Lou DiBella of DiBella Entertainment made a recent trip to Puerto Rico to finalize signing of junior welterweight prospect, Joel "Joelo" Torres.
DiBella comments, “I have no doubt in my mind that Joelo has the qualities to become a big star in Puerto Rico.
"From now on, we will be helping him in everything that we can so he can reach his potential.”
Torres' manager, Ricardo Figueroa of Real Fighters, was also on hand. His efforts have helped Torres succeed and has been supporting "Joelo" since the early days of the junior welter's career.
24 year old Torres was in a tough fight against Chris Fernandez that resulted in a draw in May of last year but knocked out Omar Serrano this past January, in just the first round.
Torres, whose record stands at 10-0-1 (6), is consistently training and preparing for his next fight, which may be take place in August.
