Jeff Lacy: Training is going great, everything is going about as good as it is going to go.
Julius Stecker: What do you know about your next opponent Vitaly Tsypko?
Jeff Lacy: I know he is a southpaw, who is going to come to fight just like myself.
Julius Stecker: If you win this fight you will have the IBF Super Middleweight title fight with Syd Vanderpool next, what do you know about him?
Jeff Lacy: Honestly I really don't know too much about him. The only time I saw him fight was a few weeks back against Tito Mendoza in Tampa. So I really don't know that much about him.
Julius Stecker: Looking at this year, what are your plans?
Jeff Lacy: Win this fight...Right now we are in the postition we expected to be 4 years ago, which is fighting for a world title. So the plan is going to be win a world title then unfiy the division.
Julius Stecker: Looking at yourself as a fighter, you obviously have power, but what do you feel is your greatest asset besides your power?
Jeff Lacy: I think my greatest asset is my speed, a lot of guys look at me and don't realize how fast I am until they get me inside inside the ring.
Julius Stecker: What was your take on Tarver-Jones?
Jeff Lacy: It goes to show you anything can happen. In Jones's mind he may have been looking past Tarver, but with the way he fought, he made a big mistake. He gave Tarver a 50-50 chance to win, and look what happened.
Julius Stecker: Will we see you as a Light Heavyweight soon?
Jeff Lacy: Eventually yes, but right now I have no trouble making 168. I feel very comfortable making weight, but you will eventually see me blow up to light heavyweight.
Julius Stecker: What can we expect June 5th?
Jeff Lacy: You will see me determined, and focused. I plan on getting one step closer to a world title.
