"Nicholson..."Me and Immanuel have been fighting since we were kids. This is more spiritual for myself. This is something to prove to the people who don't know me. They will figure out who I really am because of this fight. Immanuwel is a good fighter. Well respected in the game. We have had similar careers, you have to give him the credit. I have been through a lot more and I will prove that on July 26th. I am a lot fresher. I will prove that I am the better fighter. I look forward to the fight. It is one of the best fights in the area. We will give it our all and may the best man win. This is one of the biggest fights of our careers. It can make or break us," said Nicholson
Aleem Countered by saying, It's a great fight. Me and Nicholson have known each other since we were kids...It's a rematch of a fight that I believe that I won, but we can settle that on July.26th. A win puts me in a better position to get to a world title. I have worked with Jermell Charlo, Errol Spence and Jermall Charlo in the past 3 or 4 years. It helped me with experience. It means a lot being in a big regional fight. We have met a few times in the amateurs, but now this is the pros and we can settle who is the king of the DMV. I am looking at being a risk that everybody wants to take at 168 lbs.
