Erik Morales: I’ll assure you it is going to be an explosive night – Boxing News
Former WBC light welterweight titlist Erik Morales is ready to challenge the current WBC champion Danny Garcia this Saturday. Morales, who lost his title to Garcia earlier this year, claims he is every inch ready to get his title back.
“t is an honor to be in New York for the first time fighting to regain my title,” said Morales. “It is hard to be in an arena with such of great fighters, but I’m here, and trust me I’m ready. And certainly, each and every one of them is going to do the
best that they possibly can to steal the night. I have been training very hard for Saturday. I’ve done tremendous preparation. I’ll assure you it is going to be an explosive night. What you saw in March, it is definitely not what you are going to see on Saturday.
I assure you I will regain my title.”
It should be noted here that rumours of Morales failing a drug test have emerged recently. However, the Mexican ring legend has shrugged them off saying all his tests went fine. According to some independent publishers, Morales failed a random drug test
and he was found with illegal substance in his body.
The WBC immediately released a statement saying such rumours are not to be taken account. According to the WBC, the only two authorities for this fight are WBC and the NY Boxing Commission and only drug tests administered them should count. In other words,
the WBC has clearly mentioned that no third party drug tests would be taken into consideration.
For now, Morales assured his fans that he will get the title back home. According to several reports, Morales was not up to the mark in his last fight against Garcia, as he had come off a gallbladder surgery. On the other hand, even Garcia was criticised
heavily for his performance against Morales. According to most critics, the American unbeaten was not as good as he is against other fighters.
Therefore, both fighters are trying their level best to make this fight an interesting one for the fans.
