Wright is looking to return to prominence after a tough loss to Paul Williams in April, while the season two "The Contender" winner Brewer looks to emerge victorious against a bonafied Hall of Famer and arguably the toughest opponent he has faced.
"Just like Columbus discovered Puerto Rico hundreds of years ago, December 11 will be the day that I discover victory once again and show the world that I am still one of the best fighters in the sport today," said Wright. "I feel great, and I'm ready for a hard fight. Brewer is coming in with high hopes. I'm preparing to deflate those hopes on fight night."
"When I meet Winky, it's going to be a battle," said Brewer. "Unlike Columbus who took Puerto Rico without a fight, Winky should expect a war on fight night."
Discovery of Puerto Rico Day has recently become a prominent holiday in Boricua culture, since the infamous explorer landed there over five-hundred years ago. It is celebrated throughout the country, as well as in New York City which has a thriving Puerto Rican community, with parades, music, dancing, games, elaborate costumes and dynamite cuisine.
