This coming Saturday night, hard punching Puerto Rican junior welterweight Subriel Matias (14-0, 14 KO's) will stay busy by facing Argentine boxer Jonathan José Eniz (24-12-1, 9 KO's) as the main attraction of the card “Noche de Terror 3 ”, which will be staged at the Tomás Dones Coliseum, in Fajardo.

The fight will mark the first time that Matias steps inside the ring after stopping Russia's Maxim Dadashev on July 19 in an International Boxing Federation (IBF) final world title eliminator.

A few days after that fight, which was held in Maryland, Dadashev died as a result of the injuries he suffered on the ring.

Some wonder if Matias will ever be the same, at least mentally, in the aftermath.

“I have not been inside the ring for a fight and it is different from when you train. So far I don't know how my mind will work, but I believe that there should not be a problem. I am asking God that this (past experience) does not affect me,” said Matias to Sara Hernandez.

Matías revealed that after the death of his last opponent, he sent a private message of sympathy Dadashev's Instagram account. He never received a response, which he understands. He also recalled that several fans sent him messages accusing him of being a murderer.

“Many people there (from Russia) wrote to me, calling me a ‘murderer’ and things like that. But he who knows about sport knows that it could have been me. It saddens me (the death of Dadashev), I will not lie. I suffered as if I had been a relative of mine,” Matias said.

Matias also read some of the overseas allegations that Dadashev may have entered the ring with a pre-existing medical condition.

“I understand that it wasn't just the punches in the ring. I understand that there was something else that has not come out,” Matias said.

“(I learned) that we don't know when it's going to be our last day and that this is a pretty serious sport. I recommend to the athletes that if you are not well prepared, mentally and physically, do not do it."

Matias is waiting for the IBF to to advise him of his mandatory status to Josh Taylor, who defeated Regis Prograis a few weeks ago to unify the IBF, WBA world titles at 140-pounds.
