Q&A Giovanni "Aztec Warrior" Segura

By Anson Wainwright

Mexico's Giovanni Segura may only weight 108 pounds but he certainly
punches his weight and then some he's currently 19-0-1(15) and the WBA
mandatory challenger, he's also highly rated by the other sanctioning
bodies he's #4 WBC, #3 IBF though the first two position's are vacant
and he's also #3 WBO. It's the WBA title that Segura will pursue he'll
head for France sometime in July at a date to be announced. All that
stands in his way is 2000 Olympic Gold medallist Brahim Asloum 23-2(9)
who won the title last time out when he narrowly outpointed Juan
Carlos Reveco back last December.

He remains very humble to both his fellow fighters and hasn't
forgotten his roots despite now living in Bell Gardens, California
he's a loyal Mexican. Segura's best wins to date are against Francisco
Arce KO1, Jair Jimenez KO4 & Former World champion Daniel Reyes KO1.
