Former world lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico has arrived in Moscow, Russia for a very tough assignment. On Friday night, Castillo will take on the very dangerous Ruslan "Siberian Rocky" Provodnikov on November 28th.

"I am glad that I was given this opportunity," said Castillo. "I have a very strong contender in front of me and and I was waiting for a difficult fight. But for any type of fight I am equally seriously. When we leave the ring, it will already be clear who is who," Castillo said.
