PARK CITY, 堪萨斯州 (八月 10, 2017) – KO Night Boxing LLC and Hartman Arena hosted a private media luncheon today to announce the return of 2016 奥运会铜牌得主 尼科·埃尔南德斯 for his third professional fight on 星期六, 九月 23, 领衔 “KO拳击之夜: Step Up!” 在哈特曼竞技场帕克城, 堪萨斯州.

“KO拳击之夜: Step Up!” 是的KO晚上拳击LLC的介绍。, 与哈特曼竞技场协会, Mort’s Cigar Bar and Jimmy Egg.

Wichita-native Hernandez (2-0, 2 科斯) will face the stiffest test of his young pro career, Mexican flyweight 旧金山 “战士” Lapizco (8-5, 2 科斯), 在六轮主赛事中.

“I’m very fortunate that my promoter, John Andersen(KO拳击之夜), has worked hard to make my third pro fight at home,” 埃尔南德斯说，. “I’m very excited to be able to show boxing at its best.

“My opponent has never been stopped. 明显, 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 25^日, Hernandez knocked out 帕特里克·古铁雷斯 在第四轮, and this past June 17^日 at Hartman Arena, the 21-year-old U.S. Olympian stopped previously undefeated 何塞·罗德里格斯 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, 加利福尼亚州. His last fight was this past January at home in Sinaloa, 墨西哥, 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 23^RD 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 23^RD 演出, we’ll announce his final fight of 2017. We need people to turnout September 23^RD at Hartman Arena to continue promoting Nico at home.”
