“Diamante” Mijares (58-8-2, 26 KOs) fought here on November 15, 2014, when he defeated to the Nicaraguan Lester Medrano to win the WBC International Silver featherweight title.
Champion and challenger are knuckling down in Spartan training camps. The champion is determined to defeat a more than capable, savvy and wily rival of extensive experience, further spurred on by the certain knowledge that this is his final opportunity to win another world title.
