Former world champion, Antonio Margarito will face Ramon Alvarez on August 13 at the Rosarito Convention Center in Rosarito, Mexico, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
“I felt a little rusty before the Paez fight after being out for so long, but now we are on pace,” Margarito said. “I like the fight against Ramon Alvarez, and the styles will provide an exciting fight for the fans. I’m happy. Ramon and me will be in the ring fighting, and nobody else will be able to help him or me.”
“I have always wanted the fight with Margarito, and now, thanks to Fernando Beltran, it will happen,” Alvarez said. “It is an opportunity for my career, and I have no doubt that I will win. I will go out there and give everything as I always do. [Margarito] is a warrior in the ring. He’s very strong and has power, but I have faith in my talent and my preparation. Defeating Margarito will lead me to the [junior middleweight] world title and help me in achieving my dream.”
Alvarez is the brother of Canelo Alvarez
