Selina Barrios asusta a su oponente, Zarina Tsoloyeva se retira de la lucha



Rayne, LA (Noviembre 2, 2017) – Dos días después de Halloween, sensación femenina invicta, ligero Selina “Reina azteca” Barrios (2-0, 1 KO), ha asustado a su oponente, Zarina Tsoloyeva (Pro Debut) de Zhaksy, Kazajstán, mientras se retiraba de su pelea programada de 4 rondas, que tendrá lugar hoy en The Rayne Civic Center en Louisiana. Tsoloyeva se negó a pisar la báscula en el pesaje de ayer.
Selina Barrios es una de las luchadoras más evitadas en los Estados Unidos y ahora Kazajstán. Ébano jones de Alabama, Alpha Patricia Lopez de Mexico, y ahora Zarina Tsoloyeva de Kazajstán, todos firmaron para pelear contra Selina pero retrocedieron para pelear con ella en el último minuto. Jones y López no se presentaron, mientras Tsoloyeva que es de la lejana tierra de Kazajstán, apareció en el pesaje, pero declinó pisar la balanza.
“Estaba dispuesto a pelear contra Zarina Tsoloyeva, el aficionado decorado de Kazajstán, pero ella se retiró en el último minuto, como mis dos últimos oponentes” dijo Selina Barrios de San Antonio. “Ha sido muy difícil lograr que los oponentes peleen conmigo. Siempre he dicho, No me importa a quién ponen delante de mí, Pelearé con cualquiera. Tengo tanta confianza en mis habilidades. No tengo más remedio que seguir adelante, pero estoy respetuosamente enviando un mensaje a todos en las divisiones livianas y súper livianas, Yo no voy a ninguna parte, eventualmente todos tendrán que pelear conmigo.”
Nada descarrilará a Selina mientras se mantiene positiva y continúa trabajando duro, buscando esa oportunidad para desafiar lo mejor que las divisiones livianas y súper livianas tienen para ofrecer. Los manejadores de Selina ahora deben moverla a combates de seis y ocho asaltos de inmediato, para escapar y llegar a una pelea de campeonato a medida que gana más experiencia en el ring como profesional.
“Mirando a todos los mejores pesos ligeros y superligeros, Predigo que Selina luchará por un campeonato mundial antes de su décima pelea,” dijo el consejero Kerry Daigle. “Posiblemente por la pelea número siete u ocho. Vamos a trasladarla a seis y ocho rondas avanzando. Ya estoy en conversaciones con los organismos sancionadores para clasificarla.”
“Si nadie quiere pelear conmigo, entonces llamo a todos los luchadores con nombre en la división,” Selina Barrios continuó. “Amanda Serrano, Mikaela Mayer, Jessica McCaskill y por supuesto, Katie Taylor, Estoy dispuesto a pelear con ustedes en cualquier momento, dondequiera. Como dije, en algún momento, todos ustedes tendrán que pelear conmigo.”

We’ve recognized that Deontay’s opponent has changed, and we’ve restructured ticket prices to encourage as many fans as possible to attend a great night of fights, and the Heavyweight Championship of the world,” said Lou DiBella of DiBella Entertainment, the promoter of the card. “Stiverne is thrilled for this second chance and he has nothing to lose.

Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) dethroned defending champion Stiverne in January 2015 via unanimous decision in what was the promising challenger’s toughest fight to date.

BROOKLYN (Abril 23, 2017) - Shawn Porter anotó un nocaut en el noveno asalto de Otros Berto to become the WBC’s mandatory challenger to unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, presentado por Premier Boxing Champions, Sábado night on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2pS68zi

 

With the convincing victory, Porter potentially earns a rematch with Thurman, who he narrowly lost to last June in a 2016 Fight of the Year candidate at Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXEO ™.

 

The welterweight matchup was a rough and tumble affair from the opening bell. Desgaste (27-2-1, 17 KOs) barreled forward to smother the offense of Berto (31-5, 24 KOs), pounding Berto’s body at close range. A deep gash opened over Porter’s left eye from an accidental headbutt in the second, and another opened over his right eye just two rounds later. Porter’s constant aggressiveness and effective body work seemed to frustrate Berto, who struggled to stay off the ropes.

