TRAINING CAMP NOTES: Justin Cardona Shares Insights Ahead of December 19 Showdown Against Avious Griffin

PhilBoxing.com




MIAMI, FL (December 15, 2025) – Rising welterweight prospect, Justin “The Stallion” Cardona (10-1, 5 KOs) has wrapped up training camp as he readies himself for the biggest opportunity of his professional career. Cardona will face dangerous knockout artist Avious Griffin (17-1, 16 KOs) in an 8-round welterweight bout on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. The bout will take place on the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua card, promoted by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and broadcast live globally on Netflix, placing Cardona on one of the largest stages in modern boxing.

Cardona emphasized that consistency and preparation have been the foundation of his growth, noting that the camp has sharpened his conditioning, timing, and confidence heading into fight night. Reflecting on the work he’s put in behind closed doors, Cardona expressed gratitude for the process and the people around him. “This camp has probably been the most focused and disciplined of my career,” said Cardona on his recent training camp. “Every day, my team pushed me to get better — not just physically, but mentally. We didn’t cut corners. We studied, we worked, and we stayed humble. I’m thankful to have a team that believes in me and holds me accountable, because that’s what prepares you for moments like this.”

Acknowledging the challenge Griffin presents while remaining confident in his own preparation, Cardona spoke respectfully of his opponent. Rather than overlooking the danger, Cardona made it clear that respect and readiness are central to his mindset heading into the bout. “Avious Griffin is a strong, explosive fighter with a lot of knockouts, and I respect what he’s done in the ring,” Cardona said regarding Avious Griffin and his power. “Anyone with that record deserves respect. At the same time, I trust my preparation and my skills. I’ve trained for every scenario, and I’m ready to go in there and compete at the highest level.”

Focused on performance rather than outcomes, trusting that results will follow, Cardona added that he remains grounded. For Cardona, this fight represents more than just another victory, it’s a defining opportunity. “A win on this stage would mean everything,” Cardona explained on what a win would mean for his career. “I’ve worked my whole life for opportunities like this. It would show that the sacrifices, the setbacks, and the long nights were worth it. But more than anything, it would open the door to bigger opportunities and allow me to keep building toward my goals the right way.”

Appearing on a globally streamed Netflix card is a milestone Cardona does not take lightly. Cardona concluded by emphasizing that he plans to make the most of the moment — not with words, but with performance. “I’m extremely grateful to MVP for believing in me and giving me this platform,” said Cardona on fighting on MVP’s global Netflix event. “Fighting on a global event like this, on Netflix, is something most fighters only dream about. I don’t take it for granted. I’m proud to represent myself, my family, and my team on a stage that reaches fans all over the world.”

With momentum building and the boxing world watching, Justin Cardona vs. Avious Griffin promises to be a compelling welterweight clash on one of the year’s most talked-about cards. Fight fans can catch all the action live on Netflix on December 19, 2025, from the Kaseya Center in Miami.
