“Ruben has been coming along great, og April 14th, he will thrill his hometown fans,” sagde Banner Kampagner præsident, Arthur Pelullo. “We are looking forward to this special night for Ruben, for him not only to put on a great performance in his hometown, but to capture his first championship.”
“This show has been in the works for more than a year,” sagde Alex Camponovo, who as Matchmaker and General Manager of Thompson Boxing. “It’s an excellent show from top-to-bottom featuring talent from all over the Bay Area and surrounding parts.

Villa, 20, will be locked in a battle with fellow prospect Marlon Olea (13-2, 12 KOS) of Colombia in the 8-round “Ny Blood” main event where the WBO Youth Featherweight Title is up for grabs. Villa, a southpaw, is currently in Riverside, Calif. with trainer Max Garcia preparing for his main event debut.
