coming back to you shortly well the
First fight that we’re going to discuss is a tremendous World title fight between the unbeaten Russian Dimitri bivel putting his WBA light heavyweight title on the line against the the IBO light heavyweight champion Britain’s lyen King Arthur now this fight has brought to you an association with world
Of Bo boing promotions matchroom boxing and Vasan boxing uh I’m going to start by bringing in Eddie Hearn Eddie great to see you again um it feels like Demitri bivel your guy a man at the peak of his powers right now and a real chance to make a statement on Saturday
Yeah thanks Dev and uh just just to Echo what Frank said really the excitement building into this card it was four years ago we first came to Riad and the change that we’ve seen here has been incredible I’m not sure like Frank said we’ve ever SE seen a card put together
Like this before and particularly the speed in which it was delivered so many great fights of course the heavyweight fights but so many great opportunities for other fighters in different weight classes when you talk about Demitri bivol you talk about a pound-for-pound great Fighter um the victory over Canelo
Alvarez that we promoted in Las Vegas on uh in the T-Mobile Arena was incredible it was a master class cemented his position on the pound-for-pound list and I’m delighted that Lyndon ARA gets the opportunity you know a great lad British Fighter um great team with Pat Barrett
And everybody in Manchester and you know that he’s going to come to win on Saturday but he has a very tough task ahead of him against I believe the number one light heavyweight in the world and have you struggled to find willing opponents for what you believe
Is the number one light heavyweight in the world yeah I mean um you know we’ve we’ve offered the fight to a number of British Fighters Joshua baty Dan aiz and finally we found one to step up in Lynden Arthur you know we’ve got a good team with Nissa and ker at wasman boxing
As well and you know great to have them involved and so many promoters and you know you got to Chase Chase greatness Lyndon ARA has an opportunity to feature on the pound-for-pound list himself if he can Dethrone Demitri bivel tough ass but he’s a quality fighter this man to
My right has been out of the ring for over a year but ready to show everybody that he’s the Top Dog on Saturday night let’s bring in Vadim cornov from World of boxing promotions and Vadim Demitri bivel your guy has uh you know you’ve been with him every step of the way and
Now he is on this stage he’s already done so much but it feels like this is perhaps a new chapter in the brilliant career of Dimitri bivel tell us about it yes it’s a pleasure to be here and uh you know it’s a great opportunity for us
Uh it’s been an honor working with everybody involved there’s a lot of promoters Queensberry match room uh Cella um his Excellency and uh so far it’s been a great ride we’re looking forward to um a beginning of a big big chapter for us um you know this fight is
A stepping stone for us for possible for a possible um Undisputed fight to come next year um but right now obviously we’re focused on Lyndon Arthur and uh we appreciate that he took this fight we appreciate that he took the challenge as Eddie said there’s been probably four or
Five opponents that we we were trying to get in the ring with uh Dimitri and many of them were not uh enticed in in doing the fight so we appreciate this um we appreciate this opportunity and we look forward to a great event thank you thank
You in well let’s bring in from Team Lindon Arthur from fan boxing Nissa saand Nissa you know a huge opportunity for your man here Lyon Arthur a huge night you must be delighted to secure this very much so um I think like Eddie said and Vadim said a lot of people have
Been offered this fight but my man on the right to me has taken this the Reigns and he’s decided to take the fight massive opportunity if he wins on Saturday night he’s number one in the division he calls the shots we’re not coming here to make up numbers we’re
Coming to win and that is the aim on Saturday and I think he’ll do it I call me crazy I think he’s going to do it he’s he’s bang up for it and um yeah looking looking very much forward to seeing it well there’s been all this
Talk a round of applause for for Nisa Sal listen there has been all this talk Nissa about the uh about the next fight as as does happen in boxing people are linking Dimitri bivel to the winner of BBV against Smith people are talking about that fight I mean how does that
Sound to you when people are talking about that fight and perhaps overlooking your man Lyon Arthur yeah I think that’s it’s a very dangerous thing to do I think Vadim said it correctly he said he’s well he said it was a stepping stone but he’s not a stepping stone he’s
