THOUGHTS ON YOUR FIGHT AGAINST DAWODU...
Calvo: It's going to be a tough fight because Dawodu is an aggressive fighter. However I had challenging fights before and I always trust in my preparation. I know it will be a very tough fight for Dawodu too!

QUICK FIGHT UPDATES...
Calvo: Last year I had two important fights; the first being for the South American Championship in Peru at 63,5 kg. and the second, for the Argentinian K-1 title for the WKF at 60 kg. I won both fights. I've had the chance of fighting and representing Argentina in Beijing, Thailand, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay and Mexico in both categories. Now I can add Canada to my resume!

TOUGHEST FIGHT IN YOUR CAREER...
Calvo: My toughest fight was against Hugo Solorio from Mexico in 2010. He's a very strong, fast, and highly experienced boxer but thankfully I could manage that fight very well. I learned a lot from the fight and more importantly, I won.

WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIGHT...
Calvo: I'm always looking forward to fight the very best, doesn't matter who he is. It's the only way to evolve and become a better fighter.

WHAT'S UP NEXT...
Calvo: This year my goal is represent my country again in the IFMA World Championship taking place in Russia. The event takes place in September in St. Petersburg. I'm training hard to achieve this. Funnily enough I have a good chance of possibly fighting Dawodu again at those championships provided we both qualify!

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY...
Calvo: This is going to be a very exciting fight and I know we both are going to give everything to win. I have trained hard to have the PAMU Belt put around my waist. I feel glad for the opportunity and ready for the challenge. I am going to represent and make Argentina proud of me. Thank you also goes to my instructor Miguel Carpinacci! Calgary and Canada, expect a war!
