Chocolatito González, who will fight for the seventh time in Mexican territory, expressed his appreciation for the treatment he has received in this nation, and said that he has not sought to earn the nickname of “murderer of Mexicans.”

“I have had to face many Mexicans because in the minor divisions because the Mexicans and the Japanese, are the best in the world, and we have had very great battles.

“I expect next Friday to be very competitive, but I am very well prepared to offer a great fight and retain the belt ”, said Chocolatito, who thanked promotion companies Zanfer and Matchroom Boxing for making this Friday’s show featuring 3 world championships in Mexico.

About his rival, “Jiga” González, Chocolatito said that he has seen him fight and that he is a tough fighter who is motivated to go for a world championship in his country, and that he will leave everything in the ring to achieve the feat.

For his part, “El Rey” Martínez said that his concentration at the Otomí Ceremonial Center allowed him to have a full preparation. He shared that he is already very close to weight two days before getting on the scale.

“It is a great motivation to be in such a great show. I fully prepare myself at the Otomí Ceremonial Center and I thank all the people there who have given me their support and affection.

“I am going to a very tough fight against a rival with a lot of experience I expect a very tough fight,” El Rey Martínez said.

The operational director of Zanfer, Guillermo Brito, declared that thanks to the partnership with 🇬🇧 Matchroom Boxing this great card could be carried out, although the work of logistics, health protocols, and organization have been more demanding compared to all previous shows.

“Of course it has required more work and effort, but that’s the way it is now and we have to move forward.

“It is one of the best cards that have been presented in Mexico in recent years: three world championships the same night, with boxers who are among the best in the world.

“I will be without an audience in this situation of extreme precautionary measures and prevention.

“It is a big show that could have been made anywhere else in the world, but the people of Matchroom Boxing trusted us so it will be done in Mexico and we are very pleased by it.

“This is due to our experience and the great results that we have shown in this new normal. That’s why the people of Matchroom Boxing trusted us and we are really very pleased by it,” he said.

Furthermore, The president of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Mauricio Sulaimán pointed out that every detail of the organization and the prevention and health protocol has been taken care of, and that the great show of Zanfer and Matchroom Boxing next Friday will make history, not only because of the dispute of 3 world championships but because of the quality of fights it will offer.
