I\u2019m here as the co-main of a massive card and I\u2019m just really appreciative of everyone who believed in me and helped push me to this moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSaturday night I want to show my versatility. Everyone has seen that I\u2019m electrifying. I bring the action. But I want to show that I am swift and I do have defense. I know how to use my height and range. I\u2019m still going to bring the action on Saturday, so you have to make sure to tune-in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t think of Welborn as a tune-up fight. Jason Welborn is a British champion for a reason. We just want to go out there and establish the game plan we worked on in camp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to show my defensive side and show that I can box and move. I want to show that I don\u2019t have to just keep coming forward. I\u2019m going to be able to do that and start to break him down and get him out of there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody sees my demeanor, and they know that I carry that to the ring. My composure is my biggest attribute. No matter what anyone says, I\u2019m always going to be me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m number one in the division and things are going to play out how I want them. We\u2019ve had three tough camps training for southpaws. When I eventually fight (WBC champion) Jermell Charlo, I\u2019m going to be ready because of all the work on my versatility and defense. I\u2019ll be ready for Jermell Charlo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to be an active champion because I didn\u2019t have a lot of amateur fights. I need to stay in the ring and get all the experience I can. I want to get these good fights in while I\u2019m still young and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m back from my surgery and we\u2019re going to get back to the old Jarrett Hurd. I\u2019m going to show everyone all that I can do. Everyone knows that there\u2019s always going to be action. It\u2019s going to be a wonderful fight on a wonderful card. Don\u2019t blink during this one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>JASON WELBORN<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a dream come true to be here today. Hurd has worked his way up to get here just like I have. Right now, he\u2019s in my way. I hope everyone enjoys what I bring to the table on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have the belief that I\u2019m born and bred for this game and I\u2019m going to show it to the whole world on Saturday night. I always prove people wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last two years I\u2019ve become the best in Britain and beaten everyone they put in front of me. When people doubt me, I train even harder. I\u2019m coming to win and I\u2019ve got nothing to lose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to get what I deserve and I\u2019ll do it on Saturday night. I\u2019ve already been through the storm. He\u2019s got what I want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got to enjoy the fight and get what I want. He can look past me all he wants, but once he feels what I bring to the table, we\u2019ll see how he reacts. I\u2019m ready for whatever he\u2019s going to bring to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>LUIS ORTIZ<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank everyone who has helped me get this opportunity. I like to do my talking in the ring, but I\u2019m happy that Travis Kauffman stepped up. A lot of heavyweights haven\u2019t done that and I\u2019m glad we can make this fight happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m coming to do my job. This is a heavyweight fight and we know that means one punch can change everything. It\u2019s not going to end well for Travis on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are 10 rounds to get the job done, and three minutes per round. I\u2019m going to get my job done. The job is to seek and destroy. So I hope that Travis is very prepared to give the fans a great show. Saturday night you\u2019ll see \u2018King Kong\u2019 in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve pushed myself even harder than ever in training camp. We\u2019re sticking with the same game plan of family first and I believe I will be rewarded. My five-year-old boy reminds me that I have a loss and that motivates me to train harder and harder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI expect Travis to have the great confidence he\u2019s showing. It\u2019s a great chance for him and I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be motivated. I\u2019m motivated for every fight, because it\u2019s not just about my opponent. My goal is to provide for my family and Travis is in the way. I\u2019ve never deterred from that mentality and it\u2019s got me ready for Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>T<em><strong>RAVIS KAUFFMAN<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thankful to Luis Ortiz for taking this fight. Everybody is afraid to fight him, but I\u2019m not afraid of anyone. We all know that Luis Ortiz can punch, but I don\u2019t care about any of that. It\u2019s my time. I come from a rough background and I won\u2019t back down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my time. There\u2019s nothing that\u2019s going to stop me from taking this guy down. He\u2019s so worried about Deontay Wilder, but he has to worry about me before he gets any rematch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou might not know who I am right now, but you will after Saturday night. I\u2019m going to make sure people remember my name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLuis Ortiz is very skilled, but if you want to be the best you have to fight the best. No one actually wants to step up and take this fight, but I really believe this is my time. I bring some heat in the ring and I come to fight every time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>JOE JOYCE<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited to be on this massive card. I\u2019m going to give the whole world a treat as part of a great event. You have to tune-in and watch me start the show off right on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraining in Big Bear has been a perfect environment for me. It\u2019s in the mountains, it has the altitude and it\u2019s secluded. I\u2019ve seen what goes into their training camps and worked alongside the best in the world. They\u2019ve helped me install the kind of style that will have me at my best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have the Olympic pedigree, but now it\u2019s about advancing the brute strength and really getting the perfect snap on my shots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSparring against Tyson Fury was really top-level work. I know that it\u2019s made me a better fighter. He\u2019s looking fit and strong and it shows when you\u2019re in the ring with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great opportunity. Abel Sanchez has done a tremendous job getting me ready for this position. I\u2019m excited to show everyone my skills and everything I\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m glad that Joe Hanks decided to take this fight. I can\u2019t wait to lace up the gloves and get the party started. I\u2019m going to keep my knockout streak going and I guarantee it\u2019s going to be exciting\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>JOE HANKS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming for this moment. I\u2019m thankful to my team and I\u2019m excited to be on this card with other great heavyweights. It\u2019s a great time to be a heavyweight. I\u2019m ready to put my name in the ring to have the chance to really do something special with a great performance Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work has been done. I did everything that I had to do. I\u2019ve done more than I did preparing for my past fights. Being the underdog doesn\u2019t mean much to me. I\u2019m from Newark, New Jersey, and we\u2019re all underdogs there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve put the time in and I\u2019ve had everyone supporting me and pushing me and I think it\u2019s going to get me over the hump. I\u2019m just really excited to get in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports &amp; Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we talk about Jarrett Hurd, he\u2019s a fighter who has seemingly come out of nowhere and has had an incredibly rapid rise to the top. He was not a decorated amateur. He has learned on the job. All he has done since beating Oscar Molina in 2016 is impress. He is recognized as one of the bright young stars in boxing. He has been off due to injury and certainly could have taken an easier fight than Jason Welborn, who is a British Commonwealth champion. We\u2019re expecting an action fight there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLuis Ortiz is one of the top heavyweights in the world. He has one blemish on his otherwise perfect record, a loss to Deontay Wilder. Perhaps Ortiz was just seconds away from victory. We talk about a slim margin in fights, that was the slimmest of margins. I think he is going to be trying to make a statement on the undercard that he deserves a rematch against Deontay Wilder. Standing in his way will be Travis Kauffman. This is another all-action fight filled with big punchers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our opening bout, we have one of the most talked-about rising young heavyweights in the sport \u2013 Joe Joyce, who is taking on a tough veteran in Joe Hanks. As we know, the heavyweight division has been the focus more in the last six to nine months than we\u2019ve seen in the last couple decades. Joe Joyce is at the top of the list on the potential next wave of future stars. He is certainly not wasting any time taking on a fighter of Joe Hanks\u2019 caliber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at the card overall, you\u2019ve got some of the biggest punchers in boxing. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we see several knockouts on this card. Don\u2019t miss the action.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AdSense-A] Fighters competing on Saturday\u2019s PPV undercard headlined by the heavyweight championship showdown between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury went face-to-face on Thursday at the final press conference before they enter the ring on SHOWTIME PPV\u00ae from STAPLES Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
