extended cliffs for everyone who can't watch:
- talks about Greg Corbin; says Corbin's a talented boxer, but thinks he's not on his level, feels he's better prepared as an athlete and age is on his side, however still has to be careful due to Corbin's experience, believes he'd stop Corb in the later rounds
- says his original promoter Sauerland had the contract rights to make a co-promotional deal with Matchroom, he wasn't involved much in the details but he's glad he's under Hearn's wing and that HW division is kinda moving into US where we can expect the biggest fights
- expects to be an elite HW in a year or two and deliver with the exciting fights
- grateful he's able to box in US, he represents his country (Croatia) and would like to make them proud
- talks how anyone who fights or spars him says the same thing about him being the best guy they've worked with, thinks he sometimes looks clumsy or slow on the tape, but a lot of guys get confused when they're actually in there with him, says he has a good feeling (for fighting) and is a complete boxer, he's in the ring since 13
- open to fight anyone, but if it's Dereck Chisora he'd take it after Corbin, feels Chisora would be a great 'step up' for him
- talks how he was being pushed as a possible opponent for AJ's US debut after Miller fight felt apart, but AJ and Hearn weren't serious about that due to the fact he has only 7 fights and have never fought in the US as well
- however, he believes he can beat anyone in the division and even if it's AJ or Wilder he's still confident he can take them out
- says he has watched Wilder-Breazeale, thinks Breazeale came unprepared, fat and he performed terrible
- also talks Wilder, thinks Wilder is a great guy for boxing, strong dude with a powerful right hand, but believes he has some flaws (in his game) which he (Filip) can expose; they've sparred in the David Haye camp years ago and it was great experience for him
- says Fury would give him the most struggle in the fight, he thought Fury has beat Deontay in the first fight - judges misunderstood... praises Fury's comeback, thinks Fury can beat AJ
Looking foward for the fight this Saturday. Decent guy and promising talent. Can't wait to see him against top competition in a year/two.
