AGUASCALIENTES, MX (Avril 16, 2018) – Opponents have been announced for Humberto “Tito” Velazco (19-1-1, 13 KOs) et Damien “Sucre” Vazquez (13-0, 7 KOs), who are both scheduled to fight on April 28, 2018 à Aguascalientes, MX, sur “Feria de Campeones” carte, promue par Promotions de sucre.
Velazco, who hails from Aguascalientes, will face Columbian power puncher, Davis Caceres(25-8, 20 KOs), in a 10-round main event bout, for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight title. Vazquez, de Las Vegas, Nevada, will battle Venezuela’s Luis Golindano (9-0, 6 KOs), for the WBC Jr. Bantamweight Youth World title, in a 10-round co-main event clash.
In his last fight on the undercard of Victor Ortiz vs. Devon Alexander, Velazco scored an impressive 4e-round knockout over, Thomas Williams Jr. (20-4, 14KOs), who was ranked top ten in the world one time. Velazco’s powerful straight left to the head of Williams ended the bout, and the punch was the knockout of the night. Pour ce combat, Velazco, who is currently ranked WBC #17 à mi-lourds, will go down to super middleweight against Caceres.
“Although my last fight was at light-heavyweight, I’ll be campaigning at super-middleweight when I face Caceres,” said Velazco, qui est géré par Greg Hannley de Prince Ranch de boxe. “I’m very thankful to Sugar Promotions and the WBC for letting me fight for the vacant Silver super-middleweight title. Caceres is a big puncher, donc je prends ce combat très au sérieux. But make no mistake about it, Je vais pour les huitièmes de finale. I’m very confident that in the very near future, I’ll be knocking on the doorstep of a world championship bout.”
The winner of Velazco vs. Caceres, will face the winner of Dmitry Chudinov vs. Azizbek Abdugofurov. That winner, will be one step closer to fighting for the WBC super-middleweight title against David Benavidez.
Damien Vazquez, âge 20, will be looking to make a statement against Luis Golindano.
Against Miguel Lizardo dans son dernier combat, Vazquez scored a 5e ronde TKO. Damien, who is the younger brother of former two-time world champion Israel Vazquez, has been training in Aguascalientes for the last two weeks.
“I wanted to host camp in Aguascalientes since I’m going to be promoting a lot of fights out here,” said Damien Vazquez, dont le père Oscar Vazquez runs his promotional company, Promotions de sucre. “My goal is to win impressively against Golindano and let everyone in my division know that I’m coming.”
