I am happy to be coming back to Philadelphia. I want to show people how far I have come and see the improvement that I have made as a fighter.

My mind is set on winning a world title at 140 fam. After the three losses, I cant afford any missteps. People see about the losses. I know I have the ability to be a world champion and on Mayu 29 that will start to show.
On the veteran opponent, Rodriguez, Upsher said, “I know he is tough and from Mexico. I will look at a little film before the fight and go from there. I really don’t worry about what he will do. He should worry about me. This fight is redemption for me. It’s a start and then I would like to right all of the losses.
