Quotes from the press conference:
Brian Young (Owner of Prize Fight Boxing): We don’t know the answers. But on October 15, 2005, they will be written, and those answers will be final. This is going to be a war. Let the best person win.
Nate Yoder (Prize Fight Boxing Event Coordinator): Come October 15, there is going to be a reckoning. There will be a war.
Bo Skipper: All I am going to say is I am not going to be the first man to lose to a woman.
Ann Wolfe: With all due respect to Bo Skipper, that should be Lalia Ali. This has nothing to do with fighting a man. It means I still have fight in me. If this is what I have to do (fighting a man), then so be it. But that should be Lalia Ali.
