Curtis Stevens vs Wale Omotoso both predict a toe-to-toe brawl

Curtis Stevens and Wale Omotoso both confident ahead of Saturday's showdown

Brooklyn's Curtis Stevens and Wale Omotoso faced-off ahead of their respective matchups Saturday night, two days before they meet in a junior middleweight showdown on FOX PBC Fight Night this Saturday live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, headlined by heavyweights Adam Kownacki and Chris Arreola.

The fighters were joined on stage by former lineal heavyweight champion Michael Spinks. Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Brooklyn Marriott:

CURTIS STEVENS

"This is my first time fighting at Barclays Center, and I'm going to give the fans a taste of what they've been missing.

"I decided that I'd go down to 154-pounds because my camp has a lot of the top 160-pound fighters so we were getting in each other's way. There are a lot of opportunities for me in this weight class as well.

"No matter what has happened in my career, I have always come back. I'm mentally always ready to bounce back. I've had layoffs in my career, but I know that I'm going to get where I need to be.

"Nobody calls me out because they know I can punch. I'm too risky for the top fighters because they know there's a chance they get knocked out.

"It's incredible to have this opportunity to fight at Barclays Center for the first time. It's going to be a good time for me and all the fans."

WALE OMOTOSO

"I'm not worried about Stevens being at a new weight. I don't think it's going to affect him that much. On Saturday, we're both going to do our best to get the win.

"He's a big puncher who brawls. But I'm a big puncher too. He's been there and fought everybody, but I'm going to show the world what I can do.

"I think this is going to be a toe-to-toe fight. There might be some feeling out, but as the fight goes on and we get into the middle rounds, it's going to be fought in the middle of the ring.

"I've trained well for this fight and had sparring with lots of different fighters. The different styles that I've seen throughout camp will have me prepared for anything Stevens shows me on Saturday night."

Heavyweights Adam Kownacki and Chris Arreola headline the show. Tickets for the event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center.
