Where does your son train? He trains at home runs and then goes to three gyms. Miura Boxing, Nuevo Jordan and Tortoise Bustos. And sometimes, because one day he told me, no, I want to fight. I want to have an amateur fight. And I told him, oh, yes, but you have to do sparring first so that you can do well. Oh, yes, yes, yes, daughter. I spoke to Jose Luiso, our former champion, a close friend of mine. I told him, luigi, I'm going to take the Moor to a sparring partner. So you can put someone on him. Exactly. He arrives, I stand there to watch. I recorded him a little bit and by the second round he's all dressed up. I said, oh, man. Now he's done with the three rounds, he takes off his mask all bloody like that. I said, ah. To say, ah. Oh, dad, no. Why this? You see, Look. Look how proud. This is what he really wanted. So he just wants to fight today. He's going to take him to have his MRI done. I actually spoke to the doctor, doctor at. To have him have an MRI done. He's been very dedicated for three. He's in shape and well, I can't take that away from him. And he's going to fight well. Thank you. I hope to God that everything goes well today. And when would he fight? Well, when he trains for a month so that he can make his amateur debut. And where are these fights? I remember once I went there to the Polanco Forum. There were some fights there, but those are professional fights. To fight in amateurs and tournaments or in a simple gym, you have a fight that isn't sparring, it's training with a mask and without a referee. When it's a fight, you put this on a referee and judges and you win or lose. And he already convinced me. I mean, he convinced me with his performance, with his discipline and the. At what age did he start boxing? During the pandemic? Oh, I mean, recently. Yes, five years ago. I have children aged nine and 10, and I've been wanting to get them into boxing for a while now. I mean, years. My wife is not so convinced. I think it's a great sport, a great discipline, it gives you great control over your body.
