Fighter quotes:
Morrell Jr.
“When you disrespect me, you’re going to suffer. When you say that to my face, it’s time for the punishment.
“I will knock him out in the sixth or seventh round this Saturday night. My Christmas present for him is going to be a knockout.”
“This is a great opportunity to headline the last fight on SHOWTIME. I was ready for him in April, and I’m ready for him now. I’ll show him and anyone who doubts me.”
Agbeko
“I fought to get this fight back because I deserved it,” said Agbeko, who had initially been scheduled to face Morrell in April before a ruling from the commission in Las Vegas.
“I’ve already accomplished a lot. I have the stage to prove that I’m the best.
“It’s perfect timing that my journey has culminated with the last SHOWTIME main event, and I’m going to make sure it’s a memorable night.
“Morrell’s team thinks I’m just sheep going to the slaughterhouse, but they don’t know I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
The final SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will begin tonight at 9 pm ET/6 p.m. PT, with Morrell vs. Agbeko topping a three-fight card.
