Quotes corner

Chris Eubank Jr: “I have probably seen about five minutes of my opponent because of the late change, but I will watch some more of him and get through him again," Eubank Jr said.

“I don’t even actually have a gameplay to take on this opponent right now because I don’t really know much about him.

“The chin does not move for anybody, I have sparred heavyweights and never been knocked out, so this guy is going to have a rough night.

“I have never looked past any opponent, it is a process.

“I have had Covid recently and just as I returned I suffered from another illness as well as personal issues so I have had to rebuild physically and mentally and this is the perfect opponent for me at this stage of my career.

“I have to make statements every time I go in the ring, and it will be interesting to see how things affect me but I am confident.

Anatoli Muratov: "I will show it in the ring [how I beat him]. I’ve fought twice in the last three months and I’m in shape. A win on Saturday will open some big fights for me. You can knock anybody out when you get the right punch.”
