PARK CITY, Kansas (Ogos 10, 2017) –
KO Night Boxing LLC and Hartman Arena hosted a private media luncheon today to announce the return of 2016 Pemenang pingat gangsa Olimpik
Nico Hernandez for his third professional fight on Sabtu, September 23, headlining “KO Boxing Night:
Step Up!” di Hartman Arena di Park City, Kansas.
“KO Boxing Night: Step Up!” ialah penyampaian KO Boxing Night LLC., dalam persatuan dengan Hartman Arena, Mort’s Cigar Bar and Jimmy Egg.
Hernandez yang berasal dari Wichita (2-0, 2 KOs) will face the stiffest test of his young pro career, Mexican flyweight Francisco “Pahlawan” Lapizco (8-5, 2 KOs), dalam acara utama pusingan enam.
“I’m very fortunate that my promoter, John Andersen(KO Boxing Night), has worked hard to make my third pro fight at home,” Hernandez berkata. “I’m very excited to be able to show boxing at its best.
“My opponent has never been stopped. Jelas, 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.”
Dalam debut profesionalnya pada Mac 25ke-, Hernandez knocked out Patrick Gutierrez pada pusingan keempat, and this past June 17ke- at Hartman Arena, the 21-year-old U.S. Olympian stopped previously undefeated Jose Rodriguez in the third round of the main event.
Lapizco, 22, has already defeated an unbeaten opponent, Cesar Sustaita (3-0), three years ago at Ontario, California. His last fight was this past January at home in Sinaloa, Mexico, in which Lapizco won a six-round unanimous decision over Jairo Miranda.
“This fight is a step up for Nico against a proven opponent who goes rounds,” Andersen noted. “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 23rd 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. After the September 23rd persembahan, we’ll announce his final fight of 2017. We need people to turnout September 23rd at Hartman Arena to continue promoting Nico at home.”
