Andres Campos steps up against Chilean champion Ramón Velásquez

22-year-old Chilean Flyweight sensation Andres Campos (5-0) returns September 7th to take on Ramón Velásquez (7-2), the current Chilean National Flyweight Champion, for his title over 10 rounds at the Gimnasio Club Mexico in Santiago Chile.

28-year-old long-reigning champion, Velásquez, from Quellon island in the south of Chile, has vowed to stop the young prodigy and stake his claim as Chile's dominant flyweight.

Campos opened up about the challenge for his first Championship attempt, “Ramón is very strong, a brawler and it’s very difficult to land accurate the punches on him because he bend down his head a lot during the fight. Four years ago we fought in amateurs and I won easy, in the same weight.

“I think this is my best preparation in my life. I’m working with CEF (centro entrenamiento funcional), they are giving me all what I need in my train. Physiology, chiropractic, osteopath, physic preparation, nutrition and of course support in everything what I need. I’m feeling stronger than ever in my life. I’m very focus on that tittle.”

Campos Australian based manger Tony Tolj discussed his fighter's upcoming title test, “Campos is taking a step up fight and that’s what I do with all my fighters, you want to be the best then take on the best. Step by step and when the time comes for the world title, we will be ready and Chile will have their next world champion.”

The Chilean national championship is an honour steeped in history that dates back over 100 years to 1917.

Andres has a final word for his fans, “To all the fans who will watch the fight will see a very good fight, I’m ready for 10th hard rounds and I will not rest until I get the belt. The title is mine and I will be the champion of Chile and then head to Australia for 3 months of sparring with World rated fighters Andrew and Jason Moloney, Billel Dib and Bruno Tarimo.”
