Subriel Matias, the IBF light welterweight champion, has set his sights on making challenger Liam Paro "suffer" in their upcoming bout.
Matias, 32, is keen to send a message to the other fighters in the 140-lb weight class by dominating Paro. Despite his impressive record, none of the other champions have shown interest in fighting Matias, leaving him potentially facing less prominent opponents in the future. Paro, however, has been on a winning streak, having recently stopped Montana Love and Brock Jarvin. Yet, these opponents do not match Matias's skill.
The Puerto Rican crowd will be firmly behind Matias in this homecoming fight, adding to the pressure on Paro. Matias has made it clear that he intends to make Paro suffer and leave a strong message for the division. Paro, on the other hand, is confident in his preparation and believes he is ready to take on the challenge. He acknowledges the crowd's support for Matias but remains focused on the fight.
