It was just a few weeks ago that highly regarded flyweight prospect, Joselito Velasquez, improved to 3-0 (3 KO's) by stopping the overmatched Rogelio Armenta in one round in Tijuana, Mexico.
So what's next for the representative of the 2016 Mexican Olympic team?
His manager, Frank Espinoza, tells BoxingScene.com - "right now we have two dates lined up for him, it will either be August 12th or August 16th in Mexico."
Early on Velasquez has shown why many considered him among the best pro prospects from the Mexican squad. Now Espinoza looks to situate him with a regular promoter.
"We're looking into different offers from various promoters, the interest is very high in Joselito because of his style and his marketability," said Espinoza, who also handles the career of WBO featherweight titlist, Oscar Valdez, WBO super bantamweight belt-holder, Jessie Magdaleno and junior welterweight contender, Antonio Orozco, among others.
"For the time being we're just going to keep Joselito active inside the ring and it's my job to find the best spot for him. I think I have another future world champion and I just want to him be focused on doing his job. But we'll make the best possible decision for him and go from there," stated Espinoza.
