SEMINOLE WARRIORS BOXING AND SYCUAN RINGSIDE PROMOTIONS JOIN FORCES...
HOLLYWOOD, FL, October 24 – They made
history in May by becoming the first two tribes to join forces to
present a world championship boxing card. Since that time, the Seminole
Tribe of Florida and the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation have
continued to work side by side to bring the best of the best to fight
fans around the world. Seminole Warriors Boxing Promotions and Sycuan
Ringside Promotions have in place co-promotional deals with World
Lightweight Champion Julio Diaz and World Super Bantamweight Champion
Celestino Caballero.
“This is an exciting time for Seminole Warriors Boxing Promotions, as we
are working with another great Native American promotional entity in
developing and promoting world champions like Diaz and Caballero,” said
Leon Margules, Executive Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing. “Julio is
a star in the exciting lightweight division, and along with our partners
at Sycuan Ringside Promotions, we will do everything in our power to
help him reach his potential while giving the fans compelling and
exciting matchups every time he steps into the ring.”
The pride of Coachella, California, Julio “Kidd” Diaz (33-3, 24 KOs) has
done his fighting family proud by becoming one of the top lightweights
in the world over the course of a seven year career that has seen him
hold the IBF 135-pound title twice. Most recently, the 26-year-old Diaz
fought his way to the top spot again on May 18th as he scored a 12 round
unanimous decision over Ricky Quiles to win the interim world title on
the Tribal Pride PPV show at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Julio Diaz now has to fight current IBF champion Jesus Chavez to remove
the word “interim” from his World Title. The two partners Seminole
Warriors Boxing and Sycuan Ringside Promotions pledge to use their
resources to promote that fight, as well as, all other fights involving
their champions.
Diaz and Caballero join undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world
O’Neil Bell, and junior welterweight world champion Juan Urango, on
Seminole Warriors Boxing’s championship roster. Sycuan Ringside
Promotions’ champions include undisputed welterweight king Carlos
Baldomir, junior lightweight world titlist Joan Guzman, and super
bantamweight world champion Israel Vazquez. Now Warriors and Sycuan also
share in the promotion of world champions Diaz and Caballero. |