 

An odd series of events unfolded in the opening minute of the ninth round. With Berto unsteady on his feet following another clash of heads, Porter pounced and floored the former champ with a left hook for his second knockdown of the fight. Berto got up, but Porter continued to connect with Berto against the ropes and referee Mark Nelson waved off the contest at 1:31. En el momento de la detención, Porter had out-landed Berto 60-12 over the final two rounds.

 

“I have to clean up those head butts,Porter dijo. “We tried to use the whole ring, but sometimes in the heat of the battle stuff happens. I’m a fighter and Mr. Berto is a fighter as well, those head butts were just the two of us going in and fighting.

 

“I thought I fought smart esta noche. I thought I picked my punches well. There were times where I smothered my shots, but there were also times where I smothered him. He has a dangerous uppercut but we had a great game plan. This was a just very hard fought battle by both of us and I’m blessed to get the victory.”

 

Después de la pelea, Berto admitted that Porter’s aggressiveness and the accidental headbutts frustrated him.

 

“I have to give him credit, but he’s a rough fighter,” Berto said. “He has great skills but, al mismo tiempo, he was trying to be rough and trying to handle me anyway he could. I got a lot of headbutts, and he did too. Shawn’ is a tough competitor. We had a good competitive fight until the headbutts got to be a little too much for me. But I thought it was a really good fight before that.”

 

Después de la pelea, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Thurman, who was ringside for the eliminator, if he would grant Porter a rematch.

 

“His team was adamant about the rematch and now he’s fought his way to earning that,” Thurman said. “We just need to sit down and talk about. Tiene hambre, you see the way he fights, it could be a great fight again.”

 

Answered Porter: “I was just up here wishing he said yes – that’s the fight I want next.”

 

Jermell Charlo defended his WBC Super Welterweight World Championship in dominant fashion with a devastating sixth-round knockout of mandatory challenger Charles Hatley in the co-main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Charlo (29-0, 14 KOs) landed the crisper shots from the opening bell, using a sharp left jab to set up a remarkably efficient straight right. The Houston native Charlo, the younger twin of undefeated former 154-pound champion Jermall, floored Hatley (26-2-1, 18 KOs) midway through the third with a textbook left-right combo that stunned his fellow Texan.

 

Charlo’s striking precision continued in fourth and fifth, before an onslaught of punches and a perfectly timed right to the chin sent Hatley falling face-forward to the canvas. Referee Harvey Dock didn’t hesitate and instantly waved off the fight at :36 with Hatley out cold on the canvas.

 

The accuracy of Charlo’s jab was telling – he landed his jab at a 31 percent clip to set up his power shots, which connected at an impressive 52 por ciento. Total, Charlo aterrizó 42 percent of his total punches over nearly six full rounds of prizefighting.

 

“I used that jab to set up the right hand,” Charlo said. “I knew Charles Hatley goes down and he gets back up – he’s a warrior – and I knew I had to get in there and be a lion.

 

Hatley was moving around a lot. He was trying to engage and I tried to tell him to come fight. When he finally got in there, that’s when I got him out. I’m the champ so I have to continue to fight my mandatory. They got a guy named Jarret Hurd that took my brother’s title – we could unify.”

 

Amanda Serrano became the first women and the first Puerto Rican to win world titles in five weight divisions with an eighth-round TKO of Dahiana Santana to capture the vacant WBO Women’s Bantamweight World Championship in the featured bout of SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME.

 

Serrano (32-1-1, 24 KOs) was the aggressor from the opening bell, moving forward and attacking with precision as Santana (35-9, 14 KOs) backed up and ate a steady diet of counter shots. Santana was deducted a point for clinching in the fourth, and had visible welts above both eyes following the seventh.

 

Serrano was connecting at an almost 3-1 power punch ratio when referee Benjy Esteves stepped-in to stop the bout at 1:14 de la octava ronda.

 

“It means everything to me. We worked so hard. We worked hard for this moment,” Serrano said. “To be a five division world champion is amazing. To be the first female and first Puerto Rican is amazing.

 

“I’m so proud to be a Puerto Rican. I’m so proud to be a SHOWTIME fighter. I’m just so happy for this moment. Just to be a five-division world champion, I could retire today and it’d be the happiest moment of my life. I’m just getting started. I hope I’m back again.”

