Here’s what the fighters had to say ahead of fight night:
Caleb Plant
“It feels great to be back on the big stage. I’ve only been in world title fights and title eliminators since 2017, and I’m ready to deliver a big performance.
I stay level-headed—never too high or too low. I had a great camp, I’m locked in, and I’m ready to handle business.
To all the fans: thank you for your support. Don’t miss it this Saturday!”
Armando Reséndiz
“I’m thrilled to be on such a major card. This fight means everything to me. I’m facing one of the best in the world, and I promise to leave it all in the ring.
The support from Mexico drives me—I’m fighting for them, and I’ll give it everything I’ve got.”
Jermall Charlo
“Vegas, I missed you. It’s been a long road, but I’m back—Lions Only.
You’ll know I’m back when you see me jabbing and moving like I do. I’m fired up to show the world what I’ve still got.
Don’t blink. Grab your popcorn early.”
Thomas LaManna
“I feel great. After the Lara fight, I rebuilt the right way. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this.
Charlo’s a big name and a two-division champ—but I belong here, and I’m going to prove it.
The fans are the heart of boxing, and I’m grateful for every bit of support. It’s fueling me.”
Yoenli Feliciano Hernandez
“I don’t worry about my opponent—I came here to win.
Staying calm is key. If I stick to the plan and keep my composure, victory will follow.
My power comes from my mindset. Mind and body must be in sync.”
Kyrone Davis
“I’m ready to have some fun out there in Vegas. This is what we train for—this is my moment.
When you step into the ring with me, just know I’m there to win. I’m coming to hand him his first loss.”
Isaac Lucero
“It’s a dream come true to be fighting on a card like this in Las Vegas. Facing a fellow Mexican makes it even more special.
Valenzuela hasn’t faced anyone like me—I’m here to make a statement.
Expect fireworks. I promise action from start to finish.”
Omar Valenzuela
“I’m thankful for this opportunity. Fighting in Las Vegas—the home of boxing—is something I’ve dreamed of.
We’re going toe-to-toe on Saturday. This is going to be a classic Mexican battle, and we’re bringing the heat for the fans.”
