Cuba's Yordenis Ugas (23-4, 11 KOs) wrapped up his final day of training camp and talked about his upcoming showdown with Omar Figueroa Jr. (28-0-1, 19 KOs), a twelve-round WBC welterweight eliminator that will be a part of this Saturday's pay-per-view telecast headlined by Keith "One Time" Thurman defending the WBA welterweight championship against boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. Here is what Ugas said about training camp, facing another undefeated fighter, and more.

 

On his upcoming fight with Omar Figueroa Jr.: "This is a big opportunity for me to derail another undefeated fighter. Omar Figueroa Jr. is a young hungry fighter who's never tasted defeat but that will all change on July 20th. He's never been in with an experienced fighter like me. I have the style to beat him and I'm going to let my hands fly on fight night!

 

On fighting in the biggest boxing event of the year: "I can't ask for a better situation at this stage of my career. To be fighting on Fox PPV, on the same card as one of the greatest fighters to ever step in the ring in Manny Pacquiao, is a dream come true. I'm truly blessed to be fighting on such a big stage and I'm going to give the fans a night to remember. The fans deserve a war and that's what I'm going to give them."

 

On what a win will do for his career: "Beating an undefeated fighter like Figueroa will get me right back into a world title fight. These are the type of fights I need to win if I'm going to become a world champion. I'm determined more than ever to prove to the world that I'm one of the best welterweights in the division."

 

On his recent training camp: "Training camp is finally all wrapped up. I did my last day of sparring this past weekend. My trainer Ismael Salas has a masterful game plan in place that we believe will be the perfect blueprint to beat Figueroa. I'm in tremendous shape, ready to let me hands go."
