ESPN Boxing: Julio Diaz Faces David Torres At Playboy Mansion June 25

ByBoxing Press

Former lightweight world champion Julio “Kidd” Diaz, 34-4 (25) will face unbeaten David “El Torrito” Torres, 20-0 (13) in a 10 round bout on Wednesday, June 25, from the world famous Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, CA, televised on ESPN2 at 11:00 p.m. ET/8:00 p.m. PT.

Diaz, coming off a tough ninth round TKO loss against former lightweight kingpin Juan Diaz, is looking to get back into championship contention with a solid performance over the undefeated Torres.

“It’s all about looking and feeling good,” Diaz said. “I need to settle into my comfort zone early and build momentum from there. I expect to dominate the fight from start to finish.”

Newly signed to Sycuan Ringside Promotions, Henry “Sugar Poo” Buchanan, 16-1 (11), will display his super middleweight skills on national television against Brian Norman, 16-7 (4), in an eight round fight that precedes Diaz-Torres.

“Fighting on national TV is a big step up for me,” said Buchanan, who is an uncle to San Diego Chargers All-Pro linebacker Shawn Merriman. “There is more pressure to perform well when you’re on ESPN. Fans at home can pick apart your game and give opinions. I want to be able to leave a good impression on the viewers and the fans in attendance.”

Sycuan Ringside Promotions (SRP) of San Diego, CA will promote the evening of boxing aptly titled, “Tribal Pride at the Playboy Mansion .”
