“I was missing fights. The first stage of camp we had in Ivano-Frankivsk. We have been there for two weeks and here we are the second week, at sparring. Now I understand that I am a world champion and I am obliged to show more and more results in order to gain a foothold in this weight class and unify the belts. You know, because of the title, I have a lot of things to do. I need to show good boxing.

“In the ring, everything will be visible. The fight will show what I’ve been working on. The training process is a closed area, and in the ring everything will be seen. LeBron is a good boxer, he’s experienced, he has 26 fights, 16 knockouts. His record is not bad and the advantage is that he ranked third in WBA ranking. True, he is 35 or 36 years old. He is aged boxer, but also he has more experience than me. There is no difference from which country he is. There are good boxers in different countries. Well, we are preparing specifically for him already,” said Dalakian.
