The boxing ring at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio,
Calif. will be rocking on Friday, May 6, as some of the
fight game’s hardest hitters, including Librado Andrade,
Aaron Pryor Jr., Enrique Ornelas, Deontay Wilder and Randy
Caballero, return to action on a stacked card that kicks off
May with a bang.
In the 10-round light heavyweight main event of the
TeleFutura’s “Sólo Boxeo Tecate” broadcast, La Habra’s
three-time world title challenger Librado Andrade (29-3, 22
KO’s) returns to the Southern California-area to battle
talented Aaron Pryor Jr. (15-3, 11 KO’s) of Cincinnati.
Pryor’s father, the legendary Aaron Pryor Sr., will be in
attendance cheering on his son.
Andrade’s brother and ultra-exciting contender Enrique
Ornelas (30-7, 20 KO’s) will also get a hometown welcome
when he squares off with Mexicali’s Hector Hernandez
(10-3-2, 4 KO’s) in an eight round light heavyweight bout.
A six round featherweight bout will see Coachella rising
star Randy Caballero (9-0, 5 KO’s) taking on Miami’s Francis
Ruiz (9-4, 4 KO’s). Plus, top heavyweight prospect and 2008
U.S. Olympic Bronze Medalist Deontay “The Bronze Bomber”
Wilder (15-0, 15 KO’s) of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, plans on
keeping his amazing knockout streak intact when he faces New
York’s Regino Pena (6-6, 1 KO) in a six round battle.
In undercard action, a host of Coachella Valley-area natives
will be looking to please their hometown fight fans, with
Indio’s own Alfredo Madrigal (1-0) taking on debuting Palm
Springs native Mario Villareal in a four round junior
featherweight bout and Palm Springs’ Hugo Ramos (3-8-2, 1
KO) squaring off against San Bernardino’s Juan Sandoval
(2-6-1, 2 KO’s) in a four round featherweight fight.
Andrade vs. Pryor Jr. is presented by Golden Boy Promotions
in association with DiBella Entertainment and sponsored by
Cerveza Tecate and DeWalt Tools. Doors open at 6:00pm PT on
fight night and the first bell rings at 7:00pm PT. The
