Miguel Berchelt Says Overcoming Valdez Will Springboard His Career

WBC super featherweight world champion, Miguel Berchelt, stresses that overcoming  Oscar Valdez: “Will be a great trampoline for my career!”

One of the special guests at the first “Coffee Tuesday” of 2021 Miguel said that in  defending his crown on February 20 against former Olympian Oscar Valdez,  he`s  preparing for a see saw war between Mexicans. It`ll be the bounce at the MGM Bubble in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For Miguel, this fight is crucial, as he wants to inspire new generations, as did   Barrera vs. Barrera, Morales, Zarate vs. Zamora; Marquez vs. Vázquez, just to name a few.

Aware that the challenge is not easy, Miguel was clear in saying that he is daily dedicating 5 to 6 hours to train, because he knows that this commitment requires extra effort.

He`s completely recovered from Covid-19, the virus but it did reduce his physical condition a little, so he and his trainer Alfredo Caballero have made adjustments in preparation to get a resounding victory in what will be the seventh defense of his crown.

Regarding Oscar, Miguel fully appreciates that he is a  very dangerous boxer, with a lot of experience in the amateur field and especially with a great team that knows how to guide him.

When both of them were amateurs, one of his keenest wishes was to fight him. He`ll soon get his wish, but in the pro sphere.

When questioned about the commitment that it represents to arrive as a favorite, Miguel was clear in saying that he is not over confident, because, like Oscar, he also came as a challenger against

Francisco Vargas… and ended his reign.

Without speculating too much, Miguel mused that both trainers, Oscar and his,  know that it will not be an easy fight, since they recognize the explosiveness in their boxing, so he himself classified the match as a very interesting chess game where his coach Alfredo Caballero will make his master plays, in response to the attack that Eddy’s Reynoso`s corner.

Thinking about the legacy he wants to leave in boxing, Miguel explained  that in the future he will seek to make history as a lightweight; however, for the moment, his energy is completely focused on Oscar Valdez.

He predicts this will be Fight of the Year and be a thriller for the fans.
