THE COUNTDOWN IS ON FOR NICO PEREZ!
The Elorde team are putting together another exciting card next month for the latest UKC instalment, RUMBLE IN NOVEMBER!
What makes these events so special is the willingness to match emerging talents against each other early in their careers. It's where prospects are tested, reputations are built, and future stars begin to emerge.
Twenty-three-year-old Nico Perez looked fantastic in a stoppage victory last December, leaving fight fans wondering what would come next.
And now we have the answer!
Perez will face Papua New Guinea's 🇵🇬 Fidelis “The Bougainville Bomber” Laia, another talented prospect with plenty of firepower of his own. This shapes as a fascinating clash between two offensive fighters eager to make their mark.
With November 28 fast approaching, the race is on to hit peak condition.
The powerfully built Perez (pictured right) banked six torrid rounds in training today and has 4 weeks to taper.
Representing MOVE Fitness Gym, Nico is determined to repay the faith of those supporting his journey.
He recently thanked Sir Bill John Toledo and Ma’am Pao Adivino Agulay for sponsoring his fighting shoes, pledging to represent his gym with pride, dedication and heart every time he steps into the ring.
It's a commitment that goes beyond the fight itself.
Now, with a dangerous opponent waiting across the ring, Perez has the perfect opportunity to put those words into action.
The boy means business!
