Philadelphia’s future world champion ready for step-up battle

PHILADELPHIA (MARCH 2, 2009)—On Friday night, March 6th, another in the long line of great fighters from Philadelphia will be unleashed on the world as nineteen year-old wunderkind, Raymond “Tito” Serrano will look to keep his impressive undefeated record in-tact as he takes on Jay Krupp as the co-feature on a nationally televised show that will emanate from the Mohegan Sun & Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Serrano of North Philadelphia has built up an 8-0 record with five big wins coming by knockout.

Serrano has been preparing for this fight with some intense sparring with some of the best welterweights in the world.

“I was in camp with Delvin Rodriguez (who will be fighting Shamone Alvarez in the main event on March 6th) and I have been working with Mike Jones”, said Serrano

“I am excited to be the co-main event on ESPN 2 as it’s a great opportunity to showcase my skills to the world. I have a great team around me and I have to thank my promoter, Joe DeGuardia for this great opportunity for everyone to see me.”

Serrano has one of the best young trainer’s in former Philadelphia bantamweight, Danny Davis and the trainer sees his pupil on the fast track.

“I see the progress. He is turning into a complete fighter and he is just nineteen tears old.” said Davis

“He has a great promoter in Joe DeGuardia and he is moving him well. All Raymond has to do is train and stay focused and he will be a fighter that people will have to watch out for.”

DeGuardia, who is one of the better promoters and is a former fighter himself sees a lot of promise for the young Serrano.

“We are looking forward to featuring Raymond Serrano on March 6th at the Mohegan Sun on ESPN2. It will be a night of firsts for Raymond (first eight rounder, first nationally televised co-feature) against perhaps his toughest opponent to date. Although he is only 19 years old, we are confident in Raymond’s skill level and ability to become a world champion in the welterweight division. Boxing fans should be sure to catch Raymond Serrano on March 6th as he takes a huge step in that direction.”
