ANDRZEJ FONFARA, World Title Challenger

"I'm prepared very well and I'm ready for this fight. It's been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I'm a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect. I must put everything into Saturday night and I will win the fight.

"I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn't want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I'm ready for a decision or for a knockout.

"I'm ready with a couple of plans. I don't want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I'm going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch. I'm not worried about what his father said about [his son going another way and] not fighting me [in his comeback fight]. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

"It doesn't matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson. Chavez Jr. is a great fighter. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight on Saturday.

"If I get the chance, I'm going to knock him out. It's boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight. I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I'm a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

"It doesn't matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we'll be in the ring Saturday and everything will happen there. Fan's can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight."
