I put in a hard eight-week camp," Said De Alba. De Alba and Najera were originally supposed to get together earlier this year, but Najera had to pull out. "I am excited to be able to finally get in the ring with him. We were supposed to fight in June. He pulled out at the last minute and that made me angry, because I trained hard for a full camp, but now I finally get my opportunity to fight him." A win over Najera and a 6th straight win will De Alba should facilitate big opportunities for De Alba in 2018. "A win over him will have me on top and on my way.
