At the "War in the Bay 5" media event hosted by New Money Fight Club at Legendz Boxing in San Jose, we up with the reigning light heavyweight champion, Jesus "Chuy" Rios. Fresh off his successful defense of the title at War in the Bay 4, Rios shared his excitement for the upcoming fight on July 20th. With a solid track record, including a victory over Leo Sea, Rios is ready to defend his title once again against his next opponent, Rafa Alvarez.
Rios discussed his rigorous preparation for this fight, revealing that he has shed some weight since his last match. Training diligently, he has dropped from 200 to 190 pounds, feeling more conditioned and stronger. The fight will feature an "any weight" limit, but Rios is confident in his current weight class and isn't concerned about his opponent's potential size advantage. His training camp has been intense, focusing on increased cardio, a strict diet of steak and eggs, and managing a minor wrist injury.
Looking ahead to the final weeks before the fight, Rios plans to ramp up his training with a focus on cardio and perfecting his jab. He will ease off in the final week to ensure he remains injury-free and ready for the big night. Rios, who trains primarily in his backyard with his brother, is determined to maintain his reign as the underground king. Fans can look forward to an exciting showdown as Rios aims to defend his title and continue his impressive run in the ring.
