BJ Flores Back In Action On Friday

PHOENIX, AZ (August 13, 2008 ) Undefeated and world ranked cruiserweight BJ Flores returns to the ring this Friday night, August 15th to take on veteran Cory Phelps at the Ibiza Nightclub in Washington DC in an eight round bout. Flores, 21-0-1 (13KO’s), is currently ranked #2 by the IBF, #5 by the WBO and #8 by the WBA.

The 24 year old Phelps, fighting out of Catlettsburg, Kentucky, brings a record of 13-4-1 (7KO’s) into the battle. Earlier this year he fought to a six round draw with Bobby Gunn in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

Speaking after a final training session in his hometown of Phoenix, Flores stated, “I’m thrilled to get back in the ring, it’s been six months since my last fight and I’m ready to go. With the time off I was still training in Phoenix and Las Vegas because I knew a fight was coming, it just took a little longer. The fight against Phelps was offered to me late last week and it offers me an opportunity to get back in the ring..”

Continued Flores, “Hopefully now I’ll be fighting on a more consistent basis with bigger fights on the horizon. This fight is important for me because I want to fight more often and this is the first step. There are a lot of great fighters in the cruiserweight division and I want to fight the best.”

With the fight in Washington DC, Flores returns to region of his biggest win, the nationally televised twelve round unanimous decision over Darnell Wilson in nearby Dover, Delaware on February 8, 2008.

"The fans were great to me in Delaware so it’s nice to go back there and fight", said Flores

I hope he does not run like he did against Ding

David Haye has picked BJ Flores as the next undisputed champ at Cruiser, so I'm pretty excited to see this fight.

Remember, Ding was his first top 10 opponent.

Flores is a versatile boxer-puncher, he did the smart thing and outboxed the puncher. Tomorrow night you'll see his puncher side I'm sure.

"BJ" should really be preoccupied with dropping those initials and getting himself a tough sounding moniker?:blood
