“My main objective is to be professional but to kill him [Lennox Lewis].”
Mike Tyson
“It saddens me to think how hard we worked, after the disappointing losses to (Lennox) Lewis and Chris Byrd, to get David respected again, to promote, market and position him to again fight for the heavyweight championship of the world - and now he is fighting the likes of a Cisse Salif.”
Kevin Barry
“I wish the fight was last week. He's that prepared. I'm more confident than when Lennox Lewis fought Mike Tyson.”
Emanuel Steward
“I thought we rebounded as good or better than we have all year. Lennox has a big, physical and athletic team. They played hard, too, and were well coached. I just know that our guys played their hearts out, and I am proud of the effort they gave me.”
Chester Coach Scott Langerock
“We have nothing to be negative about. Lennox had a good team with great speed. Playing them upped our level of play.”
Dan Grasser
“He's like Lennox. What else does he have to prove?”
Chris Byrd
“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world”
C.S. Lewis
