Interim WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (23-1-1, 17KO) spent his 24th birthday with well wishers and members of this team in the gym as he prepares for his biggest challenge to date, current WBC lightweight champion Edwin Valero (26-0, 26KO) on February 6th in Monterrey, MX.
“I’ve made my wish and I hope it comes true on February 6th,” DeMarco stated as he blew out the candle regarding his birthday desire on Thursday.
The Valero-DeMarco twelve round bout will be for Valero’s full fledged version of the title. It is rumored the bout will be televised by Showtime although no official announcement has been made.
