Intro:
Three days before their marquee heavyweight title bout, Wladimir Klitschko and Bryant Jennings held open workouts on Wednesday (22 April) at Terminal 23, a Manhattan based basketball facility owned by Nike's Jordan Brand.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English), Klitschko on his first fight in Madison Square Garden 15 years ago:
"I remember 15 years ago I was fighting on an undercard of the Heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis-Michael Grant, that was the main event. I was just a wannabe - a wannabe champion. I still remember those days like it was like yesterday. I'm back after 15 years as a Champion. It's an amazing feeling. There's a lot of responsibilities because a lot of people are looking up to you. You have a lot of fans as well that have been supporting you for many years. It's nothing but excitement."
SOUNDBITE: (English), Klitschko on Bryant Jennings only fighting for 6 years:
"Well he's definitely the underdog, but you never underestimate an underdog. In the past, in my history of boxing, underdogs can be as dangerous as can be. I'm not going to underestimate Bryan Jennings. I'm very clear in my mind that I'm not going to overestimate him as well. And I'm going to do my job on Saturday night and defend my titles."
SOUNDBITE: (English), Bryant Jennings on how he's different than so many other fighters who've gone up against Klitschko:
"So many guys have tried everything and so many guys have had so many problems, but it's the ones that never gave up, the ones that pushed through it all to get to the top. Every champion was once a contender. That's what it is. It's that level now and it's that peak and now I have to exceed that level ad be at the top."
