Victor Pasillas Training Camp Quotes
Undefeated 122-pound prospect Victor Pasillas shared insight
into his training camp and more as he prepares to take on
fellow unbeaten Ra’eese Aleem for the interim WBA super
bantamweight title Saturday, January 23 live on SHOWTIME® in
a Premier Boxing Champions event from Mohegan Sun Arena in
Uncasville, Conn.
The event is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB
Promotions.
Fighting out of his native Los Angeles, Calif. the
28-year-old Pasillas (15-0, 8 KOs) had an extensive amateur
career and burst onto the scene with a career-best victory
in September 2020, as he knocked out the previously unbeaten
Ranfis Encarnacion in the sixth round.
With a victory on January 23, Pasillas puts himself into
position for a world title shot, potentially against the
winner of that night’s main event that pits WBO 122-pound
Champion Angelo Leo against unbeaten rising star Stephen
Fulton Jr. Here is what Pasillas had to say about training,
his upcoming showdown against Aleem and more:
On his recent training camp in Redwood City, Calif., with
coach Brian Schwartz:
“I’m having a really good training camp and I’ve been
getting great sparring from my boys Eros Correa and Arnold
Dinong. These guys are pushing me to the limit. In addition,
my coach Brian Schwartz is right on point with everything
we’ve been working on. I’m feeling great as we enter the
final days of training camp.”
On his matchup with Ra’eese Aleem:
“I keep telling everyone that this fight is going to steal
the show. I’m ready to put a beating on him and have the
world witness a major beatdown. You have two pit bulls who
are going to leave everything in the ring, and this pit bull
will not be denied. This is going to be an all-out war and I
can’t wait. I’m coming to knock his ass out.”
On making his SHOWTIME debut on January 23:
“I’m so grateful to my manager Greg Hannley and everyone at
PBC and SHOWTIME for giving me this opportunity. Ever since
I was a little kid, I always dreamed about what it would be
like to fight on the big stage and here we are. Words cannot
describe how I’m going to feel when I step in that ring on
fight night. I’m getting butterflies just thinking about it.
I’ll be ready to show out and show the world that I’m elite.
Everyone should be tuning into SHOWTIME on January 23,
because the goblin will be let loose.”
On what a victory will do for his career:
“Because this fight is for the WBA interim title, when I
beat Aleem, it’s going to put me next in line to fight for
the regular world title, so this fight means everything to
me. I’m going to eliminate Aleem from the path, and I won’t
stop until I become the unified champion at 122-pounds.”
