Jermall participated in an open training session, showing that he is in optimal condition to defend his green and gold title against the powerful Mexican contender, Juan Macias Montiel.

This is what the champion’s trainer, Ronnie Shields, commented:
“Jermall is always focused. That is something that does not concern me. He knows that every fight is important, and he doesn’t underestimate anyone. Jermall wants to make history.

“My expectation is that Jermall will go out to give everything and do what we have been training in accordance with our strategy. If we follow it, we will make history again”.
