Solano, (14-0, 10 کوس), is not concerned about the last minute opponent change. “It doesn’t matter who I fight. I trust my team and my skills,"انہوں نے کہا. “I don’t worry about who is across from me. I would have beaten the first guy and I will beat this guy too. I don’t train to beat one fighter specifically. I train to beat all fighters and I make adjustments in the ring. Some fighters get upset when the opponent changes. Not me. Even if my team says they want me to fight a different guy at the weigh-in, my job stays the same.”
Solano is a hard punching 26-year-old from Monteria, Colombia who started boxing at the age of seven; he amassed an amateur record of 118-12. He’s a former WBA Fedebol Lightweight Champion and in 2012 placed third in the Colombia National Games. ان کی آخری جنگ میں, he scored a five-round stoppage over Jesus Manuel Sandoval in October 2018.

“میں نے اس جنگ کے لئے حوصلہ افزائی ہوں,” said Araujo, who is making his United States debut. “My style is aggressive. I have fought four southpaws. I know how to fight them – I like fighting them.
“I checked out videos of Solano. I think he is going to come to fight. He’s training out of Compton, کیلی فورنیا, so he’s going to come more than ready, اس کے ساتھ ساتھ. These are the ingredients for a good show.”
Araujo (19-1, 7 کوس) replaces fellow compatriot Jose Romero, who was forced to withdraw from the bout due to an injury.
