Each performance is going to be better than the last.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Qamili is a tough opponent, but I don\u2019t care how tough he is \u2014 I\u2019m ready to do whatever it takes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would mean a lot to advance to the next stage, but my goal is to be number one. Once I get there, I\u2019ll be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>SPENCER WILCOX (USA, Super Lightweight)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c(On his fianc\u00e9e). She supports me in an amazing way and gives me space, which is really important. So yeah, the engagement was fun \u2014 definitely something special to experience outside of the ring. As fighters, most of our biggest celebrations are boxing-related, so this was different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve known Derek and Erick Basran for a long time. Erick is like my best friend in boxing. It\u2019s awesome to be part of the Boxing Grand Prix alongside them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Carlos is a great fighter \u2014 I respect him like I respect anyone who steps into the ring. I hope he achieves his goals, but August 13th is my night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>DEVON YOUNG (USA, Heavyweight) <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard the commentator say, \u2018He\u2019s not the best.\u2019\u00a0 I\u2019ve got a lot to prove. I want to show everyone that I\u2019m a great fighter \u2014 I work hard every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Keaton is a great fighter. He\u2019s at a high level. There\u2019s a lot of pressure in a tournament like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m blessed to be in this position. I just want to win it all \u2014 and inspire everyone watching to chase their dreams.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis could launch my career. They say they\u2019re looking for the next heavyweight champion\u2026Hey \u2014\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0right\u00a0here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>DANTE STONE (USA, Heavyweight)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI work 9 to 5, like a lot of boxers starting their careers. Shoutout to all the fighters who juggle work and boxing \u2014 I see you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fight everyone like they\u2019re world champions. Like they\u2019re Usyk or Wilder \u2014 because that\u2019s my goal: to become a world champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my coaches is my dad, and the other is like a grandfather to me. I always listen to them \u2014 they\u2019re always on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to do my best, and I hope Balla does his best too. Let\u2019s give the fans a great fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>CARLOS UTRIA (Colombia, Super Lightweight)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI trust my preparation, and I know that there are no small fighters when we step into the ring. We all have that same hunger to win, and you must respect that. I know how hard I\u2019ve worked, I know what I want to achieve in my life, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m so eager. It\u2019s not overconfidence, it\u2019s knowing what I want. Plain and simple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMisael Cabrera and I promised each other that we would meet in the final. He\u2019s the only one in the division that I talk to, and we get along really well. We set that goal for both of us, and we must meet in the final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been achieving great things thanks to the WBC Boxing Grand Prix. I am building my house and bought a car not too long ago. I hope this motivates people and that it allows people to know my story. Everything I have lived through and that I have been achieving little by little with effort and sacrifice. That fills me with joy to keep advancing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>MISAEL CABRERA (Mexico, Super Lightweight)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI injured my spine when I was 18\u2026All the doctors told me back then that I would never fight again, and I went home to Ciudad Obreg\u00f3n. I was inactive for two years, recovering with physical therapy, and now here I am. I\u2019m living the dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t come back home, and I don\u2019t even think about coming back until my mission is complete. I said goodbye to my parents and my siblings telling them that I wasn\u2019t coming back, and I was serious. A lot of fighters celebrate after winning a single fight\u2026I won\u2019t celebrate until I win it all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarlos Utria and I decided that we are going to face each other in the final. We took a picture, did a face off, and why not? We wage war inside the ring and continue being friends outside of it, just as it should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>EMILIANO AGUILL\u00d3N (Mexico, Middleweight) <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to come back to the kind of boxing style that\u00b4s about always moving forward, the clashing that I like and that the fans love to see.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I get grittier the more I get hit or the more I fight, going forward and looking to fight even more. I want De la Chapelle to meet me in the middle of the ring or on the ropes, wherever, and go blow by blow with each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the new wrinkles that the WBC implemented. I like the 30-second warning before the round is over, because 10 seconds isn\u00b4t much. The 30 seconds give you more of an incentive to press forward and try more things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>BRANDON MOSQUEDA (Mexico, Featherweight)<\/u><\/strong><u>\u00a0 <\/u><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The knockout can happen at any point. We are well prepared to go all six rounds and to withstand everything for as long as it\u00b4s necessary. However, we will gladly take the knockout if it comes. Why not? I have the power and quality to achieve it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u00b4t mean to disrespect or overlook anyone, but I would like to fight Troy Nash, the American. First things first, God willing, we will prevail on August 13 and do the same in the semifinal. I may be looking forward to it a bit too much, but I would love to face Troy\u00a0Nash in the final.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>CARLOS SINISTERRA (Colombia, Middleweight)<\/u><\/strong><u>\u00a0 <\/u><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning this tournament would be a great source of pride for Colombia, and both Utria and I would be very proud to reach the final and then bring the title home. I\u00b4m pretty sure that, God willing, the trophy is coming back with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>PIOTR LACZ (Poland, Heavyweight)<\/u><\/strong><u>\u00a0 <\/u><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything has been perfect. This is the opportunity I had been waiting for. This is a very well-organized event that hasn\u00b4t had controversies, very transparent, and a blessing that God has put in front of all of us as participants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat last win (in Stage 2) was personal. He dropped me when the ref said \u201cbreak\u201d \u2014 I relaxed, and he hit me. But after the fight, I checked to see if Marko was okay. That\u2019s the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m motivated. I know I can shine. It\u2019s a great opportunity to be part of the WBC Boxing Grand Prix, and I\u2019m really happy to be here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will be ready for Kevin. I\u2019m faster and stronger. No disrespect \u2014 I just know how prepared I am. It\u2019s going to be a great fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>THE BRACKETS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
