“Beating Parker will get me a step closer to my goal to be the first Mexican-American to become world heavyweight champion,” Flores said. “I can’t picture myself losing, not the way I feel. I’ve had a long, hard training camp for this fight. It’s really been a couple years, because some fights fell through.”

On a mission to become the first Mexican-American heavyweight champion of the world, Flores has already had a significant first leading up to this fight versus Parker. He experienced his initial flight a few months ago to do media work in New Zealand to promote the Dec. 15 جنگ.

"جی ہاں,” Flores explained, “that was my first flight. اس نے لئے 13 گھنٹے, but I slept five or six hours, so it wasn’t too bad, other than being a little cold there. New Zealand is a beautiful country. The only thing I really need to acclimate to is the 20-hour time difference.

“I’m not concerned about fighting Parker there. I know I’m the underdog, but I had to take advantage of this opportunity. We were supposed to fight November 24ویں, so I had already waited a long time for a fight like this. At the end of the day it’s just going to be me and him in the ring. I’m going there to win, I see myself knocking him out.”

پارکر (24-2, 18 کوس) is coming off back-to-back losses in the United Kingdom, both by way of 12-round unanimous decisions, بالترتیب, کرنے کے لئےDillian Whyte and unified world heavyweight championAnthony JoshuaParker captured the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO heavyweight world title two years ago, when he took a 12-round majority decision overAndy Ruiz, جونیئر., followed by unanimous and majority 12-round decisions, بالترتیب, کے خلافRazvan Cojanu اورHughie FuryRuiz and Fury were undefeated going into their fights with Parker, both ending in majority decisions and shrouded in scoring controversy.

The powerful Flores, fighting out of Rowland Heights, کیلی فورنیا, realizes Parker has never been knocked out as a pro, plus the New Zealander is fighting at home for the first time in 1 ½ سال, but he is not deterred from predicting a shocking conclusion.
