Indonesian professional boxer, Chris John, said that he was ready to face his opponent, Fernando Saucedo, in the ring on Sunday.
“Especially to face Sauced, I have trained for two months, one and a half of which was spent training in Australia. I am ready to enter this match and this is why I am brave enough to pick December as the month of the match,” he said, as reported by Antara news wire.
