| TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW FROM AXS.COM EDDIE HEARN “We are back in the U.S. to continue an incredible run with DAZN with this weekend to see if Diego Pacheco can continue his assault on his division in a fantastic night of boxing” “This Saturday we have a real special place in Los Angeles and the atmosphere is going to be incredible. In my opinion, Diego Pacheco can be the future of this division but a very tough test against Sulecki on Saturday headlining a tremendous card at the ‘War Grounds’. Don’t miss this Saturday as we continue to build to an unrivaled schedule to close out the year.” DIEGO PACHECO “Thank you to everyone who is here supporting this event and making it possible. I had a tremendous training camp from my debut at 17 to now 23 years old. I feel I have progressed a lot and super happy with how my training camp went and excited for this fight on Saturday. Sulecki is a tough guy and I’m looking forward to a war on Saturday. “I’m young in the sport, but if it was up to me, I feel I’m ready for anybody in the division. Sulecki is my main focus, and I feel confident about my fight Saturday and looking forward to putting on a great performance. I’ve dreamed my whole life that’s what I worked hard for and joined this sport for. “As a little kid I’ve been here so many times to support events. It’s a dream come true to be here headlining and I’m excited for LA to come out and show their support.” MACIEJ SULECKI “Thank you everyone here and for everyone giving me a chance and my team for giving me a great boxing camp. I know that I will be the best test for Pacheco, I know that he has time but now is not his time. Maybe he will be a World Champion, he does have the talent, but I know it’s my time now. I’m ready for him and I hope he’s ready for me, I know it will be a great fight. “I know I haven’t been in big boxing for awhile but I’m going to take him into the deep waters and drown him. I don’t think he’s ready.” JOSE BENAVIDEZ SR. (Pacheco’s trainer) “You are going to see a different Diego Pacheco this time. He’s had a great camp and what’s different is the motivation of his daughter and the family he has now. We have a great opponent for him and a guy that he needs to get to the next level. This is a big test and we have to look impressive.” AURELIANO SOSA (Sulecki’s trainer) “It’s been a great camp, we feel very confident. We’ve known Diego for a very long time, great guy. Coach Benavidez is great. I have nothing bad to say about them. They’re great coaches and great fighters, but we’re still here for a great fight. I know Pacheco is always ready and all that so the people are definitely going to see a great fight on August 31st. War you’re gonna see and war you’re gonna get. “Sulecki has been through wars, tough, tough wars that he survived all 12 rounds. Gave great fights and I believe this will be Diego’s biggest test.” EDUARDO NUNEZ “We are ready. I feel we’ve done everything right. I have a very good opponent in front of me. We’ve been working really hard with my team, who has accompanied me throughout my boxing career, but that doesn’t mean I’m taking things lightly. It is a must win fight for me on Saturday. “I know that we’ve got a really good opponent in front of us. We know that he’s very experienced, but I also know that this motivates me as well to learn from these experiences along the way. As you say, we need to win on Saturday. I also feel like I have the tools to put on a great performance which I will do on Saturday once again.” MIGUEL MARRIAGA “First thank you to everyone for giving me this opportunity. In this fight we know we are facing a tough boxer. We are coming into this fight hoping to get the victory. I know he’s a good fighter, but we are hoping it will be a good fight and a good event for the fans.” ARTURO CARDENAS “It’s true what you say, I’ve been really active and that won’t go against me. We’ll be completely ready for the 31st. We’ve put in some really hard work with my training team and with RGA boxing as well. As my opponent said it will be a great fight between two Mexican prospects.” JESUS ARECHIGA “We’re really happy, we’re extremely motivated, we’ve prepared really well, and we’re totally ready to put on a great show for the fans. I think it’s going to be a fantastic fight between two Mexican prospects.” CHEAVON CLARKE “First of all, I want to thank the people of Los Angeles for receiving me. It’s been great to finally be here in the U.S. I’m not with the chatting and lipping, that’s not my thing. Come Saturday night you all will see what I do. “If you check my record you’ll see that I’ve beaten guys better than him, so we’ll see come Saturday night.” EFETOBOR APOCHI “Thank you to everyone for showcasing this. I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time. I’ve never had a promoter and never had anybody put money behind me, I’ve been doing this all by myself. I have been training hard because I know I’m the most dangerous cruiserweight in the world. I am happy to be on this platform and grateful. Matchroom is one of the best promoters in boxing and I just want to say thank you for bringing me here. I’ve been watching them since I started boxing. “I’ve been cheering and rooting for Cheavon Clarke and watching his fights live – not on YouTube. Live. I really like you man and you’re a great fighter. A complete amateur standout. No disrespect to you, you have accomplished great things for your country, but today you are facing the greatest cruiserweight in the world. The underground king, yet to be crowned. Get ready.I wish you good luck.” ADELAIDA RUIZ “I’ve been in the game for many years, I know my skills. I’m not only a brawler, I can be a boxer, I can be everything. Everybody has seen what I’m capable of doing inside the ring… I’m keeping my belt on Saturday. “My fans, my friends, my family, everybody’s coming, and they know I put on a show. God first willing, I’m taking my belt back home with me.” GINNY FUCHS “I know the last time we talked [with Eddie Hearn] I wanted a world title shot with my next fight. I’ve been staying ready for the moment and opportunity, and I’ve been staying busy in the Team Combat League too. When you called me for this fight for the WBC belt, I agreed to it and I’m here to take it. “I’ve been frustrated waiting and seeing and trying to get a fight but wanted people to see my action and skill. The fact that I was called was a blessing and I’m glad I have this opportunity. I’m glad to be matched up against a top fighter and I don’t think she will be able to handle my speed and footwork. I’m ready to be in the ring with her Saturday night and show her my skills.” FABIAN ROJO “Thank you very much to my promoter, Matchroom and Eddie Hearn for giving me this opportunity and I’m very proud of what I’ve done myself so far in my career. I’m really looking forward to continuing doing what I’m doing.” ALEJANDRO FRIAS RODRIGUEZ “I’m ready to put on a big show in my hometown. I’m ready for this test. I trained hard. I definitely believe in myself. I believe in my skills so when the opportunity comes, I’ll be ready to seize it.” CRIZTEC BAZALDUA “First and foremost, I want to give all the glory to God for putting me on this stage and allowing me to display my talents to the best of my abilities. “I’m just ready, I’ve been building myself these past few fights and I’m up for the test for whoever you put in front of me. It’s always been great fighting home, just in the U.S. I’m ready to defend my home territory and make a name for myself.” KYLE ERWIN “Thank you for giving me this opportunity. This is a big platform, big spotlight, and the lights are going to be a lot brighter but at the end of the day it’s just another fight. I’m going to step in the ring and do what I do best and really looking forward to this fight. I had a great camp, great preparation. “As a stocky fighter, I’m always the shorter fighter so it’s nothing new to me. I’ve had great sparing, tall lefty sparing for this camp for about three weeks straight, so I believe in my skills, preparation and grit so I’m going to bring the war.” |
