the level. Basically, this fight is everything I have worked
for, and I don't want all my hard work to go to waste. The
time is now for me to take my career to new heights.”

bring it, and I know what he has to offer, but he will have
to contend with me being in-shape for all eight-rounds. I am
taking this fight very seriously as I’ve been out of the
ring for almost two years. I have invested into this camp
with a lot of dedication and hard work. All the sparring and
road work is finally done and I’m ready for battle.”

"I am glad to have made my U.S. debut with Thompson Boxing

States to fight Torres. Thompson Boxing Promotions is giving
me a platform to display my talents and I am very excited."
