The Russians and The Reds are coming!

Mexican Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (52-1-2, 35 KOs) and Russian Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (34-3-1, 29 KOs) made their grand arrivals  at the MGM Grand Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, in the final countdown to  their clash of this Saturday, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, which  will be broadcast live exclusively on DAZN.

Here’s what they had to say for themselves:

“Canelo” Álvarez, WBC Franchise Champion, commented:

“As always, I am very grateful that everyone is here. I am very happy and ready. This is very important for me, for my career, for my story, for my family, for my team. Being a world champion in four weight different classes would be another chapter of my story.

“Everything has been different, the weight, the training and I can’t wait to see how it all goes on November 2. I will do my best.

” Does fan support ever stop? “No, it’s very motivating for me. This motivates me and I’m ready for success.”

Sergey Kovalev, WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion:

“I feel great. I’m here for glory. For writing my own story.  A couple of fights ago, when I started working with my new team Buddy McGirt and Teddy Cruz, they returned my belief in myself.  With this team I can do more. You can see, with my last fights, a small change in my technique and style. I’m ready to fight 12 rounds.

“It’s not the goal to knock someone out, I just need to follow my instructions from the corner, from my coach, and everything will be fine.”
