Some big news coming in from Marcos Maidana’s camp. The fighter confirmed today that he will indeed be fighting Mexican legend Erik Morales on April 9th at the MGM Grand hotel. “I’m very excited to fight again in Las Vegas and I’m excited to face a warrior like Erik Morales. No matter what some people might say about him not fighting much lately, he’s a legend and you have to respect a legend. Especially if he’s Mexican. Yet, I won’t respect him is when we meet on the ring, of course,” Maidana said.
“Erik likes going to war. I like going to war, too. So, guess what? We have a war here. Don’t expect us to have a verbal war before the bout but a brutal boxing war in the ring on April 9th. I’m excited to have this new opportunity that Golden Boy Promotions gives me along with Universum Box Promotions and HBO. I won’t disappoint anyone.”
Maidana also confirmed that after a one-and-a-half-year working relationship he has let go of his head trainer Miguel Diaz. “I’ve thought I needed a change, but I’m grateful to Miguel. We had a good time together,” Maidana said.
“Marcos will start a new era in his career. He has an enormous potential and is ready to take his career to the next level. He learned many things from Miguel and I’m sure he will keep learning” Maidana’s advisor Sebastian Contursi said..