 

In the opening bout of SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME, Jose Miguel Borrego (12-0, 11 KOs) knocked out a game John Delperdang (10-3, 9 KOs) en 2:07 of the seventh in a scheduled eight-round welterweight contest.

 

Borrego, who landed his uppercut at will throughout the bout, aterrizado 229 power shots at a more than 50 percent clip in the action-packed bout.

Esto es lo que los participantes tenían que decir Jueves:
OTRAS BERTO
I started my career in New York and it feels great to be back here in New York. This is going to be a fantastic night of fights. I go a long way back with a lot these fighters up here. It’s tremendous to see these fighters still dialed-in and at this level. I’m the old vet in the group now.
I’m still on top of my game. That’s something that’s hard to do. Tuvimos una enorme campamento. One of the best I’ve had in years. I was focused the whole time.
I’m looking forward to putting those straps on just like they never left. I respect Shawn and his dad, pero ahora mismo, they’re in the way.
I’m going to show you what it is to go through adversity in life and make it to the top again. Sábado noche, we’re going to make it happen.
SHAWN PORTER
When it’s time for the fight, Andre Berto and I are going to put on a show. I’ve seen this man get hit, I’ve seen him get put down and he got up. I know he can be hurt and I know he can be stopped, He’s a man just like me. He’s ready, but not as ready as me. You don’t want to miss it en sábado noche.
The number one thing for me is to win this fight and show Keith Thurman that I’m ready for the rematch. There is nothing allowed but positive energy. We’re almost there. I’m definitely excited.
Andre Berto is dangerous if you allow him to be. We do everything we can to make sure that doesn’t happen. I have no doubt in my mind that we won’t be in any danger en sábado noche.
We saw during the Floyd fight that footwork can work against Andre Berto. Against Josesito Lopez we saw that you can box Berto, but you need to get out of the pocket. Against Victor Ortiz we saw that he got put down by Victor. The difference between Victor Ortiz and myself is that I’m a fighter who never stops. I’m coming after you.
The jab will be a key to this fight. I can throw my jab a lot of different ways. You’ll see me using my jab a lot in this fight.
Some people thought Garcia-Thurman lacked action, but I’m not worried about that for this one. I don’t condone boos. That’s just how I fight.
Jermell Charlo
I’m glad to finally have this opportunity. Ha sido un rato largo que viene. My coach has already scripted the way he wants this fight to go. I have to make it happen.
I’m excited to announce that my brother Jermall will be working my corner. I’m really pumped to have him in there with me as my chief second for the first time.
I don’t know what’s been happening with Charles Hatley’s team. But we’re here and we’re not going anywhere. I’ll never run from anybody.
This is one of the best camps I’ve had in my life. I had some training in Los Angeles and then in Dallas with Derrick James. We’ve stepped it up in training working every day with Errol Spence.
My brother and I aren’t getting the respect we deserve in this game. We’re still trying to prove a point and it’ll start en sábado with this fight.
This is the strongest and the fastest I’ve ever been. Hatley’s going to do what he’s got to do. We’ve got our team and I’m happy that my team is in this position.
CHARLES HATLEY
There’s a new sheriff in town. I’m thankful to everyone who got me this opportunity and made this happen. Now it’s party time. I’ve been working for this fight my whole life, not just for months.
I’ve wanted Jermell for three years. There’s no other fight in boxing that I want more than this. We had a long camp and we never stopped working. I’m going to bring the best out of him and become the new champion.
There’s nothing he can do to stop me from leaving the ring with that belt. I know I have all the skills. We’ve worked hard and I believe I have what it takes to beat Charlo and take his belt home.
I’m going to give the fans a great show and give them something to remember. Once I clean Charlo off of the ground, I’ll get that respect.
AMANDA SERRANO
