HOLLYWOOD, FL, June 13 – It’s just days away – the 12 round IBF Light Heavyweight Elimination bout between Ricky “Showtime” Quiles and Javier Jauregui live at the Coconut Creek Casino in Coconut Creek, Florida.
Ricky “Showtime” Quiles (37-6-3, 8 KOs), a slick boxing southpaw out of Loraine, Ohio, is coming off the biggest victory of his almost 16-year career, an exciting 12 round decision win over highly regarded Edner Cherry on February 4. It was a satisfying win for the native of Ponce, Puerto Rico, a former NABO, WBF, NABA, and WBC Continental Americas Champion, who is riding an impressive four fight winning streak.
Quiles will battle former IBF World Lightweight Champion, Javier Jauregui (49-11-2, 34 KOs) who has taken the road less traveled during his 17-year career.
Also featuring, rising star Edison Miranda (22-0, 21 KOs) from Barranquilla, Colombia. Miranda is coming off his US debut on May 20, when he impressively beat rugged Sam Reese over ten rounds. Blessed with concussive power and a pleasing style, boxing insiders believe the 24-year-old is destined for great things in the Middleweight Division.
Heavyweight contender Kendrick Releford will also be available for questions. Releford (13-4-1, KO’s) has been a late bloomer in the sport, rebounding from an 8-3-1 early pro record to win his last five bouts, including victories over Elieser Castillo, Ron Guerrero, and Ramon Garbey. The WBO Latino and IBF United States Atlantic Coast Regional champion, the 23-year-old Texan is on the fast track to the top ten within the coming year.
