Edgar Berlanga
What’s the message behind the Tottenham Hotspur jersey you’re wearing?
“It’s my favorite team. I love them. I wanted to make sure his people knew it.”
What’s going to happen on fight night?
“Saturday night is going to have fireworks. I’m ready and locked in. I’m ready to f*** this dude up.”
Why do you believe you’re on a different level than Hamzah Sheeraz?
“He’s easy work and I’m going to show it. That style from London doesn’t work over here. You saw what I did to Jason Quigley. We’re going to go in there, get gritty and take him to the trenches.
How do you see Saturday playing out?
“I’m going to go in there and hurt him. I don’t really like to predict rounds, but I’m locked in. It’s going to be a spectacular night and we’re coming out victorious.”
Hamzah Sheeraz
What are your feelings after the face-off and ahead of the fight?
“We’re feeling good, feeling ready. Right now, it’s just about enjoying it, going with the gameplan and getting it on tomorrow night.”
How have you kept your focus on Edgar Berlanga?
“Doing what I do. I’ve kept myself from getting emotionally involved and remaining confident in the work that I’ve done.”
Final message to Edgar Berlanga and your fans?
“Be ready to tune into a great fight.”
Frank Warren, Queensberry Promotions
What do you think about the matchup?
“I think it’s a great fight, that’s what we made the fight. We’re here to win it. He’s cool, calm, and collected. All he needs to do in the ring is continue that, remain composed, and it’s his fight.”
What are you looking for out of your fighter?
“I expect fireworks. No excuses about the weight. A good Hamzah is a really good, quality fighter. I’m telling you that he can do this. He’s a hurtful, spiteful, puncher, and we’ll see if the other guy can take that.”

Shakur Stevenson
How are you feeling 24 hours away from Saturday?
“Honestly, I’m prepared and ready. I try not to think about the future, I try to remain in the present. Right now, we’re at the weigh-ins. Mentally, I’m ready, but I’m not worried about tomorrow. I’m having fun.”
Why are you confident your style will beat Zepeda?
“I’m confident because I put the work in. I know I’ve put the work in since I’ve been here. This is my dream and my destiny. These people can’t take this away from me.”
What kind of message are you sending with your Tom and Jerry hat?
“Jerry is going to kick Tom’s a**, just like he’s been kicking his a** the whole series.”
William Zepeda
What he’s feeling one day away from the fight
“I had a finger lifted up to me, that’s disrespect. Disrespect to my family. We’re here and we’re ready.”
What’s your final message to Shakur Stevenson?
“Tomorrow we’ll give you the receipts.”
