KEITH THURMAN
 
"This fight has been brewing for a long time. Both of us wanted this fight. There's a reason why this fight is happening. We're young, we're hungry and we're not trying to wait around. It's time for this to go down.
 
"I've had a great camp. This is nothing new to me. I'm happy to be in this moment with all these people here. I've had a dream since I was a little boy to be not just your average champion, but to be a great champion. Before I had that dream, Ben Getty believed in me and it's because of him that I'm where I'm at today. He predicted this before anyone.
