PhilBoxing.com




LAS VEGAS, NV (October 2, 2024) – Undefeated heavyweight Herich Ruiz (5-0, 4 KOs), who is co promoted by Boxlab Promotions and Warriors Boxing, is set for the biggest challenge of his young career when he faces fellow unbeaten prospect Travorus Barnes (6-0, 5 KOs) in an 8-round bout on the Most Valuable Prospects 9 card. The event takes place at the Coliseo Roger Mendoza in Caguas, Puerto Rico, on Friday, October 11, 2024, and will air live worldwide on DAZN for subscribers.

This highly anticipated clash will see two heavy hitters looking to maintain their unblemished records, with Ruiz aiming to prove he is ready to step up to the next level of competition. Ruiz, who has been training under the watchful eye of renowned coach Ismael Salas, expressed his excitement about the opportunity and the challenge that lies ahead.

“I’m ready to take my career to the next level,” said Ruiz. “This fight is dangerous, but it’s the kind of test I’ve been waiting for. I’ve put in the work with Coach Salas during training camp, and I feel more prepared than ever to give a great performance. A win over Barnes will do wonders for my career, and I’m ready to show the world what I can do.”

Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, is confident Ruiz will rise to the occasion and emerge victorious in this pivotal fight. "Travorus Barnes is a tough and dangerous opponent, but we believe Herich is ready for this challenge. He’s worked hard in camp, and with his dedication and skills, I’m confident he will come out victorious. A win here will open up major doors for Ruiz and position him for even bigger opportunities down the road.”

In what will be his first fight in Puerto Rico, Ruiz also spoke about his excitement to fight in front of the passionate Puerto Rican fans.“I’m thrilled to be fighting in Puerto Rico for the first time in my career. I know the energy from the fans will be incredible, and I can’t wait to put on a show for them. I’m focused, I’m ready, and I’m coming to make a statement.”