I’m extremely blessed to be in this position. I’m thankful to my whole team for getting me prepared and where I am right now. I trained really hard for this fight. Being a five-division world champion is a great accomplishment. I’m so ready for it.
We struggled a little bit for this fight because it was for history. I left it in the ring every day. I want to be known as one of the best female fighters and one of the best Puerto Rican fighters in the history of the sport.
I think our styles are going to match up well for the fans. I always want to leave the fans with something to talk about. Being in my hometown, it’s even more motivation to go put on a performance that everyone remembers.
I’m glad that Santana took the challenge. It’s going to be a great war as long as it lasts. I had a war with Yazmin Rivas in January but I’m planning on making this an easier and quicker this time around.
DAHIANA SANTANA
I know that I’m going against a really good fighter who is a four-division champion. I’ve been training very hard to win this bantamweight title.
I’ve trained very hard physically and mentally for this fight and I feel ready for a victory. I know that with the work we did in training, that I’ll be ready for anything Serrano brings into the ring.
I’m thankful to SHOWTIME for airing a women’s fight and en sábado we will give you a war at Barclays Center.
JOSE MIGUEL BORREGO
I’m very glad to have this opportunity. We’ve prepared very well and I know that me and my team are ready.
I originally prepared for one opponent and now I’m facing someone I’m very familiar with so I think I will still be able to put on an explosive performance.
JOHN DELPERDANG
I’m really happy to be a part of this fight. I’m coming to win and I’m coming for the knockout. I know that a win puts me on a different level.
Training camp has been incredible. We stayed ready this whole time and when the call came, we were ready to jump on it.
RICHARDSON HITCHINS
To be able to come back to the Barclays Center for a second time is an honor. Training camp was great and I’ve stayed in the gym. I’m ready to get back in there.
There was no bigger stage than the Olympics in my eyes. Without Andre Berto, I would not be standing here as a 2016 Olympian and in the position I’m in as a pro.
I hope everyone comes out for a great night. I’m going to put on a show and I know that all these other fighters are going to do the same.
Lou DiBella, El presidente de DiBella Entertainment
This is going to be another sensational show at Barclays Center. SHOWTIME is really on a roll and they just came out with another slate of great shows. I’m proud to work with them on this fight.
This main event doesn’t need a lot of hype. Two of the best guys in the division fighting to get in there with Keith Thurman and prove who the man is. Shawn almost succeeded against Keith in a fight he thought he won. Berto is a champion and there is no quit in him. This is going to be a war in the ring en sábado noche.
Barclays Center has become the capital of New York boxing and one of the best boxing venues in the country. That is not by accident, but by design. Brett Yormark is not only doing good fights, but a series of good fights. He’s making sure there is a constant flow of good boxing coming into the building. Brooklyn Boxing is something with a great deal of momentum and Sábado night is another great example of what Brooklyn Boxing is.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, VP ejecutivo & Gerente General, SHOWTIME Sports
This is another great Barclays Center event and another night of championship level boxing on SHOWTIME. That’s what we have been doing all year, that’s what Barclays Center does and that’s what Lou DiBella does.
Borrego and Delperdang are making their television debuts, which is a big milestone in their career. Amanda Serrano is fighting to make history. No one has done what she’s trying to do. Charles Hatley is fighting for a world title, which is something he’s spent his whole career trying to do. But Jermell Charlo is driven just as much. He’s spent his career getting here and he is driven to hold onto his title.
Berto and Porter have never been in a boring fight. They’re fighting to get back to the top of the mountain. There is plenty at stake. You may be tempted to overlook this card, but this will be one of the strongest cards of the year, and you shouldn’t miss it.

