Los Mochis, Sinaloa - Hernan "Tyson" Marquez (29-2-0, 22 KOs) is enjoying strongest stage of his preparation in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, working for his showdown for the flyweight championship of the World Boxing Association (WBA), which is held by the Panamanian Luis "Nica" Concepcion (22-1-0, 17 KOs). The bout happens in Concepcion's backyard at the Coliseo Roberto Duran in Panama on Saturday, April 2.
"Tyson" Marquez works at a rapid pace at the gym of the "Cochules" under the watchful and expert eye of Don Manuel Montiel.
"I am with all of the right conditions to achieve high fitness. I'm going for my dream of being world champion and I'm going to face a great champion like Concepcion. I can not blow this opportunity," said Marquez, 22 years old.
Marquez's routine starts early, since he runs every day at Centennial Park and in the afternoons works in the ring and with the equipment inside of the gym of Montiel.
"Tyson Marquez is doing a lot of preparation, with a lot of motivation and dedication in training, and he will reach 100%. This fight will be tough, which is why we are developing a great plan for special training," said Eduardo Montiel, who is the chief trainer.
