AQIB FIAZ believes he is going to learn a lot from his Fight Camp appearance.
The Lees super-featherweight prospect opens the show this evening with an eight-round contest against Spaniard Kevin Baldospino.
The 6-0 Jamie Moore-trained prospect is ready for a tough night against a fighter who has won nine of his 16 fights.
“I was supposed to be here last year, but everything happens for a reason, and I finally get my chance,” said Fiaz, who fell ill on the eve of his clash with Kane Baker 12 months ago.
“I’m looking forward to Saturday night, I’ve got quite a few people coming so I look forward to a great night.
“This is great for my development, these sort of fights, they’re not easy, they’re learning fights. I’m learning the trade and like you say, I want to pick some titles up but first of all activity is key.
“I’ve been inactive for 10 months by the time we fight, as a prospect that’s a long time, get active and get some belts.
“He’s definitely one of those opponents that if I’m not on my game he will cause me problems all night long, so I need to be the best version of myself and I look forward to a good performance.”
The fight is live on Matchroom’s social media from around 6pm.
