\"\"<\/a>With less than a week away to fight night, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook and undercard fighters talk about their training camp experiences and expectations surrounding their big fights this Saturday, Aug. 16 at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. live on SHOWTIME\u00ae.<\/p>\n

In the main event, undefeated IBF Welterweight World Champion \u201cShowtime\u201d Shawn Porter will defend his title against fellow unbeaten British sensation Kell Brook in a 12-round bout. In the co-feature, Sakio \u201cThe Scorpion\u201d Bika seeks to retain his WBC Super Middleweight Championship when he faces Anthony \u201cThe Dog\u201d Dirrell in a highly anticipated 12-round rematch of their Dec. 2013 split draw. In the opening fight of the telecast, Omar \u201cPanterita\u201d Figueroa Jr. will put his WBC Lightweight World Title on the line when he faces mandatory challenger WBC Silver Lightweight Champion Daniel \u201cTremendo\u201d Estrada in a 12-round bout.<\/p>\n

Fight week has arrived, and as the Aug. 16 fighters wrap up camp, they answer a series of training camp related questions that offer some insight into their final preparations for this Saturday\u2019s bouts.<\/p>\n

Q: You\u2019re essentially done with training camp at this point, how did everything go?<\/p>\n

A: Shawn Porter (training in Las Vegas) \u2013 \u201cYep, it\u2019s all over as of last week. We just finished, and my dad was very happy with how everything went. We did 15 rounds of sparring to close things out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kell Brook (finalizing his training in Las Vegas) \u2013 \u201cWe got some great work done. We\u2019re winding everything down, and I\u2019m feeling fresh for fight night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sakio Bika (training in St. Louis) \u2013 \u201cEverything has gone smoothly. My team and I have been working very hard and they have been very supportive. The weather has been great, and I haven\u2019t had any injuries. So everything has gone well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Dirrell (training in Detroit) \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s going well. It\u2019s just hard work. We\u2019ve been working to make it harder than last camp so that I can keep getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar Figueroa Jr. (training in Weslaco, Texas) \u2013 \u201cEverything is going well. This is one of the best camps we\u2019ve had. We\u2019re excited for a great fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Estrada (training in Mexico City, Mexico) \u2013 \u201cI have been working very hard for the past five weeks. I\u2019ve been running around 4 a.m. in the high altitude of Mexico along with my team that includes Juan Manuel Marquez, Ignacio \u2018Nacho\u2019 Beristain and Raul de Anda, and to know I am receiving the advice of one of the greats in the sport [Marquez] gives me the peace of mind that I am doing the right thing for this upcoming fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deontay Wilder (training in Tuscaloosa, Ala.) \u2013 \u201cEverything has been going as planned. This has probably been one of the shortest training camps I\u2019ve had. That thrills me though. A lot of fighters claim to be athletes, but on the night of the fight I\u2019ll show exactly how athletic and ready I am. I\u2019ve been missing the ring and I\u2019m ready to get back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jorge Linares (training in Las Vegas) \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m very happy not only because I have a fight coming up, but also because I\u2019m at home once again. I\u2019ve been training with Ismael Salas for two years now and I feel like I\u2019m at home here, so everything is going great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: We\u2019re less than a week from fight night. How are you feeling physically?<\/p>\n

A: Shawn Porter \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m in the best shape of my life, but I always try to stay prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kell Brook \u2013 \u201cMentally strong, and physically ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sakio Bika \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m feeling very good, I\u2019m ready to defend my belt. Everything has been great in St. Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Dirrell \u2013 \u201cGreat, if I\u2019m not ready by now then I\u2019m not ready. I feel ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar Figueroa Jr. \u2013 \u201cI honestly feel like I\u2019m in the best shape I\u2019ve ever been in. I only took a week and a half off after my last fight. So I\u2019ve been super active ever since I started training for my last fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deontay Wilder \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m good to go. I\u2019m always in shape. I\u2019m always in the gym. I treat boxing like my nine to five. Others may not take it seriously, but this is a sport where you can get hurt if you don\u2019t protect yourself and take it seriously. So I\u2019m always tuned up and ready to go for my fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jorge Linares \u2013 \u201c[Fight night] It\u2019s basically here, so I\u2019m excited and feeling well. I\u2019ll be on weight and ready to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: Has your game plan stayed consistent, or has it evolved since you started camp?<\/p>\n

