The event will be available live worldwide on DAZN PPV and ESPN+ PPV, brought to you by Visit Saudi, MDL Beast, and Red Sea Global.<\/p>\n<p>The event will be promoted by Riyadh Season, Sela, League 1, and Matchroom Boxing in association with World of Boxing, TGB Promotions, Goldstar, Queensberry, Salita Promotions, and Warriors Boxing Promotions.<\/p>\n<p>This is what the fighters had to say:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>TERENCE CRAWFORD<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel good, I\u2019m feeling great. I\u2019m ready to fight but all my people always try to remind me to enjoy the moment because one day it\u2019s all going to be gone, so embrace it while you can.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I always say everything happens for a reason and for that reason God didn\u2019t bless me then, but he blessed me now when I\u2019m more mature and can handle everything that comes my way. Who knows where I would have been had I got everything that I wanted when he was younger and immature.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ISRAIL MADRIMOV<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting a long time for this moment and we are here and just waiting for Saturday where I want a victory. I like this moment and the first time in my life and only imagined something like this would happen to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur training has been good and I\u2019m feeling great. I want to make a good game plan and it will be a great fight on Saturday. I don\u2019t think this fight is about the size, it\u2019s about the experience and knowledge he can use. This division is my division and I\u2019m the champion, I have to defend the belt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>JARED ANDERSON<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t wait to see it and for him (Bakole) to show me if he could knock me out. Every fight gets me one step closer, I\u2019m here to win, I\u2019m here to perform, I\u2019m here to put on a show for the crowd. As you can see they\u2019re excited already. I\u2019m just here to do my job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>MARTIN BAKOLE<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to say thank you for my team and for having me today. I came to America on business, I did not come here to joke, I did not come here to play. I will knockout Anderson.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ANDY \u201cTHE DESTROYER\u201d RUIZ<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBurritos and Nachos have been helping win all my fights and become champion of the world so nothing wrong about that. And that is exactly what I\u2019m going to do on August 3. I\u2019m going to win. I\u2019m going to get this victory and this victory will be for God.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter how tall you are. How big you are and how much muscle you have. It\u2019s all about what you have inside. And I have a big heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel really good. I feel sharp. We did all the hard work in the gym. Yes, I had a two-year layoff but that doesn&#8217;t mean that I was outside of the gym, you know. I was still training. I was still disciplined. Even through my ups and downs, God was with me and that\u2019s why we are going to win on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had it all and I wanted back. I was the unified heavyweight champion of the world and then boom. It went away. I want it back and I have to do. I know exactly what I did wrong. And I know what I have to do to get it all back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>JARRELL \u201cBIG BABY\u201d MILLER<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel great. I haven\u2019t been eating like my man Andy [Ruiz] here. I put down the tacos, burritos, the burgers and hard work baby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI come to win. I come to knock people out. I destroy people. He may be the destroyer but I\u2019m the one who destroys people. Ready to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the opportunity to get back what I\u2019ve lost. Me and Eddie [Hearn] have a bromance hell or behave relationship. But that\u2019s life. You become a man. Have a conversation and sort things out and move on and move forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fight is not personal. Andy replaced me a couple of years ago and got that big check and now I have to fuck him up. I\u2019m going to turn his ass into burritos and nachos after this one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ISAAC \u201cPITBULL\u201d CRUZ<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really happy to be fighting and I prepared very hard. It\u2019s a great feeling to be coming to Los Angeles as a world champion. I\u2019m going to put out a great show for the Californians and for my people from Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to give 1000% of what I got and I am going to give every once of energy, so the people can see my great performance and so I can deliver on Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>JOSE \u201c EL RAYO\u201d VALENZUELA<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the hard work gives me confidence in this fight. I\u2019ve been very focused and training hard and I\u2019m ready to make the best of it. Just being smart and being relaxed will help me deal with the pressure during this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ANDY \u201c EL DIAMANTE\u201d CRUZ<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel happy and motivated. I\u2019m proud to be part of such a great event and I think we are going to put on a great show on Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a great team behind me. I have made some adjustments thanks to my great team including Bozy Ennis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to win. No matter what. I\u2019m winning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ANTONIO MORAN<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to put on a great spectacle. We are going to give the fans what they want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the both of us are here because we are at a similar level. I have 38 fights under my belt. He\u2019s good too. This is an even matchup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>DAVID MORRELL<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel good. It\u2019s been a long time since the last time I fought at this weight and I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to put on a good show for my people, for my fans. This is a new David Morrell. This Morrell at 175 is vicious. I\u2019m excited about the opportunities at this division.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>RADIVOJE KALAJDZIC<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel great, I\u2019m excited to be on this big event against a fighter live David so I can showcase my skills, and I\u2019m just excited. He comes to fight, I come to fight, it\u2019s going to be an exciting fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>STEVEN NELSON<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m here to get my opportunity and show the world that I can do it inside and outside of the ring, that\u2019s why they call me \u2018So Cold\u2019 because I\u2019m so cold in everything that I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ZIYAD ALMAAYOUF<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Saudi superhero is on a mission abroad. Batman has left Gotham City but he never doesn\u2019t return. I\u2019m here to do a job, I&#8217;m gonna do the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs much pressure as this is, even more privilege comes with it, to be a flag bearer, to be a superhero, to be a symbol, to not only a state or a city, but a country as is in Saudi Arabia, but I can even go as far as saying the Arab world. That whole side of the world I carry with me when I go into the ring, and this is all due to the two holy mosques, the king, the crown prince and his excellency, Turki Alalshikh for giving me the opportunity and the faith, they gave it to the right guy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pound-for-pound great and three-division world champion Terence \u201cBud\u201d Crawford and WBA Super Welterweight World Champion Israil Madrimov made their grand arrivals today at the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, Calif., ahead of their 154-pound showdown on Saturday, August 3 at BMO Stadium.
