Pedro Marroquín FIGHT TALK WITH YOUR BOY THE WHATS NEXT KID interview

In the Pedro Marroquín FIGHT TALK WITH YOUR BOY THE WHATS NEXT KID interview, the Mexico City-based Muay Thai fighter discussed his upcoming 63-kilogram title fight with Kirby at Capital Punishment 7 in Ottawa. He also spoke about winning a CMTO belt at 67 kilograms, the work behind his next fight and his ambition to reach ONE Championship.

What did Pedro Marroquín say about his Capital Punishment 7 title fight with Kirby?

Pedro Marroquín said he will face Ottawa fighter Kirby for Capital Punishment’s 63-kilogram Muay Thai title on October 24. The bout is scheduled for five three-minute rounds, and Marroquín expects a demanding fight against an opponent he described as technical and strong. It will be his first appearance on a Capital Punishment card.

Kirby and the 63-kilogram title

Marroquín made clear that the belt belongs to the Capital Punishment promotion. He said he felt some pressure with a title at stake, but was excited by the chance to become a champion in Canada. Kirby’s strength appeals to him rather than putting him off: Marroquín said he enjoys facing strong opponents.

He has not met Kirby personally. Marroquín said he had seen posts featuring his opponent and knew him to be a good fighter at 63 kilograms, but he had not spoken with or faced him when we talked. He expected they might meet at the weigh-ins.

Five rounds in Ottawa

Marroquín expects the scheduled five rounds to test what he can do across his striking game. He pointed to his punches, low kicks, boxing and clinch as tools he intends to use, and said he would keep pressing rather than give up. His immediate goal is the promotion’s belt, not a title from a separate organization.

What did Pedro Marroquín say about his CMTO title in Toronto?

Pedro Marroquín said he won a CMTO title at 67 kilograms this year, giving him a recent championship result as he prepares to challenge Kirby at 63 kilograms. He also described competing twice in an eight-man tournament in Toronto shortly before the interview. He cited those fights as part of a year of steady training and competition.

Two fights in Toronto

Marroquín said he had fought twice at the Toronto tournament about two weeks earlier. He did not give results for each individual bout, but he connected that recent activity with how prepared he feels for another opponent. His account of the tournament was brief; the result he emphasized was his CMTO belt.

The CMTO belt at 67 kilograms

Marroquín summed up the achievement in his own words:

I'm CMTO champion this year

The CMTO title he described was at 67 kilograms, while the Capital Punishment title fight is set for 63 kilograms. He treated the earlier win as a reason for confidence, but said he was continuing to train hard for the belt in Ottawa.

How is Pedro Marroquín training for Capital Punishment 7?

Pedro Marroquín said he is training twice a day, six days a week for his Capital Punishment 7 title fight. He described the schedule as part of a year without a training break, with the final stretch focused on his plan for Kirby. For Marroquín, discipline and full effort are requirements of a championship camp.

That routine followed a busy period of competition, including his fights in Toronto. Marroquín said the recent activity helped him feel ready for opponents, but he did not suggest the work was finished. With roughly two weeks left when we spoke, he was concentrating on how to apply his game plan in the upcoming bout.

His description of that plan stayed close to the skills he trusts. Marroquín singled out strong punches, low kicks, boxing and clinch work, and said he wanted to put his heart into the fight. He did not claim to know Kirby personally or describe a prior face-off that had changed his approach.

The schedule is demanding, but Marroquín presented it as an established routine rather than a short burst for one event. He said he had been training throughout the year and regarded the title opportunity as another reason to maintain that effort.

Why does Pedro Marroquín want to fight in ONE Championship?

Pedro Marroquín said fighting in ONE Championship is a goal, not a confirmed booking or contract. He views the promotion as a platform for leading fighters and believes competing against strong opponents in Canada could give him the visibility to move toward it. He reported a professional record of 29 wins and eight losses.

Marroquín did not give a timetable for joining ONE Championship. Asked about the possibility, he spoke of someday getting a fight there or potentially a contract. His focus remained on earning good victories rather than presenting the move as something already arranged.

He linked the Ottawa opportunity to that longer-term ambition. In Marroquín’s view, a fight in Canada can produce footage of him against a strong opponent and help more people see what he can do. That is why the Kirby bout matters to him beyond the Capital Punishment belt.

The record Marroquín gave—29 wins and eight losses—was his own account at the time we spoke. He did not break down those results by promotion or describe a specific ONE Championship offer.

Where can fans watch Pedro Marroquín at Capital Punishment 7?

Pedro Marroquín said fans can watch Capital Punishment 7 live on MILLIONS, while those attending in Ottawa can buy tickets. He encouraged viewers to watch the wider Muay Thai card, not just his bout with Kirby. He also directed fans to his Instagram account for training and fight updates.

The MILLIONS stream and Ottawa tickets

Marroquín identified MILLIONS as the live-stream destination for the event. He mentioned an online ticket platform but was uncertain of its name, so he did not provide a clear purchase address. His invitation was straightforward: attend if possible, or follow the card by stream.

Training and fight updates

He said his Instagram posts include material from training and his fights, and also mentioned Facebook as a place to follow him. Marroquín hoped viewers would enjoy his performance in Ottawa and said he wanted to bring the belt back to Mexico.

Who helps Pedro Marroquín prepare in Mexico and Canada?

Pedro Marroquín credited next to my tie, the gym where he trains every day, and his coach Marco Fuentes for supporting his Capital Punishment 7 preparation. He also thanked master boxing in Cambridge, Canada, for giving him training and advice when he visits the country.

Daily work with Marco Fuentes

Marroquín described next to my tie as his regular gym and said its support helped him get ready for the fight. He singled out Marco Fuentes by name as his coach. He did not detail a particular session or assign one part of his fight plan to Fuentes; his thanks covered the preparation as a whole.

Help from master boxing in Cambridge

When Marroquín goes to Canada, he said master boxing in Cambridge provides training and advice ahead of fight day. He presented that help as a recurring part of his visits, alongside the daily work he does at his home gym. Both acknowledgments came as he discussed the people supporting his trip to Ottawa.
