I have added things that have made me better because I know it will be a tough fight, ” Jermell Charlo commented.
“I love my home state of Texas and I love fighting here. We are a state that has fought our own wars. This is huge. It’s a legacy fight for me and I’m ready for anything. I felt really good during my training camp. Better than I have ever felt. I’m at my best and I feel stronger fight by fight ”.
For his part, Brian Castaño commented:

“This is one of the most important fights in the history of Argentina. We will fight for the four belts, for the undisputed championship at 154 pounds. It is a great opportunity for my team, my manager, my family, and most importantly, for me. This will be the toughest fight of my career.
“Charlo is a great fighter, there is no doubt about it. But I came here to do my job and I’m totally ready to step up. I’m the type of fighter who always goes after you. I am always there to pressure you. I think Charlo is also in the best moment of his career. That is why we are going to get into the ring to find out who is the best super welterweight fighter in the entire world.”
