It's in my blood. A week later I spoke to Dana and told him that I would be ready to fight at the end of August or beginning of September. So, they came with the proposal to do this fight in Canada and I accepted in two minutes. This is what I do. Before I was champion, I was used to fighting every four months”, said the former strawweight champion.
