Las Vegas-based cruiserweight contender BJ “El Peligroso” Flores (30-1-1, 19 KOs) has it all as a boxer, minus one important thing.
An articulate and intelligent man with smooth on-camera delivery, Flores does excellent work in his regular role as a color commentator for NBC-televised boxing. As a fighter, he is clean-living and devoted to his craft, with a wealth of skills, an extensive list of regional championships won, and a work ethic in the gym that few can rival.
The fact is BJ Flores could become an excellent ambassador for the sport of boxing if someone would just give him that one more thing… a chance at a world title.
Flores will face Saint Louis, Missouri’s Kevin Engel (20-10, 16 KOs) this Wednesday, October 8, at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, in Biloxi, Mississippi, on the undercard of IBF middleweight champion “King” Sam Soliman (44-11, 18 KOs) defending against former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor (32-4-1, 20 KOs).
Presented by DiBella Entertainment and Warriors Boxing, in association with Soliman Stanley Promotions, and broadcast live on a special presentation of ESPN Wednesday Night Fights (9 pm EST/8 pm CT), the night of boxing will also feature 2004 Olympic Bronze Medallist and WBC #9 contender Andre Dirrell (22-1, 15 KOs) taking on Albany, New York’s Nick Brinson (16-2-2, 6 KOs) in the 10-round light heavyweight co-main event.
