BERCHELT PREPARING FOR MIURA ONSLAUGHT

World Boxing Council super featherweight champion Miguel Alacian Berchelt knows that former champion and current challenger, Japan’s Takashi Miura will be a test of fire demanding  ingenuity.
The Mexican will make the first defense of his crown on July 15 at the Forum of Inglewood, California, against the battle hardened  number one in the WBC rankings..

“There are several champions in the division… Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis, Jezreel Corrales, but I have to respect my opponent.  First  I have to beat Miura and after that they come by themselves. We are free to listen offers.”

Takashi lost the title to  Francisco Vargas on November 21, 2015 and Berchelt dethroned the then-champion on January 28. Although he`s considered the  favourite for this one, he knows that anything could, can and tends to happen in the ring.

“We are in the strong stage of my preparation, almost a month from the fight. We are checking  and ticking the  and factors  to be very physically strong,” said Berchelt.
