Wichita natif Hernandez (2-0, 2 KOs) will face the stiffest test of his young pro career, Mexican flyweight Francisco “Guerrier” Lapizco (8-5, 2 KOs), dans l'événement principal de six rondes.
“I’m very fortunate that my promoter, John Andersen(KO Night Boxing), has worked hard to make my third pro fight at home,” Hernandez a déclaré. “I’m very excited to be able to show boxing at its best.
“My opponent has never been stopped. Évidemment, he has more professional experience than me, and I understand he likes putting pressure on his opponent. I want to be the first to stop this guy! I also want the boxing world to know I’m coming for belts. Champions should get ready for Nico Hernandez.”
Dans ses débuts professionnels sur Mars 25e, Hernandez knocked out Patrick Gutierrez dans le quatrième tour, and this past June 17e at Hartman Arena, the 21-year-old U.S. Olympian stopped previously undefeated Jose Rodriguez in the third round of the main event.

“This fight is a step up for Nico against a proven opponent who goes rounds,” Andersen a noté. “He has already upset an undefeated fighter. It’s time for Nico to step up, as well as the city of Wichita, in terms of supporting him. This is a major event on September 23e that will bring national attention, not only for Nico, but to Wichita.
“We have an opportunity to put Nico, all of Kansas, on the national map in boxing. We have a multi-fight deal to showcase Nico at Hartman Arena.
