Israel Vasquez is by no means the most famous world champion in boxing today.
But he is certainly among the most under-rated and may just be the most exciting.
The 29-year-old from Mexico City is rarely in a dull fight and he proved this spectacularly in his last fight against Jhonny Gonzalez.
During an epic encounter a bloodied Vasquez survived two trips to the canvas before taking over an stopping his brave rival in the 10th.
Plenty would have forgiven him an easy defence after such a titanic tussle but Vasquez is a fighter in the truest sense of the word and his next fight will be against big Mexican rival Rafael Marquez.
Derek Bilton caught up with the man they call 'Magnifico' and got his thoughts about Marquez and that incredible win over last September.

Im glad he ain't taking him lightly cause i know Marquez aint' taking him lightly either. I bet both may hit the floor in a back and forth fight, but i don't see this fight going the distance.
