“I’m so competitive that when I think I’ve reached my limit, there’s always an extra push to do something I haven’t done before.”

ISRAIL MADRIMOV

“I feel great, I’ve waited for this moment for a long time. My dream is coming true. On Saturday night I’ll show all the boxing fans a great fight.

“I’m only thinking about victory and I’ll show everything I have inside the ring.”