Rounding out the group of fights participating in Miércoles de workout were undefeated local prospects Julian Sosa y Richardson Hitchins, quién competirá en combates separados en sábado noche.
Esto es lo que los combatientes tenían que decir Miércoles from Gleason’s Gym:
OTRAS BERTO
This is what we work hard to get to. All the weeks that we put into training camp have been tremendous. As athletes, we spend a lot of time trying to fine tune our craft for a reason. We’re looking to see the harvest en sábado noche.
I really had a tremendous training camp. I tried to stay away from everything else as much as I can. I’m dialed-in right now.
You’re always going to have people with you and against you in this sport. Our job is to work hard and do the best we can in the ring and give the fans a great show.
My focus right now is on this fight night en sábado. Everything that comes after it will take care of itself. I just have to make sure all my energy is used towards getting this win.
There are a lot of great world champions out in camp with me and we all work hard and feed off of each other.
I’ve been ready waiting for the call for a big fight and this came together and I couldn’t be happier. Va a ser una gran noche.
I took a little bit from his fight with Keith [Thurman]. We’ve seen the tape and we’ll try to use it logically. We’re focused and ready to go to work.
SHAWN PORTER
The fans here are real. The energy is always great. There’s so much history in this gym and in this city. It’s always an honor to be a part of it.
We prepared for everything. Estamos preparados para 12 rondas. We’re prepared to throw the right punches to slow him down and knock him down. We’re prepared to outbox him or to be aggressive and take the fight to him.
“Esta es una pelea muy importante para mí. I’ve watched Berto since the amateurs and on into the pros. I’ve seen him do it all. I’ve seen the best of his career and the worst. I’m going to do what it takes to end up on the right side of this.
People have definitely seen a great deal of my talent in the last fight with Thurman. People know what I can do in the ring but I’m always working on taking it to another level.
I don’t feel pressure to make this an exciting fight. I love that people are looking forward to watching me fight. When I do what I do, people know that it’s going to be exciting. I never have to worry about that part.
I was at the Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia and I thought that it could have been me that night. But I’ve reminded myself that my time is coming and this is the first step towards that.
I’m going to let Keith Thurman know that I’m coming for him. I’m going to make sure that he knows that I want him. I’m going to do everything I can to get that fight after I get past this one.
Jermell Charlo
There are some things I have in my arsenal that the world hasn’t seen yet. I’m going to show everyone a little bit more than last time.
“Estoy listo para ir 12 rondas. Estoy muy entusiasmado con esta pelea. I’ve picked up a lot of things in training and I’m ready to shine.
I want to make a statement with a knockout, but if it doesn’t happen, I’m ready to do what I have to do. I can’t put too much pressure on myself, I just have to take care of business.
From growing up in the boxing world, I’ve had to slowly realize how big of a stage I have. I try to help out young fighters on how to get to this point.
Charles Hatley is a good fighter. He comes with pressure and he likes fighting. He’s got a good style and he can bob and weave and be slick.
I’m excited about fighting in Brooklyn for the first time. Everyone knows the fans in New York are great because they’re real and they know their stuff. I’m hoping to give them something to remember.
I’ve studied this sport a lot. My size is going to have a big effect on him. My size is going to wear on him as we get to the later rounds. I’ve experienced a lot of things in the world of boxing.
JULIAN SOSA
“El campo de entrenamiento fue muy bien. We added a few things to camp based off of the last fight. I felt like there were a few flaws that I needed to correct. We had extra strength and conditioning, more miles on the road and some sparring with more advanced competitors. I can’t wait until fight night.
Having guys like Richardson Hitchins and Jonathan Alonso in the gym with me is great. They’re hungry fighters just like me. It gives me motivation, but we’re also competing. We all want to do better than each other. I love the atmosphere.
Being able to perform at Barclays Center in my hometown in Brooklyn is really humbling. This is a great platform for me. All I can do to show my appreciation is train really hard and when fight night comes, I just have to shine.
RICHARDSON HITCHINS
My first fight was more than a dream come true. But I’m looking to steal the show every time I’m in the ring. This is going to be another special performance. Voy a montar un espectáculo.
“He tenido un gran campo de entrenamiento. I didn’t really take any time off after my last fight. Me siento fuerte. I’m grateful that my team has me busy and I’m ready to keep going.
It feels good to be fighting in front of my hometown fans once again. I love seeing everybody come out and support me. Va a ser una gran pelea en sábado noche.
I grew up with guys like Julian so having them in my professional camp is great. We’ve been doing this forever and just motivating each other to get better. We have fun every day in the gym.

