The final press conference took place Wednesday in Cancun for Friday’s boxing card at the Oasis Resort. In the main event, undefeated super bantamweight Cristopher “Pollo” López (15-0-1, 10 KOs) will battle Alejandro “El Conejo” Díaz (11-4-2, 6 KOs) for a WBC regional title. The first match will be the professional debut of 16-year-old Tony “Lightning Junior” Curtis, trained by Roy Jones Jr.
Pollo Lopez: “I am very happy to be here, and it is very exciting that the (former) world champions call me to fight. This is a big step in my career fighting ProBox TV and it’s going to be a great fight night. I know it’s going to be a tough fight and I’m very prepared. I’m going to be very smart in my attack and I think my smarts in the ring will win me the fight on Friday night.”
Juan Manuel Márquez: “Right now, I am very excited to bring ProBox TV to Mexico and promote this card. Mexico has the best boxers in the world and it’s great to be here.”
Roy Jones Jr: “Mexico is very good and I am very excited about the card. Tony Curtis is sixteen years old and he’s turning pro on Friday night! He is from the UK and has only had ten amateur fights and is making his pro debut. He already has such a professional style that he no longer needed to fight as an amateur, so go ahead, and here we are.”
Paulie Malignaggi: “Friday’s card looks explosive and it’s a great stage. Where boxing is loved. This is a great place to put on a fight and the Mexicans have a rabid fan base and they love boxing.”
Friday’s boxing will also take place at Oasis Resort and will be broadcast live on ProBox TV and the ProBox App beginning at 9:00 pm ET / 6 pm PT.
A monthly subscription to ProBox TV costs $1.99.
