Below is what they had to say:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KELL BROOK<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to rock Sheffield on Saturday night. I\u2019m ready, I\u2019m pumped, I can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot of pressure but I always perform better under pressure. I\u2019m meant to be on the big stage, I\u2019m ready for the pressure and to see the bright lights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Errol Spence] is a serious dude from America, he\u2019s a young hungry lion, but he\u2019s not beaten anyone like me. I\u2019m a champion and I\u2019ve been a champion. I\u2019m defending. I know both sides of the coin, I\u2019ve prepared very well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready for a war. And that\u2019s what you\u2019re going to see \u2013 a war Saturday night. There are going to be two winners Saturday night: that is going to be myself and everyone watching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no way he can beat me. I\u2019m a man possessed and I have a serious job to do. This is my night to shine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love it [being the underdog]. I was born for it. People don\u2019t have me winning this fight, but that just gives me the extra energy I need to go out and prove them all wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis guy is a talented guy, but he\u2019s never been tested. He\u2019s never been in with someone who is so determined like me. Who\u2019s bigger, stronger, who has all this energy, who\u2019s meant for this game, who\u2019s meant to be a winner. He hasn\u2019t been in with someone with that mindset, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m coming to bring on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the hard work has been done. The talking will stop; we\u2019re ready to let some fireworks fly now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can see us both maybe hitting the canvas. You\u2019re going to be on the edge of your seat from round one. He\u2019s not going to take a backwards step, and I\u2019m not [either]. All I can say is it\u2019s going to be a thriller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve arrived. It\u2019s a dream come true. It\u2019s going to be so perfect for me that night to walk out and just see everyone. The electricity is going to be phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ERROL SPENCE JR.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my time, this is my era. This is my time to shine. This is my time to get the belts, this is my time to unify and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. This is just another stepping stone to get to where I want to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m 100 percent prepared, I\u2019m 100 percent focused, and I\u2019m 100 percent ready to give the fans what they want, which is a real great fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t let the fans get to me. I\u2019m not worried about him having his hometown fans. Eventually everyone will be my fans by the end of the night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t feel the pressure at all. I feel like there is more pressure on him because he\u2019s fighting at home. Of course there\u2019s pressure on me to win, but I welcome that pressure. It\u2019s going to do nothing but motivate me, make me more hungry and make we want to win even more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just have to have that \u2018it\u2019 factor, and I think I have it. I\u2019m not worried about the crowd, I\u2019m not worried about the boos or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a good step-up. Kell Brook is a good fighter, he has great skills. I welcome this step-up \u2013 I\u2019ve been asking for it for a long time and I\u2019m finally getting my opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy confidence comes from my hard work. I know the hours and time that I put in the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an ideal situation. I would be disappointed if I was fighting someone else because he vacated. I\u2019m a real fighter, I want to fight the best, I want to fight the champion and earn it the right way. I can\u2019t wait to prove I am one of the best fighters in the welterweight division.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been on the USA team for a long time. As an amateur, representing U.S. in the Olympics and as a pro having this USA patch on me and fighting for my country. I feel Saturday is kind of like a USA vs UK battle. And U.S.A. is going to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yi0-nkQ_0dg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kell Brook will make his fourth IBF Welterweight World Title defense against U.S. star Errol Spence Jr. at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England this Saturday May 27, live on SHOWTIME (5:15 p.m. ET\/2:15 p.m. PT).
