Oscar Collazo says the chance to be the first Puerto Rican to fight in Saudi Arabia is a "blessing" at Riyadh Season Latino Night, live on DAZN for free this weekend.
The WBO minimumweight champion will put his title on the line in a unification battle with Thai star Thammanoon Niyomtrong, who brings his WBA crown to the table.
The pair feature on a stacked card headlined by a bout between Gilberto Ramirez and Chris Billam-Smith at The Venue in Riyadh, with plenty of other big names in action too.
Speaking at the press conference before Saturday's blockbuster event, Collazo spoke about his anticipation for the clash, adding that he has targeted the big nights so far.
"I'm very excited," he said. "I'm ready. I've trained for this. Since day one, I wanted huge fights, and to make [them] important. What's better than to get a unification fight?
"As the first Puerto Rican to fight over here in Saudi Arabia, it's a blessing and an honour, and I'm one-hundred percent feeling great, feeling motivated."
Collazo will have to get past a vastly more experienced fighter if he is to triumph, having only fought in ten professional bouts himself with a 10-0 record.
Niyomtrong conversely has fought twice as many times, with a glittering 25-0 record that speaks volumes about his performances inside the ring.
