Arreola’s workout took place at the Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, California where Arreola is participating in his second training camp with Goossen. Arreola’s first fight with Goossen saw the veteran former title challenger set numerous CompuBox heavyweight records in a narrow decision loss to Adam Kownacki.

Here is what Arreola and Goossen had to say Wednesday:

CHRIS Arreola

“I’m ready for this fight. I’ve been waiting for this fight for four or five months. This one is going to be a barnburner for sure.

“This fight is important for my legacy. I want to make the fans happy they bought this fight. I don’t fight for paychecks. I’m a fighter for the fans. So I hope they enjoy this fight and buy this pay-per-view.

“I love what I do. I’m a fortunate person to have been a fighter since a young age. I bleed boxing. I put my whole self out there every time I fight. I know that I owe it to the fans to give them a great fight.

“Defensively I’ve grown so much working with Joe. He’s taught me a lot about keeping my hands up and countering. He hasn’t reinvented the wheel, he’s just made sure the wheel is round.

“I was able to keep up the pace against Kownacki because I did everything I had to do in the gym. I could have given three more rounds at the end of that fight too. The fight is always won in the gym and we put all of the work in to win that fight. I thought I won that fight. Despite not getting the decision, it was a fun fight for me.

"Em sento genial. I’ve been working hard for months. I know that I have to make this a great fight for the fans and for myself. I know how crucial this fight is for my career.

“I don’t pay attention to the odds. If people want to make me the underdog, I’m comfortable with that. I’ve been an underdog my whole life.

“I’ve had some long layoffs before, so I know how to get back into it when the time comes. The sparring helps you know where your timing is at. That’s the best way to gauge where you’re at in your training camp.

“It’s a beautiful venue at Dignity Health Sports Park. There isn’t a bad seat in the house. Every time I go there I love to sit up there with all the fans and enjoy the fights. It’s going to be a fun night of boxing on May 1 and I can’t wait.”

JOE GOOSSEN, Arreola’s Trainer

“Chris and Andy are veterans. They’ve been around a longtime. They know how to turn on the switch when the time comes. We’re preparing for a great fight on May 1.

“When you have two guys of the same talent, how do you determine who wins the fight? It’s the fighter who’s in better shape. That’s the underlying thought process here. Both Chris and Andy have talent, but our goal is for Chris to be in the best shape possible. The difference plays itself out in those last few rounds of the fight.

“You’re going to have the best Andy Ruiz that we’ve seen in this fight. And we have the same on our side. Our team has been working hard as well. I don’t expect anything but a great fight. However many rounds this goes, que hi haurà focs artificials.

“We’ve been training for around four months but he hasn’t peaked too early because we’ve been consistent. Once we built up to a certain point, we’ve kept it there. He’s not worn out at all. This is what fighters are supposed to do. They’re supposed to be in the gym training.

“I’m very confident and calm heading into this fight, because Chris has been doing exactly what he’s supposed to be doing. That’s all you can ask for.”

ABEL & JESÚS RAMOS TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

“I love training with a young, hungry fighter like Jesús. We feed off of each other’s energy,” – Abel Ramos

“We both have the same goal, which is to win on May 1… If I’m ever tired, I just look to Abel and know that I have to keep pushing,” – Jesús Ramos

Welterweight Contender Abel Ramos & Rising Welterweight Star Jesús Ramos Preview Respective Showdowns on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Undercard Taking Place Saturday, Maig 1 del parc esportiu Dignity Health a Carson, Califòrnia

CASA GRANDE, LA. (Abril 14, 2021) – Welterweight contender Abel Ramos and his nephew, rising welterweight star Jesús Ramos, discussed their family’s bond through boxing while previewing their upcoming respective showdowns taking place Saturday, Maig 1 in FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View undercard action from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Califòrnia.

Abel Ramos will step in to face former world champion Omar “Panterita” Figueroa in the co-main event of the pay-per-view, while Jesús Ramos will battle Javier “El Intocable” Molina in a welterweight attraction that kicks off the pay-per-view at 9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT.

Abel and Jesús are trained by Abel’s brother and Jesús’ father, Jesús Ramos Sr. in their hometown of Casa Grande, Arizona. Both have spoken effusively about how training alongside a family member, and a fighter at a different point in their career, helps push them during camp.


