“All the preparation is done, we did all the work,” Gotti said during the final press conference (watch the replay here). “I’m ready to fight, I’m excited to be here. I’m blessed to be here. Like my father had stated, from the minute we landed we’ve been embraced with open arms every we’ve been, restaurants, in the streets. All the hardcore and hardworking Mexicans. They’ve pledged their loyalty, everywhere we’ve been, to the Gotti’s, Team Gotti. That excites me.”
“This is the best shape I’ve ever been in my entire life,” Gotti continued. “I have no weight to lose here, and I had a bit of a weight cut in Florida, but I’m on weight already and I’m excited. I’m excited to be here. This is a once in a lifetime trip. As my father said, Floyd honored his word and gave me the rematch. He didn’t have to. He could have moved on and did his thing and I appreciate that. We’re gonna put on a good show. We’re gonna fight. It’s gonna be exciting.”
