What has been said?
Andrade: “I’m on a new journey to be a three-division world champion.” “Nicholson is one of the few who accepted a fight with me. He stepped up to this challenge and I take my hat off to him.
“I’m looking to get in there with the top names. Every fight is a chance to make a statement. There’s not just one fight that catapults you. Every fight is high stakes to me. I don’t look past anybody. We’re both looking to take each other’s head off.”
“I’m preparing to be on top. I don’t look past anybody, but I’m confident and I know what I can do,” “I want Jermall Charlo, that’s what I’m here for. I’ve got a left hand for him. “I know that I’m in a position now to get the fights that I need for my legacy. There are big names in front of me. I’m looking to make the fights happen.
Nicholson: “Beating Andrade would help me rewrite my story,” Nicholson said. “I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in the game of boxing. So this win is going to help me start a new narrative. My only objective is to win and shock the world. Then I can get the fights that I need for my own legacy.”
