Participants of Friday boxing show WBC light heavyweight World title-holder Canadian Adonis Stevenson (27-1, 22 KOs) and challenger from USA Thomas Williams Jr. (20-1, 14 KOs) made their last pre-fight claimes at the final press conference before a clash on Spike TV which will take place in Quebec City, Canada.
Adonis Stevenson: “Welcome to Québec City Thomas. I saw your fight against Edwin Rodriguez. It was a nice performance with a beautiful KO. When I saw that bout, I told myself I wanted that fight with you. I knew I was going to be motivated. I know Williams hits hard and that he has a name now in the United States, but I keep the same Kronk Gym mentality Emmanuel Steward taught me: we go for the KO. It is also my daughter’s birthday and I want to get her a KO, I am motivated. That will be exciting…don’t blink!”
Thomas Williams: “You don’t know what I have been through to be here. Tweets, talks and predictions won’t mean nothing Friday night…..facts will. There will be a new champion!”
