Eddie Hall: "I'll do whatever it takes to put Thor on the canvas, I've got more heart, more determination, more aggression, more speed, more agility, more punch selection.
"The only thing he's got on me is reach. I'm telling you now, this is going to be a proper fight and in a fight, it's the better fighter that wins.
"This is the only goal I've been training towards in the last two years. Time has been on my side. I'm more practised, more conditioned and more skilled than I've ever been.
"I'm training as a boxer fully. The footwork, the movements, he has seen what I can't do but it's not going to help when we're in the ring."
Thor Bjornsson: "I don’t feel being big in boxing is going to help you, why is Tyson Fury the best boxer in the world?
"Because being heavy doesn’t help you, he could beat me and Eddie no problem. Size is great but boxing skills, ring IQ, footwork and different combinations work in your favour much more than being heavy. I would rather lose a bit of weight to get my endurance and speed up.
"Having extra weight in my opinion doesn’t help you. Me and Eddie have a different view. But on Saturday we will see. On Saturday we will see what is better. Was it Eddie’s technique to come in heavier and stronger? Or will it be Thor’s emphasis on boxing technique, endurance and boxing skills that will beat brute strength?"
“I am one hundred percent going to win. I strongly believe that I am going to knock him out and cause some serious damage. It could happen soon, it could honestly happen soon. I said it third or fourth round knockout.
