Fortuna vs. וואַסקעז, which was originally scheduled to take place מייַ 23, replaces the bout between Paulie Malignaggi and Danny O’Connor as Malignaggi suffered a severe cut above his eye in training camp.

An amateur standout who participated in the first Pan American Junior Championships in 2003, די 25-יאָר-אַלט אַשירעס (27-0-1, 20 קאָס) owns victories over Abner Cotto, מיגועל זאַמודיאָ און פּאַטריק הילאַנד. The undefeated rising star out of La Romana, Dominican Republic holds four knockouts over his last six fights as he looks to put on another great show on מייַ 29.
The 27-year-old וואַסקעז (35-1, 18 קאָס) is quickly becoming known as the preeminent pugilist from the island of Costa Rica. The San Juan-native is the winner of his last five fights, including a stoppage of Sergio Thompson in Dec. 2014. Vasquez does not shy from any competition and will not back down when he faces his toughest test to date in Javier Fortuna on Spike TV.
O’Connor will now fight in his hometown of Boston on שבת, מייַ 23 on the undercard of the פּבק אויף נבק event from Boston University’s Agganis Arena.
