ALYCIA BAUMGARDNER QUOTES
On why she wanted to fight under the same rules as men: MVP stands for equality and they gave me the option and I took the challenge. As always, I am a competitor. I never back down. I always say yes. And again, you will see just an awesome athlete, a woman athlete, Friday night doing what she does best.
Responding to Dubois’ remarks about a future matchup and the debate over the face of women’s boxing: I mean, baby, I'm the co-main event for a reason. So listen, one thing about a puppy, you got to train them and you got to take your time with them puppies. So take your time. Be patient. Let the big dog do what the big dog do. Eat. All right. I'm here. This ain't the UK, this is the USA - we going to welcome you real good here in Miami. So yeah, let's have a good time Friday night. Welcome to the team. We're both on the same card and you guys can make up your mind.
LEILA BEAUDOIN QUOTES
On Baumgardner’s confident trash talk and her own approach: I really don't mind what she says. I believe in myself. I know my worth.
