Quotes
GEORGE LIDDARD: I’m very excited for Saturday night. I cannot wait. All the hard work is done now. This is the fun part for me now. It’s an occasion for me where I can turn up and enjoy all of this. The real business is Saturday night and that’s what I’m looking forward to. Tyler is a good fighter – he’s been in with some good fighters and has plenty of experience. I just believe that I am the better man. I believe I am the better fighter and you’ll see that on Saturday night. He’s saying I’m a nice kid but I’ve got a very dark side to me, which comes out when I fight. The last person who told me I was acting, look what happened. That’s all I’ve got to say. There isn’t an act to this. I love what I do. I live for this and I love the whole art of this fighting game. I think in the last two years I have really grown from a boy to a man. I just believe that I am bigger, stronger, faster and better in every aspect. I will get the job done by any means. If it has to be a 12-round war, then I’m ready for that. If it got changed to a 15-rounder, I’d be ready for it. I train for 15 and 18-rounds. We can go into deep waters, if he wants to go into deep waters. But when I’m on my game, there aren’t too many people who would be able to survive with me for long. I do believe that I will get the job done in style.
TYLER DENNY: It’s just business as usual for me. For most of my career, in all the big fights, I have always been the underdog. So it means nothing to me. I’m glad there’s going to be loads of people there watching because it works in the favour of when they’re cheering him, and I’m punching his head in, it will be nice and I’m going to thrive of that. They obviously believe in him and have made him a headliner at the Copper Box. Even the West Ham stuff yesterday, they clearly believe in him. Fair play. But I’m on my own path and I’ve still got a lot left and I feel like I’m even better than ever. He’s a good fighter and he’s someone who i have a lot of respect for. You don’t have his amateur accolades or become a British & Commonwealth Champion if you’re not a good fighter. I never understand when people are fighting someone and they say they are no good. If you beat them, then you’ve not beaten anyone who is good. I think he is a top fighter and he’ll have a good future. But Saturday is not going to be his night. My confidence is at an all time high. I’m going to take those belts. I feel unbelievable at the minute and I can’t wait for Saturday.
