The fight, set to take place at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Saturday, follows Pantoja's injury-induced title loss in December. Despite losing three times to Van, Moreno still believes in his fighter's victory. Moreno, speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, expressed his excitement about the matchup, stating, \"I love the fight. I think it's going to be a super good fight.\" While acknowledging Pantoja's past successes, Moreno added, \"I don't know, I have this feeling where I think Joshua is going to win.\" Moreno also noted Pantoja's tendency to find ways to overcome adversity, but is confident in Van's abilities, recognizing Van's youth and enjoyment of the sport as contributing factors to his win.",
