WBO Ivan Calderon (30-0, 6KOs) and challenger Nelson Dieppa (25-4-2, 14KOs) are ready to go to war on April 5 in the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"This is a war and I am ready to win this war", Dieppa, who wore camouflage clothing o the press conference, told El Nuevo Dia. "I know that many are going to go to come and support Calderon and that does not bother me. If only two or three people come to support me, I won't let them down. The people who think I can't beat Calderon will be in for a surprise. I will put pressure on him for the whole fight."
Calderon answered back at his bold opponent.
"If he believes he's Rambo, he is, but I always I come to fight and show exactly what I am, a champion," Calderon said. "He says that all I do is run and calls me "Running Boy," but that doesn't bother me because it shows that I am a great athlete and have the legs to move well around the ring. But if he believes that I don't connect with good punches, I am going to stop every now and then to fight so I can show him that the "Running Boy" can also become the "Iron Boy."
