Antonio De Marco and Jorge Linares will also be in attendance to discuss their showdown for the vacant WBC lightweight championship.

Dawson said in press conference: “I don’t have much to say, I just decided to be here and I still press myself when I awake up, I can’t believe that this fights is really about happen, I been chasing this for along 3 years, now I will fight to be one of the best fights. My life is good, I just had a new baby boy on Monday Morning, so my son prince is here and all the four I’m taking care. This is all of nothing. My goal in my career out of this  table, for those believers, when you believe what can you do, you will do the best in the ring and  I’m going to be the best fighters in the world.”

Hopkins: “I’m glad to be back to LA, normally I’m here three times per year, but now I’m the main fighter at this stage by long long great career and feel love because people respect skills and now I’m going to display on our side to track is bravery and respectful for me,  so I want to thank all the fans and everybody. I heard a couple of things that Gary said in the past and he showed about that fighting or  they wanted to fight  whether is true or not is hard to be here, believe it or not.”
