غدا night at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, بويرتو ريكو
(L-R) — فيليكس فيرديجو (135 رطلا.) &
Oliver Flores (134 رطلا.)

SAN JUAN, بويرتو ريكو (فبراير 2, 2017) – Live underdog Oliver “Trombita” الزهور has prepared to shock the boxing world غدا ليل (الجمعة, فبراير. 3), albeit it in hostile territory. challenging undefeated World Boxing Organization (المنظمة العالمية للملاكمة) Latino lightweight champion فيليكس “El Diamente” Verdejo in the 10-round main event at Robrerto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, بويرتو ريكو.

A rising star in a universarlly recognized boxing hotbed, Verdejo (22-0, 15 كوس) represented Puerto Rico in the 2012 الألعاب الأولمبية, losing in the quarterfinals to two-time Olympic gold medalist فاسيل لوماتشينكو, 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 تيري فلاناغان. He’s also scheduled to fight 10 يونيو 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 كوس), لكن, 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,” الزهور’ متعهد Rob Diaz (Havoc Boxing) قال. “He hadn’t fought for more than a year because several fights we lined up fell through. هكذا, 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 غدا 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 الغد القتال.”
In his last fight on New Year’s Eve of 2015, Flores unsuccessfully challenged then-World Boxing Association (رابطة الملاكمة العالمية) Super world super featherweight champion تاكاشي أوشياما (23-0-1) في طوكيو, getting stopped in the third round.
الزهور’ 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.
الزهور (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 (اتحاد الملاكمة العالمي) بطل وزن الريشة السوبر. He has proven to be a dangerous, upset-minded opponent having defeated previously unbeaten boxers ماركوس موجيكا (12-0-2), by way of unanimous decision, و 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.
