Oliver Flores Determined To
Dethrone WBA
Super Featherweight Champ Takashi Uchiyama
WBA #7 rated super-featherweight contender, Oliver Flores
(27-1-2, 17 KOS), is eager to show the world he is capable
of dethroning WBA world champion Takashi Uchiyama (23-0-1,
19 KOs). The championship fight between Uchiyama and Flores
is set to take place on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2015 at
the Ota-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.
Promoted by Havoc Boxing Promotions, Flores is currently
riding a 4-fight winning streak, with his last fight ending
by way of knockout. With the WBA super-featherweight world
title on the line, Flores feels he's destined to bring home
the title to his countrymen of Nicaragua.
"I've worked hard my whole life with the goal of becoming a
world champion someday," said Oliver Flores. "That time is
now just a few weeks away. I'm very determined to show the
boxing world and everyone in the super-featherweight
division that I've arrived. Uchiyama is the champion and
he's fighting in his backyard, which is going to be a
difficult task to for me to come out victorious. But I've
always believed that I would be a world champion and that
reality will come true on December 31st."
"We are thrilled to be representing another world champion
in a high profile fight with Oliver Flores challenging
Takashi Uchiyama for the WBA super-featherweight world
title," said Rob Diaz of Havoc Boxing. "Flores is in great
shape and we believe he has all the tools to come out
victorious."
