Diego Pacheco is confident he can end his fight with Jack Cullen early when the pair go head-to-head live on DAZN this coming Saturday.
Pacheco arrives in the UK with a 17-0 record (14 KOs) and will be hoping to put on a show in Liverpool as he continues to build his reputation as a credible force at 168lbs.
“Jack Cullen I feel is a good opponent, finally someone that the fans know I guess,” said Pacheco.
“If I beat him then it’s going to be like, ‘he beat this guy’, and I hope people are going to start believing in me a little bit more."
When it came to discussing the fight itself, Pacheco reiterated that it's an important step in his career and made a bold prediction as to how the contest will play out on Merseyside.
"After I get this win, I do feel that people will start recognising me more as a contender than a prospect," Pacheco stated.
"He’s tall and he has a lot of heart, but I’m a way better fighter than him. I see myself stopping him. He won’t be able to take my power. Once I see the opening, I’ll take it.
“I think this fight is really important for my career. It’s really important that I put on a good performance. I wanna knock him out, I wanna stop him. In whatever round it comes in, whether it’s a body shot or a head shot, I just wanna to stop him.”
