CAROLINE DUBOIS QUOTES
On the significance of the fight and her legacy: "It represents the start. First off, I want to thank everyone here for coming and supporting women's boxing and supporting the women here today with me. I'm very happy and excited to be headlining. This is amazing for me. This is the start, and I'm happy, and I'm thankful to Nakisa, to Jake Paul, to MVP for making it happen. I can't wait. Honestly, as I said, this is the start of my future, my legacy, or my greatness. I believe I'm going all the way, and it starts with Terri.”
On her rivalry with Terri Harper: "I called her irrelevant because I believe that she is. I'm not focusing on Terry Harper, I never have, and I never will. I'm focusing on the belt, my future, and my legacy. My legacy starts with becoming undisputed at the lightweight division. Unfortunately for Terri, she's the one holding the belt, so that's who I've got in my mind. But if it were anyone, and I mean anyone, it wouldn't matter. My energy, my intensity, and my mindset would be the same."
On her confidence and preparation: "There's a quote that I’ve heard recently that’s just stuck with me. It says, 'If you want to win the lottery, you still got to make the money to buy the ticket.' I believe Terri Harper is my lottery ticket to the future. Whatever I want is on the other side of her. But I still got to make the money, and the money is made in the gym. I'm going to work my ass to the bone. I'm going to leave no stone unturned, train like I've never trained before."
TERRI HARPER QUOTES
On the opportunity and being her authentic self: "She's doing a great job selling the fight. She's doing my work for me. So I'm just being my authentic self. I'm here, and I'm enjoying the moment. It's a great opportunity for me. I thank MVP and Jake Paul for putting on such a great show for us female fighters and coming back to the UK with such an amazing card. I'm focused on what I need to do.
On her experience in the ring: "I feel like this fight is the perfect time in my career. As Caroline says, I've got experience, and honestly, the stars have aligned. I’ve got a great team around me now, and I’m just hungrier more than I have ever been.”
On being overlooked by Dubois: “I’ve been there in my career before, where I’ve been looking at future fights before I've even done the fight in front of me. That was a mistake I had to learn the hard way. I feel like Caroline is doing that now. I feel like I'm not here for her respect, but I feel like she’s massively overlooking me and thinks it’s going to be an easy night."
On what a win over Dubois would mean to her: “For me, this fight isn't about the belts. Like for me, I just want to beat Caroline, and that'll be the sweetest victory of my career.”
ELLIE SCOTNEY QUOTES
On rescheduling her bout vs. Flores: "I was gutted. I was thinking, have I missed the opportunity? And you know, I always feel that the Lord's time is better than ours. And to be fighting on the resurrection of Jesus Christ proved that to me. You know, every setback's aligned. And April the 5th, I’ll become undisputed champion in front of my home crowd.”
On earning recognition in the UK: “I feel like I've done everything the right way. I'd like to think, as in I've never boxed for a vacant title. I've gone from champion to champion to champion. And the final one awaits me on April the 5th. I feel like holding integrity through it all will be the thing that will make you stand out in the long run. I just feel like doing it the right way might be the longer way, but I feel like it's the way Ellie was meant to do it.”
On fighting in the UK: “Whenever I pictured fighting for undisputed, it was always at home. So the fact that MVP has over-delivered for me, everything I've thought or imagined, they bettered.
CHANTELLE CAMERON QUOTES
On how she joined the card: “Thank you to MVP, Nakisa [Bidarian], Mike [Leanardi], and Jake Paul, cause they got me this opportunity. It wasn't in the plan, but it's just worked out. Everything just worked out perfectly for me. I started the year off, and everything's aligning again. I went back to Jamie [Moore] and Nigel [Travis]. It was my fourth day back in the gym, and the next thing I'm getting a phone call from my manager saying that I've got a world title shot as well. So, it was all within a week. I'm just thankful.”
On future bouts: “There are so many great women boxers out there now, and I'm more
looking at Mikaela Mayer, kind of that division, Lauren Price. But, you know, whatever happens happens. I think that's what I've learned in my boxing career. You just got to go with the flow and win your fights.”
On the move to 3-minute rounds: "I've wanted to do three-minute rounds for years now, but I've never kind of had the opportunity. But with MVP, they are massive supporters of three-minute rounds as well. So, we spoke about it, and they were going to get me three-minute rounds, and they got me the vacant WBO world title to go along with it.”
EMMA DOLAN QUOTES
On taking the first step to becoming world champion: “I knew as soon as I turned pro I was going to be world champion, and this is the first step going towards what I want to achieve.”
On her friendship with Scotney: “Ellie's one fight away from being undisputed champion, which is crazy. She's always sort of setting the standard. I'm going to be the world champion on April 5th. It's crazy, but I'm here for it, and I can't wait for the fight.”
