BT: BoxingTalk.com here with world champion, Christian Mijares, who's fresh off a victory over Jorge Arce. Christian, how has your life changed since that victory? "My life has changed tremendously since my victory over Arce, in Mexico. I beat an idol. Now, in Mexico, I'm starting to become a household name."
BT: You said that Arce was an idol, what now? Have you reached your peak, or is there something else now that you're going for?CM: Although it is a great victory, beating Jorge Arce, now I have to top myself. I want to be known as Christian Mijares, the fighter, not the guy who beat Jorge Arce.
BT: Were you surprised by how easily you defeated Arce?CM: Actually, I expected a tougher fight. It just happened to go that way.
BT: I imagine you've enjoyed your victory. So, what's next for you?CM: I'm going to be fighting July 13th, in Mexico. It's a title fight.
BT: You mentioned being a household name in Mexico. Do you think it will be hard for you to make a name for yourself out here? CM: I'm a household name in Mexico, I hope to become one here as well, despite my weight class.
BT:Â Are there any names that you're looking to fight?CM:Â Victor Darchynion and Martin Castillo.
BT: Darchynion has been calling out Arce, I haven't heard him calling you out. Do you think he's afraid of your style?CM: He probably sees Arce's style as easier to take. It's a different fight with me.
BT:Â Any closing thoughts for the BoxingTalk fans?CM:Â Thank you, and I appreciate all the support I've gotten from my fans.
