“RELENTLESS’’ LAMON BREWSTER (33-2, 29 KOs)

“I am ready to do this. This is what I do for a living. I do nothing else but sleep, eat, drink and think boxing. Some people are college material. I’m from the school of hard knocks. I am very emotional. I am very pumped. I am working with the best trainer (Buddy McGirt) in the world.

“My dream has definitely come true. (On April 1) You’re going to see the best Lamon Brewster you’ve ever seen. I will be punching even harder, punching even faster.  Sergei is a good fighter. In order to be a great champion, you have to fight good fighters.  And in order to be a world champion, I will duck no one.’’

SERGEI “THE WHITE WOLF” LIAKHOVICH (22-1, 14 KOs)

“I feel great. This is a great opportunity for me.  Everybody is talking about me not being active but I’ve actually been training really hard for the past year. He (Brewster) is a good champion. He fights with heart, but if he fights me this (that) way, he will have a big problem.’’
