Jousce Gonzalez
“I want to thank god and Golden Boy for the opportunity. I am from Ecuador, fighting out of Miami. All I can say is that I am motivated and happy to be here. I am a hungry fighter and am ready to show the world what I am made of.”
“My rival is good, but I am prepared to obtain the victory and show them who Jousce Gonzalez is.”
“We are here to give a war. I am an intelligent fighter and can adjust to any style. Whatever Gonzalez throws at me I will be ready.”