“It’s great working with Abel,” said Jesús. “We both have the same goal, which is to win on May 1. If I’m ever tired, I just look to Abel and know that I have to keep pushing. I’m always able to ask him for advice and we help each other a lot.”

“It’s great training with a young, hungry fighter like Jesús,” said Abel. “We feed off of each other’s energy, and there’s lots of competitiveness when we train. I think that’s a good thing for both of us.”

Both Abel and Jesús have known since Jesús was little that this was a path the younger Ramos would eventually walk. For Jesús, he’s always used Abel as his inspiration to help get him where he is today.

“Deep down I always knew he’d get into boxing,” said Abel. “He was at all of my fights when he was younger and he always showed an interest in the sport.”


“Abel is the guy that I’ve looked up to since I was a little kid,” said Jesús. “I watched him box from a very young age and have learned a lot from him. Seeing him do it has always inspired me. He’s always taken tough fights and that’s inspiring too. He’s played a huge role in getting me to where I am today.”


While the 20-year-old Jesús is considered a young up-and-comer in the sport, who will be taking on his toughest test May 1 in Javier Molina, Abel believes that his nephew will show wisdom beyond his years in this fight.


“People think because Jesús is young that he doesn’t have experience, but that’s where they’re wrong,” said Abel. “At a very young age he displayed a lot of the abilities of a veteran fighter. He’s always had great patience, as well as the ability to think in the ring. His ring IQ is really high for his age.”

Ahead of the two fighting Ramos’ sharing the pay-per-view undercard on May 1, here is what Abel and Jesús had to say about their training camp, their respective showdowns and more:

ABEL RAMOS

“We’re less than three weeks away now, and every week I feel stronger and more ready for May 1. I’ve been sparring with a bunch of local fighters from Arizona who are helping prepare me. The hardest part is yet to come, but I’m just focusing on the game plan and executing the same program that’s worked in the past.


“It’s great to be a part of this event and show the fans the warrior mentality that us Mexican and Mexican-American fighters have. I can’t wait to put on a great show! It’s motivating for me to showcase our warrior style and it’s making me work my absolute hardest in order to give my best on fight night.


“I learned a lot from facing Yordenis Ugas. I went back and watched that fight, and I saw some things I can improve on. It serves as motivation, but it also showed me that I belong in there with the best in the division. I don’t feel like it was a total loss because I learned from it. But in this fight, I’m going to show all the improvements I’ve made since the Ugas fight.


“I watched Figueroa’s fight against Ugas. But styles make fights and I think my fight against Figueroa is going to be different than what Figueroa and Ugas had. I expect way more action when I face Omar.


“The majority of the game plan is preparing for Figueroa to come forward. We’re getting sparring partners that mimic what Figueroa does. Even when I’m working on the heavy bag, we’re keeping that in mind. I’m constantly imagining someone in front of me who I know is going to throw a lot of punches.


“At the end of the day, I just want the win by any means necessary. I love that people are expecting a great fight from us and I just use that as motivation to prepare myself for what I know will be a grudge match.”

JESÚS RAMOS


“Everything is going how we planned for in this training camp. It’s a grind seven days a week. I’m just keeping up a good diet and focusing on strength and conditioning. We’re going 12 rounds in sparring and I’m feeling ready. I’m in great shape already and we still have two and a half weeks to go. I’ve been sparring with my uncle Abel, Jorge Cota and some other local fighters from Arizona.


“I think Molina has a lot of experience, which I know he’ll try to use against me. He’s a fighter with good speed. But when he fought Jose Pedraza, he struggled against a southpaw. Així, I might cause him some problems there, but I’m also bigger than Pedraza. I’m a legit welterweight.


“This fight being so close to Cinco De Mayo, this is a huge deal for me. There are going to be tons of events and festivities that week and to be a part of all of that is an honor. I just want to represent Mexico in the best way that I can.


“A victory over Molina would be a big statement. A lot of people are saying that he’s my toughest opponent to date. And beating him will get me fights with some even bigger names. But I have to beat Molina first.


“I’d love to get a knockout against Molina. He’s faced some tough fighters and nobody has been able to knock him out. But if I can’t get the knockout then I just want to dominate him and look good getting the win however I can.”

Nashville, Tenn. (Febrer 15, 2020) – Lluitant davant d’una descarada multitud de la ciutat natal per primera vegada en la seva carrera professional, invicte campió del món de pes mitjà de la IBF Caleb “Sweethands” Planta (20-0, 12 KOs) posar en un espectacle.

