Former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa will look to put himself squarely back into world title contention when he faces fellow former champion Roman "Rocky" Martinez on Saturday, July 27 live on SHOWTIME from Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore.
Gamboa last fought in November 2018, when he dropped Miguel Beltran Jr. on his way to earning a unanimous decision in their 10-round fight. He took the momentum from that fight directly into camp for his matchup against Martinez.
"I feel great and I'm in the ideal condition for this fight," said Gamboa. "It helped immensely that I fought in November 2018 and went back to the gym in late January 2019. I started training camp for this fight in early May 2019 to get me in the best shape possible for Martinez.
"I have to be the best that I can be, and I know that I will be. The rest will take care of itself. I am not coming off a long layoff like I was in previous years, and I'm thankful to my team that put me in this position to get right back in the ring."
