Julio Cesar Chavez did not hide the bad impression he had of Diego Armando Maradona, with whom he coincided when he managed Dorados.

In an interview with Adrian Marcelo, he talked about his first contact with the Argentine, to whom he confessed to his face that he did not like him.

"When I was with Maradona in Culiacan, I had a bad impression of him, and I told him to his face, 'I liked you fat, that's why I didn't go to your show', because he invited me to his show and I didn't want to go", he mentioned.

However, when he began to talk with Maradona his perspective changed and he asked for forgiveness: "But now that I know you, I apologize".

As their meeting passed, Julio Cesar Chavez shared the compliments he received from Diego Armando Maradona, an experience he keeps fondly.

"He didn't know what to do with me; he was kissing me and praising me, just beautiful things, I keep that beautiful memory".

"The three fights were complicated; the first one against Azabache Martinez was a great fight," he recalled the bout he held on September 13, 1984.

"The second with Edwin Rosario, many say it was easy, but it wasn't, he hit very hard, but I still gave him a beating," about the fight on December 21, 1987.
