Enjoy the short dialogue:
HELLO CHAMP
ANS: Hello Mate
QUICK ONE……………………
HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW ROBERT QUAYE.
“I think I heard about him…that he wanted to fight me.”
ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT HIM?
“I’m ready to fight everyone but you guys must talk to my manager and my promoter because only they can decide for me. I’m fighting on Sunday 24th for IBF title.”
ARE YOU NOT AWARE OF A POSSIBLE MATCH-UP BETWEEN YOURSELF AND ROBERT IN MAY?
“I am yet to talk with my manager on any possible fight. He didn’t talk to me about that yet because i have a fight on Sunday.”
BUT HOW DO U SEE YOUR CHANCES AGAINST ROBERT QUAYE?
“My chances? I was ready since …just agree with him (my manager) that’s all. It’s not about the chance against him but I will beat him right now, just agree with my manager that’s all.”
ROBERT QUAYE IS A KNOCKOUT SPECIALIST..WHAT MAKES YOU SO CONFIDENT?
“I’ve got everything more than him in the sport of boxing. I can knock him, can stop him, i can punish him till the last round so he doesn’t have a chance to win against me. Unless you guys rob me.”
YOU ARE PREDICTING A KNOCKOUT AGAINST A BOXER YOU DO NOT KNOW?
“I don’t get scared of any boxer in the world because i’m always feeling great and not anyone can beat me easily so lets make it happen then we will see if he’s gonna do what he spoke on social media.
I saw that he was talking a lot but i didn’t care about it because I am focusing on my next bout that’s why.”
DO YOU HAVE AMBITIONS OF WINNING THE WORLD TITLE?
“I don’t have that ambition now but i’m gonna have in the very near future.
My promoter will make it happen for me to have that chance. I was born to be a champion of the world.”
WHICH ROUND ARE YOU PREDICTING A KNOCKOUT?
“I don’t know and I’m not predicting a knock out because I can win by decision also.”
I AM GRANTING YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEND ROBERT QUAYE A MESSAGE.
“I’m only focusing on my next big fight on Sunday.”