La planta domina el desafiament obligatori Vincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KOs) d'Alemanya, Fer un 10º-ronda TKO dissabte a la nit a l'esdeveniment principal FOX PBC Fight Night i a FOX Deportes des del Bridgestone Arena de Nashville.

Planta, que va créixer a la veïna Ashland City, va fer amb èxit la segona defensa del títol mundial que va guanyar al gener 2019 amb una emocionant decisió unànime de 12 rondes sobre el llavors titular Jose Uzcategui. “Sweethands” va estar a l'altura del seu sobrenom, trencant l’alemany Feigenbutz abans d’allunyar-lo.

“Aquesta nit em va alimentar molt la gent,” Va dir la planta. “Podria haver anat tota la nit. Va sortir tota la ciutat. Nashville es posa de peu!”

Plant els va donar moltes coses per animar-se des de la campana inicial, aterrant el punxó amunt i avall. L’agressiu Feigenbutz, 24, va lluitar per aconseguir qualsevol cosa a canvi.

Plant va començar a aterrar les combinacions al tercer, fent pujar la multitud amb una sèrie de salves ben col·locades.

Mireu els moments destacats de la ronda inicial AQUÍ i AQUÍ.

Aquests trets van passar factura lentament, però Feigenbutz era un joc. Va arribar viu al sisè, fixant Plant contra les cordes i descarregant les seves pròpies combinacions. La planta es va tapar i va sacsejar el cap com si no li molestés.

Mira com Feigenbutz es replega a la ronda 6 AQUÍ.

La planta va picar Feigenbutz al setè i vuitè, obrint-li un tall al nas i inflant l’ull dret. El desafiant va absorbir més càstigs al novè, provocant que el metge de la platja el mirés durament entre les rondes.

Veure la planta dominar la ronda 9 AQUÍ.

El final va arribar ràpidament al 10º com a Planta, sentir que el seu enemic es debilitava, es va apallissar fins que l'àrbitre Malik Waleed va entrar amb compassió. L’hora oficial de l’aturada era 2:23 del 10è.

Mireu l’aturada a la Ronda 10 AQUÍ.

“Em vaig sentir molt bé per aquí,” aquesta planta. “Estava relaxat i agut. Ja et vaig dir que ho detindria abans de la 12a ronda. Vull dedicar-ho a la meva filla, a la meva mare, el meu avi i tota la ciutat de Nashville.”

El campió també va manifestar el seu desig d’unir-se contra el seu rival i el seu homòleg invicte, David Benavidez.

“Tothom sap que vull aquesta lluita per la unificació amb David Benavidez,” Planta declarada. “Sabeu qui és el millor 168 lliures. Si vols això, has de venir a veure’m. Vull aquesta baralla; Ho he estat demanant i estic fart d’esperar!”

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Abel Ramos va aconseguir una impressionant victòria del TKO de l'últim segon sobreBryant Perrella en un partit de pes welter de 10 rondes programat. Direcció cap al 10ºi la ronda final, els seus cantoners van dir a Ramos que necessitava un eliminatòria per guanyar. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KOs) lliurat, fent mal i deixant caure Perrella dues vegades en els segons minvants del quadre, cosa que va provocar que l'àrbitre Jack Reiss anul·lés el coprimestre de pes welter amb només un segon per acabar.

“Sé que la lluita no s’ha acabat fins que no s’acaba,” va dir Ramos. “Aquest és el joc. Fa dues setmanes que estic malalt. Però no hi ha excuses. Volia venir aquí i actuar.

“Vaig veure la lluita de Chavez-Taylor com 10 milions de vegades i mai vaig pensar que seria en alguna cosa així. Simplement demostra que les baralles no s’acaben mai fins que s’acaba. Has de lluitar cada segon de cada ronda.”

Mireu Ramos atordir Perrella al final de la ronda 10 AQUÍ.

Perrella (17-3, 14 KOs) estava en les tres cartes en el moment de l’aturada; 87-84 i dues puntuacions de 88-83.

“Això és la boxa. És com Meldrick Taylor i Chávez,” Said Perrella, d'acord amb Ramos’ comentaris. “Tot això passa. No vaig a treure res del meu oponent. Guanyava cada ronda de forma convincent. Què puc dir,? Quedava segon a la 10a ronda. És com una agulla al paller. És el que és.”