Someone that can’t be overlooked um Lyndon has top pedigree he beat yardi obviously lost a rematch but when he’s up for a fight lyndon’s up for a fight and trust me he’s up for it on Saturday night um you know I’m very very excited to see the performance okay thank you
Very much Nissa saand I’m just going to pause to see if anyone else is going to applaud yeah apparently so there you go Nissa saand Let’s uh let’s bring in the man sat next to him Lyon King Arthur very very well attired today Lyndon I love what you’ve gone with today um look

Following your story for a long time from the kid that was sat on the curb pulled and picked up by Pat Barrett dragged into the gym convinced to go and change your life well look around you have changed your life how does it feel to be right here on the grandest stage
Of the mo it’s godman I’m I say I’m taking out and I kind of have changed my life a little bit with with with boxing and how far I’ve took it nobody probably would have thought I would take it this far if you asked them 10 years ago but here I
Am it’s a huge task some people call him the number one light heavyweight in the world are you ready for this task yeah I won’t be here obviously what is it that you can do to upset Demitri bivel on Saturday night we’ll see you on Saturday very short very concise answers
Lyon Arthur um do you feel like the uh do you feel like the best is still yet to come from you Lyndon yeah I believe so I believe so I don’t believe nobody’s seen the best of me yet but I feel like if if a fight is going to do it this one
Will be the one okay all right we look forward to that let’s bring in the WBA light heavyweight champion Mr Dimitri bivel uh Dimitri I saw you out for Fury versus inaru another round of applause why not I saw you out for Fury versus enanu in
October you look like you love Riad and now you get the chance to fight here how does that feel uh hello everyone uh first of all I want to say uh thank you Saudi for making this huge event to invite me to be part of this event uh
Thank you to my team to my promoters uh Eddie Hearn uh rabinsky Andre world of boxing and uh thank you everyone who support me uh what about Saudi of course uh I like to be here because I know uh Saudi makes great events and on the
Tyson uh against uh Nano I was excited to see how they make this uh show how how huge is it and of course I wanted to be one day part of this of similar huge event and I’m here now and U Saudi making making very good job for all of
Boxing Society I think uh because fans want to see great fights and they will see uh couple of great fights at one day and why is Lindon Arthur the right fight for you right now why is this the right one um you know usually I’m my life
Schedule until the fight uh I’m living until the December 24th uh many people ask me about what about uh Undisputed fight of course I’m talking about it but I’m really focused on Lindon Arthur I’m treating to him seriously because uh he’s my opponent he want
To uh beat me but uh I I have to beat him and uh he has good J he he has good JB uh he’s a fighter he had couple of fights this year and uh he’s good opponent today for me uh Dimitri you’re you’re still unbeaten obviously so many world title defense
But we haven’t seen a knockout for a little while now do you think we can get a knockout on Saturday night uh everything is possible uh but you know me I’m not usually focused on knockout because it distracted distract me from my uh from my plan of course if I see
The moment I will use this moment uh but I’m not the fighter who think about only one punch I like to enjoy the process I like to following my tactics and I’m enjoying it to be honest in the ring all right thank you very much we’re looking
Forward to this on Saturday night the WBA and the IBO light Heavyweight Championships on the line Demitri bivel and Lyndon Arthur now the next fight that we’re going to come to is a fight that has got a lot of people talking these guys could not be more opposite in
Character Daniel dbar and Jerel Miller but they are united in one common goal on Saturday and that’s to knock each other out cannot wait for this this fight it’s brought to you in association with Selita promotions and Miller time promotions and Frank I’m going to I’m
Going to bring you in here um Daniel D just 18 19 years old when he first joined the Queensbury stable you’ve been there every step of the way feels like a big one on Saturday night it certainly is um he’s in a tough fight there’s no doubt about that and he’s just coming
Off for a very tough fight against usyk um we’ll have our views on how that the outcome of that I felt that was a legitimate blow but I’m not going to drive everybody mad about that um but look Daniel shows that he’s got the power I think he gave usyk his toughest
Fight a heavyweight and he certainly exposed I think a weakness there in his around his middle I he struggles a bit taking sometimes shots of the body and as I say Daniel has power but at the end of the fight a lot of people questioned the way it ended they questioned about
