I fight the toughest and top guys, I come to fight every time. Thanks to Amir Khan for taking a challenge\u2026A lot of my UK fans want me to beat Amir Khan. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening over there, but thanks for the support guys.<\/p>\n<p>Keith Thurman: I would really like to be fighting Amir Khan or Devon Alexander, but that\u2019s not going to happen this time. But I told my team, it doesn\u2019t matter where you get him from, I just want to fight undefeated guys. I like fighting undefeated fighters, I don\u2019t know how many it\u2019s been, I\u2019m just going through them. Leonard Bundu is an Olympian, I\u2019m excited to showcase my skills against an Olympian. It\u2019s one time, every time. KOs for life. Don\u2019t blink.<\/p>\n<p>Leonard Bundu: I\u2019m super excited to be here, thanks to all for getting me here. I\u2019m here for some respect. I\u2019m 40 but I feel younger. As I age I get better.<\/p>\n<p>Abner Mares: I\u2019m very grateful to Golden Boy. I\u2019m the first fighter they took from pro debut to world champion. Yes I\u2019ve been a three-time world champ, but that\u2019s in the past. I\u2019m a future four-time world champion. Remember that. I\u2019m ready to give the fight fans an explosive show on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Ramirez: It\u2019s going to a hard tough battle against Abner Mares. Expect a war from both of us. Like the Mexican National Anthem says \u2018Mexicans ready for war\u2019 I\u2019m ready for a war against Abner Mares on Saturday!<\/p>\n<p>Jermall Charlo: Welcome to America Lenny. Know that there\u2019s nothing like American power.

We\u2019re starting over, thanks for all the support. I\u2019m sharing the podium with a lot of great fighters. I\u2019m ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>Errol Spence: I\u2019m thankful to be on this card. Everybody come out and see me perform.