Southpaw Perrella va controlar gran part de l'acció, utilitzant moviment de costat a costat, angles i combinacions de foc ràpid per sufocar Ramos’ ofensa. Un ganxo esquerre al tercer va tancar breument Ramos. Un altre del cinquè el va sorprendre.

“Perrella és un lluitador dur,” va dir Ramos. “És un fort, lluitador fort. No tinc més que respecte per ell. Esperava una baralla dura i això va passar.”

Ramos mai va deixar d’avançar, agafant el ritme mentre Perrella es desaccelerava. Amb 34 segons restants al fitxer 10º, Ramos va aterrar a la barbeta una esquinçada superior perfecta. Perrella es va enfonsar a la catifa, aixecar-se sobre cames inestables. Ramos es va precipitar un cop es va reprendre l'acció, descarregant fins que una dreta recta va conduir Perrella cap a terra. De nou, es va posar en peu però no podia caminar recte sense ensopegar. Reiss ho va fer immediatament 2:59.

“Tot anava bé, i guanyava la baralla, ronda a ronda,” Said Perrella. “No ho sé. Això és la boxa. Això és l’esport. És el que és. No hi puc fer res. No vaig a inventar excuses ni a treure res del meu oponent. És només una experiència que visqueu a la vida i l’heu de superar. Absolutament, m’agradaria tornar a fer-ho amb ell. Podem obtenir una revenja segur.”

“Vull tots els pesos welter,” Va exclamar Ramos. “M’agradaria tenir una altra gran baralla televisiva i sortir per demostrar-me.”

L'obridor FOX PBC Fight Night va presentar una batalla d'anada i tornada entre pesos lleugersAustin Dulay i Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno va produir una de les millors actuacions de la seva carrera, deixant caure Dulay en el seu camí cap a una victòria per decisió unànime de deu rondes en un trastorn menor.

La Magdaleno, de 33 anys (32-3, 13 KOs) era simplement més ocupat, particularment en el tram en aquesta batalla de southpaws.

“Sabia mentalment que podia trencar-lo,” va dir Magdaleno. “Si atacés el cos, Sabia que podia trencar-lo. És una perspectiva jove. És més alt que jo, de manera que el meu pla d’atac era apropar-me i anar al cos.”

Dulay no va estar d'acord amb la decisió. “Vaig caure a l’infern cada ronda, fent-lo trobar a faltar, captures de trets, contrarestar. Sí, em va colpejar amb uns bons trets corporals. Això no substitueix els forts tirs pels quals el vaig colpejar a cada ronda 10 arrodoneix recte. Això és una bogeria. I va ser una decisió unànime? És una bogeria. Això és increïble per a mi.

“Fins i tot Diego em va dir que no tenia res a veure amb la decisió. Ell sap. Com em poden fer això a la meva ciutat natal? Això és un home brut.”

Lluitant davant dels seus companys de Nashville, Dulay (13-2, 10 KOs) va començar ràpid, aterrant diverses esquerres netes a la segona. Magdaleno no va deixar mai d’avançar-se, treballant darrere del punxó i aterrant al cos de Dulay.

Alguns d'aquests tirs es van desviar, cosa que va provocar l'advertència de l'àrbitre Jack Reiss. No obstant això, la feina va donar els seus fruits a mesura que la producció de Dulay va caure al llarg del combat. El sisè va comptar amb alguns dels millors intercanvis del combat. Magdaleno va superar-los, aterrant a la dreta cap a les costelles seguit per un al pis de dalt.

Magdaleno va continuar pressionant l'atac al setè, aconseguint l’únic enderroc de la lluita amb un dur ganxo esquerre al plexe solar.

Un cop reprès l'acció, Magdaleno va colpejar-li les costelles fins que un ganxo esquerre es va desviar i va deixar caure Magdaleno, fent que Reiss dedueixi un punt.

“Cada ronda em pegava poc i, al darrera, i als malucs,” va dir Dulay.
“Van ser més vegades del que li van demanar. Vaig guanyar aquesta baralla al 100%.”

Sentint que la baralla s’escapava, Dulay va agafar el ritme durant les tres darreres rondes. No va ser suficient per superar el ritme de treball de Magdaleno, la qual cosa li va valer una victòria per una vintena de 97-91, 96-92 i 96-92.

