Dominican featherweight Claudio Marrero is ready for the best fighters of his class. “I’m prepared to face and beat the best opponents in the featherweight division.” The boxer is scheduled to rise to the ring on Friday November 30th at The BB&T Center in Florida vs TBA in the “BEAT DOWN” card presented by Acquinity Sports.

Marrero, #3 in the WBA rankings and the Latin champion with record of 13-0-0 (10 KO's), defeated Mexico's Juan José Beltrán on July 21 by knockout in three rounds to secure the vacant WBA Latin title.

Henry Rivalta, promoter for Acquinity Sports, has a lot of confidence in Marrero.

“I am sure that Claudio will be fighting against the best with a very enormous chance of defeating anyone,” said Rivalta.
