Omar Douglas to take on Jose Angel Beranza this Saturday night at Harrahs Philadelphia PhilBoxing.com Thu, 23 Apr 2015 Plus undefeated Kyrone Davis, Angel Ocasio, Christopher Brooker, Earl Newman, Stephan Shaw, Adam Kownacki, Stephen Fulton, Jovontae Starks and Raynell Williams Chester, PA (April 22, 2015)--This Saturday night, April 25, boxing returns to Harrahs Philadelphia with a terrific card promoted by King's Promotions and XFE. In the main event, undefeated lightweight Omar Douglas will see action in an six-round bout when he takes on 70-fight veteran Jose Angel Beranza (36-32-2, 28 KO's) of Tepito, Mexico. Douglas of Wilmington, Delaware has a record of 13-0 with ten knockouts. He turned pro on May 27, 2011 with a 3rd round disqualification victory over Eric Hall. Douglas won the NABA USA Super Featherweight title with a 2nd round stoppage over Jean Javier Soto. Douglas also has a quality win with a 8-round unanimous decision over Jesse Carradine (8-2-2). In his last bout, Douglas scored an explosive first round stoppage over Osnel Charles on December 5, 2014 at Harrahs Philadelphia. "Training camp has been great. I started preparing for this fight as soon as the last fight was over. I have been sparring with the best fighters in the area. When I started my camp, I was only seven pounds over the contract weight,"said Douglas. Douglas knows very little about Ortiz. "I really only know that he is from Mexico and he has a pretty decent record." This will be the first time that Douglas headlines in his home region and he not about to have any of the distractions to go with that. "I take it in stride. I consider it just another day at the office. The only difference is that I am closing the show." This being his 14th pro fight, Douglas is now rounding into a situation where he knows what he has to do to continue to get better. "I have been very responsible with my defense. I always knew I had a pro style. It was my late trainer Lewis Lum who told me I was better suited to become a professional world champion than an Olympic gold medal winner." Douglas sees himself continuing to grow and fighting on more high profile platforms as the year progresses. "I see myself on bigger cards. I am with Al Haymon so to fight on a PBC card is a goal for the year. By the end of the year, I should be considered a hot prospect and I should get in three or four more fights that should put my name out more." Douglas finished by saying, "On April 25, expect a show. I will be smart and put everything together. I train for every opponent like they are the best. Once it all comes together it will be lights out!!"
