Felix Verdejo To Return on February 28th in Tampa

By Miguel Rivera

Félix 'El Diamante' Verdejo (16-0, 12KOs) had a very busy year in 2014, with seven victories. Verdejo was last seen in action on December 13 in Philadelphia with a third round stoppage win over Karim El Ouazghari. The hot prospect will make his return on February 28 in Tampa, Florida, according to manager and trainer Ricky Marquez. It will be his final eight round bout before moving on to ten rounders. The card will air on 'Solo Boxeo Tecate' series on Univision.

"Felix will return on February 28 in Tampa, Florida. It's a market that opened up a few years ago when Miguel Cotto and Delvin Rodriguez fought and it's a place that is full of Puerto Ricans. Tampa is an interesting and important city for Felix, because it could also be a place where he can fight a future in the big stadium,' Marquez told ESPN Deportes.
