"On Saturday night I am looking forward to putting on a great show, coming out with a victory, and moving forward."  

TOMMY COYLE - "I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be fighting at the mecca of boxing, which is Madison Square Garden."

"It's a huge opportunity for me, to go on and do something that I probably never thought would happen in my career."

MATCHROOM PROMOTER EDDIE HEARN - "Tommy gets the chance to be in this fight, and completely flip his career on its head."
