WBC middleweight champion Miguel Angel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) officially launched his training camp at the bustling Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles in the build up to his title defense on June 6th in New York, which will be transmitted by HBO
It is expected that Team Cotto will confirm his rival this week. The Argentinian, Sebastian Heiland and Daniel Geale are the favorites.
"Miguel started his preparation as usual with sessions in the morning and one at noon. He's adapting really well as he came to training camp already in great shape,” explained Miguel's legal advisor Gabirel Peñagaricano to El Vocero.
The daily morning workout is directed and supervised by physical trainer, Gavin McMillan, who also helps rugged Ruslan Provodnikov.
As for the official announcement, Preñagaricano commented:
“We are in a good stage of the negotiations. Soon we will have something more solid. The fight will be on June 6th on HBO,” he added.
Cotto has permission to make a voluntary defense of the title he captured from Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez in June 2014.
