Raul Curiel is one of Mexican prospects that the country has high hopes for and will be fighting in the much anticipated Ryan Garcia's fight against Luke Campbell on January 2, 2021.
Philboxing.com had the chance to speak to Raul.
"I never stopped training, even when I was at home, we were still under the instruction of Freddie Roach, and since I stepped foot on American soil, I joined the training camp to follow up on the program that my coach implemented and thus be ready for my ninth fight. The truth is that I carry my suitcase full of aspirations and eager to succeed," said Curiel.
"I admire Freddie Roach, I've seen him in videos since I was a young boy and I watched Pacquiao train and I saw Roach with admiration. Now it's like a dream come true to be under his tutelage. It's been a great ride to be trained by a legendary trainer, he believes I will be world champion very soon."
"
I've been fortunate enough to be surrounded by great people, starting by my family, my mentor and manager Frank Espinoza who gives me great advice and handles my career, he is a great manager and takes care of things, and obviously Oscar De La Hoya and Eric Gomez and the Golden Boy Promotions team they all have my back and I just concentrate on training and fighting, it's a great team I have". Mentioned Raúl.
"It's a honor to be fighting under the Ryan Garcia vs Luke Campbell event, Ryan is a great fighter with a great personality and I will be there to represent México and give the fans a good fight. This event will be shown in Mexico and I'm very happy to be there to show my skills."
"My opponent is a very good fighter, a tough cookie. We know each other very well, we have sparred several times so I know him and he knows me. That will be dangerous but I will do whatever it takes to win and after this fight we can think of bigger and better fights."
