“Winning is the only thing I have in mind,” the 34 year-old Ghanaian said ahead of the clash.


He continued, ”I am very happy and most grateful that they have given me this wonderful opportunity. Hey, I know that I’m not the favorite, and I also know that I’m on foreign territory. But…I’m in excellent shape with great enthusiasm to provide a big surprise. I come to win and that’s exactly what will happen!.”

The champion in his speech ahead of the battle said:

 

“I am very happy to return to my home as a world champion; I chose to make this fight in Cancun because I have to show to my people the result of years of work. I’m not worried at all about the rival changes that we had, because I trained to win and I’m ready for everything inside the ring.”
