“The doctor said, “Yoel, you need more time.” You know me. If you give me someone, I accept it. But you have to be smart. When the doctor says “you are ready”, you can go. I am waiting. My eye is not ready. I want to fight, but it is what it is. I want to fight on this card. Any time you have an opportunity to fight at Madison Square Garden, in New York, you are making history, but I need to wait”, said Romero in an interview with “ESPN”.
