New York native and well-known boxer Edgar Berlanga is set to fight Padraig McCrory in Orlando, Florida, on Feb. 24.

But no need to worry if you can't make it to Florida. Berlanga says his fans at home can still tune in to watch the fight via streaming. 

Berlanga has an undefeated record of 21 wins and zero loses — 16 of those wins by the way of knock out.

The boxer caught up with News 12's Elly Morillo about how he is preparing for the fight, his greatest motivation and reflects on how far his career has come. 

Edgar says his success is a result of overcoming adversity as he reflects on once living at a Bronx shelter home as part his journey. He is also a member of the Cristian Riviera Foundation.
