Gamboa Eyes Big Things For The Future With Top Rank
By Mark Vester
Undefeated featherweight prospect Yuriorkis Gamboa is looking for big things in the near future. The young star is now being co-promoted by Germany-based Arena Box and top American company Top Rank. Gamboa appears in his first Top Rank promoted bout on the Latin Fury 10 pay-per-view that features Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in the main event on July 25 in Mexico.
"We can't hide how happy we are about the relationship with a man like Bob Arum, who to me is the best promoter that exists," said Luis De Cubas, Arena's pointman in the United States, to El Nuevo Herald." I have no doubt that Gamboa will accelerate at a high rate and reach a great height in the sport. For Gamboa it is important to gain a place like Mexico, which has been the second to Cuban boxing legends such as Mantequilla Nápoles and Urtiminio Ramo."
De Cubas told the paper that Gamboa will continue to step up in class and face much bigger challenges as his career moves along with Top Rank.
"Gamboa has faced a lot of quality opponents," De Cubas said. "Our projection for him, is that he will able to beat stronger opponents and fighting at higher weights. This union between Top Rank and Arena will achieve that goal.''