His commitment and this is a fight where he’s got to get out out there and he’s got to show what he’s all about and that’s the challenge for him and he’s up for the challenge he’s in a really good place at the moment and he’s in with a excellent fighter who’s had
His problems in the past he’s now got his license back having paid for the problems that he incurred upon himself um he’s licensed by the Nevada State athletic commission this is uh this is a good fight for him as well you know both these guys I think are at a level now where
They need to put in a performance that’s going to be really eye-catching a performance that’s going to move them on to the next level I’ve got my views on who I feel will win and that’s why Daniel we put him into the fight but I know that Gerald’s got his own opinion
On that but one thing’s for sure this fight has got it is on paper a 50/50 fight and I think it’s going to be probably the most competitive fight on the night I may be wrong because there are some great fights on the card but it’s going to be a very very competitive
Fight thank you very much Frank let’s bring in Dimitri Selita here uh Dimitri you’ve been banging the drum for jell Miller for a little while now you’ve talked about how he’s got the skills and the personalities to really become a top top heavyweight but this feels like the
Toughest fight of his career do you agree with that and do you agree with what Frank said uh thank you so much first of all it’s a great honor to be here and I want to thank all the event organizers uh this is a fantastic event
And uh like Mr Frank Warren said this is a Crossroads fight and uh Jerel has all the ingredients the skills the personality to be real force and heavyweight Division and uh Daniel deis on paper is jerel’s toughest opponent but I believe jel is going to be explosive impressive and is going to put
Himself in position for big big fights so for you this is a case of Jerell Miller putting himself in the shop window for maybe some other guys up here definitely I think that jel look at how much interest he’s generated this week There’s not have been a lot of
Heavyweight from Brooklyn New York like Mike Tyson rck bo uh who have the personality and the skills and I believe with a impressive win jell puts himself in a picture with the big fights with Tyson Fury with Anthony Joshua with usk W Wilder Etc thank you very much Dmitri
Now of I’ve been looking forward to this all week I’m actually going to come to Daniel Duo first because I’m not sure he’d get a word in otherwise So Daniel I’m going to I’m going to bring you in here you’ve talked about how this guy here Jerell Miller is the perfect
Opponent for you now he is going to weigh £100 more than you he’s going to be calling you names he’s going to be walking you down why is he the perfect guy for you to for um I only have a few things to say to Geral yo big baby every

Squad I’m first going to bring in Shelly finle representative of course of Deontay Wilder for a long time and Shel I know you’re a man of few words but this really is an important night for Deontay Wilder I still only have a few words um fact is it’s a great
Competitive fight I like Joseph Parker as a person but I think the Young deante is just going to be too much for him and you’ll see it and don’t blink as deont says cuz it happens that F thank you Shelly finall well I won’t
Ask you too many more I know you are a man of of few words thank you for that let’s bring in let’s bring in Joseph Parker here uh a very very important fight for you in in your career you’ve talked about how this is the biggest
Fight of your career you are now just hours away from taking on one of the biggest punches in the history of the sport how you feeling firstly it’s great to be back in Saudi Arabia thank you to his Excellency for the opportunity to fight on this card in
This event thank you to the people of Saudi Arabia for being so welcoming to our team uh smer Brown and Gypsy King Andy Lee George locker and David Higgins thanks for all the hard work team Parker I’m here and I’m ready I’ve had a great Camp uh we’re going into this fight good
Game plan great strategy and listen respect to a but I’m here to do a job and I’m here to win that’s it listen Joe you’re not going to get away with that in your corner you’ve got Andy Lee you know you’ve been going to Tyson Fury for advice as well I’ve
Seen Tyson do a couple of interviews talking about it what sort of benefit have you got from this camp where Deontay Wilder is looking in the opposite corner and he is seeing the same camp that actually inflicted his only defeats like I said we have a great camp and the
People involved but when I get out there I’m going to I’m going to put on a great display all right well let’s bring in Deontay Wilder here uh Deontay uh really a Monumental moment in your career so far it’s your Saudi Arabia debut I know you’ve been looking forward to this one
