Nicklaus “Nico” Flaz will face Christian “Ninote” Gomez in a 10-round junior lightweight bout at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida, on November 9.
The event, promoted by ProBox TV, will begin at 7pm. ET (4 PT) and stream on the ProBox TV app.
Flaz (13-2 with 9 KOs), from Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, looks to extend his win streak to five after recent victories over notable prospects, including Brian Ceballo, Jahi Tucker, Luke Santamaria, and Alfredo Escarcega. The 28-year-old Flaz faces the 30-year-old Gomez (23-4-1, 21 KOs), from Guadalajara, Mexico, who is coming off a fifth-round TKO over Jesus Acosta Zazueta in April.
In the co-main event, welterweight Jesus Saracho (14-2-1, 11 KOs), originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, but fighting out of Auburn, Washington, will face Fernando Bunch (13-1, 6 KOs) in a 10-round bout. Saracho, 23, is coming off a split-decision win over Alberto Palmetta on ProBox TV in July. Meanwhile, Bunch, 33, from Augusta, Georgia, is looking to bounce back after suffering his first career loss, a split-decision defeat to Rashad Bogar in January at Atlantic City.
Other notable bouts include a junior middleweight clash between Darrelle “Blast” Valsaint (11-0, 9 KOs) of Orlando, Florida, and Angel “Relampago” Ruiz (18-3-1, 13 KOs) of Los Angeles, California, in a 10-round contest. Valsaint, 24, is riding a four-fight knockout streak and stopped Pachino Hill in June in his only fight this year.
Joseph “Jo Jo” Diaz (33-6-1, 15 KOs), 31, from Downey, California, takes on Yoandris “El Nino” Salinas (23-2-2, 16 KOs), 33, of Miami, Florida, in a 10-round bout at lightweight.