Four-Division World Champion Amanda Serrano Seeks Record Fifth World Title Against Former World Champion Dahiana Santana in Vacant Bantamweight World Title Matchup Live on SHOWTIME EXTREME® Saturday, Abril 22

Más! Undefeated Super Lightweight Prospect Jose Miguel Borrego Battles California’s John Delperdang in SHOWTIME EXTREME Action Beginning at 7:30 p.m. Y/PT Live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn
BROOKLYN (Abril 19, 2017) – Four-time world champion Amanda “El trato real” Serrano will look for a record-setting fifth world title when she battles former world champion Dahiana Santana for the vacant WBO Bantamweight World Championship on Sábado, Abril 22 in the featured bout of SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME, presentado por Liga de Campeones de Boxeo, del Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXEO ™.
Televised coverage on SHOWTIME EXTREME begins at 7:30 p.m. Y/PT with an eight-round showdown between unbeaten 140-pound prospect Jose Miguel Borrego(11-0, 10 KOs) y de California John Delperdang (10-2, 9 KOs). Delperdang replaces Jonathan Alonso, who withdrew from the bout because of a rib injury. Coverage continues at 9:30 p.m. Y/6:30 p.m. PT por SHOWTIME® headlined by the WBC welterweight world title eliminator between Otros Berto y Shawn Porter.
Unbeaten top heavyweight contender Luis Ortiz was originally scheduled to faceDerric Rossy in an undercard attraction, but was forced to withdraw after injuring his hand in training.
The 28-year-old Serrano (31-1-1, 23 KOs) can become the first female and the first Puerto Rican fighter in history to win world titles in five weight classes. Standing in her way is the former featherweight champion Santana (35-8, 14 KOs) de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana.
I’m really excited about this fight because this is the first time I haven’t had to call someone out, Santana has been calling me out for some time,” dijo Serrano. “I’ve been in training since my last fight, just like I always am. I’m constantly learning and trying to improve and maintain my skills. Santana is the best female boxer from the Dominican Republic and she’s won fights all over the world. Al final, I think my pressure is going to be too much. I’m not planning on letting this fight go the distance.
I got the offer for this fight about a month and a half ago and I have been training hard ever since,” said Santana. “I’m a technical fighter, but I have different styles and I can adapt to my opponent. I know Amanda very well and I’ve seen her fight many times. I’m going to come and put on a great show and leave everything I have in the ring.
Las entradas para el evento en vivo, que es promovido por DiBella Entertainment, empieza en $50 (sin incluir cargos aplicables) y están a la venta. Las entradas pueden adquirirse en línea visitando www.ticketmaster.com, www.barclayscenter.com o llamando al 1-800-745-3000. Los boletos también están disponibles en la taquilla del American Express en el Barclays Center. Descuentos para grupos están disponibles llamando al 844-BKLYN-GP.
Criado en la sección Bushwick de Brooklyn, Serrano gravitated toward boxing from watching her older sister Cindy, también un luchador profesional. Ella recogió el deporte rápidamente, amasar una 9-1 récord durante una breve carrera amateur en la que ganó el título de los Guantes de Oro de Nueva York en 2008. The 28-year-old would go on to fight all over the world, apoderándose de su primer título mundial en 2011 cuando derrotó a Kimberly Connor para agarrar un cinturón súper pluma. En 2014, se fue a Argentina y derrotó a María Elena Maderna para convertirse en campeona mundial de peso ligero. Her world title climb continued in 2016 as she stopped Olivia Gerula in the first round to capture her featherweight championship and followed that up with a victory over Alexandra Lazar to add a super bantamweight title to her collection. She most recently put on a show at Barclays Center in January when she defeated two-division champion Yazmin Rivas by unanimous decision.
Un profesional desde 2002, Santana won a world title in 2011 with a victory over Stacey Reile before defending her belt successfully three times. She picked up an interim featherweight title in 2014 to cap a seven-fight win streak that spanned from 2011 a 2014. En 2016 she traveled to Finland to challenge Eva Wahlstrom for her super featherweight title, ultimately losing a decision. Santana has fought in six countries throughout her career and will be making her second U.S. start on April 22.
Con tan sólo 19 años de edad, Borrego will look to establish himself as a prospect on the path toward stardom when he takes on the toughest opponent of his career on Abril 22. Hailing from Aguascalientes, Mexico Borrego turned pro in 2015 after an amateur career that included a gold medal at the 2013 Mexican National Olympiad. He racked up three victories before a busy 2016 saw him score seven knockout victories, including his last outing, a stoppage of Tomas Mendez in round one. Borrego had previously trained at Freddie Roach’s gym when training in the U.S., but held training camp up in the Bronx leading up to Abril 22.
Fighting out of Escondido, California, Delperdang most recently went 12-rounds with former title challenger Hank Lundy after winning his previous four fights, incluyendo tres por nocaut. The 24-year-old defeated previously unbeaten Oscar Mejia last September and his only other defeat came via a narrow majority decision to then unbeaten Rickey Edwards. Después se convirtió en profesional en 2014, Delperdang won his first six pro bouts, todas por nocaut.
