Evander Holyfield Speaks On Savarese Bout
Evander Holyfield quotes from his press conference to announce the June 30 pay-per-view event against Lou Savarese.
On Lou Savarese as an opponent: “I usually don’t like fighting guys with Lou’s style. I like guys who are aggressive. But the champions now pretty much fight the way Lou fights so that’s why I chose him.”
About continuing his quest for a fight world heavyweight championship: “I work harder at the gym than the young guys. If I didn’t believe I could do it, I wouldn’t try. It’s just like my momma told me when I was young. You have to know how to finish. You may not have control over where you start, but you can control how you finish. I want to win the undisputed heavyweight championship and then let the young guys take over.”
About training camp: “I’m about 210 lbs right now. I usually walk around at 215, but every time I come to Texas I sweat so much that I lose around 7 lbs after workouts.”
About which of the champions he’d like to fight: “Whatever opportunity comes first. I don’t seek people to fight. I seek titles.”
