Top Rank has signed featherweight title challenger Geneis Servania to a promotional contract, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
This is a dream come true,” Servania said of the deal. “I am very happy because Top Rank is the No. 1 promoter in the world. It is such an honor to join Top Rank, led by Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who began his career with ‘The Greatest’ — Muhammad Ali. I am very grateful and excited to be a part of the Top Rank/ESPN team. Especially now with the recent launch of ESPN 5 (sports network) in the Philippines, this is wonderful timing.”
“We used him previously on a show in Macau but his performance in a close but losing effort to Oscar Valdez shows you that he can rumble with anybody,” Moretti said. “Couple that with his ability to campaign at both junior featherweight and featherweight, and that makes him a valuable fighter to add to our stable.”
