“A Monday before the fight in 2018, on the phone I negotiated everything for three days so that the bastards would release it “, he said with annoyance.
He also confessed: “after negotiating I still thought what it would have been like if it had been my daughter , my mom or dad, without a doubt it would have been even more difficult and I also had the fight on Saturday, a thousand interviews and no one ever knew anything ”.
The fighter said that did not tell the police anything to avoid any type of retaliation of criminals against his brother.
“When they call you to tell you that your brother is kidnapped you go crazy in that Instantly, then I decided that I should take a moment to calm down because I had a fight on the doorstep and I wanted to fix it. Thank God everything went well ”, he sentenced.
