After sitting out of the ring for over a year, the wait was well worth it for featherweight, Brandon Figueroa. He’s secured a spot on the card of boxing’s biggest star, Canelo Alvarez, on Cinco De Mayo weekend. Figueroa (24-1-1) with 18 knockouts will battle, Jessie Magdaleno (29-2) with 18 knockouts for the WBC interim title. Coming off of back-to-back wins, Figueroa hopes a win on Saturday night will not only enhance his stance within the division, but also put the boxing world on notice that he belongs with the upper echelon in the sport.
During a recent conversation with the two-fisted volume puncher, we discussed Saturday night’s fight, what makes his style unique, and much more.
