The boxer spoke about his upcoming fight with the Russian

Undefeated Cuban boxer Fernando Rodriguez will face tough opposition on Saturday night when he takes on hard-hitting Russian Dmitry Kudryashov in a WBA title eliminator. Rodriguez, 20-0 with 12 KOs, is the current WBA Fedelatin light heavyweight champion but will be considered an underdog against Kudryashov, who has 25 KOs from 26 wins.

However, Rodriguez is confident in his abilities and believes that his underdog status will motivate him to victory.

"I know that no one believes in me," Rodriguez told Fightnews.com. "But that's what motivates me. I'm going to prove everyone wrong and become the new WBA light heavyweight champion."

Rodriguez has been training hard for this fight and is confident that he has the skills and determination to defeat Kudryashov.

"I'm ready for this fight," Rodriguez said. "I've been preparing for it for a long time. I'm going to go out there and give it my all. I know that I can win this fight."

The fight between Rodriguez and Kudryashov will be a clash of styles. Rodriguez is a boxer-puncher who relies on his speed and agility to win fights. Kudryashov, on the other hand, is a heavy hitter who likes to come forward and put pressure on his opponents.

It will be interesting to see how the two styles match up on Saturday night. Rodriguez will need to use his speed and agility to avoid Kudryashov's power, while Kudryashov will need to put pressure on Rodriguez and force him to make mistakes.

The fight is sure to be an exciting one, and it could have a major impact on the light heavyweight division.
