FRANCISCO ‘CHIASANTANA TO MAKE PBC DEBUT


WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER ADDED TO THE TELEVISED UNDERCARD OF PORTER VS. UGASLIVE ON FOXMARCH 9TH



Ventura, Каліфорнія: Лютага 18, 2019


Francisco ‘Chia’ Сантана (25-6-1, 12 КО) зробіць яго PBC debut on the televised undercard of the WBC Welterweight World Championship Fight паміж Шон Портер і Йорденис Агас жыць на Ліса на March 9th at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Каліфорнія.


Santana will face Arizona’s Абель Рамас (23-3-2, 18 КО) in what promises to be an action packed battle between two aggressive fighters both coming off victories, with the winner in line to face an opponent from PBC’s deep welterweight stable later this year.


Сантана, who is coming off one of the biggest upsets of 2018 калі ён перамог Алімпійскі чэмпіён and world title challenger, Фелікс Дыяс, is currently ranked #14 у WBC.


It’s crazy how much can change in a year.explains, Сантана.


Last year at this time I was coming off back to back controversial losses that I felt I had won. My promoter had dropped me. I couldn’t find a fight. I had been out of the ring for a year. It looked like my career was over. I actually landed the Diaz fight because a friend entered me in an online contest to be an alternate fighter for a WBC tournament. The fans voted me in and when a fighter was injured, I was bumped up into the main tournament. I knew no one was giving me a chance to beat Diaz who was the favorite to win the whole tournament but when I’m overlooked that’s when I’m the most dangerous. The win landed me in the WBC’s Top 15 rankings allowing me to now be able to fight for their world title. I believe I am only one or two fights away from that opportunity and no one is going to stand in my way.


Having worked with several promoters throughout his 14 год прафесійнай кар'еры, Santana is happy to be featured on a major Прэм'ер Бокс чэмпіёнаў падзея.


The amount of world class welterweights that PBC has is unreal, у тым ліку 4 з 5 current world champions. It’s literally a who’s who of the division. I’m beyond excited to be able to make my PBC debut on Fox in primetime on the undercard of the WBC welterweight title fight. I have nothing but respect for a fellow hard working fighter like Ramos and I expect a war but I intend to make a statement on March 9th and come out victorious.


Сантана, a Santa Barbara native who lives and trains in Ventura, California atKnuckleHeadz Boxing Gym with trainer, Іосіф “HossJanik, is a favorite amongst hardcore boxing fans for his relentless in ring style and his fight anyone, ўсюды, anytime attitude that has seen him give multiple future world champions all they could handle. У дадатак, he’s widely considered one of the friendliest fighters in the entire sport.


I follow the golden rule. Treat others how you want to be treated. I’m a boxer but I’m a also massive boxing fan. Nothing is better than going to the fights and talking boxing with other fans. I’m no different than them. I wake up and run. I go to work all day with an hour commute back and forth. I hit the gym at night. I spend what little time I have left with my family. Then I go to sleep exhausted. I haven’t caught many breaks in this sport but I still haven’t given up on my dream of being a world champion. In life or in boxing, my motto is train, барацьба, перамога. I think that’s something everyone can relate to.
FRANCISCO ‘CHIASANTANA CAREER HIGHLIGHTS


Former WBA International Champion
Has wins over 4 former world champions and challengers
Has a draw against world title challenger, Джуліян Уільямс
Has gone the distance with world champions like Jermell Charlo
Has taken the “O” ад 3 different prospects including Eddie Gomez
