Team Puerto Rico's Hector "El Flaco" Sanchez (19-1, 9 KOs), is confident his extensive preparation will lead to victory when he faces fellow Puerto Rican Vincent Arroyo (11-1, 7 KOs) on a Gary Shaw Productions night of boxing on September 9 at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota.
The 10-round showdown between Sanchez and Arroyo will serve as the night's main event and will be televised live on ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME? (11 PM ET/PT). A world-class cruiserweight showdown between red-hot punching powerhouse Lateef Kayode and respectable long-time contender Felix Cora Jr., will lead off the telecast.
"This is a great opportunity to get a little closer to my goal to fight for a world title and I will take advantage of it," said the 6' 1" Sanchez, who as an amateur won a bronze medal in the Junior Olympics in New Orleans.
Sanchez and Arroyo were originally scheduled to face each other on the Boricua Boxing II event held on June 11 at Roseland Ballroom in New York, but Arroyo was injured in training.
"Without a doubt I feel that this is indeed the best preparation I've ever had for a fight, because I know it will be a tough battle against Arroyo, who is a strong and very experienced fighter," said Sanchez, promotionally represented by Universal Promotions, Gary Shaw Productions and DiBella Entertainment.
