 What has been said?

Riakporhe: “I’m really pleased that he took the fight. I can test the ‘Midnight Train’ once again and everybody can see how I fare up to the test of facing a former world champion.

 “He won’t be a pushover and I have to be at the top of my A game. It is going to be fireworks, believe me.”

"Glowacki is perfect timing. Looking back at my last couple of fights the opponents were at the same level as him and I had no Christmas, I was just in the gym preparing for this fight.

"I'm 6ft 5in tall, with a wide frame and very long limbs. I can hold a lot of weight and I've sparred a lot of heavyweights. Making 200 pounds is not easy. Naturally, I can go up to heavyweight for some big fights -- all the best fighters from cruiserweight do it, from Evander Holyfield to Oleksandr Usyk -- and I want to challenge myself."

Glowacki: “He’s big, tall, has a big reach, he can punch, but of course, we notice some weaknesses in his game,”  “I don’t want to talk about them; I’ll try to exploit them in the ring.

“I still feel the fire inside me; I still want to challenge myself. My only concern is my health. I had a lot of injuries during my career. But as long as I’m healthy, I wanna fight and win.”

“When I got an offer from Riakporhe’s camp, it was a no-brainer for me,” he said. “I wanted the bigger challenge, which obviously was Riakporhe.”

“I know the division has changed since I was a champion, but I wanna test myself against the young guns like Riakporhe,” he said. “My win could be a solid statement and proof that I’ve still got it.”
