Fabio Wardley: “Irrespective of pedigree, history, experience, I believe that I can beat him. Whatever happens in the fight, that belief I have is unwavering and I always have 100 per cent confidence. I’ve proven that time and time again. It’s going to be over and out. He’s going to be cleaned out.”
Daniel Dubois: “I can’t let myself down or my team down and this is the time to dig deeper than ever before. I feel like the luckiest guy in boxing. It’s just one (world title fight) after the other. I’ve got to go back to the drawing board and come again. I feel like we’re going to get it right this time though, with the training and how everything is going to be perfect, I just have a feeling.”
