AVILA FACES JOSEPH DIAZ, JR. ON THE CANELO VS. CHAVEZ, JR. UNDERCARD MAY 6 AT T-MOBILE ARENA IN LAS VEGAS PRESENTED LIVE BY HBO PAY-PER-VIEW?

APRIL 26, 2017 - Unbeaten defeated prospect Manuel "Tino" Avila (22-0, 8 KOs) is making the leap from prospect to contender as he fights 2012 U.S. Olympian and NABF Featherweight Champion Joseph Diaz, Jr. (23-0, 13 KOs) on the Canelo vs. Chavez, Jr. televised undercard on Saturday, May 6 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View? beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.

Avila held a media day on Saturday, April 15 in Northern California, and here is what he had to say then about his May 6 fight:

"I always see a fight as a fight. I have fought at a casino, where the fight was not shown on TV or the undercard like Chad Dawson vs. Bernard Hopkins, the first one. No matter how big it is or how small it is, in the ring it is always the same!

"We're doing a lot of conditioning and strength work. We are taking a lot away from our last fight, knowing that JoJo Diaz saw that fight live and was commentating [on Avila's last fight]. [JoJo] is also a left hander, so a lot of changes are going on.

"My team and I have been working extremely hard. I've got all the right people in my corner helping me get to the top. I'm sparring with some really good fighters. I've taken my conditioning to new levels. I'm amped up for this fight."

"JoJo Diaz, Jr. - you better be ready for me on May 6!"
