ראָק נאַציאָן ספּאָרט’ Hooker (22-0-3, 16 קאָס) will defend his North American Boxing Organization (NABO) junior welterweight against title challenger Abdiel “Mortero” ראַמירעז (23-1-1, 21 קאָס) אין די 10-קייַלעכיק הויפּט געשעעניש.
Fighting out of Dallas,
Hooker is world rated at No. 2 דורך די וועלט באָקסינג אָרגאַניזירונג (וובאָ), און ניט קיין. 4
by the International Boxing Federation (יבף).
The 27-year-old Hooker was a decorated amateur boxer in Texas,
finishing with a 97-7 (67 קאָס) רעקאָרד,
who turned pro in 2011.
Hooker first captured the vacant NABO title in 2015, at home in Dallas, with a six-round technical knockout of previously unbeaten Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1). זינט, Hooker has made three successful title defenses against Ghislain Maduma (17-1) at the famed Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17, 2015, Ty Barnett (23-5-1) at Oracle Arena on August 6, 2016; and in a 10-round draw with former World Boxing Association (וובאַ) וועלט טשאַמפּיאָן דאַרלייס פּערעז (33-2-1) on undercard of Sergey Kovalev vs. אַנדרע קעסטקינד “Pound-For-Pound” on Mov. 19 אין לאַס וועגאַס.
In his most recent fight on פעברואר. 25 אין מעקסיקא, Hooker cruised to a dominant 10-round decision victory over former IBF World Champion Cristobal קרוז (41-20-4).
ראַמירעז, 25, is a former FECOMBOX Lightweight Champion, fighting out of Ciudad Juarez, מעקסיקא. ראַמירעז, who is riding a nine-fight win streak, will be fighting outside of his native Mexico for the first time against Hooker.
The 10-round co-feature for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) featherweight crown has been in the works for a while and it could very well steal the show as former USBA champion דניאל “Twitch” פראַנקאָ נעמט אויף Jose Haro.
The 25-year-old Franco (15-1-3, 10 קאָס), fighting out of Rancho Cucamonga, קאַליפאָרניאַ, started boxing at the age of eight, אַמאַסינג אַ ליבהאָבער רעקאָרד פון 67-15, highlighted by gold-medal performances at the 2006 Oxnard PAL Championships and 2017 California State Silver Gloves Championships.
Fighting under the Roc Nation Sports banner, Franco captured the vacant USBA featherweight title last November, knocking out previously unbeaten Derrick Murray (13-0-1) in four rounds. Franco was stopped in his last fight by veteran Christopher Martin (29-8-3) in the third round of their non-title fight in Los Angeles on מאַרץ 23. Franco is currently rated No. 5 by the USBA and No. 11 by the NABO.
USBA No. 14-rated Haro (13-1-1, 7 קאָס), who is a well-kept secret outside of West Jordan, Utah, is an all-action fighter. The 29-year-old has won his last five fights, unbeaten in in his last six with a draw, since suffering his only loss to highly-touted prospect Toka Kahn Clary (11-0) by way of a six-round decision in 2014.
