Josh Torres to Defend WBC USNBC Title in Grants’ first boxing card since 1976
For the first time this century Grants, New Mexico will be hosting a boxing card when Chavez Promotions’ aptly titled ‘Fire and Ice: Fury’ card at the Fire and Ice Park Center of Downtown on Saturday, August 1.
Josh Torres to defend WBC USNBC title on Fire & Ice Fury boxing card which will take place in Grants, New Mexico Aug. 1.
The main event will see Super Lighweight WBC USNBC champion, Josh “Pitbull” Torres of Albuquerque defend the belt for the first time against Las Vegas, Nevada’s Cameron Kreal.
Despite Kreal’s record (7-7-2, 1KOs), he should not be overlooked. It is worth noting that five out of seven fighters the 23-year-old lost to, are still undefeated and are all considered prospects.
The 25-year-old Torres (14-3-2, 6KOs), undefeated in his last three bouts (2-0-1), looks to keep the title and with a string of wins could potentially jump into the WBC’s top-40 world rankings.
The rest of the card (seen below) features a slew of local talent.
