‘DINAMITA’ IS NOW GOLDEN
LOS ANGELES, August 30 – Long regarded as one of boxing’s best, pound
for pound, Interim WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez has
now joined the star-studded roster of Golden Boy Promotions and will
once again be able to display his explosive talent worldwide.
“We are incredibly excited to work with a great fighter like Juan Manuel
Marquez,” said Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions.
“He is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world and a serious
threat to any fighter from 126 to 130 pounds. Being able to act as his
promoter is an honor, and the boxing world should gear up for some
exciting things from ‘Dinamita.’”
“This is an exciting day for Juan Manuel Marquez” said manager / trainer
Nacho Beristain. “We have watched Juan work tirelessly to get to where
he is at and we feel that with him getting the opportunity to have
Golden Boy Promotions as a promoter is a natural progression for him –
this union makes sense.”
Said Jaime Quintana, President of Romanza Boxing and Juan Manuel
Marquez’s co-promoter: “Golden Boy Promotions is today the Gold
Standard for boxing promotions. I am looking forward to working with
the Golden Boy Team and working together to bring the biggest fights to
Juan Manuel Marquez.”
Marquez, 45-3-1 with 34 knockouts, is known for his explosive
counterpunching power and his epic battle against Manny “Pac Man”
Pacquiao in 2004, a Fight of The Year candidate in which he defended his
IBF and WBA titles with a razor-close 12 round draw. Earlier this month,
Marquez defeated Terdsak "The Pit Bull" Jandaeng by a seventh round TKO
to add the WBO Title to his impressive resume.
Juan Manuel Marquez will be back in the ring later this year.
Information will be release as it becomes available.
