Argentinian challenger Diego
Diaz Gallardo, 20-5-1 (11), has
gone through a hard
training-camp, and insists that
he is fully ready and capable of
dethroning World Boxing
Federation (WBF) World
Middleweight Champion Michel
Mothmora on Friday March 31 in
Martinique, the French insular
region in the Caribbean Sea.
The fight will take
place at the Hall des Sports, a
venue connected to the Stade
Louis Achille in Fort-de-France,
home of the Good Luck football
club, but the prospect of
fighting in front of a large
partisan crowd is not bothering
the man from Santa Fe in the
slightest: |

“This
is what every boxer wants, to
become world champion. I was
Argentinian champion, and my
dream of becoming world champion
has kept me going and pushed me
to train extremely hard for this
fight”, says Gallardo. “It is an
opportunity that I cant, and
wont, let pass me by.”
Michel Mothmora, 29-24 (10), won
the WBF world title last May,
when he beat Brazilian John
Anderson Carvalho by unanimous
decision. Fighting in
Martinique, where he has his
roots, for the first time, this
will be the inaugural
title-defense for the
36-year-old Frenchman with the
massively deceiving record.
Gallardo has been put through
the paces by respected trainer
Hugo Luero, himself a former
Argentinian and South American
champion with over one-hundred
professional bouts, and the
teacher is full of praise for
his student, confident that he
can do the job at hand.

“Diego
has done very well so far in
training. This is a fantastic chance
for him, something that doesn’t come
along very often, and beating
Mothmora to become WBF world
champion will not only be a big
thing for him and me, but also for
the entire province where he lives.”
“We
know that Diego is going to face a
good champion, a tall guy with a lot
of experience, but we have a plan
how to beat him, and I believe Diego
has the tools to win. He has done
everything right in our
preparations, so now its just a
matter of executing in the ring.”
