Mark Bernaldez will be strutting his wares in the United States when he takes on unbeaten fighter Erick de Leon on July 14 in Lakefront Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana.
The huge break came more than three months after Bernaldez signed up with the General Santos City-based Sanman Promotions.
?I am very excited to fight for the first time in the USA,? said Bernaldez, who signed up with Sanman last March.
Bernaldez (16W-1L-0D, 11KOs) and De Leon (17W-0L-1D, 10KOs) will square off in a 10-round super featherweight duel in a card promoted by Bob Arum?s Top Rank.
?It is every boxer?s dream in the Philippines to fight in the USA especially in a big card with Top Rank. I will do everything to win this fight. I would like to thank Sanman boxing for this big opportunity and I will train very hard for this,? said Bernaldez, who fought for ALA Boxing Gym before joining Sanman.
Bernaldez last saw action in April 28 that saw him knocking out JP Macadumpis in Glan Saranggani, Province.
The impressive win marked the end of Bernaldez?s long hiatus as that was his first fight since losing to Tsuyoshi Tameda via technical knockout in August 5, 2018 in Japan.
While his next fight is against an undefeated fighter, Sanman Promotions CEO Jim Claude Manangquil is upbeat of Bernaldez?s chances.
?I think this is a very winnable fight for Bernaldez. Erick De Leon is a great fighter but I think his style is suited for Mark,? said Manangquil.
