With the desire of celebrating in front of his people, Adrian Curiel declared himself ready for the fight, to defend his light flyweight belt against the South African Sivenarhi Nonshinga in the main event of the “Guelaguetza Champions”.
“This Friday I debut as champion, but I have prepared to fight as if I was the challenger; I am very happy and focused.
It was not a lucky punch, he has said that I don’t hit hard, but I want the 16th to say and sustain it, because in Mexico we hit and we sustain it,” said “Gatito” Curiel.
For his part, Nonshinga said: “I am happy to be here. This is an opportunity that I have in my hands. We have worked a lot, it is a great opportunity and I am going to seize it with both hands.
“I have been working hard, it’s not my first world title fight, I know what I have to do, I learned from the defeat. In life you can fall, and getting up…is living.”
This Thursday the weigh-in will take place at 5:00pm at Santo Domingo Plaza
