“I feel I’ve earned the right to fight the winner of this
fight.” continued Cortes. “I’ve never turned down a fight
and did everything my promoter told me to do. I’m grateful
to Top Rank for getting me to this point in my career and
now I’m ready to become a world champion. All I need is the
opportunity.”
