Hot Prospect Felix Verdejo will make his 2015 debut on April 25 in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico when he takes on Marco Antonio Lopez that will headline an Uni Mas card according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
“Thanks to God I feel fully recovered from the injury on my left hand,” Verdejo said Monday. “The rest came in handy, but the vacations are over. Despite the rest, I kept running in the mornings. I’m ready to return to the gym to prepare and get ready to bring that title to my people.”
Said Ricky Marquez, Verdejo’s manager and trainer, “I wanted to make sure that the injury that Felix suffered healed 100 percent for his first 10-round bout. I’m sure ‘El Diamante’ will be ready to shine and conquer that title on April 25.”
“For me there is nothing better than representing Puerto Rico, honoring my flag and bringing joy to my island,” Verdejo said. “I’m more than happy and thankful with Top Rank for the opportunity of fighting for a title in front of my people. I am very grateful [to] the fans on the island for the unconditional support they have always given me, and that’s why I wanted to give them my first title fight.”
