The four Semifinalists in the Super Six World Boxing Classic on SHOWTIME® participated in a press conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, fightnews.com reported.

“I try to train with a sense of urgency. Whether Abraham had beat Carl Froch in convincing fashion or if he was in the situation he is now with two losses, I would still train the same. I train until it hurts. I want to thank SHOWTIME just for the opportunity. Outside of this tournament, I can guarantee I wouldn’t have been able to fight the best back-to-back-to-back. It’s also a great burden because you have to fight the best. When I prepare for Arthur Abraham, I train for the best Arthur Abraham. I take being the WBA champion very seriously. I respect every fighter in the sport and I train for every fight accordingly,” Andre Ward said commenting on the forthcoming match.

Arthur Abraham said: “I really have to thank SHOWTIME for what they did with this tournament. The people want to see the best in the weight division fighting each other and we have four of them in the Semifinals. The four best super middleweights in the world are left in the Semifinals and I’m here to win. I’m not the favorite but I’ll fight to the end. We’ll celebrate our win on Saturday.”
