| SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING WBC HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CAMP QUOTES From Tuesday, September 4, 2007 Poconos, Penn. Oleg Maskaev to Face Samuel Peter in Boxing Mecca Madison Square Garden, New York Saturday, October 6, 2007 live at 10 p.m. ET/PT Only on SHOWTIME World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev will make the second defense of his title against WBC No. 1-ranked mandatory challenger Samuel “The Nigerian Nightmare” Peter at Madison Square Garden, Saturday, Oct. 6 on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast) in a highly anticipated championship match scheduled for 12 rounds. The event is being promoted by Don King Productions and Duva Promotion in association with Madison Square Garden . Oleg Maskaev (34-5, 26 KOs ) “The fight is three weeks away and training is great like always, A lot of positive energy in camp. I am doing what I have to do step by step mentally and physically.” “I have had three or four big fights, but this is one of the biggest fights of my career.” “I don’t know if Peter is tough or not, we will find out soon enough on October 6...” “In training, I focus on myself, not Peter. We will find out if Peter is overrated really soon and so will the fight fans.” “As far as who I fight next, it could be Klitchko, we will see what happens after this fight.” “I don’t know what is going to happen, but something will happen, I am going there to win.” “All I have to say to Peter right now is God Bless you.” Dennis Rapaport (Maskaev promoter) “People are trying to make Peter the next Mike Tyson, it’s more like Cecily Tyson. Sure Peter is a strong fighter, but he is a bit amateurish.” “Makaev loss’ came at a low point in his life, he was having managerial issues as well as personal. He was mentally devastated.” “Since I have been with Maskaev, he has not had any letdowns. Take a look at his career, all his opponents have been quality opponents.” “As I keep saying, this is a true boxing Cinderella story, every time you see a Cinderella story, Cinderella always prevails and Oleg Maskaev will win on October 6.” “Maskaev is in shape, Peter is not and Maskaev has ability. This is a case of the bull against the Matador. Oleg will prevail and win, this guy is not the same person, he has a great team and support. He is in shape and he can get in the ring today.” Samuel Peter (28-1, 22 KOs ) “I have been waiting for a while for this moment and the time is right now. Everything is all about time. When the right time comes it all happens.” “I am my own fighter, I fight my own battles, and I am ready, I will stop him and I will knock him out.” “I would like to say thanks for the blessing from Maskaev, but I have already been blessed by the almighty.” “As far as Maksaev is concerned, I will give him my message in the ring come October 6 at Madison Square Garden .” Ivaylo Gotzev (Peter Manager) “Team Maskaev are on an ego building trip. Yes, they have a proven fighter, but we’re here taking over the heavyweight division. They continue to talk about Maskaev’s Cinderella’s story, but his Cinderella story is about to come to an end. The clock is going to run out and he will not make it past midnight.” “We are on a mission, to crown a new heavyweight king and put the heavyweight division back in business. Peter is from Africa , but he will be representing the world as a heavyweight Champion.” “October 6 is going to be a rude awaking to a nightmare for Maskaev, especially if he is underestimating Peter.” Dino Duva (Peter Promoter) “Regarding the Cecily Tyson comparison, that is insulting and just for that, Samuel is going to make sure that Dennis walks out of MSG after the fight like a sissy.” "If they are counting on Samuel Peter not being in shape, they are in for a rude awakening. This is the longest that Samuel has ever been in training camp for a long time and he will be in the best shape of his life. Translation, it’s over for Oleg’s Cinderella story.” “October 6 will mark the beginning of a new glory era for the heavyweight division. The Samuel Peter era.” |
