"It's a fight for two titles, the WBO interim Latino and WBC FECARBOX. I'm ready for the challenge as it means a world title shot it going to come in the near future. For Carlos Valcarcel, I hope to stop him in eight rounds, "he said.

He hopes to return in October and fight someone ranked in the WBO's top ten, and then he wants to wait for the winner of the rematch between Jorge 'Travieso' Arce, the WBO super bantamweight champion, and Wilfredo 'Papito' Vazquez.
"Therefore there can not be any room for error with Valcárcel. My career is on the rise and I'll snatch the moment. I will not be derailed and I'll prove that I can be a world champion," he said.
