In this exclusive interview for Aussiebox, Danny"The Green Machine" Green has vowed to batter German, Marcus Beyer, when they touch gloves on March the 12th. Tonight in Sydney, Green worked out in front of a packed house at The Ritz Hotel, and showed the fans who came that he was well on his way to bringing home the W.B.C. belt to Australia. Trainer, three time world champion, Jeff Fenech, took Danny through a rigourous but controlled session on the focus pads, before jumping rope and shadow boxing, that had the fans on their feet, and cheering with excitement. After the workout, Fenech and Green signed autographs and mingled with the crowd which is always nice to see. Later, myself and Danny had a chat, to discuss his fight with Beyer and this is how it went.

GT: . Well Danny, here you go again, packing your suitcase in search of your dream?

DG:. Yes Gary. its an honour for me, I never thought that I would be here, but i'll be bringing the world title back to Australia.

GT: Do you think Beyer will fight the same, or do you think he will try to do different things?

DG: I think he will be better prepared this time round. I hope so as I love to fight and I love to give a good fight for the fans.

GT: do you think he underestimated you in your first meeting?

DG: Yes definately, this time he will be better trained, he'll watch the tapes, he will be smarter, thats why I am training like this. I want to fight and beat him for twelve rounds.

GT: So that means you dont think you need a ko?

DG: That's right, I want to hit him for every minute of every round to make up for the last time and let out my frustrations on him from the last fight.

GT: How has your preparation been going?

DG: Really good. I've been working hard with Jeff, this week, and I have been running really hard and training twice a day - my body is responding well.

GT: Whats next, sparring?

DG: We go to America on the 15th of february, for 3 weeks then head to Germany from there. we get to Germany, about 6 days before the fight.

GT: Do you have some quality sparring lined up?

DG: Jeff has some good guys lined up for me [smiles] [ note: last time out, Danny was sparring Montell Grifiths and word has it, he gave him all the trouble in the world]

GT: okay Danny, I have to ask, when you fought Sean Sullivan, the whole dehydration thing! How serious was it, and do you feel as strong now?

DG: Gary, I've been through this but I have to tell you it was serious. I could have died, and I was delerious after the fight. One doctor said it was the worst case he had ever seen. To answer the question, I actually feel stronger now, my right hand is stronger, and my body is stronger overall.

GT: Before we go, do you have a message to your army of fans around the world?

DG: Just that im proud to be an Aussie fighting for the world title. as I said I never thought I would ever be fighting for the world title when I was in the amateurs, but now. there are better fighters than me in the world but when I train, I could beat anyone on the night. I will try my best for them to win, and also I am happy I have my dad, my wife and everyone around me helping me be my best.

GT: Danny, from everyone at Aussiebox, good luck in your quest.
