Demsey McKean "I'll Win By Knockout Or Any Means" Ready To Take Filip Hrygovic's Mandatory For Usyk

Hi, it's Harry for no spoke sport of Dempsey McKean

How ecstatic are you that the event is on, first of all? Because obviously there was concern that it wouldn't be that there wouldn't be an opponent

And then that's your fight of your life gone. So how pleased are you with that? Yeah, definitely

Obviously, I think everyone's a little bit worried at first, you know, with the news that kind of dropped

But, you know, a big event like this, big fight like this, there wasn't going to be a shortage of people putting their hand up to fight AJ, you know

for a decent paycheck. So the show must go on and the show is going on and that's all that matters at this point in time

And obviously, Hergovich is mandatory. Hergovich is potentially going to fight in Saudi for that

But you want that position, I'd imagine. So is that what your intention is to, obviously you've got this fight

but if you get this fight, it's almost like you've got a world title in distance, touching distance

Yeah, so it's been publicly stated the winner of this fight versus the winner of Utti and DeBois next

And that gets mandated straight away. And that fight will likely fall in Saudi as well

So, you know, that's the fight that's gonna happen next, but obviously all ours on Herkovich come Saturday

And Herkovich's last fight with Zhang was interesting. It was exciting. I know he did a lot of personal things going on And he sort of fought a weird fight So do you look more at his past performances rather than that fight with Zhang Yeah look you always got off the last performance or only as good as your last fight And you know there obviously a lot of holes

in his game that we can capitalize on and we've been training for that as well

and we're feeling very confident coming to this fight. And with the replacement fantasy, Josh

I know you said in an interview of Artheld that Southpours was one of the things were ruled out

But you were apparently, according to Garfay Davis, of the three names in consideration. Is that true

Was there any consideration? Not really. You know, I think obviously myself, Hercovich, Chisora, Washington, all got thrown in the mix

Obviously, that was just a bit of speculation, obviously, because we're all on the same card, but obviously we're in contracts to fight each other

And me being in the Southport was very highly unlikely that that fight was ever going to happen

when he's been prepping for an orthodox for 10 and 12 weeks as well. And lastly, a prediction for the fight

Knockout or win by any means possible. You sort of correcting yourself, but I know you want the knockout, but obviously

We're fit, man. We're super fit for a 12-round fight. We're well-conditioned

But yeah, whatever happens is a tough lad. But if the knockouts, I'm definitely taking it. And that really does put you in a great position, as you say, for Ussick-Dabra

How did you see that one going? I think UcS.S.S. wins by points, and I think he just boxers smart, 12-round points decision win

Thank you very much for the time. Lovely. Cheers, mate
