This fight is taking place at the first direct arena in leeds england on march 26th.
Kiko martinez had this to say i’m confident because, as i said last time, i was going to become world champion and i did it.
I said i was going to beat kid galahad within the distance and i did the same will happen on saturday.
I will beat josh warren within the distance.
Maybe he’s too confident and doesn’t understand he’s facing kiko martinez, josh warrenton replied, i’m very excited.
I had a few set sun beds and my hair is looking on point suit on it’s good occasion.
The sun’s out kind of reminds me four years ago, when i first became world champion same kind of energy.
I feel like the city is excited for saturday night, because they know what’s to come world championship will be staying in leeds.
I’M very grateful for kiko to giving me this opportunity, but the belt is staying here on saturday night goes on to say: i must have upset him in some way because demanded this fight.
I’Ve said in many interviews it’s how the sport works.
It goes in circles.
We are meant to be sparring partners for the lara rematch.
It’S funny he’s gone on to win a world title and his first defense is against me he’s confident and i’m sure he would have trained hard, but i’ll be ready for everything he brings on saturday night.
I’M sure he will be um there on that fight card by the way is also one of our favorites, who we report on often ebony bridges, fighting and uh.
She said it’s absolutely unreal to be a co-main event.
Fighting in leads for a world title.

I’Ve been excited about having this before before it’s even happening.
I won this fight because i knew it was going to be a great fight as in a fan, favorite kind of fight having the world title on the line just makes everything even more exciting.
Moving over here and doing my camp here with mark tibbs has been amazing.
We definitely gelled well and i think i’ve definitely changed his opinion.
How women train for our mindsets, i’m really excited to be around mark tips in the whole family, uh first female world champion fair enough and, as i said, she’s going up against maria roman and she had this to say.
It’S going to be a total war on saturday, i think, would be great for all boxing fans, in particular female boxing fans.
It’S going to be another successful defense for me on saturday night and we all know what ebony bridges looked like after her last fight.