A: Shawn Porter \u2013 \u201cIt stayed consistent. We always train hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kell Brook \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s always been the same. We\u2019ve been training 100 percent the whole way through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sakio Bika \u2013 \u201cKevin [Cunningham] and I always do the same thing. He keeps me positive, focused and working very hard to get ready for Aug.16.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Dirrell \u2013 \u201cWe\u2019re working on some of the same strategies and some different ones, but they\u2019re old things that I know will work on Aug. 16.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar Figueroa Jr. \u2013 \u201cWe\u2019ve changed a few things just because we want to try to encompass everything. We work on boxing, brawling, speed and movement. Hopefully it all comes together for me at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deontay Wilder \u2013 \u201cThis is boxing, and this is the heavyweight division. So you can\u2019t take anyone lightly. I\u2019m not treating this like a warm-up. My main focus is fighting for a title, but I\u2019m not looking past my opponent on Aug. 16.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: What have you been doing to pass the time when you are not in the gym?<\/p>\n

A: Shawn Porter \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m normally at home relaxing, and I love going to the movies too. You can usually find me at one of the two.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kell Brook \u2013 \u201cI rest and sometimes I like to have a walk down the strip. It\u2019s nothing too strenuous though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sakio Bika \u2013 \u201cWe go to the movies, or I\u2019ll go to the mall and try to walk around and keep busy. This is not the craziest city, so there aren\u2019t a lot of distractions. That makes this a great place to train.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Dirrell \u2013 \u201cI like to play games. We\u2019ve got a gaming system, and we go to the movies. We don\u2019t do anything too big though because the focus has to stay on the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar Figueroa Jr. \u2013 \u201cI have my daughter with me almost every day. So I spend a lot of time with her. I also play video games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deontay Wilder \u2013 \u201cI love the water. So I swim a lot. I get massages. We go to the movies and I spend time with my kids. I\u2019m traveling a little bit too. It\u2019s tough to fit everything in, but I\u2019m love being a father and I love being around my kids. However, even when I\u2019m away from the gym my mind is focused on boxing. I\u2019m always working on things and trying to figure out how to get the world title. I\u2019m so ready to go for the title fight that I shouldn\u2019t even need a training camp. I\u2019ll have one, but I feel like I\u2019m prepared right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: In terms of diet, are you doing anything specific during this camp?<\/p>\n

A: Shawn Porter \u2013 \u201cNope, we know what works and we know what got us here. We stick to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kell Brook \u2013 \u201cNot really, I\u2019ve just been sticking to it and staying in great health.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sakio Bika \u2013 \u201cNo, I\u2019m not doing anything special really. I eat what I want to eat, but I eat clean. I never have to cut much weight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Dirrell \u2013 \u201cNo, I\u2019m eating the same things as always. I don\u2019t have a problem with weight. I\u2019m careful with what I eat, but I can eat what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar Figueroa Jr. \u2013 \u201cYes, this camp has been totally different. It has to do with me maturing as an athlete. I\u2019m closely following my diet plan. I\u2019m eating every three hours, and I\u2019m avoiding sodium and carbs. I\u2019m surprising myself this time around. I got myself in line because this is for the good of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deontay Wilder \u2013 \u201cNo, not really. As a heavyweight I can basically eat anything. But I have a high metabolism as well so that helped. I just try to make sure to eat the right things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jorge Linares \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m right on weight. I feel good and even though this fight is not at my regular weight of 135 pounds, I feel very good. Whoever can\u2019t make weight with the extreme heat here in Las Vegas, has serious issues. Thankfully, I feel very good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: What is the one thing you can\u2019t eat during training that you miss most?<\/p>\n

A: Shawn Porter \u2013 \u201cI stay away from most things actually. My diet is typically just clean, organic food with lots of vegetables.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kell Brook \u2013 \u201cThere\u2019s no one thing really, I just try to eat healthy all around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sakio Bika \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s not about food for me. The one thing I don\u2019t have in training camp is my family and my friends. Here in training camp I don\u2019t have anyone, and I miss the people that are closest to me. I miss having breakfast and dinner with my family. But I know this is business. I\u2019m here to train. I know in a couple of weeks and I can see those important people again, and they understand what I\u2019m doing here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Dirrell \u2013 \u201cNo sweets!\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar Figueroa Jr. \u2013 \u201cI feel like I\u2019m a pregnant lady with some of the cravings I\u2019ve been having. Lately I\u2019ve been wanting gummy bears, and pork rinds \u2013 stuff that I don\u2019t even eat normally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deontay Wilder \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m staying away from the fried foods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: What is your biggest motivation while training?<\/p>\n

