Kwenikweni chochitika, undefeated opepuka Omar Douglas will see action in an six-round bout when he takes on 70-fight veteran Jose Angel Beranza (36-32-2, 28 KO a) of Tepito, Mexico.

 

Douglas wa Wilmington, Delaware ali ndi mbiri 13-0 ndi khumi knockouts. He turned pro on May 27, 2011 ndi 3 kuzungulira disqualification kugonjetsa Eric Hall.

 

Douglas anapambana NABA USA Super Featherweight udindo ndi 2 kuzungulira stoppage pa Jean Javier Soto. Douglas also has a quality win with a 8-round unanimous decision over Jesse Carradine (8-2-2). Komaliza bout, Douglas yagoletsa ndi zachiwawa woyamba wozungulira stoppage pa Osnel Charles pa December 5, 2014 pa Harrahs Philadelphia.

 

“Maphunziro msasa watichitira zazikulu. I started preparing for this fight as soon as the last fight was over. I have been sparring with the best fighters in the area. When I started my camp, I was only seven pounds over the contract weight,”said Douglas.

 

Douglas knows very little about Ortiz.

 
I really only know that he is from Mexico and he has a pretty decent record.

 
This will be the first time that Douglas headlines in his home region and he not about to have any of the distractions to go with that.

 
I take it in stride. I consider it just another day at the office. The only difference is that I am closing the show.

 
This being his 14th pro fight, Douglas is now rounding into a situation where he knows what he has to do to continue to get better.

 
I have been very responsible with my defense. I always knew I had a pro style. It was my late trainer Lewis Lum who told me I was better suited to become a professional world champion than an Olympic gold medal winner.

 
Douglas sees himself continuing to grow and fighting on more high profile platforms as the year progresses.

 
I see myself on bigger cards. I am with Al Haymon so to fight on a PBC card is a goal for the year. By the end of the year, I should be considered a hot prospect and I should get in three or four more fights that should put my name out more.

 

Douglas finished by saying, “Pa April 25, expect a show. I will be smart and put everything together. I train for every opponent like they are the best. Once it all comes together it will be lights out!!”
