Undefeated super bantamweight prospect and rising star, Eros Correa (5-0, 5 KOs), returns to the ring this Saturday in Tijuana, Mexico. The 4-round bout is being promoted by GM3 Boxing Promotions and Gonzalez Boxing Promotions, and will take place at Cheer's Bar, in Tijuana. Correa will face Jose Pech, a veteran of over 30 fights.
"I'm looking forward to this fight," said Eros Correa, who's guided by Cali Boxing Management. "My last fight in Tijuana was my toughest opponent to date so I'm not looking past Pech. Fighting in Mexico has been great for my career. With each fight I feel I'm getting better and better. I'm gaining a lot of experience and my confidence is at an all time high. I'm also starting to build a fan base out there. I want to thank my team for all their hard work. This Saturday I'll be going for another knockout."
Since signing with Cali Boxing Management last summer, Correa has been fighting on a consistent basis, going undefeated in four fights, all by knockout. This will be Correa's second fight of 2019. In his last bout he scored a fourth round TKO.
"We are happy with Eros' progress and we feel he's developing into a great fighter, one that we believe will make some serious noise in the super bantamweight division," said Andrew Bocanegra, of Cali Boxing Management. "After this bout we have plans to have him fight in the Bay Area, where all his family and friends will be in attendance. He's an incredibly talented fighter to say the least."
"Eros' amateur pedigree being an alternate on the 2012 Olympic team is evident and its transitioning in the pros," said Jessie Sanchez, of Cali Boxing Management. "Fighting in Mexico has been tremendous for his development."
