Quillen: I want to make it a dogfight

Former world champion Peter Quillin discussed his August 4 clash against J’Leon Love at NYCB LIVE. The FOX-televised card is headlined by a showdown between former welterweight world champions Andre Berto and Devon Alexander.

Peter Quillin: “I think this is a new chapter in my life. J’Leon Love is trying to showcase and do something memorable against me. He’s trying to get a name on his record because he desperately needs one.

“We can make it a dogfight. I wouldn’t say that J’Leon likes to be in a dogfight, he’s more of a classical boxer. He likes to be on his legs, he likes to pop the jab out and he likes to move around the ring. So let’s see who comes and brings their better stuff that night. I want to make it a dogfight.

“Love definitely wanted this fight, but it’s a perfect fight for me. I hope that he brings his very best because I’m definitely going to bring that on my behalf.

“I’m just planning to go out there and be ‘Kid Chocolate’. I’ve got some good people around me. I’m training in Brooklyn with Aureliano Sosa, who has been pushing me to the max. August 4 for me is really about J’Leon being delivered into my hands and giving the fans a good showcase.”