Tell us about it yeah it’s been a it’s been an amazing time just being here this is my second time here and um just the love and the support that I’ve been getting from all the people here it’s just been amazing and just to be a part
Of this card is uh with so many great Fighters This is a one-of a kind card and with so many uh great fighters on one car heavyweights and this is what we we like to see everyone loves to see heavyweights and they love to see Knockouts and uh they got the right man
On the car for this job I’m definitely coming to do what I do best you know it’s something that that’s that’s god-given is something that I don’t have to to pressure myself do or or or others apply pressure on to me is something that come naturally and um I’m coming to
Do it again um this time around as well so like Shel told you like I always say don’t blink Baby Bam good night Deontay with this fight it’s um it’s a fight that was talked about a few years ago when he had the WBO title of
Course you had the WBC Title I’ve seen you talk about it and I’ve seen you actually say that you think Joseph Parker ran from you and you’re going to take it out on him for running from you um tell us a little bit bit more about
That you really think he didn’t want to fight you once upon a time yeah I I I truly believe he ran from me you know I’ve heard that he said that uh he confident that he’s going to going to knock me out but I I kind of hard that
Find to or hard to believe because uh how how can you have confidence in yourself as a challenger and you didn’t have confidence in yourself as a champion it’s kind of backwards to me but uh whatever flows his boat we’ll see what happens on Saturday night I I can’t
Wait to look I’m looking forward to sharing the read with him and made the best man win Joseph have you been running from Deontay Wilder I don’t run from anyone Dev as you can see I fight the best in the world every time this is the thing about you Joseph
I was actually going to raise this you are the guy that seems to say yes to everyone I mean no one really was queuing up to fight Joe Joyce do you still consider this guy to be the hardest test of your entire career and do you feel you can knock him out on
Saturday of course this is a tough test tough test but I know I can knock him out 100% and Tyson Fury has said all you got to do is keep out of the way of the right hand is that is is that it is that the plan
Correct that’s what I’m going to do Deontay there’s there’s more to Deontay Wilder than just a right hand right what’s that there is more to Deontay Wilder than just a right hand though right we’re going to find out Saturday night you know um I’m good that he’s
Getting advice I hope he take it all in because when he wake up he going to be like damn they lied to me good one good one Jo if I want to um I want to read you a quote which I seen from Deontay Wilder something he said which I thought
Okay he’s he’s gone in a little bit here he said I want to knock him out of the ring I’ve never knocked a man out of the ring I want to knock him out of the ring and I don’t want nobody to hold him up when he falls I want him to fall
Straight on the floor and on the ground with his arm folded out looking up into the sky these are words that have left the mouth of Deontay Wilder now hearing that that sounds like quite a brutal warning what do what goes through your mind when you hear that thank you very much thank
You Deon anything to say to that I mean these words did leave your mouth it sounds like you’re you’re coming here with bad intentions well you know I I I come to do what I I do best you know um that’s a sight to get the fans what they want to
See you know at the end of the day no one wants to see a 12 round fight it’s a whole bunch of heavyweights up here and we the hard hitters and um at the end of the day people have things to do and they want to come and see a fight and
After that they want to go party so when you’re watching me like I said don’t blank I’m going to give you what you want to see and uh nowadays my name is called Dr sleep and um I definitely got the night quill in the right hand so I
Hope you bring a pillow and a blank it get a little chilly at night thank you deont just Joseph I mean do you intend on bringing a pillow are you taking his advice do RS now yeah don’t ask me silly questions a stupid question on to the next one there will
Be no pillow on Saturday look Deontay I just want to come back to you obviously you’ve got this fight but we can’t ignore all the rumors that are out there in in the marketplace um you talk about how obviously you always focus on your next fight but you do like to window
Shop now when you look through this window over here I can see Anthony Joshua over here what do you see when you look through this window um honestly I see a man that’s that’s that’s been focused and uh and and and you know focus on his what the
