Daniel Santos prepares to travel to Montreal, Quebec, Canada to make his final preparations for his mandatory title shot at unbeaten WBA junior middleweight champion Joachim Alcine at the Uniprix Stadium on July 11.
Santos, a former two-division champion, has waited a long time for his shot and is now ready to bring the belt back home to Puerto Rico.
"The package is complete. I carry the desire, the hunger to win, the power and a good tactical plan," Santos told El Nuevo Dia. "I have an overdose of everything. This is the usual routine. We always head to a place a week before the event to become accustomed to everything."
Santos says he is not the least bit nervous about facing the champion in his own backyard with an entire country rooting him on.
"I am not nervous at all and my mindstate and spirit is very good. I carry three months of training for this fight and I am in great condition and ready for battle," Santos said. "The reality is that I am going to do what I've been training to do for the last few months, and to the extent that I am going into the fith with a plan and we will see if any adjustments have to be made. I trained well and concentrated on everything. I had no injuries in camp and aside from all that, I want to be champion again. I am very motivated and I'm at peace."
