Undefeated two-division world champion Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade says he’s finally in the position to get the big fights. But first he has to get past Demond Nicholson in their super middleweight ten-rounder opening the Davis-Garcia pay-per-view on January 7.
“I’m on a new journey to be a three-division world champion,” stated Andrade. “Nicholson is one of the few who accepted a fight with me. He stepped up to this challenge and I take my hat off to him. I’m looking to get in there with the top names. Every fight is a chance to make a statement. There’s not just one fight that catapults you. Every fight is high stakes to me. I don’t look past anybody. We’re both looking to take each other’s head off.”
Andrade added, “I’m preparing to be on top. I don’t look past anybody, but I’m confident and I know what I can do. I want Jermall Charlo, that’s what I’m here for. I’ve got a left hand for him.
“I know that I’m in a position now to get the fights that I need for my legacy. There are big names in front of me. I’m looking to make the fights happen.
“I want people to hear from me. Directly from the source. This is me writing my own chapter and the truth will be told.”
Andrade doesn’t want to fight anybody, he calls people out for attention. He just vacated the title because he didn’t want to fight the mandatory Janibek.
I agree
Yes, well said…. Andrade blowing smoke for marketability.
Andrade wasted his time going after Canelo and the big payday, who is Janibek anyway? This fight has to happen or both guys should just retire, Jarmall hasn’t fought in 2 years.
Janibek is the mandatory number one contender Andrade vacated his world title to avoid the fight.
Hear so much about both of these guys wanting this guy and that guy but you look up and….. neither one of them had a fight in 2022. They both just took the entire year off because they’re so eager to fight.
Years ago, I used to train out of the Laurel Boys and Girls Club in Maryland and later on trained a middleweight amateur fighter who used to spar with Demond. I remember Demond was always getting yelled at as a little kid by his dad for always talking and not concentrating on hitting the bag. Went to some of his amateur and pro fights, he’s turned into a solid pro. Ironically, Demetrius is from my hometown, but didn’t know him personally. Wish Demond well, but Demetrius takes this one, he’s a notch above, however, Demond will be game. True, there is a lot of talking these days with fighters, but I think its more the promoters not wanting to work with each other.
Yawn.
This is the perfect fight to make. We can find who of these two is actually legit.
All I hear is blah blah blah. Legacy currently sits at shite, would need a rocket up his ass to achieve greatness
This cat is irrelevant, a bum trying to cash in on a name he never had.
He want peydey
Boo-boo is scared of getting a boo-boo, which is why he’s now hopping around the divisions. Instead of crying foul, he should have been putting heads to bed on a regular basis in order to stake his claim. How many years did he waste playing the soap opera game? Now he’s past his peak and a low stock option.
First he’s gotta get past Nicholson hahaha give us a break already Boo Boo, fight someone. Says he has a left hand for Charlo, the guy couldn’t knock the skin off of a custard.
So both guys did NOT have a meaningful fight in 2022, actually no fight at all and yet we have to be subjected to endless yacking! Endless ‘callouts’ and boring conversation about being avoided. My goodness I’m so sick of this!
Once again Doo Doo fighting someone that is not a fighter we know anything about and have to google to see his record? So tired of this guy talking about everybody ducking him, but has never fought or won anything by beating a true champion! always taking on unknowns for vacant titles then vacating those titles so not to defend them against mandatories!
Do Doo that is funny I gotta use that next time.
Finally in the position to get the big fights? When? When will he fight a worthy opponent? “Boo Boo” is a good nickname for him because all he does is call people out for attention but never follows through.
Andrade: I want Jermall Charlo. Wait in line dude Tszyu has dibs first.
That is going to be the proof Andrade isn’t on the level he claims he is !!
Pathetic… I have been somewhat away from boxing for maybe 4-5 years (watching only major fights). Now I am back, and Andrade is still looking for big fights.
