Camponovo Sports' Miguel "El Explosivo" Madueño (31-1, 28 KOs), is set to take on Golden Boy Promotions’ Oscar Duarte (28-2-1, 22 KOs) in a high-stakes showdown on just ten days’ notice. The twelve-round main event will be broadcast live on DAZN from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, this Saturday February 15th. Having just arrived in California, Madueño shares his thoughts on his training camp, the challenge of facing Duarte, stepping in on short notice, and more.

Arriving in California:

"I just arrived in California this past weekend, and from the moment I touched down, it’s been all about getting locked in. The adjustment has been quick, but as I mentioned before, I stay ready at all times. My team and I have been putting in the work, sharpening up the game plan, and making the most of every session. I feel strong and confident heading into fight night."


Matchup with Oscar Duarte:

"Duarte is a tough, aggressive fighter who comes forward with power, but I’m prepared for that style. I also like to come forward, making this a fight the fans will want to see. I respect what he brings to the table, but I know my own strengths and what I’m capable of.  This is going to be a battle of two Mexican warriors, and I’m ready to give the fans an exciting fight."

Taking the fight on ten days’ notice:

"This is the kind of opportunity I train for. Some fighters hesitate when they get a call like this, but I don’t. I stay in shape, I stay ready, and I believe in myself. Short notice or not, I’m stepping in with full confidence that I can get the job done."

What a win would means for his career:

"A victory over Oscar Duarte will be huge for my career. It gets me back in the conversation in the super lightweight division and gives me a shot at even bigger fights. This is my chance to prove myself, and I’m ready to make a statement on fight night."
