Guillermo Rigondeaux Defects, Signs With Arena Box

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

ARENA-CEO Ahmet Öner confirms that two-times Olympic gold medallist Guillermo Rigondeaux has finally defected from Cuba, has arrived in Miami, Florida, and signed with ARENA Box-Promotion. “It’s true”, says Öner. “Our director of boxing operations in the USA, Luis DeCubas, has met Rigondeaux in Miami. Obviously, we are excited that this extraordinarily gifted athlete joins our team of Cuban world class boxers like Yuriorkis Gamboa, Erislandy Lara and Odlanier Solis. They will train together at our gym in Miami. We will announce everything else and answer questions on a press conference in Miami next week.”

Now Lara is already here and Rigondeaux will be fighting soon. Second try is a charm I guess.

Just got off the phone with his manager, I'm going to set up an interview for tomorrow or Wednesday. Apparently he went through Mexico with three other Cuban Olympians and is hanging out in Miami.
