“Nick Ianuzzi is a tough opponent and I’m expecting a very tough fight! He proved to the world that he is a top contender in his fight with Kayode. This is exactly the type of challenge I want!” Said Flores

“I am very ready and extremely excited about the opportunity to fight in front of my hometown fans. This fight will put me back into the top of the world ratings and help me to get back into title contention.“

“Now that we have this deal in place with the O’Rielly center, I plan on keeping a very active schedule and fighting every four months to work my way back to the top! I need to stay active and in the ring. This is the only way to be successful in this sport.”
