Julio Cesar Chavez Jr expressed his confidence at a press conference in L.A. on Monday, This is a very important fight for me, because it’s the beginning of what I’m sure will be one of the most important years of my career. I not only hope to win the fight, but to do so convincingly.
About the March 28 Tijuana event headlining Chavez against Luciano Cuello, Bob Arum of Top Rank stated This is a very loaded card and we’re sure it will be a great night of boxing in Tijuana. It’s not always possible to have so much talent in one event and that’s why I think this is the most attractive card we’ve had in our ‘Latin Fury’ series.
Also present to promote Latin Fury 8 were WBC Super Featherweight champ Humberto Soto, Fernando Montiel, Fernando Beltran of Zanfer Promotions, and Tijuana mayor Jorge Ramos. More details from the press conference available at Fightnews.
