“I have this, this desire inside of me, like. I want to try to do some boxing in the future. My coach says I can do something nice. I believe in him. So obviously, if they knock me out in the first round and in my first boxing match, I would say something like ‘okay, I tried at least'”.

Moreno looks to the future

The future, as you can imagine, looks pretty bright for Brandon Moreno. He’s one of the biggest combat sports stars in Mexico, he’s the champ, and he’s only 29 years old. If he can continue to improve with each and every passing performance, eventually, he’ll clean out the division at 125 pounds.

If that happens, you’d best believe he’ll take a look at what boxing has to offer.
