return to what he calls his second home when he challenges American
Austin Trout for the WBA light middleweight title at Madison Square
Garden in New York on December 1.
The 31 year-old Puerto Rican has fought at the Garden on seven
previous occasions and feels right at home fighting in front of New York
Fight fans: “I am really excited to come back to my second home”, said
Cotto. “Fighting at The Garden is always special for me and a true
pleasure. There is something unique in the atmosphere and it means a lot
to me every time I fight there because the energy of the fans gives me
extra motivation. Austin Trout will be a challenge for me, but I will
win my fifth world championship on December 1.”
Whilst Trout respects Cotto’s reputation as a great champion he feels it is now his time to shine on December 1.
““Miguel Cotto needs no introduction,” said Trout. “He’s a true
champion and one of the best fighters of the last ten years, but I’m the
present and future of the sport and this is just the showcase I need to
prove to the world that I’m one of the best, pound-for-pound. I can’t
wait to fight in such a legendary place like Madison Square Garden; it’s
every fighter’s dream.”
