Chicago welterweight knockout artist Luciano “El Michicano” Perez will battle Ramiro Rivera at March Mayhem this Friday, March 16 at Cicero Stadium, it was announced today by Dominic Pesoli, President of 8 Count Productions.

A native of Mexico, Perez’s aggressive style and knockout power have made him a favorite amongst Chicago fans since his pro debut almost four year ago. His last bout was a Solo Boxeo televised war with highly regarded contender Jesus Soto Karass this past December in Houston, Texas.
