Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev - Two-Time Light Heavyweight World Champion
"I am hearing how everyone is saying how Mikhalkin is going to be easy, but we’ll see."
"I think Bivol will win on Saturday night because he is much more experienced than Barrera."
"My kids and Shabranskyy’s kids have not played in the park together since our fight (their kids actually played together at the park 5 days prior to Kovalev’s November 25 KO win over Shabranskyy)."
Igor Mikhalkin
"I trained very good and I feel very good. I know Kovalev and he will try the same style he always does - he will come and try to knock me out and I am prepared for that."
"I’m very excited to fight at Madison Square Garden; it is like a dream come true and I promise to give the fans a good fight because I know there are many Russians that live in the area and many of them will be coming to the fight."
