“I’m very happy with the way I’ve been training for this fight. It’s been difficult being out of the ring for the last five months. I want to come out with an aggressive style and give the fans something to remember.” ~ Carlos Ivan Velasquez

“Being a prize fighter is a rough job, but one I enjoy greatly. All the experience I’ve gotten this year is preparing me for the next level. My goal is to continue winning and give the fans the action they deserve. I’m coming to fight. I can’t wait.” ~ Juan Carlos Velasquez

Opponents for both fighters will be announced shortly.
