Italian champion Giuseppe Loriga says he's "hungry like a shark" to face unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Top Rank's 'Latin Fury' PPV this Saturday, April 26, in Queretaro, Mexico.

Loriga, at a press gathering outdoors in Los Angeles on Sunday, wore a ballcap with a picture of a giant opened-jaw shark.

"I've beaten undefeated fighters before," said Loriga. "I'm 31, I've been in pressure fights so going to Mexico and fighting a hometown hero like Chavez Jr. is no big deal."

Loriga, noting "I'm not big on watching video," said he did watch the Chavez Jr vs Jose Celaya fight.

"Chavez Jr. is an unproven commodity. Let's leave it at that," Loriga said.

Loriga has a record of 24-0-1. He has wins over two unbeaten fighters, Luca Pasqua (11-0) in his last fight in February, 2008 and Sven Paris (18-0) in February, 2006.

"This is going to be challenging for me," Chavez Jr., said from Mexico City, where he has been training for weeks.
