Quotes corner

Jamie Conlan: "Michael conquered a lot of demons in his last fight. Being where he was and what he went through in the Leigh Wood fight, and then jumping straight back in.

"Leigh Wood won the fight, but he hasn't fought since. That's testament to Michael and his mind and body that he wanted straight back in.
"He wanted the August fight to exorcise the demons, so none of them were lingering. He fought a fighter who was heavy-handed and a knockout artist in Miguel Marriaga, and then he kept moving forward.
"This is a different task. Karim carries a lot more speed and moves a lot better than Marriaga. He is better at countering, too. So it is a good test, and one that is needed.

Karim Guerfi: “I come here full of confidence in my ability, I respect Michael a lot but I know that my pace and fitness will see me come out victorious. My goal is to become World Champion and I know I need to beat Karim to continue my quest to do that.

"My preparation is constantly improving and I’m learning with every fight. This fight will have a bit of everything as both of us can box and fight."
