After Wednesday’s big media event in Los Angeles, a massive presser for the June 4 clash between WBC middleweight champion Sebastian Zbik and #1 challenger Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. took place today in Mexico City.
Sebastian Zbik: “I’m excited to take on Julio Cesar, son of a great idol Julio Cesar Chavez. I’m going into the ring with all the confidence that I’ll win on a big stage like the Staples Center. I have a great fight plan and I’m not worried at all about Chavez’s Jr.’s record or his knockouts. I’ve never been knocked out so my goal is to get a lot of training and defend my title.”
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: “Since childhood I have dreamed of this, and for that and I’ve worked hard to prepare to defeat Zbik. It’s a tough fight, but nothing is free and I want to achieve my dream….my father gave many joys to Mexico, I want to continue giving such joy.”
