WBA #7 rated super-featherweight contender, Oliver Flores (27-1-2, 17 KOS), is eager to show the world he is capable of dethroning WBA champion Takashi Uchiyama (23-0-1, 19 KOs). The championship fight between Uchiyama and Flores is set to take place on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2015 at the Ota-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.
Promoted by Havoc Boxing Promotions, Flores is currently riding a four fight winning streak, with his last fight ending by way of knockout. With the WBA super-featherweight title on the line, Flores feels he’s destined to bring home the title to his countrymen of Nicaragua.
“I’ve worked hard my whole life with the goal of becoming a world champion someday,” said Oliver Flores. “That time is now just a few weeks away. I’m very determined to show the boxing world and everyone in the super-featherweight division that I’ve arrived.
“Uchiyama is the champion and he’s fighting in his backyard, which is going to be a difficult task to for me to come out victorious. But I’ve always believed that I would be a world champion and that reality will come true on December 31st.”
“We are thrilled to be representing another world champion in a high profile fight with Oliver Flores challenging Takashi Uchiyama for the WBA super-featherweight world title,” said Rob Diaz of Havoc Boxing. “Flores is in great shape and we believe he has all the tools to come out victorious.”
