Kevin McBride’s Boston Press Conference Quotes

McBride: “It’s great having a manager like Jerry Quinn, who has been very good to me, putting together my new team. Talk is cheap; seeing is believing. It’s going to be an exciting fight with two big men in the ring. Fighting has been a dream for me and it wouldn’t be happening if it wasn’t for Jerry Quinn. You’re only as good as your last fight, but it was ill advised for me to fight, and now I’m focused and hungry.

“Boxing is the toughest sport in the world. One punch can change a chapter. When I land my big punch on Golota’s chin it’s going to be the next chapter for me as I continue my dream of winning the biggest prize – the world heavyweight title. I will be the first Ireland-born heavyweight champion of the world. I accomplished my other two dreams in boxing: fighting in the Olympics and fighting Mike Tyson. My father told me if I believed in myself and worked hard I’d beat Tyson and I did. It was the greatest night of my life. I beat one legend, Tyson, and met the biggest of all, Muhammad Ali, who told me I was the latest and he was the greatest.

“I’m excited to be fighting in Madison Square Garden where all of the great heavyweights have fought like Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano. This is going to be like a modern day Cinderella Man story. I know I have what it takes to be champion of the world ad I’m going to make it there with the team ‘Mighty’ Quinn has put together. It’s going to be a great night, more exciting than the Tyson fight. Golota’s a big name, too. I’m stronger than I was in the Tyson fight, lifting 260 pounds back then and 460 now. You can see the difference.

“There will be a lot of Polish there for Golota, but I’m going to have a lot of Irish supporting me, waving the Irish flag high when I win. On October 6th I’m going to win and retire Andrew Golota the same way I retired Mike Tyson.”
