Here is what Beltran had to say about is recent training camp, his matchup with Louie Lopez, fighting a top prospect, and more.
On his recent training camp:
“I am training very hard. This is the chance of a lifetime to get a big fight with a big promoter. I am not letting this opportunity go to waste, I have done everything within my power to be the best come fight night. I am running hard, training hard, and pushing beyond my limits for this fight. It is safe to say this is the best I have ever felt before a fight. Training camp was great.”
On his matchup with Louie Lopez:
“I see him as myself with a different name. What I mean by that is, he also took a loss early in his career but kept going, not a lot of fighters can do that. I know he is a warrior because it takes a warrior spirit to continue in this sport, especially in this era. I respect him and see him as exactly who I am. So, I am fight a man who is hungry to keep his winning streak alive, and I know this fight will come down to how wants it more. I plan on having my hands raised when the final bell rings.
On what a win will do for his career:
“This is the new start of my career. I lost early on, but that wasn’t the best version of myself. A lot went wrong. I am going to defeat a very good fighter and be on the radar of fight fans who follow the sport. A win here gives me more chances to fight against opponents in which I can obtain a world ranking. So essentially this fight means everything to me.”
On fighting in main event on a Thompson Card:
“I am honored to be in the main event on this card, as the card pays tribute to Mr. Ken Thompson. To able to win on a card dedicated to the founder of the boxing promotion, will be a historic moment for me. This is a big stage for me, and I like the professional nature in which they stream their shows and broadcast their fights so fans from all across the world can see these fights.”
