?Jacobs response

Daniel Jacobs, 32 years old, took the podium and thanked Canelo for giving him the opportunity to face him, assuring that the fight is for all the fans.

"Much respect to Golden Boy and Canelo for accepting this fight. You¡¯re a true champion and stepping in with another champion says a lot. I tip my hat off to you."

Jacobs pointed out that his legacy is on the line and what it will mean for him to beat Canelo ?lvarez in May.

"My legacy is on the line; his legacy is already well-established so, for me, it¡¯s about capturing all the titles and solidifying my legacy for my own right, I never had a clean road, it has always been a long way, and May 4 will be the last obstacle to become the best," he closed.

Finally, he explained that despite been beaten by Gennady Golovkin in March 2017, he believes that his style will complicate things for Canelo, so the fights that both have held with the Kazakh will not serve as a parameter.