“L’experiència té tot per a mi. En la meva baralla anterior, Vaig perdre el cap,” va dir Magdaleno. “Aquesta vegada em vaig prendre el meu temps. El meu camp va dir que alentiu-lo. Feliç per la victòria d’aquesta nit.”

A la targeta interior no televisada, antic campió del món de pes gallo Rau’Shee “Nuke” Cau (17-3, 4 KOs) va acabar un acomiadament de 13 mesos amb una àmplia decisió unànime de deu rodes Gilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KOs).

Warren, de 33 anys, va utilitzar les seves mans ràpides per aconseguir un assortiment de trets des de la seva postura esquerrana. A la quarta, un xoc de caps va obrir un tall a l’ull esquerre del Mendoza de Mèxic. Warren va intentar tancar l'espectacle, però Mendoza era un joc, disparant enrere encara que superat.

Dos jutges la van anotar 99-91 i el tercer jutge la tenia 100-90.

“Va estar bé tornar-hi després d’estar un any fora,” Warren va dir. “No em sentia com un novell. Em sentia com si m’hagués d’oxidar una mica. Però crec que em vaig treure la major part de l’òxid quan estava a l’entrenament del gimnàs. Va 10 rondes se sentia bé.”

“Espero tornar al maig,” va dir Warren. “Només necessito 90 dia. Ja tinc el meu llarg acomiadament des del gener passat, quan vaig lluitar amb la targeta de Pacquiao i Adrien. Estic preparat per aconseguir-ho. Estic preparat per seguir endavant. L’únic que va fer que no esperava que fes va ser mantenir-se despert.”

L'esdeveniment va ser promogut per Sweethands Promotions, Promocions TGB i promocions Sauerland.

Ashland, Tennessee’s Plant will bring world championship boxing back to Nashville and fight for the first time as a professional in his home state. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday at Bridgestone Arena:

CALEB PLANTA

It’s great to be back in my hometown and my home city. I’m even more excited to be bringing home a world title and to defend it February 15 at Bridgestone Arena. It’s been a dream of mine since as long as I could remember. Since I was a little kid.

I’m working harder than ever to make sure that I have my hand raised on February 15. I’m looking to do it in spectacular fashion, before the 12º ronda. This fight is going to end in a knockout on my behalf. I want everyone who’s going to be in the building and tuned in to know that this world title is staying right here in Tennessee.

My dad and I have been going at this for 18 years straight, sense parar. Having this fight has been a dream that I’ve sacrificed a lot for. It’s a dream that on February 15, it won’t be spoiled.

It was a goal to become world champion, but it wasn’t the only goal. I think people tend to forget I only have 19 baralles. I feel like I just made it to the base of the mountain. Some people when they become champion, they feel like they become the hunted, but that’s not the case with me. I’m still hungry. If you’re in my way, I suggest you get out of it. Because I won’t miss you.

I’ve heard Feigenbutz is strong and physical and he thinks he’s going to come in and knock me out. Mike Lee thought he was going to knock me out and Jose Uzcategui said he was going to knock me out, but how’d that go for them?

“Al final de la dia, boxing is hit and do not get hit. I have plenty of skills to spare. Al febrer 15, I’m not playing with this guy.

All of these guys think they’re going to walk me down and throw more punches than me. But I throw more and land more punches than them. If he thinks he’s going to come in here and spoil my plans, I promise you that he’s got another thing coming.

BRYANT PERRELLA

I’m grateful to be here today and blessed to have the opportunity to showcase who I am as a fighter. I’m a fighter who’s built on quality over quantity. Nothing has been given to me. I’ve faced nothing but excellent opposition to this point.

I eat, sleep and breathe boxing. I’m ready for this. I’m a fast, strong and tall fighter, with a high boxing IQ. Febrer 15 I’m coming to dominate. Operation Abel will be unable.

I have Ramos outmatched at every category and I’m going to dominate. I’m starting hit my stride as a fighter. Everything is coming together mentally and I have an amazing team working with me now. We’re just grinding every day and putting it all together to work towards our ultimate goal.

AUSTIN DULAY

I’m really thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen and especially to Caleb for paving the way for a fight in Nashville. We’ve been training really hard and we’re training even harder for this fight to put on a show in my hometown.

