The Juan Beltrán Sierra Pavilion in Cruz de Piedra, Gran Canaria, will host the Boxing Provincial Finals this Sunday, starting at 12:00 PM. Among the various scheduled bouts, one will capture significant public attention: the heavyweight confrontation between Ricardo Bretenet, from the Fight Perdomo team, and Santiago Arias, from Nauzet I.
This duel is considered one of the most anticipated due to the even match between both fighters and the promise of three intense rounds. The significance of the fight lies in the fact that the winner will secure a spot in the playoffs for the National Championship, facing the Tenerife selection. The loser, on the other hand, will see their opportunity to compete at a national level thwarted. Both boxers know each other well, and Bretenet emerged victorious in their previous encounter.
“"There is a desire for revenge and victory."
Despite the rivalry, both athletes shared their pre-fight thoughts with sportsmanship. Arias, the 2022 Spanish champion, emphasizes the importance of this opportunity. Meanwhile, Bretenet assures that his motivation is at its peak and that he has prepared thoroughly. Both agree on the importance of following their coaches' instructions and enjoying the fight.
“"It's hard to beat me on motivation, because I've prepared thoroughly."
The crowd factor is also crucial for the boxers. The good attendance forecasts for the capital's venue are an incentive. The fighters highlight that feeling the support of the fans provides them with energy and an additional boost, both for themselves and for the other participants in the event.
