Edward Vazquez previews upcoming title fight against Rafael Espinoza
Edward Vazquez is determined to dethrone Rafael Espinoza and capture the WBO featherweight title on May 4.
During a recent interview with Round Eight Boxing, the 29-year-old shared his thoughts on his upcoming world title fight and stated that he is focused on the job ahead of him.
"I'm still trying to take it in, you know? It's something that I've dreamed of since I was a kid. My first world title fight was overseas in Monaco. I was able to have my parents [and wife] there but I didn't really have anybody else. Now I'm able to have my entire family [and] all my fans there. It's on the undercard of the Japanese star Inoue so it's going to be massive."
'Kid' added:
"I'm just trying to take it all in and trying to stay focused, keep my tunnel vision going and not let all the big moments get to me. I've got a job ahead of me and I've got to focus on that. Then ill be able to enjoy the moment for a little bit, but now strictly business."
