Утре night at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico
(L-R) — Феликс Вердехо (135 паунда.) &
Oliver Flores (134 паунда.)

Сан Хуан, Puerto Rico (Февруари 2, 2017) – Live underdog Oliver “Trombita” Цветя has prepared to shock the boxing world утре нощ (Петък, Февруари. 3), albeit it in hostile territory. challenging undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) Latino lightweight champion Felix “El Diamente” Verdejo in the 10-round main event at Robrerto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

A rising star in a universarlly recognized boxing hotbed, Verdejo (22-0, 15 Нокаута) represented Puerto Rico in the 2012 Олимпиада, losing in the quarterfinals to two-time Olympic gold medalist Васил Ломаченко, 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 Тери Фланаган. 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 Нокаута), обаче, 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,” Цветя’ промотор Rob Diaz (Havoc Boxing) каза. “He hadn’t fought for more than a year because several fights we lined up fell through. Така, 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 утре 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 утрешния битка.”
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) в Токио, getting stopped in the third round.
Цветя’ 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.
Цветя (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) супер шампион в категория перо. He has proven to be a dangerous, upset-minded opponent having defeated previously unbeaten boxers Маркос Mojica (12-0-2), by way of unanimous decision, и 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.
