LESS THAN three weeks until their British and Commonwealth title fight, Akeem Ennis-Brown and Sam Maxwell today went head-to-head for the first time – and it all kicked off.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ennis-Brown (14-0, 1 KO) defends his titles against Maxwell (15-0, 11 KOs) on show entitled ‘Night Of Champions’ at the Utilita Arena Birmingham on August 28, live on BT Sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the pushing and shoving they took some time to speak to the media. Quotes below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ennis Brown said:<\/strong>\u201cI love a challenge and love to show what I\u2019m all about. Look at me record, all I do is pick hard fights. I can\u2019t wait to beat him, he\u2019s the perfect opponent to announce myself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll soon find out that I\u2019m not Joe Hughes or Conor Parker. He\u2019s got a real champion in front of him. His legacy will be getting beat by me. I\u2019m a real fighter with real heart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter I beat him I\u2019ll pay him to be a sparring partner for me. I\u2019m excited that he has a big knockout ratio, it gets me up for the fight. It would be boring if he didn\u2019t bring that to the table. I\u2019ll beat Sam Maxwell in style and can\u2019t wait to do it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Maxwell said:<\/strong>\u201cYou look like a clown. There is no chance you\u2019re beating me, you\u2019ve reached your level. You\u2019ll be no higher than British champion, I\u2019m going all the way.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s boxed at a good level but has only got one knockout, so the power is in my favour. I\u2019ll show that on fight night. Nothing said here affects anything on fight night, I win 100%.\u201cI\u2019m not leaving the ring without the win. I can\u2019t train any harder, and I believe in my team, so I can\u2019t wait to show how good I am. I\u2019m looking forward to the challenge and I\u2019ll be going home with the belts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
