I'm happy and grateful to be with Jaime, Fernando, as always. We are proud and happy. And believe me, we are ready for Saturday. Jaime's team has done a great job. I want to thank his dad, Tony, Sergio, Carlos, Angel, Christian. And believe me, there will be a new version of Jaime on Saturday. He's very well prepared. And I'm grateful for this opportunity. To see Jaime fulfill his dream. To have fought in the tent out here. And now to be filling the stadium on Saturday. I think it's something significant.

First of all, I want to thank my entire team that is behind me. Without them, I wouldn't be here. Thank you very much. The other question was, Jaime, how are you feeling about fighting here in Tijuana? Well, I think that every day I feel more motivated. The desire to be on the ring, to see the stadium. All the people supporting me. It's a beautiful feeling. I'm very excited and ready for this moment. Any other questions from the press? Ivan Alfie for Azteca Deportes and Vox Azteca. Jaime, I wanted to ask you, as Fernando Beltran mentioned, after stepping on great stages like Phoenix and Las Vegas, to return to Tijuana as an idol in the Los Cholos stadium. What does it mean to you? And if you allow me to ask Bruno, if facing Jaime is the biggest challenge of your life? No, the truth is, as I said, it's a great honor for me to be returning to Tijuana. I was born here, I grew up here. It's a great honor for me to be able to share these moments with all of you. Today is my biggest challenge, the biggest fight of my life. I took my preparation to heart, I trained for years. It's a story that started in Marseille years ago with my father, that continues with Kaiser. We take back the legacy of the Marseillian boxers, with Mediamar, who boxed at Madison. I have the ambition to make a very big fight against Jaime and honor this victory. It's a great story that began in Marseille with my father as a child, and it's been taken on with Kaiser, my coach. We've been doing everything that we can to be ready for this great fight. Also with Mediamar, who boxed in the Madison Square Garden, who is here to support me. I'm ready for the greatest fight of my career. To this day, it's the biggest fight of my career. I've trained a lot for this fight. It's a great story that started in my hometown with my father, and now with my coach, Kaiser. I'm going to do everything I can to win this fight, and I'm ready for a great fight. Thank you very much, Azteca Deportes, Jaime. And to Fernando as well, Jaime. You've been able to maintain a little bit of humility, everything that has surrounded you, to have your family more united than ever. Now with you, you're going to have everyone who loves you here. What does it mean for you to control those nerves of the first rounds, to handle the emotions with a stadium that will be supporting you? How do you control that? And above all, your preparation. What has been refined? What has been renewed? We'll see on Saturday. Well, I think you have to focus on everything. You have to work on everything. You have to... We base ourselves on everything, mainly in boxing, physically and mentally, because it's a big weight, to be in the stadium with all my people. The truth is that it's something... As I said, it's a very big emotion, so you have to control that, make an intelligent fight, and give a great show to the people. Thank you, Jaime. And for Fernando, the advice for Jaime, here was Edgie Morales, you mentioned a few years ago, the advice on what's coming for him on Saturday, after having all the fans supporting him, and also talking a little bit about what you plan for him next year. Fernando, if you can go ahead. Well, the advice is to go out and do what makes you better, which is fighting. And the truth is that people are going to inject an additional energy to what he already has as preparation. I'm sure he's going to feel very good on the ring. He's a great fighter, he's a great person off the ring, and that's why he's doing so well. And the truth is, his future plans, we never talk about what's coming when we have such a big responsibility in front of us, but I can tell you that we would like to have big fights for next year, and above all, fight for the title of the world, and get our title back immediately. Thank you very much. Hello, how are you? Good afternoon. Luis Enrique Hernandez, Sentera 24-7. My question is for Bruno and Jaime, for both of you. How much do you know about each other, and do you have any predictions for this fight? He's a fighter that I've seen boxing a lot. I already knew him in Super Walter. He's a very aggressive fighter, he respects this Mexican heritage. So I prepared myself for an aggressive fighter who will be from start to finish. At this level, it's the details that count. We've worked a lot on the details, and I'm ready to deliver a great war to win this fight. Jaime is a fighter that I've seen a lot. I've seen him since he was in Super Walter. He's an aggressive fighter, and he also follows the tradition of Mexican fighters, because he's very aggressive. So I'm preparing for all of that. I'm focused on every detail, because every detail is important, and we're ready for a war. I've seen that he's a strong fighter, he's a fighter that throws a lot of combinations of punches. You have to be very careful with that. He has a good distance, a good jab. We've studied him well, but obviously, I've trusted the work we've done as a team, and we trust that we'll come out with our arms up. Jaime, good afternoon. For more news, I asked you the question last time on the press conference, and I'll ask you again. In what round do you plan to knock out Bruno? If I knew, I would have given him all the hot money. I don't know. The truth is, it's uncertain, but we're going to look for the knockout. Anything else? Another question? They say they're going to put some crepes out there. Very good. Let's go to the official photo. Thank you very much to all the media. Tomorrow, at 10 a.m., medical check-up. At 11 a.m., weigh-in at the Grand Hotel Tijuana. Please, let's clear this area. It's going to be for the photos. Thank you. Now, face to face.