Task that lies at hand you know um as same as I but you know I I’m not in his head so I can’t speak for himself you know a lot of people have asked me about his manualism the way he’s been his demeanor about him about himself the
Way he been reacting to the media you know the questions that when it comes about me you know I can’t speak for him you know we we we we on the outside looking in and and uh we’ll see you know he he has a a task to a big task to
Complete as well I have one as well so when it’s all over with we can we can talk about it but at this moment in time it’s uh it’s getting close to the fight and I think we’re both focused on the on the same task and that’s the win um and
Uh I’ll leave it as that thank you very much Deontay thank you very much Joseph Parker as well well let’s keep things moving let’s speak about the brilliant co-main event the former two-time unified World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua returns takes on a a highly rated highly ranked swed of
Course the one and only Otto Valley and it’s a fight that we truly can’t wait for I’m going to this this fight is presented by Queens Brew promotions and matchroom boxing in association with AJ boxing and I’m going to start by bringing in Eddie Hearn Eddie at the
Launch press conference you talked about the road map for Anthony Joshua the next stop on that road map is Otto Valen how do you feel about this fight six weeks notice tall southp what do you think yeah thanks Dev I mean first it’s three great heavyweight fights um I can’t wait
For big baby against definitely my new favorite heavyweight after that war cry in Daniel de it’s a great fight and uh real 5050 fight and this man to my right Beyond AJ and Joseph Parker means business he’s got a tremendous team great people Andy Lee one of the best
Trainers in the sport and that’s a very tough fight for Deontay Wilder who is one of the most exciting heavyweights on the planet for AJ um The Run has been incredible the journey has been incredible from winning Olympic gold from winning the World Heavyweight Championship in his 16th fight the run
That he’s been on you know Dominic Brazil Eric Molina Vladimir Klitschko Carlos takam unifying against against Joseph Parker in a great fight as well Alexander petkin Andy Ruiz Andy Ruiz kubat pulv Alexander usk Alexander usk Jermaine Franklin Robert helenius and now Otto Wallin this is his third fight
In 2023 it’s the first time he’s been able to be active without the politics of a belt and it’s a real test you know Otto iring is a guy that I remember seeing in Sheffield many years ago um many people feel like he was unlucky not to force a stoppage against Tyson Fury
He’s coming off a great win against morak gasv and I love his confidence I think he truly believes he will win the fight on Saturday we’ve got other plans but we also know when you talk about a road map the most dangerous thing is to
Not look straight in front of you and uh I see a very motivated Anthony Joshua um you know I see a guy that has really in my opinion been responsible for the growth of the heavyweight division going back to filling stadiums coming off the world championship Victory after winning
Olympic gold and a guy that has plenty more left to give to the heavyweight division wants to become a three-time world heavyweight champion but has a real tough task ahead of him on Saturday night great link up with Ben Davidson I think you’re going to see a stunning performance from Anthony on
Saturday I’ve got to just bring you up on this one there there’s been a lot of talks a lot of reports out there about the next fight already being signed but that’s not the case Eddie no not at all you know I mean look we Anthony wants
The biggest fights in boxing his resume proves that he has the best resume in the heavyweight division we’ve wanted to fight Deontay Wilder for a long time but the only thing that matters is Saturday night you know um I I I worry for Deontay Wilder in the fight and anything
Can happen in our fight as well but nothing agreed you know his Excellency has a vision for boxing in Saudi Arabia he wants to bring the biggest fights for me that is the biggest fight in boxing but nothing agreed and all irrelevant until Saturday night has finished thank
You Eddie before we bring in the fighters let’s just bring in Frank Warren here again uh Frank this is a tremendous mendous co-main event fight here Anthony Joshua utto valin so much on the line for both guys really um give us your thoughts heading into it it’s a
Very you say it’s a very very interesting fight um AJ he’s Eddie just said he’s had a couple of fights this year and this is be his third one uh this is uh I think he be the toughest one for him he’s got an opponent who really up for the job
