| Chester, PA (April 22, 2015)–This Saturday malam, April 25, pulangan tinju untuk Harrahs Philadelphia dengan kad hebat dipromosikan oleh Promosi King dan XFE.
Sekiranya utama, tanpa ditewaskan ringan Omar Douglas will see action in an six-round bout when he takes on 70-fight veteran Jose Angel Beranza (36-32-2, 28 Ini KO) of Tepito, Mexico.
Douglas daripada Wilmington, Delaware mempunyai rekod 13-0 dengan sepuluh KO. He turned pro on May 27, 2011 dengan kemenangan hilang kelayakan pusingan 3 ke atas Eric Dewan.
Douglas memenangi gelaran Naba Amerika Syarikat Super Featherweight dengan pemberhentian 2 musim lebih Jean Javier Soto. Douglas also has a quality win with a 8-round unanimous decision over Jesse Carradine (8-2-2). Dalam pertarungan terakhir, Douglas menjaringkan satu pemberhentian pusingan pertama letupan lebih Osnel Charles pada Disember 5, 2014 di Harrahs Philadelphia.
“Kem latihan telah besar. I started preparing for this fight as soon as the last fight was over. I have been sparring with the best fighters in the area. When I started my camp, I was only seven pounds over the contract weight,”said Douglas.
Douglas knows very little about Ortiz.
“I really only know that he is from Mexico and he has a pretty decent record.”
This will be the first time that Douglas headlines in his home region and he not about to have any of the distractions to go with that.
“I take it in stride. I consider it just another day at the office. The only difference is that I am closing the show.”
This being his 14th pro fight, Douglas is now rounding into a situation where he knows what he has to do to continue to get better.
“I have been very responsible with my defense. I always knew I had a pro style. It was my late trainer Lewis Lum who told me I was better suited to become a professional world champion than an Olympic gold medal winner.”
Douglas sees himself continuing to grow and fighting on more high profile platforms as the year progresses.
“I see myself on bigger cards. I am with Al Haymon so to fight on a PBC card is a goal for the year. By the end of the year, I should be considered a hot prospect and I should get in three or four more fights that should put my name out more.”
Douglas finished by saying, “Pada April 25, expect a show. I will be smart and put everything together. I train for every opponent like they are the best. Once it all comes together it will be lights out!!”
