The final press conference took place today for Saturday’s ESPN+ world title twinbill from the Auditorio GNP Seguros in Puebla, Mexico. In the main event, WBO junior featherweight champion Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete (29-1, 25 KOs) will defend against Francisco “Panchito” Horta (20-3-1, 10 KOs). In the co-feature, IBF junior bantamweight champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas will defend against Miguel Gonzalez.
Emanuel Navarrete: “I’m just a few days away from completing my first year as world champion. I have to defend this belt that has cost me so much sacrifice, and I will not let anyone take it away from me. I can assure you that I will knock Horta out. That’s what I always try to do every time I get in the ring. He is the challenger, and I’m the champion, but I’m on the hunt. I’m going after Horta!”
Francisco Horta: “I’m going to do my job, and I’m going to come out with my hand raised. On Sunday, everyone will know who I am.”
Jerwin Ancajas: “I am one of the longest-reigning champions in boxing, and I don’t plan to end my reign yet. I will remain a world champion for a long time.”
Miguel Gonzalez: “I am prepared to do what I have to do to bring the world title to Chile. If I have to box, I will box. If I have to fight, I will fight. That title goes with me.”
inoue will ko Jerwin Ancajas if they fight
One of the old school fighters Navarrete is fighting again. He is knocking on the P4P top 10 door and is showing the boxing fans what a real fighter is all about. This is what we need if this sport is ever going to gain any respect in the WWE/WBA/WBC circus.
