Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is looking to turn up the heat on Top Rank’s Latin Fury championship card on Saturday, April 26. Today in a press conference in Mexico City, Chavez Jr. said: “I have being working very hard to give fans a better performance then I gave them last February in Leon, Guanajuato, where I felt that I could have done better”

“The fans who come to see me fight deserved better and on April 26 in Queretaro they will see a better and more spectacular fight,” Chavez Jr said. “Giuseppe Loriga is undefeated and he is coming a long way to fight me. I’m sure he will be ready for me, as I will be ready for him.

For this fight Chavez Jr has been working out in Mexico City with chief trainer Romulo Quirarte Sr.

“It’s been a very rough camp,” said Chavez Jr.

The press conference was well attended by the Mexican media. Three time world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Sr was also there.

“My son was not at his best last time out, but he is young and he is learning. I wanted Quirarte Sr, to come back for this fight because my son
needs to get better and training here in Mexico,” said the legendary champion about his oldest son.

The fight will be held at the Plaza de Toros Juriquilla in Queretaro, Mexico with capacity for over 5,000 fans and the near the site where
the great late Salvador Sanchez trained for all his major fights.

Thanks everyone, Ricardo, Top Rank
