QUOTABLES

DOMINIC BREAZEALE

"It wasn't hard to refocus after the Charles Martin fight fell out. I took a couple of days off and then I was right back in the gym on Monday.

"I have no worries about fighting a southpaw. I've had plenty of time to get comfortable with the game plan against a southpaw.

"I just did a week of sparring in San Francisco with LeRon Mitchell. It was well worth it. He's a southpaw, same build as Mansour. It was ideal.

"I've seen a couple of Mansour's fights, especially the Gerald Washington fight, and I know he wants to get inside. I need him to respect my distance and range. Washington was tall like me so it's a good fight to study.

"My time playing quarterback in college has helped me out a great deal. The footwork is very similar. Throwing footballs and throwing punches isn't so different. 

"I'd like Charles Martin to defeat Vyacheslav Glazkov and then hopefully I can fight him. Glazkov was an Olympian and has a great deal of experience. I believe if Glazkov wins it will be in impressive fashion. I'm not sure Martin has enough talent to be in the ring with Glazkov.

"Deontay Wilder is very good with his range. I'm a believer in him and I don't think Artur Szpilka will be able to get inside. I'm picking Deontay.

"My fight will be action packed for sure. I've got the ability to knockout Mansour and I'm looking for a knockout in the middle rounds. It will definitely be very action packed."
