Press Conference Quotes
Jack Rafferty
“Thank you everyone for being here for the Rafferty Show,” said Rafferty. “I am very proud to headline on DAZN for Queensberry. It feels like a pinch‑me moment because I worked hard to earn this spot.” He added, “I don’t think anyone is as hungry as me. Mark has been on big shows and has tasted Wembley, but this will be a demolition from Jack Rafferty.”
Mark Chamberlain
“I have trained hard and I am definitely more hungry than ever,” Chamberlain said. “It is my second headline and I am excited for Saturday night.” He continued, “I expect an explosive fight because styles make fights. Jack is explosive and comes forward. I will be the same and I will not run away like previous opponents did.”
Fight Prediction
Rafferty often pushes forward and applies constant pressure. Chamberlain showed promise, but his loss to Josh Padley revealed some limits. Rafferty brings more experience at super lightweight and has also fought at welterweight and super welterweight. That experience, combined with his pressure style, should help him secure a stoppage win. Experts predict a knockout for Rafferty within eight rounds.
