HOBOKEN, N.J. – Light heavyweight contender Chris “Hard Hittin’” Henry has patiently waited an extra month to get a shot at former 2-time WBA light heavyweight champion Hugo Hernan “Pigu” Garay in their March 27th WBA Light Heavyweight eliminator.
They were originally supposed to square-off February 27 but that show was cancelled, moving Garay-Henry back four weeks to March 27 as the 12-round co-feature on “The Champion Returns” pay-per-view event, featuring the return of 3-division world champion Erik “El Terrible” Morales, live from Monterrey, Mexico.
“It (postponement) really helped me,” Henry said from his Texas training camp. “I feel it’s a blessing that it was postponed. I took one week off to let my body relax and then we got right back to grinding hard. It’s almost three months training for this fight. I’m more prepared now. I feel for Garay….after the fight I’ll feel for him. Everything will work out for a reason and a win will get me a world title shot so I can show that I’m one of the best light heavyweights in the world. I’ve been fighting top 10 guys for a while.”
