JOSEPH "JO JO" DIAZ VS. RAUL HIDALGO TO REPLACE ANTONIO TARVER VS. JOHNATHON BANKS AS MAIN EVENT IN MONDAY, SEPT. 29 GOLDEN BOY LIVE! EVENT DUE TO TARVER INJURY

  


 

Hidalgo, Texas (Sept. 18) - The recently announced junior featherweight bout between Southern California favorite Joseph "Jo Jo" Diaz and Mexican warrior Raul Hidalgo has been elevated from the co-main event to the main event for the Monday, Sept. 29 Golden Boy Live! fight night from the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas due to an injury suffered by former light heavyweight world champion Antonio Tarver.

 
Tarver, who was scheduled to face Johnathon Banks in a 10-round heavyweight bout on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes, injured his thumb during training camp. "The injury actually happened two and a half weeks ago and I've been trying my hardest to work through it. Finally my doctor ordered an X-ray and we found out it was a fracture," Tarver said of his injury.

 
Tarver added, "I'm very disappointed I won't get to face Johnathon Banks, but hopefully we will be able to reschedule this fight with him for a later date. I was ready to make a statement with this fight, and I'll be back as soon as I can." Tarver still plans to be in Texas, however, to witness his son Antonio Jr.'s professional debut.

 
The remainder of the televised portion of the card will feature a co-main event between New Mexican junior welterweight Fidel "The Atrisco Kid" Maldonado Jr. (18-2, 15 KOs) and an opponent to be determined, as well as junior welterweight Ricardo "Dinamita" Alvarez (23-3, 13 KOs) in the televised opener against an opponent to be determined.

 
"The show must go on," said Oscar De La Hoya, founder and president of Golden Boy Promotions. "The loss of the Tarver vs. Banks fight is a disappointment, but fans in the State Farm Arena and those watching at home on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes will not be disappointed."

 
A fighter whose maturity in the ring far surpasses his 21 years of age, South El Monte, California's Joseph Diaz Jr. (11-0, 7 KOs) is enjoying a meteoric rise through the junior featherweight division. Already a 2014 winner over Jiovany Fuentes and Luis Maldonado, Diaz Jr. was impressive in his first 10-round bout in July, as he outpointed prospect Ramiro Robles.

 
One of Diaz' most seasoned opponents yet, Chihuahua Mexico's Raul Hidalgo (22-11, 16 KOs) has fit a lot of experience into his four years as a professional, and he intends to use every bit of it to score the upset onSept. 29. A ferocious competitor who has faced off with the likes of Ivan Morales, AJ Banal, Daiki Kameda and Christopher Martin, the 25-year-old Hidalgo has won three of his last four bouts, most recently outpointing Gonzalo Garcia over 12 rounds in July.

 
Diaz vs. Hidalgo, a 10-round junior featherweight bout is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Leija*Battah Promotions and is sponsored by Corona Extra and O'Reilly AutoParts. The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. PT.

A professional since 2011, hard-hitting Bayamon prospect John Nater (13-4, 10 KO's) has the fight stopping power in his fists to turn the outcome of any bout in his favor. A 23-year-old starting to come into his own as a fighter, Nater has won his last two bouts against Ruddy Veloz and Wander Guerrero by first round knockout and he'd like to finish his work early once again onFeb. 10 against Fidel Maldonado Jr.

In the previously announced co-featured fight, Desoto, Texas' Errol Spence Jr. (10-0, 8 KO's) will now take on Peter Oluoch (12-6-2, 6 KO's) in front of his home state fans. Oluoch, a native of Kenya who now fights out of Pahokee, FL., Oluoch is coming off of a big win over 16-1-1 top prospect Jake Giuriceo and he's seeking the upset once again when he faces Spence Jr.

One of boxing's top prospects across all weight classes, 23-year-old Philadelphia native Julian "J-Rock" Williams (14-0-1, 8 KO's) continues to impress with each outing, most recently stopping Orlando Lora in three rounds last December. Already a winner over former World Champion Joachim Alcine, Williams will kick off his 2014 campaign against Congo-native Alex "The Technician" Bunema (31-10-2, 17 KO's).

