PHOENIX — November 4, 2013 — Iron Boy Promotions reaffirms its commitment to quality boxing promotions and the growth of Arizona boxing in its tenth show to take place at Phoenix’s Celebrity Theatre on Saturday, November 16th. Phoenix fight fans, and boxing fans worldwide will witness yet another night of high-powered, exciting, quality boxing. The World Boxing Council returns to Phoenix to present the WBC USNBC Light Welterweight title bout. Phoenix’ Juan Garcia (18-3, 7KO) will compete in the main event for this title. Garcia is coming off of his last showing on Iron Boy 7, where he knocked out his opponent in a spectacular second round finish.
In the co-main event, Victor “El Nino” Castro (10-0, 5KO) looks to remain undefeated as he returns to the ring for the first time since his unanimous decision victory over Marcos Herrera in July. In a special featured bout, former WBO Heavyweight Champion Siarhei “White Wolf” Liakhovich (25-6, 16KO) makes his Arizona debut.
Also on the card, Carlos “The Chosen One” Castro (5-0, 2KO) faces Las Vegas’ Rodrigo Aranda (8-18-2, 2KO). Castro barely broke a sweat during September’s Iron Boy 9 card, when he knocked out Miguel Marti inside of 2 minutes into the first round. Francisco “Panchito” De Vaca (3-0, 3KO) also returns to the ring after his impressive showing versus Manuel Galaviz, also on Iron Boy 9. Vaca knocked out Galaviz in the first round. Both Castro and Vaca are again preparing for this card with famed trainer Roberto Alcazar, who is best known for having been Oscar De La Hoya’s trainer.
Standout amateurs Eros Correa and Alexis Zazueta will make their long-anticipated debuts on the November 16th card. Both fighters are signed with Cameron Dunkin, who is widely considered one of the top managers in the sport.
These bouts will all be streamed online at www.iron-boy.com, along with showings from Edgar Brito, Beto Carbajal, Wilbert Lopez, Joe Martell and Mario Esparza. “We have streamed the past two shows, and it has really been a way to get the word out about some of the amazing talent we have here in Arizona,” said Iron Boy Promotions’ president Roberto Vargas. “We are offering the live broadcast for free this time, so that out of town families and fans of these fighters have an opportunity to see them fight. We hope to help these young boxers in the National and International spotlight.”
The Official Press Conference, Weigh-in and After Parties will all take place at Marisocos Vuelve a la Vida, located at 16th Street & Roosevelt in Phoenix.
