This Saturday at Palenque de la Feria in Colima, Mexico, Giovanni "Ruso" Caro (22-9-4, 17KOs) will get the opportunity of a lifetime when he challenges Takalani Ndlovu (32-6, 18KOs) of South Africa for the IBF super bantamweight title. Ndlovu captured the title earlier this year with a twelve round decison over Canada's Steve Molitor. The two fighters met face to face at the final press conference at the Auditorio Luis Barrera Zedillo of Colima.

"I'm ready to die on the line. I know he's a great opponent, but I'm at home and before my people. This fight is kill or be killed," Caro said.
