“We have a new gym, and we love it, it’s our new home. The facilities are great and there’s more room and new rings. It’s always a pleasure being in camp because Joel Diaz and the team – we’re one big family.
 
“We joke around and mess around, but we get great work in, we have our own language in the gym with broken English, Spanish, Uzbek and Russian, all mixed up. It’s fun but that’s because we work so hard that we make sure we enjoy ourselves when the work is done. We eat, sleep and drink boxing, the discipline is second to none.”
 
Akhmadaliev’s clash with Velazquez is part of a quadruple header of World title action in New Hampshire, topped by Demetrius Andrade (30-0 18 KOs) defending his WBO World Middleweight title against Ireland’s Jason Quigley (19-1 14 KOs).
