Hermosillo is pumped for the fight and recently shared insights into his prep, his opponent, and the overall experience:
About his Training Camp: “I’ve had plenty of time to gear up, focusing on footwork and power punches. My trainer Eddie Gonzalez has got me in killer shape.”
On Facing De Luna: “He’s a young gun looking to make waves. With just one split-decision loss, he’s nearly undefeated. I’ve got some aces up my sleeve that I think will trip him up. My ring experience will be my edge.”
His Thoughts on FOX Deportes Broadcast: “Being live on FOX Deportes is a big deal, and I’m amped to put on an epic fight. It’s going to be a battle, no doubt.”
On the “New Blood” Series and Venue: “These studios are state-of-the-art; everything is top-level. The production is going to look killer on TV. Headlining ‘New Blood’ is huge for me, and I’m going all-in to deliver a show-stopping performance.”
