Diego Pacheco has targeted a fight with Edgar Berlanga after winning his fight last night.
Pacheco fought Marcelo Coceres in Los Angeles on Saturday evening, live on DAZN.
He moved onto 20-0 with 17 knockouts, and his third in a row, as he followed up his April win over Jack Cullen and July victory over Manuel Gallegos.
The 22-year-old sent Coceres to the canvas in the ninth round with an uppercut that left his opponent counted out.
After the fight, Pacheco made it clear who he wanted next.
"I want Edgar Berlanga next after this fight. I think I knock him out cold," Pacheco said.
“To be doing this at 22 is cool. I thought maybe I would headline in a world title fight when I was 24 or 25..... it’s the YouTube Theater, hopefully down the line it will be the SoFi Stadium. It’s a five-minute drive from my mom’s house.
“It’s been a great year for me. I unexpectedly became the main event in the UK in March, and I rose to the occasion and put on a great performance. The experience was great.
“I grew up in South Central LA. I always feel I owe this to my parents. They sacrificed a lot and believed in me before anyone else. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be where I am. I come from a low-income family so for my dad to get me to all the amateur tournaments meant a lot and made me think ‘how I am not going to give my all when they have sacrificed so much for me?’”
