MINNESOTA, March 21, 2014 - Puerto Rican twin brothers, Carlos and Juan Velasquez, are set to fight this Saturday at The Myth in Maplewood, Minnesota. Both fighters will campaign at super-featherweight in scheduled 6-round bouts. Carlos Velasquez (15-1, 11 KOs) will face Willshaun Boxley (6-9-1, 4 KOs) while Juan Velasquez (11-1, 5 KOs) will square off against Philip Adyaka (4-4, 2 KO).
"I'm looking forward to a big 2014," said Carlos Velasquez. "I've learned a lot since my last fight. I've been working hard and I'm feeling incredible. I have some new members of my team that have been pushing me to new limits. I just want to stay busy this year and make an impact in the division."
Juan Velasquez makes his return after a long layoff. His last fight was in April of 2012 in which he won a 4-round unanimous decision. Against Wisdom, he'll be looking to shake off the rust and get back to fighting on a regular basis.
