Emanuel Navarrete is always in tremendous action fights, and Eduardo Baez is the type of opponent who will stand in the center of the ring. Santillan is a fantastic young man who drew plenty of support from the local fans last time he fought here.

Santillan said, “I didn’t know when I’d be back fighting in San Diego, so when I heard the news, I was ecstatic.

I’d love to fight for a world title, and defend my belt, in my hometown.” Ali Walsh said, “Despite winning our last fight, I feel like I must set the record straight with Reyes Sanchez. He’s the only opponent I haven’t knocked out, and I don’t see the rematch going the distance. Kay Koroma has already added so much to my arsenal, and I can’t wait to perform.”
