A few words with ex-champ Jeison Rosario

On Saturday, February 1st, as part of a PBC pay-per-view event on Prime Video live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, former two-belt junior middleweight champion Jeison Rosario (24-4-2) of the Dominican Republic takes on rising Jesus “Mono” Ramos Jr. (21-1) of Mexico in the opener of a four-fight broadcast. The main event that night will see  David “El Monstro” Benavidez defend his WBC interim light heavyweight belt against  David Morrell Jr. Rosario won the IBF and WBA 154-pound titles in 2020 with an upset of Julian Williams. Here is what Rosario had to say at a recent press event:

“Training camp is going great here in Las Vegas with [my trainer] Bob Santos. I have big plans for February 1st. I’m gonna shock the world and bring home the victory. My last fight [a draw vs. former champion Jarett Hurd] really tested me. It gave me what I needed going into this fight with Ramos. I’m ready to seize this moment and make the most of it. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and most of all, I can’t wait to show the fans what I’ve been working on. My plan is to make it a great night. I can’t wait for the bell to ring.”
