"Training camp has been excellent. I did a little bit of training in Argentina before coming here. to Indio. Training with Joel Diaz and the entire team has been great. I know that Tewa Kiram is a hard puncher and can fight on the outside, but on Jan. 27 I'll become world champion. I've beaten the best at 140 pounds, and now I'll beat the best at 147 pounds. A win against Kiram will put me at the top of the division,"

ERIC GOMEZ, President of Golden Boy Promotions:

"This fight with Lucas Matthysse was mandated by the WBA. This is a dangerous fight. He's an undefeated puncher with a great style, and they're both big punchers. I know it's going to be a great fight, and I'm really looking forward to it."
