The Box Azteca team officially presented the second defense of WBC super featherweight champion, Miguel Berchelt who returns home to Cancun, Quintana Roo, but who’s he going to fight? Accompanied by his promoter, Mario Abraham, Miguel Berchelt talked about the battle that he was supposed to have on February 10th at the Oasis Arena in Cancun with Cristian Mijares.
