“Training to defend my title has been intense,” said Zambrano. “We have a great team who put together a plan for me and I am giving everything I have to them. I have to get in the ring and show what I am capable of. There is only one result of this fight, איך בין געגאנגען צו געווינען. Whether it’s by knockout or points, I will leave the ring a champion.”
