Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz, interim WBC super middleweight champion, promised to leave his soul in the ring when he faces Lamont Roach Jr. on December 6 in San Antonio, Texas.

In a virtual press conference, Pitbull Cruz assured that he will do whatever it takes to take the victory and warned Roach Jr. that he has enough power to knock him out.

“I'm going to leave my soul in the ring. I'm going to go for it, round after round, no matter how tough it gets. It's about giving the fans what they deserve. Gervonta Davis, Roach, and I are three completely different fighters. I hope Roach comes ready to fight, because it will be very different from what he saw in March against Gervonta,” he said.

“Lamont says he's going to knock me out, so I'm going to go after him with everything he takes. My power has always been there, and I've shown it in every fight I've had.
