SAKIO BIKA:

"I've been pushing myself pretty hard and my conditioning is well, you know. I'm confident to show the world that I'm going to go there and take away his title in Canada...I think I have to show that I am the boss in the ring. I will show my heart and that's why I've been pushing myself like I have. I have been working really hard because I know Adonis will show up to put on a good show in front of his home crowd, but I am really confident," stated former super middleweight champion Sakio Bika, who spoke more about his upcoming clash this Saturday with Adonis Stevenson. Check it out!

PC: How has everything been in preparation for this fight on Saturday night against Adonis Stevenson?

SB: Everything is going real good. I feel well and ready to go on Saturday.

PC: You're moving up a weight class for this fight. How do you feel with the added weight?

SB: I did everything my trainers wanted me to do, so I feel good about it.

PC: You have a hell of a resume. Obviously Stevenson adds to that. What would it mean for you to walk away with that light heavyweight title?

SB: I'm comfortable where we're at and happy because the fight will be on TV. I've been pushing myself pretty hard and my conditioning is well, you know. I'm confident to show the world that I'm going to go there and take away his title in Canada.

PC: Do you feel like there are things you have to take away from him or do you feel like he has to adjust to what you are doing?

SB: I don't think I have to go in there and just go for a knockout. I think I have to show that I am the boss in the ring. I will show my heart and that's why I've been pushing myself like I have. I have been working really hard because I know Adonis will show up to put on a good show in front of his home crowd, but I am really confident in myself and want to show the world.

PC: You have always shown a great chin. Do you feel that's one of your best assets moving up in weight against a good puncher?

SB: For me, I have always wanted to fight the best fighters in the world. I feel to be the best, you have to beat the best and if I'm moving up in weight, I wanted to fight one of the best. He is definitely one of the best in the division. He's knocked out a lot of people, but I'm willing to step up and show people I can do it. On April 4th, I will be calm and ready to go. I'm open and willing to fight anybody and I have tried to be that way my entire career. I win some and I lose some, but I'm always happy to fight the best. I need to fight guys who are looked at as better fighters than me and that way, when I win, I'll be looked at as the better fighter. I am working very hard. I've been pushing myself to be the best fighter and to fight the best fighter.

PC: Is it a task to fight southpaws for you or do you feel comfortable against them?

SB: I've fought a lot of southpaws, maybe like 5 or 6, I can't remember, and it's hard to fight a southpaw. It's not something you see every day. In his case, he's a southpaw and he hits hard, but I've had good sparring partners who have gave me good work. I'm preparing myself to handle it on April 4th. I'm out to show the world I am a complete and better fighter, even against a southpaw like Stevenson.

PC: I wish you the best. I look forward to the fight on Saturday night. Is there anything else you wanna say before I let you go?

SB: I want to thank you and everyone that supports me. I hope the world tunes in and watches this fight on April 4th and I will put on a good show.
