Here is what Spence and James had to say Tuesday:<\/p>\n
ERROL SPENCE JR.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt feels good to be fighting back at home in Dallas. This is where I started and where my core fan base is. It\u2019s great to fight in front of my people and even better that I can do it as a world champion now.<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to make my first title defense in Dallas, but everything happens for a reason and now I have this great opportunity to fight at the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 facility. It\u2019s an incredible venue that has everything you would want. It\u2019s going to be a great atmosphere on June 16.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re working hard on our game plan and sharpening our skills in camp to make sure I\u2019m the best version of myself when I step into the ring against Ocampo.<\/p>\n \u201cTiming is key in boxing. It\u2019s more important than speed and it\u2019s something I really focus on when I\u2019m training. It\u2019s timing and accuracy. You can be fast but if you don\u2019t land, it doesn\u2019t mean anything.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a versatile fighter who is able to switch it up. I can box from the outside but also go on the inside. These are things that we\u2019re always working on in the gym. Our opponent may bring something different than we expected into the ring, so we work on having a plan for everything.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s great to have another world champion like Jermell Charlo in camp with me. Iron sharpens iron and we just work hard every day so that we can push each other to the next level. All of that helps me become victorious.<\/p>\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I have one skill that sticks out the most in my arsenal. I\u2019m a balanced boxer who can do everything. I can jab, throw a combo and show strong defense. I balance all of the attributes you need in the ring and that\u2019s what makes me a great boxer.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been putting this division on notice for a while. June 16 is another day that we\u2019re going to give another one-sided performance and dominate. I\u2019ve had the welterweight division on notice since my first fight. They know I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n \u201cWhoever wins the fight between Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter for the WBC title will have to fight me. I\u2019m ready to unify. I\u2019m ready to take the belt from either one of those guys.\u201d<\/p>\n DERRICK JAMES, Spence\u2019s Trainer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cErrol is an incredibly hard worker in the gym and he always has been. We\u2019re just making sure he\u2019s on task and able to be peaking on June 16. I have no worries that he\u2019s going to be distracted by fighting at home.<\/p>\n \u201cThere can definitely be a lot of distractions at home, but Errol is determined and I know he has the mentality that will allow him to put on his best performance. We\u2019ve been preparing for anything Ocampo could possibly bring to the ring.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight. This night is all about our community and giving everyone here something to cheer about. The city has indicated that they\u2019re really coming out to support Errol and he\u2019s going to reward them.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we keep putting in the work like we have been, everything is going to come naturally on fight night. We\u2019ve taken a look at what Ocampo likes to do and we\u2019ll be ready. At the end of the day, I think Errol is going to put on a great performance for this city.\u201d<\/p>\n
