Greg Cohen (Greg Cohen Promotions)

The featured fight and co-feature could both be on HBO and Showtime and they should be wars.

Jundy Maraon (15-0-1, 12 KOs)

I want to thank my team. This is going to be a great fight.

 

Juan Carlos Payano (13-0, 7 KOs)

I know Jundy is powerful but I came to do my thing. My dream is to become champ and Maraon is in the way of my dream.

 

Nonito Donaire Sr. (Maraon Trainer)

It’s going to be a good fight. Hopefully Payano will engage with Maraon.

 

Henry Rivalta (Acquinity Sports, promoter of Payano)

Payano is dedicated like no other fighter I see. We respect Maraon very much, but I put my money on my guy. This will be one of the fights of the year.

 

Jorge “King” Diaz (17-1, 10 KOs)

I want to capitalize on this opportunity.

 

Yenifel Vicente (24-1-2, 16 KOs)

I come prepared for this fight. I have what it takes. I guarantee a war.

Antoine Douglas (7-0, 5 KOs)

Where I come from, we are bread fighters. This is a step for me. I will take pride in my victory.

Lavarn Harvell (12-0, 7 KOs)

I am ready for anything and my opponent better be ready too.

 

Gabe LaConte (Promoter of Lavarn Harvell)

The 1st time I saw Harvell fight, I knew he was a born fighter. He has heavy hands and fans should not get up for popcorn. I’ll never get a fighter as good as Harvell.
