This is what the fighters said:
SERHII BOHACHUK, INTERIM WBC SUPERWELTER CHAMPION
“I wanted this fight now. I like it, I like the challenge. This fight can be very beneficial for both of us. Come on! I can’t wait to give Ukraine the opportunity to show a lot of pride. There’s going to be a war in the ring! ”
VERGIL ORTIZ JR
“I’m very grateful! I want to thank my dad, first of all, and Robert Garcia, I just want to share my gratitude. We’ve been training since I was five years old. I work hard every day.
“I didn’t have anything growing up to be able to give my brothers anything, you know, to help them; I want them to have all the things that I couldn’t have. When August 10th comes, we will have a great fight. I don’t think the boys understand that this is going to be a war.”
