Legendary Roberto Duran Will Meet The Press Sunday To Discuss May 2 Pro-Boxing Show In Miami
(Press Release)The Legendary 5-time world champion and 2007 Boxing Hall of Fame inductee to meet the press Sunday to discuss May 2 Miami pro boxing show at Mahi Temple.
Roberto Duran of DRL Promotions will meet with the media at 2 pm Sunday at the Grove Isle Hotel in Coconut Grove to discuss his May 2 boxing promotion at the Mahi Temple. Duran, with longtime partner Luis DeCubas of DRL Promotions, along with Marcos Socorro’s Florida Boxing Promotions, features former jr. middleweight champion Luis Ramon “Yory Boy” Campas meeting Miami’s Eromosele Albert in the 10-round main event, with the co-feature tabbing heavyweights Fres Oquendo of Puerto Rico and Damien Norris of Cuba fighting for the WBC Latin Heavyweight Title.
“I am very happy to bring this show to Miami, my home away from home,” says Duran, who lives in Panama City, but often spent time in Miami training for his U.S. fights. “I fought in the Mahi Temple in 1996 and it’s a great place for boxing. I plan on bringing the best Latin talent to Miami and this show will be a great start,” says Duran.
Duran will not only be celebrating a homecoming in returning to Miami, but he will also be feted for his induction this June into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Duran, retired for five years, was a unanimous first-vote inductee to 2007’s Hall of Fame class.
A final press conference, featuring the May 2 talent, will be held Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Grove Isle, followed by the event’s weigh-in at the hotel at 5 p.m. Campas, Oquendo and Norris will be available for one-on-one interviews after their arrivals in Miami on Monday.

Carlos Molina: 'Julio Chavez, Jr., Do You Want to Fight?'
Press Release
Carlos Molina, ready and willing to get it on with Julio Caesar Chavez's son
Julio Chavez Jr called Carlos Molina out for an April fight but the deal never got done.
Carlos is willing to fight Chavez Jr in Chicago in August on the David Diaz vs. Erik Morales undercard. We have offered the fight to Chavez's Promoter, but they didnt seem like they wanted that fight in Chicago. They took an easier fight to pass Carlos by in the April fight for an easy KO.
Everyone knows Carlos beat Chavez Jr already, anyway. Chavez Jr wont fight Carlos in his home town like Carlos faught Chavez Jr. in Vegas and Mexico. We are not sure why Chavez Jr. wont fight Carlos again after calling him out.
Julio, do you want to fight or not?
