What have they been saying?

James DeGale

“I’m still hungry. Obviously I’m getting older. I can’t do what I was doing at 22. No 10-mile runs or 40 rounds of sparring a week. I’m training smarter now and honestly I feel great. I can honestly say that.

"Boxers say that when they’re preparing for a fight, but I can honestly say I’m feeling fantastic. And I intend to put on a boxing masterclass.”

Chris Eubank Jr

“I have an amazing fan base. I also have an amazing amount of haters: believe who don’t believe, people who don’t want me to succeed. I don’t really mind having those people around.

"If anything it’s actually a good thing for me because it keeps me in the gym, keeps me working hard - knowing there are people out there who don’t want me to succeed.”
