A modern day Cinderella man story could unfold June 21st when undefeated Top Rank prospect Floyd Diaz takes on Mexico’s 29 year old 12-year fight veteran Javier "Rayito" Pedroza 18-11 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA June 21st.
Pedroza opened up about his fight preparation, what the fight means to him and a final message.
“Preparation has been the best of my life; discipline has always characterized me but this time applying the experience throughout my 12 years as a professional. I was lucky enough to start the year sparring with Jason Moloney for his first title defense against Saul Sanchez, then straight into camp with Jonathan Rodriguez for his WBA Title Eliminator then later with Luis Nery for his Undisputed World title fight in Japan with Inoue.
“This fight right now represents a better future for me and my family. I am aware of what Top Rank means in the world of boxing. It is a dream come true that they have given me this opportunity and even more so being in Las Vegas. I want the world to know who I am and I'm ready to show it on June 21”
“I would like to thank everyone involved in organizing this fight, my advisor Tony Tolj, Matchmaker Brad Goodman and top rank for the opportunity”.
Pedroza delivered a final message ahead of his clash.
“Boxing is of times and this is mine, I don't care who you are because I have already faced the best and you are going to know what a true Mexican warrior with hunger is.”
Tune in June 21st on ESPN plus for all the action for another night of Top Rank non stop action in the fight capital of the World, Las Vegas.
