Total focus. The undefeated Puerto Rican contender Christopher "Pitufo" Diaz has only one goal in mind: to become world champion.

During a press conference held on Thursday afternoon at 'Isla del Encanto', Díaz said that on July 28 he will leave the Kissimmee Civic Center as a world champion. Former world champion Jose Pedraza was also present at the press conference.

Diaz wants to add his name to the storied list of Puerto Rican world champions, when he squares off against Masayuki Ito for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior lightweight title.
