SEASONED FIGHTER JAYSON VELEZ WILL FIGHT MEXICO'S DANIEL RAMIREZ IN THE HEADLINING EVENT FOR LA FIGHT CLUB ON JUNE 4 PhilBoxing.com Fri, 15 May 2015 FOX SPORTS 1 AND FOX DEPORTES TO AIR CARD LIVE FROM THE BELASCO THEATER IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES Tickets on Sale Today! LOS ANGELES (May 14) - After another sellout crowd at the May 7 installment of LA FIGHT CLUB, boxing's popular new series on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes is back and heating up as summer approaches. On Thursday, June 4, The Belasco Theater will once again host another sizzling edition as undefeated top prospect Jayson Velez (22-0-1, 16 KOs) of Caguas, Puerto Rico will battle it out against Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico's Daniel "Huracan" Ramirez (11-1, 5 KOs), in hopes of continuing his winning streak in a 10-round featherweight bout. Velez and Ramirez replace the previously announced Ronny Rios who had to withdraw due to injury. "In response to high demand, LA FIGHT CLUB is back June 4 at The Belasco Theater for the fourth time and will feature another card of thrilling fights from start to finish," said Oscar De La Hoya, Founder and President of Golden Boy Promotions. "These sellouts crowds demonstrate that boxing is not dead. The fans want to be entertained; they want to see fighters give it their all and battle it out in the ring for the win, and that is what LA FIGHT CLUB continues to deliver every month." Opening the telecast, undefeated Angeleno and local favorite Christian "Chimpa" Gonzalez (9-0, 9 KOs) returns to The Belasco Theater for his second appearance at LA FIGHT CLUB in a six-round super featherweight bout and Pablo Rubio of Whittier, Calif. will make his professional debut in a four-round super bantamweight non-televised bout. Opponents will be announced soon. Hailing from Caguas, Puerto Rico, Jayson Velez made his professional debut in 2007 and his U.S. debut in his ninth fight in June 2009 triumphing over Jesus Bayron at Madison Square Garden in New York City. In 2012, Velez returned to Madison Square Garden to face Salvador S?nchez II, winning the WBC Silver Featherweight Championship. Velez has continued his winning streak through 2014, most recently taking down Miguel Soto in a second round technical knockout victory in April 2014 in Puerto Rico. Velez's debut at LA FIGHT CLUB marks his first fight of 2015. A professional since 2012, Daniel "Huracan" Ramirez of Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico is looking to add another win to his record when he faces Velez on June 4. Fighting in the U.S. in all of his 2014 bouts facing top prospects Guy Robb, Aaron Garcia, and Eric Hunter, the Mexican fighter is looking to impress in his first fight of 2015. One of the most exciting prospects in the sport, 19-year-old super featherweight Christian "Chimpa" Gonzalez has thrilled fans by winning each of his professional bouts by knockout, seven in the first round. Fresh from a sixth-round stoppage of Julio Sarinana at The Belasco Theater on March 6 that forced him to rise from the canvas for the first time to win, LA's Gonzalez always brings the thrills on fight night. Pablo Rubio, from Whittier, Calif., is set to make his professional debut at the June 4 edition of LA FIGHT CLUB. Rubio fought in the 2014 USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open in the youth lightweight class at 123 lbs. He has sparred with the likes of undefeated professional boxer Leo Santa Cruz. On June 4, Rubio is determined to make a strong start to his professional career and a name for himself with the win over his opponent.
