Fres
Oquendo to FightNightNews: "I will
win the fight. I will knock the
legend out."
A couple hours after talking to Fres
Oquendo, Mike Marley was able to put
me on the phone with Evander
Holyfield. Holyfield, much like
Oquendo, was busy with the many
members of the press gathered at the
press conference so he didn't have
much time to talk.
Once again, I tried to get the best
questions asked with about the five
minutes I had with him.
Robert Jones: How your
shoulders holding up and how is
training camp doing?
Evander Holyfield: It's
holding up great. Shoulder? I can't
even tell I have a shoulder
(laughs). |

RJ: How good a feeling was it
to get back in the ring after nearly
two years away?
EH: It was definitely a good
feeling. It put me on the right
trail and built confidence and all
these things here. A lot of times,
life is all about the first step.
RJ: What do you expect
Oquendo’s game plan to be? Take you
deep, or try to go right after you
early?
EH: I don’t really have any
guess. I just train to the best of
my ability to be able to fight hard
if I have to and to box if I have
to. I do both of them very well.
RJ: If you get by Oquendo do
you think you’re next fight will be
for a world title?

EH: Well, I
will get by Oquendo.
As far as fighting
for a title next,
we’ll have to see
where that goes.
RJ: You said
you would like to be
unified champion by
2008. Would you
fight past then if
need be?
EH: Hopefully
I’ll have that done.
My thing is, I don’t
like to speculate. I
just like to take
one day at a time.
Within a year and a
half I should be the
undisputed
heavyweight champion
of the world. |

RJ: Any predictions
for November 10th?
EH: Train, Train,
Train! (laughs)
