Diego De La Hoya has thrilled fans with his impressive boxing skills since making his professional debut in 2013. Fighting with power, the Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico native has stayed busy in 2015 with an impressive victory over world title contender Manuel "Suavecito" Roman at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in February, and defeating Ramiro Robles in his first appearance at LA FIGHT CLUB in May. The rising star followed up with quick victories over Jose "Hollywood" Estrella in July and Jesus "Estrella" Ruiz in September. De La Hoya will make his highly anticipated return to the ring as he defends his undefeated status on November 20. Giovanni Delgado is looking for victory when he returns to the ring on Nov. 20 after suffering a difficult loss to Joseph "Jojo" Diaz, Jr. in his U.S. debut on the May 9 undercard of Canelo vs. Kirkland earlier this year. Delgado has impressed since making his debut in 2010, which led to a two-year winning streak. He suffered his first loss against Robert "Escorpi?n" Pucheta Amador after enduring cuts over both eyes, stopping him in the sixth round. Since then, Delgado has added three victories, all by knockout. Delgado will be eager Nov. 20 to prove to himself and the fans that he can added another win to his resume, even over an opponent as tough as De La Hoya. Fighting out of Caguas, Puerto Rico, a city known for its boxing history, John Karl Sosa is hoping to one day become part of that legacy. The welterweight prospect has had a stellar record thus far staying active in 2014 and winning all four of his fights via decision. Most recently, Sosa faced Joaquin "Chico" Chavez in April and defeated the tough fighter via unanimous decision. Now, the undefeated star is looking to conquer a victory for his native land when he faces the Mexican Alan Sanchez, ahead of the mega fight between Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez. Hailing from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and now fighting out of Fairfield, California, Alan Sanchez is looking to add another victory to his record. Undefeated since 2014, the 24-year-old has four straight victories and will be looking to continue the momentum on Nov. 20. Sanchez was last seen in the ring in June when he faced Carlos "Kalimba" Lozano and defeated him by unanimous decision. Now, the Mexican fighter will be looking for a victory over Puerto Rico when he faces Puerto Rico's John Karla Sosa on Nov. 20.
