 PARK CITY, 堪萨斯州 ( 六月 1, 2017) – Wichita-native 尼科·埃尔南德斯 (1-0, 1 KO), 一 2016 奥运会铜牌得主, is on a mission to establish his home as a real “ fight town” like world champion Terence Crawford has done in Omaha, 内布拉斯加. The 21-year-old Hernandez returns to action 星期六, 六月 17, in the six-round main event against Mexican-born flyweight opponent 何塞·罗德里格斯 (2-0, 2 科斯), 领衔 “KO拳击之夜: Rapid Fire”, which will air (10 P.M. AND / 7 P.M. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Hartman Arena in Park City, 堪萨斯州.
“KO拳击之夜: Rapid Fire” is a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, 三月 25, in nearby Mulvane (KS), in which he knocked out 帕特里克·古铁雷斯 in the fourth round of the main event, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
埃尔南德斯’ 促进者, KO拳击之夜, LLC, is committed to showcasing Hernandez at home on national television, as well as provide a platform for young Kansas boxers for them to develop their skills and build intra-state rivalries as evident on this card.
“My plan is to do it like Terence Crawford has done in Omaha,” Hernandez explained. “我希望它对我也有效. 将拳击带到威奇托对我来说意义重大, 致整个堪萨斯州, for these fans and all the good, young boxers we have here.”
“This is a good opportunity for fighters from Wichita, across Kanas, to showcase their skills to the boxing world,” 促进者 John Andersen 说. “Nico is giving all these other fighters a chance to do that by headlining our shows on CBS Sports Network. They need to fight to develop; otherwise, they’d have to travel far from home just to fight. They can build fanbases close to their hometowns.
“We’re an up-and-coming promotional company, much like Nico as a pro fighter, and together we want to build boxing across Kansas and build natural rivalries like we have on this card. Nico is the perfect fighter to do this because, in addition to being an Olympic medalist, he’s a great role model for young people in Wichita, and Kansas as a whole, to emulate. We’ve planted the boxing seed in Wichita, through Nico, and we feel that boxing is going to grow across the state where Nico is bigger than life.”
