Here’s what attendees of Wednesday’s virtual press conference had to say:
DANIEL JACOBS
“The idea of coming back has been in my head for two years. I want to secure a place in the Hall of Fame and I believe I can do even more. I have accomplished a lot and inspired many people. I did more than enough to come back against a hungry young lion like Shane Mosley Jr.
“I have always faced the toughest challenges I could face. I can’t wait to give it my all and show what I can still do.
“So many fans have contacted me and asked if I was coming back and now I finally am. I can’t wait to put on a great show for the fans.”
“I’m there 100%. When I decide to do something, I fully commit to it. I’ve been training and mentally preparing for it for eight months now. Everything is designed to make me look great on July 6th.
“You can’t kill the experience. This is something that can make boxers victorious. I experienced things that these young veterans did not experience. I can weather a storm and emerge victorious even when people doubt me.
“I’m not fighting for a living, I’m fighting for greatness and I’m fighting to leave a legacy. It is the most powerful motivating force there is.
“Sometimes a break is good. Boxing is 80% mental and if you’re not in the right mental state before a fight, sometimes it shows. This break helped me reset my mind and soul. All that remains is to consolidate this last objective that I have set for myself.
SHANE MOSLEY JR.
“Training is going very well. I’m happy to have this chance. This is the kind of fight you dream of as a young fighter. You work to reach those moments when a big test awaits you.
“Resistance shows who the man is. You need these moments to define yourself. That’s why we fight.”
“I do this for love and for the legacy. I didn’t do this because of my father. I do this because I love this sport. Just like Daniel said, you do it because you want to be a legend and go down in the history books. The only way to do that is to beat people you shouldn’t beat.
“I definitely see this as a step forward. There’s no one in my career like Daniel Jacobs. I haven’t fought anyone who’s achieved what he’s achieved. You can’t run away from an opportunity like this. I’m showing everyone that I want to achieve great things.”
“My father was able to show me that a man can achieve great things if he puts his mind to it. But I stood out on my own and got into this sport on my own. I want to build my own legacy.
“My goal is actually to become undisputed middleweight champion, but when you get the chance to fight Daniel Jacobs, you don’t turn it down. I could have fought for a middleweight title, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to fight a legend.
SHANE MOSLEY, father of Mosley and member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame
“My son is doing a great job at training camp. He works hard every day. He really gives it his all. I followed him closely during his training and I really like everything his trainer did with him.
“My son is in great shape, mentally fit and ready to take on any challenge. Everyone wants to be world champion and I know he’s looking forward to this fight.
“I’ve been in the ring with my son a few times and I know he’s very strong and very fast. He is a very tough opponent. When we were in the ring together, I gave him some of that experience fighting a Hall of Fame fighter and I think he will be prepared for what a boxer of that caliber can do.
“In my opinion, my son should win this fight. I think it will be difficult for Jacobs to shake off the rust. I have seen great development in my son. Not just physically, but also mentally. If you watch his fight with Gabe Rosado, you can see he took a big step forward.
ANDRÉ ROZIER, Coach of Jacobs
“Daniel wants to get into the Hall of Fame. “To do that he has to bring back Daniel who became a two-time middleweight world champion and he has to show that it’s not over yet.”
“We have trained and prepared and are back on track. He is ready to compete. We don’t look at the opponents too much, we just try to get the best Daniel Jacobs back in the ring.
“The tank is definitely full. I’m going to put more high octane gas in it now. It’ll be more than ready on July 6th.”
“Now we just have to be in Canastota to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.” This is what we work for.
