SEMINOLE WARRIORS BOXING INKS FORMER WORLD CHAMPION RAUL MARQUEZ
HOLLYWOOD, FL, January 17 – Former world champion and 1992 United States
Olympian Raul Marquez is the latest addition to the elite stable of
boxers promoted by Seminole Warriors Boxing Promotions Inc., it was
announced today.“Raul Marquez is a true warrior and one of boxing's most
exciting fighters, and we are excited to be part of his team as he
chases after another world championship in 2007,” said Leon Margules,
Executive Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing Promotions Inc. “Raul is
a tough out for anyone in this game, and he's been looking better than
ever, in the gym and in the ring.”Marquez' first bout under the Seminole
Warriors banner will take place in early 2007 at a date and site to be
determined.
Born in Reynosa, Mexico, Raul Marquez (38-3, 27 KOs) now makes his home
in Houston, Texas, where he has been the city's fistic hero for over a
decade. A member of the 1992 US Olympic team, “El Diamante” duplicated
his amateur success in the pros as he won the IBF junior middleweight
title with a ninth round TKO of Anthony Stephens in 1997. He would
defend the title twice before losing it to Yory Boy Campas later that
year, but since then he has compiled a record of 10-2 with 1 no contest,
with the only losses coming to Jermain Taylor and Fernando Vargas. 3-0
with three knockouts in 2006, Marquez – who has also garnered rave
reviews as a color commentator for HBO Latino and NBC – is ready for big
things in 2007.
