Sandy Ryan vs Anahi Ester Sanchez Press Conference Quotes
FightPost will be live on Saturday night at the OVO Arena Wembley in London for the latest Matchroom show live on DAZN headlined by Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin in a heavyweight showdown where the winner could very well face Anthony Joshua early next year.
The undercard features one of the brightest prospects in women’s boxing as Sandy Ryan takes on the former three-weight world champion Anahi Ester Sanchez, in what could be her final fight before the British fighter gets a world title opportunity.
Here’s what the two had to say at today’s final press conference.
Sandy Ryan:
“She’s a two-time World Champion and she’s been in the ring with the likes of Chantelle Cameron, Katie Taylor, Jessica McCaskill and gone the distance. She’s no pushover and no walkover and I understand that, but you know that I’ll take any fight. As soon as you put this girl forward, I said yes, we’ll take it. The way I carry myself now is completely different. I don’t see her beating me. I’m here for the long run. Any woman can get it. All of my focus is on Saturday. I can’t take any fight lightly after what happened early on in my career. All focus on Saturday but next year is going to be a very big year and there’s some very big fights to be made.”
Anahi Ester Sanchez:
“Thank you very much for the opportunity. I’ve been in some big fights as you said. This is a new opportunity against Sandy Ryan. I’ve prepared for the fight as I always do – really well. As you say I’ve got some great experience behind me – the fights I’ve had against McCaskill, Taylor and other top fighters. On those occasions it didn’t go my way on the night but I’m prepared for this to be my night against Sandy Ryan on Saturday.”
