“We are two boxing legends so we know what comes with being in the ring,” Barrera said. “We know the respect.
“However I got a little bit shocked seeing Ricky post all his progress, post all his workout routines, his boxing, I can see he’s getting in great shape.
“I’m training hard as well. It’s going to be a good exhibition, it’s going to be a good fight for the people.”
