Demetrius Andrade ready for WBC super welterweight tournament

GENERAL 13 de noviembre de 2015 LU17
PROVIDENCE (November 12, 2015) - Undefeated super welterweight contenderDemetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade (22-0, 15 KOs) is ready to participate in the proposed World Boxing Council (WBC) 154-pound division tournament to determine its successor for retired Floyd Mayweather, Jr.  

 

A 2008 U.S. Olympian and 2007 AIBA World Championships gold medalist, Andrade is also a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) super welterweight champion, who was stripped of his title earlier this year due to inactivity.

 


The 27-year-old southpaw from Providence snapped a 16-month hiatus from the ring last month, stopping former South American champion Dario Fabian "El Gallo" Pucheta (20-3, 11 KOs) in the second round for the vacant WBO International super welterweight championship.  Ineligible to be world ranked during his stretch as WBO champion and then inactivity, Andrade is now rated No. 3 by the WBC, as well as No. 4 by the WBO.

 


"I'm happy to be rated No. 3 by the WBC and will be honored to participate in its tournament," Andrade said.  "Hopefully, (JermellCharlo and (AustinTrout will agree to fight in the tournament, so everyone will finally know who No. 1 in the 154-pound division is.  I'm ready to prove myself again and I hope they step up to the challenge, too."
