Park City, קאַנסאַס (ויגוסט 10, 2017) –
KO Night Boxing LLC and Hartman Arena hosted a private media luncheon today to announce the return of 2016
Olympic bronze medalist ניקאָ הערנאַנדעז for his third professional fight on שבת, סעפּטעמבער 23, העאַדלינינג “קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג:
Step Up!” ביי האַרטמאַן אַרענאַ אין פּאַרק סיטי, קאַנסאַס.
“קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג: Step Up!” איז אַ פּרעזענטירונג פון קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג ללק., אין פאַרבאַנד מיט האַרטמאַן אַרענאַ, Mort’s Cigar Bar and Jimmy Egg.
Wichita-native Hernandez (2-0, 2 קאָס) will face the stiffest test of his young pro career, Mexican flyweight פֿראַנסיסקאָ “וואַרריאָר” Lapizco (8-5, 2 קאָס), in the six-round main event.
“I’m very fortunate that my promoter, John Andersen(קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג), has worked hard to make my third pro fight at home,” Hernandez said. “I’m very excited to be able to show boxing at its best.
“My opponent has never been stopped. דאָך, 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.”
In his professional debut on March 25טה, Hernandez knocked out Patrick Gutierrez אין דער פערט קייַלעכיק, and this past June 17טה 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, קאַליפאָרניאַ. His last fight was this past January at home in Sinaloa, מעקסיקא, 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 23רד 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 23רד ווייַזן, we’ll announce his final fight of 2017. We need people to turnout September 23רד at Hartman Arena to continue promoting Nico at home.”
