Welcome to The Show! On Wednesday, interim WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez will stop by to talk about his upcoming title bout on Saturday.

On Saturday, October 21, Marquez will square off against Jimrex Jaca. The fight will be live from the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas and can be seen live on HBO PPV, starting at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Marquez enters the ring with a record of 45-3-1 with 34 KOs. He last fought in August, when he earned the interim WBO featherweight title with a seventh round KO of Thailand's Terdsak Jandaeng. In his fight before that, in March, he lost a highly disputed 12-round decision to Chris John in Indonesia.

Born in Mexico City, Marquez is one of eight children whose father was an ex-pro boxer. Entering the gym for the first time at the age of eight, Juan and his brother, current bantamweight world champion Rafael, learned quickly and Juan Manuel began fighting in amateur tournaments at 13.
