Angel Acosta
"I feel very happy because of the support from Golden Boy Promotions and Miguel Cotto Promotions. I'm delighted for the opportunity to fight on DAZN. I've been working hard for this fight. I've been in camp since January 27 because I thought I was going to fight on March 16. But then I got the call to fight on March 30. Either way, I'm excited to defend my title for a third time."
"Training with Freddie Roach has been something else. We've had two fights with him, and it's been really great. My goal right now is to keep defending my title, but if the opportunity to unify presents itself, we will take it. But right now, I'm not thinking about any other opponent. I'm focused on Ganigan Lopez. After that, we can talk about other opponents."
Aaron McKenna:
“This preparation has been going well leading to this fight, I’m really looking forward to this fight,”
“So far I’ve learned a lot since my first fight. I want to keep improving,”
Herbert Acevedo:
“My upcoming fight vs Alfonso Olvera I’m looking forward to it. I’m not looking past this guy. I know he’s coming to give me a fight. I study my opponents well. He’s tall lenghty and throws the jab,”
“Camps been going well. I feel great and I’m ready to showcase my hard work,”
“I want to put my name out there,”