He’s only lost one fight that was against Tyson that was quite a few years ago and as I mentioned earlier he’s coming off with an impressive win against gasv he he’s generally I’ve spoken him he genuinely thinks thinks he can win this Auto and AJ can’t afford to lose it
Wants to stay at the top of the on the top table it’s his fights that he’s got to win he’s got to win them in style it’s going to be an exciting fight there’s no doubt about that I think it will be exciting um and you got eight
Fights on this card eight quality fights there will be an upset somewhere the odds must the odds will obviously uh prove that there will definitely be an upset so who’s it going to be cuz these guys all these are guys all the opponents all the Fells who are
Coming here class as opponents they’re coming to win they’re not just coming to make up the numbers they’re coming to win these fights and I think um AJ will have his hands full I think it’s be a tough fight and we’re going to see what the future brings for him he knows what
He’s got to do to win he knows what what what state here he probably knows better than me or anybody and he can’t afford to slip up and as I’ve just said Otto is a massive chance massive opportunity to him the same as it is for Joseph Parker against Deontay you know these
Are good quality fights there’s Jeopardy in these fights there is real Jeopardy in them so we’ll see Saturday night is going to be one hell of a card there’s no doubt about it thank you very much Frank let’s bring in so valin um Otto you’ve been very vocal in the buildup to
This fight I think you’ve surprised people by some of the things that you have said now that it’s getting closer now that it’s just hours away are you getting nervous how you feeling of course I’m nervous but I just want to say thank you for the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia Frank Warren for making this happen but yes of course I’m nervous it’s a big fight big opportunity but I’m ready for it I worked very hard to be here and uh now it’s just time to enjoy the moment win the fight and move on but you know uh people talking about upsets
But I’m going to win the fight and you shouldn’t call an upset it’s not really an upset it’s just natural this is my time so I’m I’m ready for it I’m really happy to be here there been a lot of talk from yourself about the mental side
Of things do you feel like you have the mental Edge heading into Saturday I don’t know I’m just trying to be myself people say I talk a lot now but I mean I get questions I just answer them them with what I feel right and uh that’s
That’s just I’m not trying to make anything up it’s just the truth so if if people like it fine if they don’t then that’s okay too you you actually said that if uh if you were Anthony Joshua you wouldn’t have taken this fight you wouldn’t have chosen to fight utto Valen
Why is that why are you such a problem because I have a lot of Secrets I can’t tell them right now can you at least give us a hint anything uto give me something no but okay if you if you really want to know
You know I’m a I’m a I’m a tricky SAA I’m a good fighter it’s kind of a short notice to this fight and also he’s got a new trainer so I think that’s uh you know that can be tricky there’s a little bit of history there there’s some
Amateur fights that you’ve had there’s uh plenty of rounds sparring as well and you said that he’s a different guy to what you remember how was Anthony Joshua chained from the man that you used to know well I only know him outside of the Ring really I mean inside the ring too
But not in a fight like this and my sense now is I mean he used to be an happy guy but I don’t know from from what I see it seems very stiff and tense but uh I don’t know maybe he’s he’s uh fed up with all this
Stuff I think you might be right um and alsoo let me just ask you this I watched an interview the the other day with Anthony where he said that there will be blood and bruises on Saturday night are you ready for that yeah look at the furi
Fight you see a lot of blood and a lot of bruises thank you alsoo valin well I’m going to defer to Eddie Hearn here who has a few questions for the former unified World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua Eddie over to you thanks Dev thank you Otto as well looking forward to a great
Fight um just to finish on um this incredible card and again thanks to all the promoters and and Frank Warren of Queensbury yourself Dev and and his Excellency for the vision um as I said four years ago this journey started in Saudi Arabia with Anthony Joshua when he
Rematched Andy here in Riyad and the development in this city the development in the country not just as a destination for worldclass sport has been incredible and uh this man to my right has been around a long time he’s seen it he’s done it all um I think when you talk
About his demeanor this week just another fight for him he’s done this many many times all around the world and uh just to close with the main event the star of the show AJ ready to fight on Saturday night not too many words but I know you’re looking to do a demolition

