Israel Vazquez: "I'm coming back because I love the sport. I feel really good physically and mentally.

"I'm in great shape, I've trained really hard and I'm confident that I will beat Priolo. I've practiced a lot more defense and movement using angles and I'm ready for the 10th."
Rundy Perez, Vazquez' trainer:
"He's really hungry and confident for this fight and that makes his whole team confident in him. I've been with him for five weeks and we are ready to fight.
"We have been working on his defense and you will see the new Vazquez on October 10th."
