Juan "Churrito" Hernandez (18-1, 13KOs) is finishing up some final training exercises for this Wednesday's fight with WBC minimumweight champion Kazuto Ioka (7-0, 5KOs). Hernandez will be in a very hostile arena, the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, where Ioka is viewed as a big star because of the many newspaper clipping connected to his historical win over Oleydong Sithsamerchai to capture the title in February.
"I do not usually talk much, but what I want to say is that I plan give the fight of my life here in Tokyo, and rest assured that I will win the championship for Mexico, and do whatever it takes to make it happen," Hernandez said.
