John Bauza Wraps Up Training Camp Ahead of Title Showdown with Kevin Brown

PhilBoxing.com





ORLANDO, FL (September 3, 2024) – John Bauza (18-1, 8 KOs), the seasoned super lightweight contender from Universal Promotions, has completed his training camp as he prepares to face Boxlab Promotions' undefeated rising star Kevin Brown (5-0, 3 KOs) for the WBA Super Lightweight Continental Americas title. The highly anticipated 10-round bout will take place this Friday, September 6, 2024, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, FL, as part of MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 8 card, broadcast live globally on DAZN. Tickets can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.

Bauza, who has been putting in intense work during his training camp, is eager to showcase his skills and experience in this pivotal matchup.

"This camp has been one of the best of my career,” said Bauza, who hails from North Bergen, New Jersey by way of Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. “I’ve pushed myself harder than ever before, and I’m in peak condition. I’m ready to go out there and show everyone what I’m capable of. Kevin Brown is a talented fighter, but I’ve been in the ring with tougher competition. My experience will be the key in this fight, and I plan on showing him what it means to step up to this level."

Bauza is looking forward to putting on a great performance for his people back home in Puerto Rico. He’s excited to be fighting on a global platform and knows what a win will do for his career.

"It’s exciting to be fighting on an international platform like DAZN,” concluded Bauza. “The exposure is incredible, and it motivates me to perform at my best knowing that fans around the world are watching. A win in this fight will put me right back in the mix for bigger opportunities. I’m focused on getting the job done and taking my career to the next level. I want to bring this victory home to my people in Puerto Rico."

Javier Bustillo, President of Universal Promotions, is confident in his fighter’s ability to come out on top. "John Bauza’s experience will be the key factor on him winning this fight. He’s been in tough battles before, and that’s going to show when he steps into the ring with Kevin Brown. We believe he’s ready to secure the victory and move forward in his career."

The stage is set for an explosive matchup between two hungry fighters, each looking to make a statement in the super lightweight division.
