Félix Verdejo and ‘Pitufo’ Díaz Promise Big Wins Feb. 3 in Puerto Rico
The Unbetaen Puerto Rican Contenders Will Co-Headline the Feb.3 ‘Solo Boxeo‘ Card That Will Take Place at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, P.R.
SAN JUAN, P.R. (January 11, 2016) – Unbeaten Puerto Rican contenders Félix ‘El Diamante’ Verdejo and Christopher ‘Pitufo’ Díaz assured that they will give their fans a big win on the February 3 card ‘Solo Boxeo’ card that will take place at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in the capital of ‘The Island of Enchantment’.
Verdejo (22-0, 15 KO’s), who will return to the ring after recovering completely from the abrasions he suffered last August during a motorcycle accident, will battle against Nicaragua’s Oliver Flores (27-2-2, 17 KO’s) and will defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) Latino lightweight title for the sixth time. Against Flores, ‘El Diamante’ will try to prove that he is more than ready to challenge WBO lightweight world champion, Terry Flanagan.
“This is just the beginning. Now I’m more focused and hungry. I want to get a big win and you will see that on February 3” said Verdejo on his turn at the podium.
In the co-main event, Díaz (19-0, 11 KO’s) will face Efrain Esquivias (17-5-1, 10 KO’s). In 2016, Díaz achieved important victories that positioned him as one of the top young contenders in the division and also one of the most exciting featherweights.
“On February 3 you can expect a big fight from me, from my brother Felix Verdejo and from Team Diamante. I’m going to keep developing as a fighter to become a champion and bring another title to my Island,” guaranteed ‘Pitufo’.
