Marco Romero Excited for Upcoming Fight
In a recent interview with World Boxing News, emerging boxing talent Marco Romero, who has an undefeated record of 8-0, shared his excitement about being part of the upcoming Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon event this Friday. The 19-year-old previously clinched the National Golden Gloves title in the 165-pound category earlier this year and is making a quick comeback after his knockout victory against Nafys Garner on June 14 at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine.
Matchup Details
Romero, who will be entering the ring alongside the heavyweights on a card that showcases prominent boxing names, will face off against fellow prospect Andre Amaro, who holds a 2-0 record. This matchup will take place at the Charles Koch Arena on June 27, during a notable event organized by the Global Combat Collective.
Romero’s Preparation and Mindset
Opening up about his journey to this match, Romero revealed,
“When my manager, renowned trainer John Brown, informed me about the card in Wichita featuring Wilder, I immediately started preparing for it. This opportunity feels incredible!”
He noted the significance of sharing the spotlight with known figures in the sport, stating,
“It’s special to be on a card with a champion like Wilder, especially in my hometown.”
Reflections on Previous Fights
Reflecting on his previous fight, Romero expressed satisfaction with his performance, stating,
“I was thrilled to entertain the fans in Portland, which has come to feel like my second home.”
When asked about Amaro, Romero admitted he is still gathering information about his opponent but is particularly motivated by Amaro’s tendency to talk:
“His chatter only fuels my desire to put on a dominant show. I aim for another knockout, especially against someone who likes to talk.”
Future Aspirations
Romero’s professional journey has been promising, and he is keen on getting attention from major promoters by next year. He remarked,
“I want to elevate Kansas boxing’s profile and ensure everyone knows what they can expect when I step into the ring. It will never be a dull fight with me.”
Main Event Insights
On the evening’s main event, Deontay Wilder is looking to regain momentum after suffering setbacks in his last two fights against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. Romero believes this match could mark a comeback for Wilder, stating,
“It’s great to see him back, especially in Wichita. Maybe he’ll surprise everyone with a knockout and reclaim his place in championship boxing.”
Romero is predicting that Wilder will secure a victory with a knockout in the fourth round, consistent with Wilder’s history of early finishes in fights. With both fighters aiming for knockouts, Kansas fans are in for an exhilarating night of boxing.
