Although he is about to face his WBC ropeweight world champion with McWilliams Arroyo, Julio Cesar Martinez, as the defending boxer, said in an interview with reporters at the last press conference before the match that he is very eager to fight with the current IBF ropeweight world champion Sonny Edwards. However, in order to take care of the emotions of his opponents, Julio Cesar Martinez also put some top hats on his opponent McWilliam Arroyo in the interview, saying that the matchup with McWilliams Arroyo will be the toughest match of his career so far.
This match against McWilliams Arroyo is already the fourth defending title since Julio César Martinez became the WBC Ropeweight World Boxer.
McWilliams Arroyo, who holds the temporary title, has threatened more than once in previous interviews to take the title of World Boxing Champion from Julio César Martinez. But every time he hears McWilliams Arroyo speak, Julio Cesar Martinez smiles and is confident that he will be able to keep his world champion gold belt. And he hopes to follow in the footsteps of his fellow idol, Sur Avarez, and become the undisputed overlord of the ropeweight.
Moreover, Julio Cesar Martinez wants to make the match against Sonny Edwards his first step towards this goal, as Julio César Martinez made an expedition to England in August 2019 and fought against Sonny Edwards' brother Charlie Edwards there, the first attempt by Julio Cesar Martinez to storm the WBC World Boxing Throne. Unfortunately, Julio Cesar Martinez continued to punch after Charlie Edwards fell to the ground, which ended in a no-result (NC) fight.
Even though Julio Cesar Martinez later managed to win the WBC Ropeweights World Boxing Championship title in December of that year by defeating Christopher Rosales, he still regarded the match with Charlie Edwards as his eternal regret.
Julio Cesar Martinez told reporters: "I am happy, I am motivated, as many people have said, there is nothing that cannot be facilitated, there is no condition that cannot be negotiated, so I am ready to start my journey. I'm excited to be in a new city and meet new boxing fans, and I hope they're happy with the performance I'm about to give. I'm at the peak of my career at the moment and feel great both physically and mentally. I know my opponent, McWilliams Arroyo, wants to win the tournament and win my World Champion Gold Belt. But believe me, I can win the game by judging and KO. Yes, in my eyes, as long as you can win. ”
"I know McWilliams Arroyo has lost four games before, but that's not why we underestimated McWilliam Arroyo, I want boxing fans to pay attention to this game because I want to face other world boxers after winning this match, I want to unify the world champion titles of the four major organizations and prove that I am the supremacy of the ropeweight. So Sunny Edwards, Artem Dalakian and Jun Nakatani are all my target rivals. I will do my best to achieve the goal of unifying the ropeweight world boxing championship next year. If I can't achieve this goal, I'll choose to level up to super rope, where I'll go and challenge legendary boxer Juan Francisco Estrada, Roman Gonzalez, and Sri Sackte. Julio César Martinez introduced to reporters.
"Still, I'm keen to fight a world champion fight with Sonny Edwards, because anyone who knows me knows that I regret not finishing a match with his brother Charlie Edwards. Now that he has a World Champion Gold Belt and I want to fight the World Champion United, why don't we try to compete, I don't mind going to England again. Julio César Martinez added.
