טאָראָנטאָ, אָנטאַריאָ, קאַנאַדע (יולי 23, 2016) – Lee Baxter Promotions announced that hard-hitting Juan Orozco will face Steven Wilcox Thursday, יולי 28 in the eight round main event of the first ever “Next Generation” card at Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, אָנטאַריאָ, קאַנאַדע.
The “Next Generation” fight series by Lee Baxter Promotions provides a platform for boxers with championship aspirations. Most of the boxers fight out of Canada but some will trek from across the world to display their talents.
Living and fighting out of Zamora, Michoacan de Ocambo, מעקסיקא, Orozco is 12-3-2 מיט 10 וויקטאָריעס דורך נאַקאַוט. A winner in four of his last five bouts with three of those wins by KO, Orozco stopped Camilo Fuentes July 16 אין מעקסיקא. He’ll also enter the ring as the naturally bigger man, fighting as heavy as 151 לבס.
One of Canada’s rising stars,Wilcox owns an outstanding 13-1-1 record and has 5 קאָ ס. Fighting out of Hamilton Ontario, Wilcox shutout Pedro Navarrete in March. Prior to his pro career, the 26-year-old had approximately 180 amateur fights and was a two-time Canadian lightweight champion.
"Both fighters deserve props for making this happen” said Lee Baxter. “Orozco is filling in on short notice for Jesus Singwancha, who withdrew after injuring his hand in training. אויף שפּיץ פון אַז, he just fought a few days ago. Wilcox also deserves credit for dealing with multiple opponent changes and going forward with no questions asked. אויף שפּיץ פון אַז, Orozco is a tough fighter and I’m expecting a very competitive fight.”
Tim “The Irish” Cronin, a cruiserweight from Etobicoke, אָנטאַריאָ, Canada looks to run his unbeaten streak to 9 fights when he challenges Kristof Demendei of Slovakia in a six round contest. Cronin, 7-1-1 (2 קאָ ס), has primarily fought in Ontario and hasn’t been defeated since his pro debut. Demendei, 10-1-2 (6 קאָ ס), fought all but one of his bouts in Slovakia and looks to rebound from a decision loss in June.

Junior middleweight Mayron Zeferino will have his first fight versus Quebec’s Danyk Croteau. Monster heavyweight Mladen Mijas of Ontario makes his pro debut against 5-1 Slovakian David Vyletel.
