April 13 event marks the return of boxing to the Minneapolis Armory, tempat bersejarah yang hampir menjadi tuan rumah 100 kartu antara 1915 dan 1973, termasuk pertunjukan yang dibintangi oleh Sugar Ray Robinson yang hebat sepanjang masa 1942.

“Warriors Boxing is thrilled that PBC, FS1 and FOX Deportes are bringing professional boxing back to Minneapolis on Hari Jumat, Bulan April 13,” kata Leon Margules, Presiden Laskar Tinju. “There couldn’t be a more fitting venue than the newly renovated, historic Minnesota Armory in downtown Minneapolis. The Armory has a rich boxing tradition and has not hosted a boxing event for 45 tahun. It will be a great night for the highly acclaimed PBC on FS1 and FOX Deportes series in this beautiful and historic building.”

“Jamal James has staked his position as a rising contender in the welterweight division and has the kind of fan-friendly style that fits perfectly in the talent-rich 147-pound class,” kata Tom Brown, Presiden TGB Promosi. “Ramos doesn’t back down and will certainly test Jamal in front of his hometown crowd. Dennis Galarza will face his own challenge when he goes up against the tough veteran Edner Cherry and it’s a rare treat to see two young unbeaten prospects like Dulay and Colbert squaring off this early in their careers. All the fights have a significant bearing on the future of the boxers involved and that will work out well for the fans.”

James (22-1, 10 Biaya) datang dari kemenangan terbesar dalam karirnya – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Desember. 15. James yang berusia 29 tahun bergabung dengan juara dunia seberat 147 pound Keith Thurman sebagai satu-satunya petinju yang mengalahkan petinju Argentina yang tangguh.. Itu adalah kemenangan kedua berturut-turut bagi James sejak menderita satu-satunya kekalahan dalam karirnya – kekalahan keputusan dengan suara bulat dari Yordenis Ugas pada Agustus. 12, 2016. James belum pernah bertempur di kampung halamannya di Minneapolis sejak dia membuat keputusan dengan suara bulat atas Mohammed Kayongo 2013.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to compete on this platform and to show the nation and the world that Minnesota has great fighters and an enthusiastic fan base for boxing,” said James. “Abel Ramos is a tough guy who will come to fight, but coming off the big win over Chaves, I’m in a position in my career where I’m trying to reach that world championship level. I have to continue to demonstrate the ability to perform under pressure in difficult fights. I know he’s coming to pull off an upset, but that’s not happening.”

Ramos (18-2-2, 13 Biaya) akan menyelesaikan kepindahannya ke divisi kelas welter dengan menghadapi James setelah melakukan debutnya di kelas welter dengan penghentian Emmanuel Robles Juli lalu. Petenis berusia 26 tahun dari Arizona telah memenangkan tiga dari empat pertarungan terakhirnya dan satu-satunya kekalahan profesionalnya terjadi di tangan pesaing berat seberat 140 pon Regis Prograis dan Ivan Baranchyk.

“I’m a real Mexican warrior and I never back down from a fight,” said Ramos. “I’m not worried about going into Jamal James hometown and fighting him there. I’m going to disappoint Jamal and all his fans in Minneapolis, because I’m coming to win.”

Ceri (36-7-2, 19 Biaya) telah mengalahkan pesaing yang pernah kalah, Haskell Rhodes dan Omar Douglas sejak kalah dalam keputusan terpisah dari Jose Pedraza dalam pertandingan gelar dunia seberat 130 pon di 2015. Cherry of Wauchula yang berusia 35 tahun, Florida sebelumnya telah menantang Tim Bradley dan Paulie Malignaggi selama karirnya yang mencakup 10 kemenangan beruntun setelah pertarungan Bradley..

“Dennis Galarza is a great, young fighter who is on the rise, coming to win and looking to become a world champion, but he is in for a real fight,” kata Cherry. “I’m not taking this fight lightly, I’m getting ready, and I’m ready to go all out on April 13. Setelah ini, I hope I’ll get my third opportunity at a world title. I took the Lydell Rhodes, Omar Douglas and Jose Pedraza fights because I’m a warrior who wants the opportunity to fight the best, dan, ultimately, to fight for a world title. The Pedraza fight didn’t go my way on the scorecards, but the whole world knows the true outcome of that fight. I went back to work and I’m ready to prove it again.”

Galarza (16-2, 9 Biaya), petinju amatir yang luar biasa, sedang meningkatkan persaingan dengan pertarungan ini melawan Cherry yang lebih berpengalaman. Galarza yang berusia 25 tahun, yang dari Brooklyn tetapi berlatih di Orlando, telah memenangkan tiga pertarungan beruntun sejak kalah dalam split decision dari Cesar Alan Valenzuela pada September. 16, 2016.

“My eyes have been on Edner as a friend and as a fan since I was young, but this is business and I’m going to be ready,” Kata Galarza. “Edner is a true warrior who never lets up and a crafty veteran who has fought a lot of great competition. The Pedraza fight I thought he possibly did win. A lot of people duck Edner Cherry because he beat top guys in Rhodes and Douglas his past two fights, plus he can punch with power. People think Edner’s going to break me down, but I took the fight that nobody wants to take. I believe in my talents and I’m ready to make my mark. This fight will demonstrate the type of fighter that I am.”

It is rare to see a match between two young prospects on the rise this early in their careers, but Dulay and Colbert are both eager for that challenge. Dulay (11-0, 8 Biaya) sibuk tahun lalu, bertarung empat kali dengan hanya satu pertarungan yang menempuh jarak. Burung kidal berusia 22 tahun dari Nashville, Tennessee terakhir mencetak kemenangan TKO atas Carlos Padilla Agustus lalu.

Colbert (7-0, 2 Biaya) memiliki salah satu karir amatir paling bergengsi di New York City saat dia bertarung di Atlas Cops dan Kids Gym yang terkenal di Brooklyn. Pemain berusia 21 tahun ini terkenal karena kecepatan tangan dan kakinya yang menyala-nyala dan dia memasuki pertarungan ini dengan kemenangan mutlak atas Titus Williams yang sebelumnya tidak terkalahkan November lalu..
