The world's eyes are now focused on boxing, and that will have a great beneficial effect - not only for this fight, but also as a barometer for what's happening in our sport.”

In an interview with Notimex, Mauricio assured that the WBC is ready and willing to do whatever possible to facilitate and insure that the May 2nd historic event is a brilliant and outstanding triumph.
