ORLANDO, FL (October 15, 2024) – Boxlab Promotions' undefeated welterweight prospect Elijah Flores (9-0, 3 KOs) extended his perfect record with an impressive unanimous decision victory over Omar Rosario (13-2, 4 KOs). The bout, which took place this past Friday, October 11, 2024, at the Coliseo Roger Mendoza in Caguas, Puerto Rico, was part of MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 9 card, streamed live to boxing fans worldwide on DAZN.
Facing Rosario in his hometown, Flores displayed his grit, determination and superior boxing skills, controlling the pace and securing a decisive win on the judges’ scorecards, handing Rosario his second loss as a professional.
“Defeating a dangerous fighter like Rosario in his hometown is a huge accomplishment for me,” said Flores. “I knew it would be a tough fight, but I came in prepared, and it feels great to get the win in front of such passionate fans. Fighting in Puerto Rico on DAZN was an amazing experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to showcase my skills on such a big platform.”
“Elijah’s win against Rosario is a testament to his commitment to always be prepared going into tough fights,” said Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions. “He went into a hostile environment against a very tough, skilled opponent and showed that he belongs at the top of the welterweight division. We’re thrilled with his progress, and the future is very bright for him. We’ll be looking for more big opportunities for Elijah as he continues his rise in the sport.”
Flores reflected on his growth under the guidance of Boxlab Promotions, crediting the team for their support throughout his career. “My career with Boxlab Promotions has been going extremely well. They’ve given me the right opportunities to develop and show what I’m capable of. This win is just another step forward, and I’m excited for what comes next.”
When asked about his future plans, Flores was ready for the challenges ahead. “I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym and continuing to improve. There’s a lot more I want to accomplish, and I’m ready to take on anyone they put in front of me.”
