Klitschko - Jennings Press Conference Quotes From Madison Square Garden PhilBoxing.com Thu, 05 Feb 2015  New York City (February 4, 2015) - IBF/WBA/WBO/IBO and "The Ring Magazine" World Heavyweight Champion WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO and top rated challenger BRYANT JENNINGS along with their respective teams held the Kick-Off Press conference for their highly anticipated battle set for Saturday, April 25 at Madison Square Garden, "The World's Most Famous Arena." "THE CHAMPION RETURNS" will be televised Live on HBO World Championship Boxing beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT in the United States and RTL in Germany among the more than 150 countries which will telecast the event. Presented by K2 Promotions and Klitschko Management Group in association with Gary Shaw Productions, tickets priced at $1000, $600, $300, $200 and $100 can be purchased through the Madison Square Garden Box Office, www.TheGarden.com and www.Ticketmaster.com. WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO "Let us, Bryant and me, entertain you on April 25th here in New York at Madison Square Garden. I see how Bryant Jennings acts. I see how he walks, I see how he shakes hands, I see how he speaks, and he has the qualities of Rocky Balboa from Philadelphia." "Thank you to HBO. Eventually you believed in me. I'm back on your network and I'm happy about it. Like Sinatra said, 'If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Right event, right venue and right city. I fought here for the first time 15 years ago and I'm so happy to come back here and fight." BRYANT JENNINGS: "This is it. I like to thank everyone involved with this promotion and my city of Philadelphia. It took a long time to make this fight happen and through it all I stayed calm. I commend my team for allowing me to be the athlete that I am while these negotiations were going on. On April 25th history will definitely be made and it will be made by me. One of us has to lose and it isn't going to be me. Enough of the talking, I'm ready to fight." BERND BOENT/CEO, KMG Management: "This is Wladimir's 27th world title fight, it was 15 years ago when he first fought here. I'd like to thank Joel Fisher and his terrific team here at Madison Square Garden, this venue truly is the home of heavyweight champions and we are very excited to have this event here. I'd also like to thank our broadcast partners HBO and RTL without whom events like this would be possible. TOM LOEFFLER/K2 Promotions: "This is K2 Promotions' eighth event at Madison Square Garden and we're honored to work with the outstanding team here. We've already sold over 5,000 tickets which is just an incredible response to announcing this event." GARY SHAW/Gary Shaw Productions: "Madison Square Garden is the mecca of boxing, the ring is in the Hall of Fame, this is what heavyweight boxing is all about. 25 years ago on February 11, 1990, Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson. I believe on April 25th history will once again be made for an American heavyweight to do something spectacular, but this time instead of being overseas, it will be here in the United States at the Madison Square Garden. I believe Bryant Jennings will become the unified heavyweight champion of the world on April 25th." JAMES PRINCE, Manager of Jennings: "This is a dream come true for us and we can't wait. There are a lot of doubters out there right now and they believe there is no way Bryant Jennings is going to be able to deliver a victory on April 25th. I would like for you all to show up because Bryant Jennings is going to show out, and we shall be champion." FRED JENKINS, Trainer of Jennings: "I do know the pedigree of where Bryant Jennings comes from, he's going to give it all he's got. This is a one sided fight and I believe its going to be all Bryant "By-By" Jennings."  |
