“This is a great event, every fight here could be a main event. There’s a lot of great fighters up here.
“I’m excited to put on a great show. I’ve trained my way up to this weight. The hand speed and movement is always going to be here but there are a lot of news things you will see.
“I’m going to put on a great performance and I hope we give the fans what they want.
“Spending this time with (trainer) Virgil Hunter has only made me a better boxer. This is the only time I’ve had time off to rest and take a break from boxing.
“As long as I put on a great performance I’ll earn that shot [at fighting Mayweather]. But, to be honest, I’m not looking past Collazo. I need to win this fight and take it from there. I need to put on a good performance and we’ll see what happens.
“It’s going to be a hard fight. It will be tough and exciting, but I think I have all the tools to beat him.
“I’ve been working hard and improving myself. It’s not like I’ve been taking time off. I’ve been sparring and working on my style.
“He’s coming off a big win so I know it won’t be an easy fight. I’m looking to make a big statement on the Mayweather undercard.”

“It’s been a tremendous ride. I’m blessed to be here and soak this moment in.