I know my opponent is going to come ready, we know what he’s coming to do. Estic emocionat per això. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings.

“No puc esperar per aquesta baralla, put on a great performance and come back to Nashville again in the future for more big fights.

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Co-Trainer

We are thrilled to come back to Nashville for this fight. It’s going to be Caleb’s first pro fight in Nashville, and from the moment that we heard first about this, we’ve been really excited.

He’s had an incredible training camp as always. He’s been looking really sharp. Expect an explosive, powerful and better version of ‘Sweethandsthan you’ve seen yet. Caleb is always improving and always getting better. He’s taking it to another level.

I’ve seen Caleb fight as an amateur in Nashville, but to be a part of him doing it in the pros, it’s so special for me. Just know that he’s going to put on a show. Skills pay the bills and he’s got all the skills.

RICHIE PLANT, Plant’s Father & Co-Trainer

We’re so glad to be here in this position. As soon as we heard that this was going to be a reality, we were just overjoyed.

We started here about 18 years ago in boxing. Over the years we’ve grown, and now we have this amazing boxing team, one that I feel is the best in boxing. We’re just getting started. We’re excited to put on a show for our hometown and we’ll see everyone here on February 15.

FRANCISCO ‘CHIASANTANA TO MAKE PBC DEBUT


WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER ADDED TO THE TELEVISED UNDERCARD OF PORTER VS. UGASLIVE ON FOXMARCH 9TH



Ventura, Califòrnia: Febrer 18, 2019


Francisco ‘Chia’ Santana (25-6-1, 12 KOs) farà la seva PBC debut on the televised undercard of the WBC Welterweight World Championship Fight entre Shawn Porter i Yordenis Ugas viure Guineu a March 9th at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Califòrnia.


Santana will face Arizona’s Abel Ramos (23-3-2, 18 KOs) in what promises to be an action packed battle between two aggressive fighters both coming off victories, with the winner in line to face an opponent from PBC’s deep welterweight stable later this year.


Santana, who is coming off one of the biggest upsets of 2018 when he defeated Medallista d'or olímpic and world title challenger, Félix Díaz, is currently ranked #14 al CMB.


It’s crazy how much can change in a year.explains, Santana.


Last year at this time I was coming off back to back controversial losses that I felt I had won. My promoter had dropped me. I couldn’t find a fight. I had been out of the ring for a year. It looked like my career was over. I actually landed the Diaz fight because a friend entered me in an online contest to be an alternate fighter for a WBC tournament. The fans voted me in and when a fighter was injured, I was bumped up into the main tournament. I knew no one was giving me a chance to beat Diaz who was the favorite to win the whole tournament but when I’m overlooked that’s when I’m the most dangerous. The win landed me in the WBC’s Top 15 rankings allowing me to now be able to fight for their world title. I believe I am only one or two fights away from that opportunity and no one is going to stand in my way.


Having worked with several promoters throughout his 14 carrera professional l'any, Santana is happy to be featured on a major Lliga de Campions de Boxa esdeveniment.


The amount of world class welterweights that PBC has is unreal, Incloent 4 dels 5 current world champions. It’s literally a who’s who of the division. I’m beyond excited to be able to make my PBC debut on Fox in primetime on the undercard of the WBC welterweight title fight. I have nothing but respect for a fellow hard working fighter like Ramos and I expect a war but I intend to make a statement on March 9th and come out victorious.


Santana, a Santa Barbara native who lives and trains in Ventura, California atKnuckleHeadz Boxing Gym with trainer, Joseph “HossJanik, is a favorite amongst hardcore boxing fans for his relentless in ring style and his fight anyone, on sigui, anytime attitude that has seen him give multiple future world champions all they could handle. Addicionalment, he’s widely considered one of the friendliest fighters in the entire sport.


I follow the golden rule. Treat others how you want to be treated. I’m a boxer but I’m a also massive boxing fan. Nothing is better than going to the fights and talking boxing with other fans. I’m no different than them. I wake up and run. I go to work all day with an hour commute back and forth. I hit the gym at night. I spend what little time I have left with my family. Then I go to sleep exhausted. I haven’t caught many breaks in this sport but I still haven’t given up on my dream of being a world champion. In life or in boxing, my motto is train, lluita, victòria. I think that’s something everyone can relate to.
