Here is what Corona had to say about his recent training camp, his upcoming fight with fellow undefeated foe, Pedro Valencia, and more.

On his recent training camp:

“I have been pushed to the limit. This camp has been tireless, this is the moment I have been waiting for, to fight an undefeated fighter and prove to myself and everyone watching that I’m a world class fighter. It’s has been nothing short of exhausting. I am finishing each-and-every workout going hard, only to do it again, day after day. I have never had a camp like this, but I know on fight night I’ll be at my very best.”

On his matchup with Valencia:

“Valencia is a tough fighter who is undefeated for a reason. He had a close fight recently and I’ve seen some holes in his game. You can tell he has power, but I don’t think much of his ring intelligence. He just comes forward and looks to land something big, and that’s it. I am a crafty boxer with a lot of heart. I’m expecting this to be a war. If he underestimates me, he will be in a lot trouble.”

On what a win will do for his career:

“Winning fixes everything. If you win in boxing, even if it is a bad win, you get more chances. I am here to continue my families legacy of greatness in boxing, and I feel a draw in my last fight put some doubt in people’s minds about my potential. Winning this fight puts me in a different place in the sport of boxing.”

On fighting on a Thompson Boxing card in Sothern California:

“Thompson Boxing is an L.A. institution that has built a lot of great fighters, and to get a major fight on one of their cards that defines my career, is an honor. I’m an L.A. fighter through and through, and it’s only fitting that I have one of my biggest fights with them with all my fans in attendance.”

CORONA, CA (August 15, 2022) – Undefeated super featherweight, Pedro Valencia (10-0, 7 KOs), of Los Angeles, CA, will put his unblemished record on the line when he clashes with fellow unbeaten foe, Adrian Corona (9-0-1, 2 KOs), of Rialto, CA.  Valencia vs. Corona, an eight-round bout scheduled this Saturday, August 20, 2022, will set off a string of exciting prospects looking to become contenders. Valencia feels he has a tremendous amount of momentum going into this fight. 

Tickets priced at $50, $75, $100 & $125, will only be available for purchase at the door the day of the event, which will take place at the Omega Products International Event Center in Corona, CA. Doors open at 6:30 pm PT with the first fight starting at

8:00 pm PT.

Here is what Valencia had to say about is recent training camp, his matchup with Adrian Corona, fighting in Southern California, and more.

On his recent training camp:

“We’ve treated this camp like it’s the most important fight of my career because it is essentially just that for us. All the roadwork, sparring, and strength and conditioning has been elevated for this camp. I’ve been busy and I feel the momentum I have going into this fight is what separates me from my opponent. I am preparing to be in the best shape of my life, so I can go for every minute of every round.”

On his matchup with fellow Southern Californian, Adrian Corona:

“I know of him. I know he trains with Ben Lira, who is a great trainer. I have seen him fight in the Los Angeles area, and I know what he does. I am sure he knows what I do. The problem for Corona is you can’t teach power, and he doesn’t hit hard enough to keep me off him. This is the biggest fight to date for me, against another fighter from a neighboring city in Southern California. I know that the fans are going to go crazy for this one since we both have large fanbases that will be in attendance. I believe my power will be the difference in this fight and I see myself with my hands raised afterword.”

On what a win will do for his career:

“I have a fan-friendly style, and obviously I would like to earn a chance to headline a Thompson Boxing card soon. Making a statement against an unbeaten well-known fighter in the L.A. area would set me up at some point to headline a Thompson Boxing card, which is my goal in 2023. So, what I want to do is win this fight with no shadow of a doubt, and then use that momentum to headline my next fight.”

On fighting for Thompson Boxing:

“Fighting for Thompson Boxing has been great for my career. They have handled my career well and put me in positions to get into a big money fight.  I wouldn’t be where I am right now if they hadn’t invested in my career, and I am looking to thrill the fans every time I go out on fight night. I love being a pro boxer, and Thompson Boxing allows me to pursue my dream and passion of becoming a world champion.”