RISING 140-POUND STAR FIDEL MALDONADO JR. RETURNS TO SAN ANTONIO TO FACE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION STEVE FORBES ON GOLDEN BOY LIVE! SERIES ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10





SAN ANTONIO'S COWBOYS DANCEHALL ONCE AGAIN HOSTS A NIGHT OF BOXING ACTION ON FOX SPORTS 1 AND FOX DEPORTES

Tickets Starting At $25 Are On Sale Now!

SAN ANTONIO (January 14) - Winner of four straight bouts, including an impressive seventh-round technical knockout of Luis Ramos Jr. last November, junior welterweight prospect Fidel "The Atrisco Kid" Maldonado Jr. is back at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio, TX. onMonday, Feb. 10 when he faces former World Champion Steve "2Pound" Forbes on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes in the main event of the second 2014 installment Golden Boy Live!.

In the co-main event, unbeaten 2012 U.S. Olympian Errol Spence Jr. is scheduled for 10-rounds in the welterweight division versus an opponent to be determined.

"The fans were great in San Antonio the last time I fought here and I'm going to give them an exciting show again," said Maldonado.  "Steve Forbes is a former world champion and he's got a lot of experience, but I'm ready to step up to this challenge.."

"Don't count me out yet," said Forbes.  "I'm still strong and fast, and I can do things in the ring a kid like Maldonado hasn't even seen yet.  Watch this fight on February 10; it's going to be something to remember."

"San Antonio fans are some of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable in boxing, and they're in for a treat on February 10," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "Maldonado vs. Forbes is an important fight for both men, and the winner is going to be off to a great start toward big things in 2014."

Maldonado Jr. vs. Forbes is a 10-round junior welterweight bout presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Leija*Battah Promotions and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Cowboys Dancehall doors open at 5:00 p.m. CT and the first fight starts at 6:30 p.m. CT.  The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. PT.

Tickets, priced at $100, $65, $35 and $24, plus applicable taxes, fees and service charges are available for purchase now by phone by calling Leija*Battah Promotions at (210) 979-3302,m@leijabattahpromo.com or text "Tickets" to 210-556-7390.  Tables are also available for $260 plus applicable taxes, fees and service charges. 

Southpaw sensation Fidel "The Atrisco Kid" Maldonado Jr. (17-2, 14 KO's) may hail from Albuquerque, New Mexico, but if the 22-year-old keeps delivering performances like his recent seventh-round stoppage of Luis Ramos Jr., fans in San Antonio are likely to adopt him as one of their own.  Maldonado Jr., former amateur star who bounced back from two 2012 losses to win four consecutive bouts, three by knockout, is definitely a fighter to watch in 2014.

A seasoned veteran whose world championship experience has earned him respect throughout the boxing world, former junior lightweight titlist Steve "2Pound" Forbes (35-12, 11 KO's) believes that, at 36, he still has another title run left in him, and his effort in a controversial majority decision loss to Johan Perez in January of 2013 proves it.  Hailing from Las Vegas, Forbes has faced the best of the best over the years, including Oscar De La Hoya, Andre Berto, Cornelius Bundrage, Carlos Hernandez and John Brown, and on Feb. 10, he aims to hand Maldonado Jr. a loss in San Antonio.

Desoto, Texas' Errol Spence (10-0, 8 KO's) has stayed busy since his stint as a member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic team, and as he's compiled a perfect professional record, he has fought in California, Florida and Nevada, only visiting his home state once.  But on Feb. 10, the hard-hitting 23-year-old southpaw will be back in Texas in search of his eleventh professional victory.

A full card will be announced shortly.

FORMER WORLD TITLE CHALLENGER FERNANDO GUERRERO TO FACE RAYMOND GATICA AS THE CO-MAIN EVENT ONMONDAY, NOV. 11 AT COWBOYS DANCEHALL IN GOLDEN BOY LIVE! RETURN TO SAN ANTONIO LIVE ON FOX SPORTS 1 AND FOX DEPORTES

  





PLUS! 2012 U.S. OLYMPIAN TERRELL GAUSHA TO BE FEATURED

SAN ANTONIO (Oct. 28) - One of boxing's most popular action fighters, former middleweight world title challenger Fernando Guerrero will look to thrill boxing fans on Monday, Nov. 11 when he squares off against Austin's Raymond Gatica in the 10-round co-main event of FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes' Golden Boy Live! (10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. PT) at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio, Texas.

