Unbeaten super middleweight Edgar Berlanga (20-0, 16 KOs) and Jason Quigley (20-2, 14 KOs) faced off at the final press conference for their clash inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday night, live worldwide on DAZN.
Edgar Berlanga: “It’s a big night on Saturday. It’s been a year layoff, we’re home with a new promoter, and I am ready to perform…for me there are bigger fish out there, the GGGs, the Charlos, these are the guys I want to get in the ring with, I feel I am ready and seasoned to get in with them, but I must beat the shit out of Jason Quigley this weekend, that’s what it is.”
Jason Quigley: “I know I am the better man. Edgar is a great fighter, I’ve come here to win, and that’s going to make it a great fight. But I am the man, I’m here to progress my career and my life.”

Heavyweight Adam Kownacki (20-3, 15 KOs) ripped off his shirt to display his new svelte physique. He and Joe Cusumano (21-4, 19 KOs) fight in the co-feature.
Adam Kownacki: “It’s must-win, but for me. My two options are win averagely or win amazingly. I want to look amazing, I’ve had a great camp with Sugar Hill, so we’re ready. I’m in great shape, I want to look brilliant, get the win and get another fight quickly.”
Joe Cusumano: “We’re Heavyweights, we’re big punchers, and we’re going to show that.”
