Eighteen year old amateur standout Ronny Rios makes his professional debut this Friday night, October 24 at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, CA. The Santa Ana resident will battle fellow debuter Fermin Perez of Puerto Rico in a scheduled super bantamweight four round bout.

“I’m very excited to turn pro this Friday night. I’ve been training hard in the gym and look forward to putting on a terrific performance for the fans in Ontario,” said Rios.

Rios’s illustrious amateur career included first place finishes at the United States Men’s Nationals (twice), National Golden Gloves, World Golden Gloves, Under 19 Nationals, National Silver Gloves and the National Junior Golden Gloves.

Said manager Frank Espinoza, “It’s always exciting when a fighter with great amateur credentials turns pro. I know that expectations will be high for Ronny given his success as an amateur and his popularity in Southern California but I think he’s ready. He’s very focused and has been training diligently with Hector Lopez in the gym.”
