Rolando Romero is looking to make a successful defence of his world super-lightweight title this weekend when he faces Isaac Cruz.
The Las Vegas fighter has been linked to numerous big showdowns in recent months and he can take a step closer to one with victory over Cruz.
In 2022, Romero burst onto the scene when he faced Gervonta Davis in a huge encounter that eventually saw him stopped in the ninth session.
Cruz is expected to provide Romero with a stern test, but the champion is predicting an easy night.
“Everybody thinks this is gonna be a difficult fight, but I think this is gonna be an easy fight. He’s gonna run right into something, because he’s stupid,” said Romero at the final press conference.
“He’s gonna throw and throw and throw again. He does the same stuff over and over again. I’m ready for it.”
