Esquiva Falcão knows that they will face a very resistant opponent. Salim Larbi has a record of 18 wins and 8 losses, but despite his numbers he is a difficult opponent to knock out.

'There will be 10 rounds and I will face a good boxer, who trains a lot and stands out for his endurance. It's up from here! There is no easy way to win the world title. I prepared well with my coach Robert Garcia, I’m in weight and I’m fast”, said the native from Espírito Santo.

Dividing his training between Vila Velha (ES) and Riverside (USA), Esquiva Falcão has 19 fights as a professional, with 19 wins, including 13 knockouts.

“Esquiva is very confident and prepared to make another great performance. He is surrounded by high-level professionals and his career was designed to reach this moment in a position to take the middleweight belt to Brazil”, explained the athlete's manager, Sérgio Batarelli.
