"Training in Texas with Coach Ronnie has been incredible as always,” said Tellez. “Every day we focus on the little details that matter, refine my technique, and make sure I’m in the best shape possible. Ronnie brings a wealth of knowledge, and I’ve grown a lot under his guidance. This has been one of my best camps yet, and I feel stronger, faster, and more prepared than ever."

In this pay-per-view showdown, Tellez will step up his competition to face the most accomplished opponent of his young career in Williams, a former unified 154-pound world champion and a stalwart atop the division. Despite the step up, Tellez remains as confident as ever that March 1 will be his night.

"Julian Williams is a former world champion with a lot of experience, and I respect what he’s done in the sport,” said Tellez. “But on March 1, I’m going to come with everything I’ve got. I have a style that is exciting, and I’m confident in my ability to execute our game plan. This is a huge opportunity for me, and I’m ready to show the world what I’m capable of."

"Fighting at Barclays Center in Brooklyn is a dream come true,” said Tellez. “New York has held some of the biggest fights in boxing history, and I’m excited to perform on such a big stage for the first time. I know the energy in the arena is going to be electric, and I’m looking forward to putting on a great show for all the fans."

“A win in this fight solidifies me as the top contender at 154-pounds,” said Tellez. “My goal is to win in spectacular fashion and be squarely in position to face Jermell Charlo, Terence Crawford and Sebastian Fundora."
