IBF World Super middleweight Champion Lucian Bute and IBF #6 rated contender Edison Miranda trained for the media and fans Tuesday afternoon at a crowded InterBox gym inside the Claude Robillard Center. Both fighters and their respective trainers declared they are ready for an explosive fight on HBO.

"My preparation for Andrade was exceptional and this time it was even better. I haven’t reached my peak in boxing, but after every fight I feel I am a better boxer" said Lucian Bute.

"I'm well prepared, I respect Lucian Bute but come Saturday I'm going to win," declared Edison Miranda.
