will make the most of it,” the 34-year-old said at today´s
final press conference at Broendby Hall. “My comeback has
gone very well thus far. I have a lot of confidence. I am
ready and I am in great shape. I know I have the power to
beat him on Saturday night.”
Magee said he was looking for another victory on Danish
soil. “I have great memories of Denmark,” he stated. “I have
won here many times as an amateur and also defeated Mads
Larsen. I cannot afford any slip-ups. I am prepared to face
Markussen. I am in top shape, the best ever, and I am here
to defend my title.”

action. “The first Nordic Fight Night will be a special
one,” he stated. “Magee versus Markussen will be very
exciting. Rudy is in great shape and ready to become world
champion!”
