“He is a fighter who enjoys being on the offensive, he puts a lot of pressure on his opponents, can be dangerous on the counter attack and he has a dangerous left hook, but I think I am ready for whatever he brings to the ring on Sunday, ” Fuzile said.
He said an important part of his strategy would be to get a good start in the first two rounds, as those usually determine the direction in which the fight will progress.
“It is very important for me to start well, after that I can then figure out what his weak points are as well as his strong points,” he said.
Koasicha, 27, who is visiting SA for the first time, said he had prepared hard for this fight. “I know this fighter is very good, but we have prepared very well for him. “We want to fight all rounds, we want to fight hard, we will try to be attacking, I know this fight is going to be very hard, but I am sure I can win this fight,” Koasicha said.Koasicha thanked everybody back home in his home state of San Luis Potosi, Mexico for their support.
“The people in Mexico are really getting behind me for this fight, and they want to see me return with the belt.”
The official weigh-in will take place at noon on Saturday at the Summerstrand Hotel along Marine Drive.