"I'm excited to return to the ring and get back in the title picture," said Guerrero.  "The Texas fans were great to me when I fought there against JC Candelo last year and I promise to give them another show to remember on November 11."

"Fernando Guerrero is a big name in the division and I have a lot of respect for him," said Gatica.  "But, I have every intention of beating him in front of my fellow Texans and making a big statement."

In the 10-round main event, it's a meeting of junior welterweight southpaws when Fidel "The Atrisco Kid" Maldonado Jr. and Luis Ramos Jr. meet in the ring.

"Fernando Guerrero is one of my favorite fighters to watch and he brings it every time," said Mike Battah, President of Battah*Leija Promotions.  "He had a great performance in Texas against JC Candelo and the San Antonio fans wanted him again, so we got him.  He's in for a tough test in Raymond Gatica and I think we're going to be in for a great fight on November 11."

Also added to the televised portion of the card is an eight-round middleweight bout featuring unbeaten 2012 U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha against an opponent to be determined.

Twenty-seven year-old southpaw Fernando Guerrero (25-2, 19 KO's) has always been a must-see for boxing fans and he doesn't disappoint.  A native of the Dominican Republic who later became synonymous with his adopted hometown of Salisbury, Maryland, Guerrero parlayed a four-fight winning streak from 2011-2012 into a world title shot against current WBO Middleweight Champion Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin in April of 2013.  Guerrero fell short of victory that night, but he's eager to get back in the title race beginning with his Nov. 11 bout against Gatica.

Austin's Raymond Gatica (13-1, 8 KO's) is a former Texas State Welterweight Champion who is unbeaten in two fights since moving to the middleweight division in 2013 where the 29-year-old upset Raul Casarez in April.  In his most recent bout on June 28, he stopped Juan Reyna in four rounds, making it clear that he's ready for his FOX national television debut against Guerrero.

Since emerging from the London Olympics, Team USA member Terrell Gausha (11-2, 6 KO's) has proven to be one of the most promising members of the Class of 2012, showing off speed, savvy and power as he's scored six post-Olympic wins, four by knockout.  Fresh from a recent first-round technical knockout over Bruce Runkle in September, the 26-year-old from Cleveland will attempt to keep the momentum going in Texas.

Maldonado Jr. vs. Ramos Jr. is a 10-round junior welterweight bout presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Leija*Battah Promotions and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Cowboys Dancehall doors open at 5:00 p.m. CT and the first fight starts at 6:30 p.m. CT.  In the co-main event, Fernando Guerrero squares off against Raymond Gatica in a 10-round middleweight bout.  The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. PT.

Tickets, priced at $100, $65, $30 and $20, plus applicable taxes, fees and service charges are available for purchase now by phone by calling Leija*Battah Promotions at (210) 979-3302.

"The boxing fans in San Antonio have a well-deserved reputation as the best in Texas, so it was an easy decision for us to return with our latest edition of Golden Boy Live!," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "In our main event, we have two top 140-pound prospects Fidel Maldonado Jr. and Luis Ramos Jr. They're both hungry to put on a great fight and this is a must-win situation for both of these fighters."

"Luis is a tough fighter who has fought a lot of quality opponents," said Maldonado Jr. "But, I think I have the style and power to beat him. I plan on doing just that on November 11."

The pride of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Fidel Maldonado Jr. (16-2, 13 KO's) is a hard-hitting prospect that always gives the fans an exciting fight. After suffering the only two losses of his professional career in 2012 against Fernando Carcamo and Michael Perez, the 22-year-old roared back, winning three straight, including knockouts over Jorge Romero and Abraham Osuna. Now back in business at 140 pounds, Maldonado Jr. will showcase his talent on the national stage this November.

Twenty-five-year-old Santa Ana, Calif. product Luis Ramos Jr. (23-1, 10 KO's) quickly rose to the top of the boxing world with wins over Francisco Lorenzo, Ray Beltran and Noe Bolanos, then he suffered his only blemish on his record when a controversial cut caused him to lose to former Olympian Ricardo Williams Jr. in Dec. of 2012. Now fully healed and ready to fight again, Ramos Jr. will look to regain his status at 140 pounds with a big win over Maldonado Jr.

A full card will be announced shortly.
