 PARK CITY, 堪薩斯州 ( 六月 1, 2017) – Wichita-native 尼科·埃爾南德斯 (1-0, 1 KO), 一 2016 奧運銅牌得主, is on a mission to establish his home as a real “ fight town” like world champion Terence Crawford has done in Omaha, 內布拉斯加. 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 Jose Rodriguez (2-0, 2 科斯), 領銜 “KO拳擊之夜: Rapid Fire”, which will air (10 P.M. AND / 7 P.M. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Hartman Arena in Park City, 堪薩斯州.
“KO拳擊之夜: 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), 在他淘汰了 Patrick Gutierrez in the fourth round of the main event, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
埃爾南德斯’ 促進者, KO拳擊之夜, 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. “I’m hoping it works out as well for me. It means so much for me to bring boxing to Wichita, to all of Kansas, 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,” 促進者 John Andersen 說. “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.”