A: Shawn Porter \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s all about the prize. I know what\u2019s to come and where I\u2019m headed. The outcome is what motivates me to put on a great performance for the fans on fight night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kell Brook \u2013 \u201cI like to prove people wrong and challenging myself. My family helps a lot too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sakio Bika \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s about family first because I have to come here and work hard to provide for them. I love what I\u2019m doing, and I love boxing. At the end of the day it\u2019s about coming here so that I can put food on the table. That\u2019s why I wake up early in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Dirrell \u2013 \u201cMy two-year-old son motivates me to make a better life for him and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar Figueroa Jr. \u2013 \u201cMy family is most important, and the kind of lifestyle that I\u2019m able to offer my whole family means a lot to me. I want to look out for my parents and my brothers too. I want to be able to give them the lifestyle that they\u2019ve always wanted. I\u2019m prioritizing things like my daughter\u2019s college fund too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Estrada \u2013 \u201cI have been waiting for this opportunity for almost a year. I\u2019ve been the mandatory challenger for a while, but for some reason I couldn\u2019t get the fight for the title. Now the opportunity is here and I am very positive I will become a World Champion on August 16.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deontay Wilder \u2013 \u201cMy motivations is fighting for a world title. I need to go into the ring and take care of my opponent on Aug. 16. I have to fight to win and succeed in order to provide for my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: What is your typical training day like during this camp?<\/p>\n

A: Shawn Porter \u2013 \u201cMy day starts with a 7 a.m. training session on the track that takes about an hour. Then I rest before heading to the gym to box from around 1\u2013 4 p.m. Then I relax for a bit before heading for a massage and maybe an ice bath. I also like to work in some basketball on certain days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kell Brook \u2013 \u201cIt all depends really. I start with a run in the morning. Then we do strength and condition. I spar in the afternoon, and then we do some technique work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sakio Bika \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s six days a week. I wake up at 6 a.m. and run. Then I eat breakfast. After that I go to gym, and at noon I work with Kevin and spar. We finish up around 4p.m. and then I rest. Later I eat dinner and go to bed early.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Dirrell \u2013 \u201cI wake up at 6:30 a.m. We train hard in the morning, and then I rest for a bit. Then we go to gym to box and spar. Later in the evening we do strength and conditioning training before bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar Figueroa Jr. \u2013 \u201cRight now I\u2019m back to two times a day, but at the beginning of camp, I trained three times a day. I wake up and go to the gym around 11 a.m. I have insomnia so I go to the gym a little later. I start with strength and conditioning. Then we do boxing around 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. We finish up with a night run around 11 p.m.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deontay Wilder \u2013 \u201cWe hit the bags for a couple of rounds and listen to some old school funk why we get warmed up. Then, I hit the heavy bags for a couple of rounds and we do uppercut work. Every day is different though. Sometimes we switch things up and will keep things as exciting as possible. The same thing every day gets boring, so we like to change it up and keep it fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

While each fighter has similar tendencies training, each pugilist has their own story. Please see additional questions below.<\/p>\n

SHAWN PORTER<\/p>\n

Q: Has Vegas become your favorite place to train?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cI love to mix it up and go to different cities sometimes to train, but top to bottom I\u2019d say Vegas is the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: What makes Vegas so appealing as a backdrop for training?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cThis being home now makes everything that much easier. Nothing\u2019s complicated and I\u2019m able to keep it easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: You\u2019re obviously coming off of a smashing KO win against Paulie Malignaggi this past April. Can you describe how the aftermath of that fight impacted your approach to this camp?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cMore than anything, it made me realize that I need to put on another spectacular performance this time around so that I can get what\u2019s coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: Kell Brook is going to be the first Brit you\u2019ve faced professionally. Do you expect anything different from him stylistically, and are you preparing differently for him?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cNo, nothing specific. There\u2019s nothing too complicated or unorthodox about his style. So I didn\u2019t need to bring in any kind of specialist to spar, or plan for anything too different.\u201d<\/p>\n

KELL BROOK<\/p>\n

Q: You\u2019ve talked about your familiarity with fighting in the U.S. once previously in Atlantic City, and you mentioned how fighting outside of England might actually lessen your stress level heading into the biggest fight of your career. Would you elaborate a bit on that and why you\u2019ll be so comfortable fighting for a title in Carson, Calif.?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cI\u2019m confident because I\u2019ve been here before and I\u2019m very well prepared. I have my family with me too. When I box at home in front of eight or nine thousand people who know me there\u2019s a little more pressure. When I come over here it can be easier to focus on the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: You made the trip to the U.S. for this fight on July 30. How was the travel, and do you think that finishing up the last two weeks of your training in the U.S. prepared you as well as your training regimen back home?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cYep, I travel well, and I\u2019m in good company. They keep me smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ready now though. We\u2019ve just been putting in work and now it\u2019s all about enjoying this and being ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: This will be your third professional bout against an American fighter, but both of your previous two were against Carson Jones. From your experience in those two fights, and from watching video of other U.S. fighters, do you notice anything different stylistically about U.S. fighters, and does that change your preparation in training camp at all?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cI believe I can adapt to any style. I\u2019ve been sparring with some American fighters. They do have some unique things about their style. But the best fighters know how to adapt, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ll do.\u201d<\/p>\n