Desire and lots of belief in himself indeed indeed look it’s going to be a big ass but I mean look you never know but this is this is again I’ve been saying it for the last couple of days I think since this fight card was announced this is the one I’ve been
Looking forward to the most just because I think there are so many question marks and question marks in a heavyweight division Sergio mean excitement no absolutely look we know that du can punch but we also know that he’s vulnerable but the thing about Big Baby Miller he has the mouth he’s a
Promoter’s dream that’s the thing about boxing whether whether you back it up with your fist or you back it up with your mouth you want to tune in but look this this is it right Back Down fight D’s not a tough guy he’s not a tough guy but I love what I’m
Seeing I love the body language and it’s all in the eyes look at the eyes I love it do not do not think in this fight it’s going to be fireworks from the opening round I agree I agree that’s almost got a perfect five or six rounds
All over it after that I have absolutely no idea but look that’s what we won that’s what we won you’ve had your turn jell you V turn here we go co-main event um a very intriguing fight this one Joseph Parker against Deontay W should I say Deontay
Wild versus Joseph Parker we don’t know too much about Deontay hasn’t been in the ring that many times in the last few years the last time was only a round against helenius but we do know that right hand a for Hammer he can end the show in a split second he is that
Dangerous but 38 now how is the punch resistance Joe Parker looking as good as he’s ever looked I know Simon Keane is no Wilder but still you can only beat his in front of you and he’s done it looking very very impressive I love these St downs I’m like a little kid in
The Sweet Shop look at this I like what I’m seeing with Joseph Parker too look he looked leaner than before he has the experience I love what I’m seeing with the body language he’s not intimidated by the bronze bommer at all that’s going to be the sleeper of the night if
There’s going to be an upset that’s it right there and then this one the main event Anthony Joshua versus OT volen again question marks right I mean what I like about AJ in the leadup to this fight this will be his third fight in nine months a lot of people say third
Fight in a year no no it’s better than that third fight in 9 months incredible yeah that’s real throwback stuff that that’s fighting all the time that’s how you get your timeing your distance and yeah that that’s crucial with a guy like Wallin who I said he’s adaptable you can
Fight on the front foot on the back foot he means business but AJ looking solid looking strong powerful full of self-belief and yeah it’s another cracking fight on an absolute Blockbuster of a bill it really is an absolute Blockbuster bill and we make it official tomorrow for the weigh-in so
Make sure you do tune in cuz you want to see it official we need to see these guys on the scales we need to see if jome mid is going to break the scale 3325 but would you make of this little St down very quickly DZ yeah they they
They both been business they they both truly believe they’re going to win this contest and that’s what makes it so intriguing you got an opponent here in W that thinks he’s going to rip up the script and make a name for himself but AJ looking focused looking powerful and
Ready and huge yeah they are Reckoning not long to go we in tomorrow so make sure you do tune in that’s 400 p.m. in the UK 11:00 p.m. in the east coast so make sure you tune in Day of Reckoning getting closer to I think the greatest

Dev is wank. Get him gone.
Whoever chose the promoters intro songs did an amazing job 😂
Dev’s voice makes me want to staple my eyeballs to the ceiling
1:35:21 Dev is such a weasel. Tryna rub it in. Unnecessary
Parker for the upset
My picks:
Junior fa upset
Filip
Jai (easy stoppage)
Daniel Dubois
Bivol (easy win)
Parker (MD)
Anthony OR Otto (tough to call)
Pisses me off dubois fight is above bivol.
No title fights on this card so NO not the best card ever !
This little Indian boy running the press conference needs to be fired. Absolutely useless.
Give Eddie Hearn the mic.
Meanwhile, Fury is out getting beat up by boxing debutants.
AJ absolutely hates dev. i don’t blame him tho.
Dev seems so fake. Looking forward to Saturday. Shame its not in the UK as the crowd would be well hyped
Opetaia all day laaaaaah 🇦🇺🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
Jai Opetaia 🔥🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
Eddie to Miller "we'll see how your engine is now."
All that needed to be said in one stone cold statement 😎 cue Dr Dre music…
This presenter is a real rat same size as a 12 year old and all he does is try cause problems between fighters
