明天 night at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, 波多黎各
(L-R) — Felix Verdejo (135 磅。) &
Oliver Flores (134 磅。)

聖胡安, 波多黎各 (二月 2, 2017) – Live underdog Oliver “Trombita” 花卉 has prepared to shock the boxing world 明天 夜晚 (星期五, 二月. 3), albeit it in hostile territory. challenging undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) Latino lightweight champion 菲利克斯 “El Diamente” Verdejo in the 10-round main event at Robrerto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, 波多黎各.

A rising star in a universarlly recognized boxing hotbed, Verdejo (22-0, 15 科斯) represented Puerto Rico in the 2012 奧運會, losing in the quarterfinals to two-time Olympic gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko, who is the reigning WBO super feathereight world champion. The 23-year-old will be fighting in front of a passionate hometown crowd in San Jose, risking his WBO No. 1 contender status and impending world title shot against current champion 特里·弗拉納根（Terry Flanagan）. He’s also scheduled to fight June 10th on Top Rank’s major Puerto Rican Day card at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden.
Havoc Boxing-promoted Flores (27-2-2, 17 科斯), 然而, is looking forward to spoiling Verdejo’s party and bringing joy back to his native Nicaragua.
“We accepted this challenge because we believe Oliver will rise to the occasion,” 花卉’ 促進者 Rob Diaz (Havoc Boxing) 說. “He hadn’t fought for more than a year because several fights we lined up fell through. 所以, we decided to move him up to lightweight to challenge a great prospect like Verdejo. This is a tremendous opportunity for Oliver. He’s not concerned about fighting Verdejo in Puerto Rico. Oliver has effectively fought on the road throughout his career because he’s a true warrior. He has a real chance to shock the boxing world 明天 night and we’re confident that he will bring his best into the ring. Oliver is one of the best kept secrets in boxing but fans all over the world will know his name after 明天的 fight.”
In his last fight on New Year’s Eve of 2015, Flores unsuccessfully challenged then-World Boxing Association (WBA) Super world super featherweight champion Takashi Uchiyama (23-0-1) 在東京, getting stopped in the third round.
花卉’ only other pro loss was in 2012 to current WBC super featherweight world champion Miguel Berchelt, while his two draws were both on the road in Mexico and Costa Rica.
花卉 (pictured to right on the scale) is a past WBA Fedebol lightweight title holder, as well as former World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX and International Boxing Federation (IBF) 超羽量級冠軍. He has proven to be a dangerous, upset-minded opponent having defeated previously unbeaten boxers 馬科斯Mojica (12-0-2), by way of unanimous decision, 和 Gabriel Dorado (9-0) via a first-round knockout.
A victory over Verdejo should position Flores for another world title shot in the not too distant future.
