\"\"<\/a>The Ali Trophy 118lb QF and WBO World Championship – Zolani Tete vs Mikhail Aloyan – and the 200 lb QF and IBF Eliminator – Ruslan Fayfer vs Andrew Tabiti – will be contested this Saturday at the Ekaterinburg Expo in Ekaterinburg, Russia.<\/p>\n

All four fighters were in confident mood at Thursday\u2019s press conference in Ekaterinburg, Russia\u2019s fourth-largest city and the cultural center of the Urals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am in good shape, ready for the fight,\u201d said South Africa\u2019s Zolani Tete (27-3, 21 KOs), the WBO World Champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a world champion you must be ready to adjust and adapt, so whatever Aloyan will be bringing I will adjust and take him out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Mikhail Aloyan (4-0) is hoping the home advantage will give him the edge over Tete.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we are fighting in Ekaterinburg will bring out the best in me. I am ready for the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

His countryman Ruslan Fayfer (23-0, 16 KOs) is relying on his greater experience to beat American Andrew ‘The Beast’ Tabiti (16-0, 13 KOs).<\/p>\n

\u201cI have more experience than Tabiti,\u201d said Fayfer. \u201cI am not going to reveal anything, I will show everything during the fight. Everything you should see you will see on Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tabiti was diametrically opposite in his answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m on my A-game,\u201d he said. \u201cI came here for the W, nothing else. I am going to knock this guy out!\u201d<\/p>\n
