Seminole Warriors Boxing and Adailton de Jesus to help WBA KO Drugs
HOLLYWOOD, FL, July 24 – In a world full of negativity, the WBA’s annual
KO to Drugs event is a shining light for those looking for some positive
news and to see one of boxing’s most influential entities giving back to
the community.
This year, Seminole Warriors Boxing and its highly touted featherweight
contender, Adailton De Jesus, will show their support by participating
in the event, which is scheduled for August 16th at the Figali
Convention Center in Panama City, Panama.
De Jesus will fight in a 12 round WBA elimination bout against hometown
hero Roinet Caballero.
“This is a great event and we fully support the WBA in their efforts to
knock out drugs,” said Leon Margules, Executive Director of Seminole
Warriors Boxing. “And not only is this a great cause, but the fans will
be seeing an exciting title eliminator between two rising stars in De
Jesus and Caballero. It should be a night to remember.”
A native of Salvador, Brazil, 28-year old Adailton De Jesus (19-1, 17
KOs) is a knockout artist who has thrilled fight fans both at home and
in the United States since turning pro in 2002. Winner of bouts against
standouts Reynaldo Hurtado and previously unbeaten Noe Bolanos.
“De Jesus suffered the only loss of his career via a very controversial
decision to Marcos Ramirez in May, but he has been training harder than
ever for his bout against Caballero, and he is looking forward to
showing some new wrinkles in his game come August 16th, said De Jesus’
Advisor, Sampson Lewkowicz.
Boquete native Roinet Caballero (21-7-1, 16 KOs) had some rough times in
his early years as a pro, but since 2005, he has been unstoppable,
winning 12 fights in a row, with only one opponent able to last the 12
round distance. The WBO Latino featherweight champion, Caballero has
defended the crown four times, and is coming off a fifth round stoppage
of Carlos Rivas on June 16. source: press release |