SAKIO BIKA<\/p>\n

Q: Are you preparing differently for Dirrell this time around?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cI\u2019m not going to change too much. I\u2019m coming out to fight. I don\u2019t want to run around and chase him. I\u2019m going to show Anthony that I\u2019m ready to do exactly what I\u2019ve always done: to make people happy to see me fight. If he wants to take my belt off of me he better come prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: Is there one specific element of Dirrell\u2019s repertoire that you\u2019re working especially hard in camp to combat better when you meet this Saturday?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cThe main thing I have to do is keep working hard every day and getting my rest when I can. I\u2019ll be ready for Anthony. I always come to fight. I\u2019m sure that I\u2019m doing everything the way that I\u2019m supposed to. And I\u2019m training hard with my team so that I can defend and retain my belt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: How, if at all, do you think fighting him at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. will differ from the fight you had at Barclays Center?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cNot at all because I\u2019ve fought before in an open arena, and I\u2019ve fought in California before too. Anywhere they put a ring, in a shopping mall, a movie theater, I can fight anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

ANTHONY DIRRELL<\/p>\n

Q: Are you preparing differently for Bika this time around?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cIt\u2019s basically the same, just tweaking a few things here and there really.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: Is there one specific element of Bika\u2019s repertoire that you\u2019re working especially hard in camp to combat better when you meet on Aug. 16?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cNot really, he\u2019s going to be the same fighter. I\u2019ll stick to my game plan and fight my fight, and he\u2019ll do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: How, if at all, do you think fighting him at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. will differ from the fight you had at Barclays Center?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cIt makes no real difference. A ring is a ring. It\u2019s going to be one on one no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

OMAR FIGUEROA JR.<\/p>\n

Q: You decided to make some changes to your training regimen coming into this camp. You\u2019re now training with your father instead of Joel Diaz, and you\u2019ve moved your training back home to Weslaco, Texas. Can you talk about why you decided to change things up?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cIt\u2019s just because of my daughter. I see her every day now. It was very hard for me to leave and not be able to see her. That\u2019s a big part of why I had to get my act in line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: After you had your April fight at StubHub Center, did you learn anything from that experience that may have altered your training now that you\u2019ll be returning there?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cDefinitely, the April fight wasn\u2019t a hard fight. It wasn\u2019t as physical as I\u2019m used to fighting. The biggest thing was keeping my weight where it needs to be heading into this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

DANIEL ESTRADA<\/p>\n

Q: Are you excited for your first opportunity to fight professionally in the U.S.?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cI am planning to take advantage of all the things I did in the gym. All the sacrifices will be paid back with a positive outcome on Saturday. I know I did the right things in training, and we have the right strategy at the gym, so there will be no excuses whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

DEONTAY WILDER<\/p>\n

Q: Your dominance in the ring has been well documented. With none of your professional opponents making it past the fourth round, do you ever feel like it\u2019s a struggle for you to stay disciplined and train?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cDiscipline is a mental thing, and I\u2019m mentally strong. All of the hard work is in the gym and with the sparring. When it\u2019s time to actually fight that\u2019s the easy part, and it\u2019s more fun actually. But it\u2019s not hard for me to stay disciplined at all. I\u2019ve changed lots of things regarding my style. I\u2019m more patient now. I\u2019m definitely a thinker now and that maturity helps me. People will find out that I\u2019m a different kind of guy. They\u2019ll see when I become the heavyweight champ just how disciplined I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: How do you handle training for an opponent yet to be named, and how does that uncertainty impact your training?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cCamp has been the same as always. We\u2019re not looking past August 16, but we know to prepare for Stiverne. That\u2019s how confident I am in my ability and skills. I\u2019m not worried about people picking the \u2018right guy\u2019 for me. I would be the laughing stock of the world if I had the title fight lined up and lost this fight on August 16. So I just have to get the job done next week and we\u2019ll go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

JORGE LINARES<\/p>\n

Q: Do you believe that you have a distinct advantage going into your fight thist week?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cI always think positively, you have to jump in the ring thinking like a winner. I trust my training, my trainer and my corner. We don\u2019t have any negativity at all. We feel good and prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: Are you feeling the pressure of needing to secure a win h in order to get a shot at a world title?<\/p>\n

A: \u201cIt\u2019s obligatory; I have to win on Saturday, without a doubt. There\u2019s no thinking about losing, I have to get a good win this week and then we\u2019ll look for that world title. Winning that world title is the only thing present on my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
