As expected, WBA super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara (24-2-2, 14 KOs) continued his reign with a fourth round knockout of former world champion Yuri Foreman (34-3, 10 KOs) on Friday night at Hialeah Park Racing and Casino in Miami.
“I’m very happy with my performance tonight,” said Lara afterward. “He was a little bit awkward, so I had to make some adjustments and we got him out of there. I’m ready to fight the best in the world, Golovkin, Canelo… whoever is willing to step in the ring with me, I’m willing to fight.”
“I love fighting in Miami in front of all my Cuban fans. The fans here bring out the best in me and I always have a good night of boxing. I want to dedicate this fight to Luis DeCubas Sr., whose birthday is today and has helped me throughout my career,” said Lara.
