Betlehema, PA (Aprily 11, 2018) – Junior lightweight contender Frank De Alba feels that 2018 could be his year. He first he must get past O'Shaquie Foster in the headline bout Dia izao: Ity Zoma alina!! amin'ny Sands Bethlehem Event Center.
Ny bout, which is scheduled for eight-rounds tops a 6-bout card that is promoted by King’s Promotions.
In the six-round co-feature pitting cruiserweights Luther Smith (9-2, 8 Kos) ny Bowie, MD taking on Elvin Sanchez (8-3-1, 6 Kos) ny Paterson, NJ.
De Alba ny Reading, Pa. will be making his first start in over a year as bouts fell through due to opponents not making weight, and De Alba suffering a cut in training just days before his last scheduled in February.
De Alba has been working hard through all of his bad luck.
“My training has been great. It’s been a long time. I was scheduled for November and my opponent missed weight by 14 kilao. Then in February, I got cut six days before the fight. Through it all, I have been training. I took a week off, and then I was right back in the gym, and for that, I don’t think I will have any ring rust. I have been training for fights in the last year, it may say I haven’t fought, but I have been staying busy,” Hoy De Alba.
In Foster, he is facing a tough fighter who hopes to resurrect his career after a couple of losses set-back the one-time touted prospect.
“Foster is a slick fighter. I have seen him on film two or three times. He is a good test, a risky fight, but this is what this sport is all about. I need these fights to get to the next level. I just have to take the fight to him.”
De Alba feels that a win on Friday night will not only get him his 6th consecutive win, but a significant fighter later in the year.
“Whatever a win does, it will lead to something better in my career. Hopefully a regional title fight and a world ranking.”
Friday night will be the 5th start for De Alba at The Sands Bethlehem Event Center, ary ny 30 year-old is ready to put in a good performance for his fans.
“I love fighting there. It is a close commute for my family and fans. I expect there to be a nice crowd for me on Friday. I want everybody to purchase tickets, and they can expect fireworks.”
