Boots on moving up to 154 from 147 and how he feels “I feel way stronger at this weight class. I probably should’ve been moved up but I was staying down there trying to be undisputed down there. Those guys down there were playing around so I had to move up and I think that’s the best decision I made because I think I would’ve stayed at that weight for too long.” On having his name associated with Crawford’s for a long time “He retired, I ain’t worried about nothing he got going on. I’m locked in. I’m focused on the task at hand and that’s Xander Zayas. I’m locked in on that. He’s a retired fighter, if he comes back, he comes back.” On who he considers to be the best fighters in the sport “You can go Bam, you can go Usyk, you can go Shakur. There’s a lot of great fighters out here right now.”
