Undefeated Flyweight Jonathan Gonzalez will fight former world champion Giovanni Segura on Augusta 17th in Carolina, Puerto Rico according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
“Segura caused a big hurt in Puerto Rico when he beat — two times — our champion, Ivan Calderon, and I want to heal those hurts, no matter if [it] is a KO or a decision win,” Gonzalez said. “I am going to win and after this bout become a world champion.”
“Segura is a tough fighter, but we have our plans to face him,” Gonzalez said. “The people said [will I] be ready for the pressure Segura will [apply], but I ask Segura if he is going to be ready for my pressure.”
“Now we have a more international card with fighters from Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico, United States and Puerto Rico,” promoter Ivan Rivera of PR Best Boxing Promotion said. “Felix Diaz and Yudel Jhonson, two great prospects who were good amateur fighters for their countries, will fight for their first time in Puerto Rico.”
