A card has been set on down for Puerto Rican soil, on Friday, December 3, at the Rafael G. Amalbert Coliseum in Juncos.
“With great enthusiasm we are announcing the return of boxing to Puerto Rico,” said the President of Universal Promotions, Javier Bustillo.
“There has been complicated months, trying to find a way to re-present the boxing cards and give a workshop to all these talented athletes, but the pandemic prevented us. In this event we are coming with all of the necessary health protocols, ready to present an exciting world-class night. Once again, we are counting on the great support of the mayor of Juncos, Alfredo “Papo” Alejandro, who did not hesitate to accept our proposal and bring this event to his city.”

Meanwhile, in the co-feature of the night, former WBA featherweight world champion from Cagueño, Jesus Rojas (27-3-2, 20KO’s), will make his long-awaited return to the ring
