Oscar “El Pupilo” Collazo,
“I want to thank everyone at Golden Boy, Miguel Cotto Promotions, DAZN and everyone who helped make it happen to come back to the Coachella Valley where I first got my belts. Vayson has fought a lot of good opposition and comes with a lot of hunger, and I know will come to fight.”
Jayson “Striker” Vayson, Minimumweight World Title Contender:
“It’s the first time I am fighting in the United States, and I can’t wait to show the world what I am made of and that I am a true warrior of the Philippines. We are prepared to show our best in the ring. I will not waste this opportunity and the chance to become a World Champion.”
Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora, Undisputed World Champion:
“Talk is cheap. Let’s see what she can bring on Saturday.”
“My nickname is Sweet Poison for a reason. I’m sweet outside the ring and when Saturday comes, there will be poison inside of the ring.”
“Coca-Cola doesn’t give away it’s secrets, and I won’t be giving away mine.”
“The Fundora name is associated with knockouts, and that’s what fans should expect on Saturday.”
Alexas “Iron Lady” Kubicki, Top Flyweight World Title Contender:
“It’s not a question of IF I win, it’s WHEN I win on Saturday night. When I win on Saturday night, I WILL break her record to become the youngest undisputed world champion. I have been putting in the work, and I will be taking back those belts back to Edmonton.”
