Costa Mesa, CA: SOCA FIGHTS promoter Roy Englebrecht announced today the signing of undefeated light heavyweight Jamie “Casanova” Becerra to a promotional agreement. Becerra from Rancho Cucamonga is trained by former IBF-USBA Featherweight Champion Daniel Franco at the Warzone Boxing Club in Upland, California and is perfect in his young career at 5-0-1 with three knockouts.
“Jamie joins a long line of boxers who signed their first promotional contract with me and then when on to great things including fighting for world championships,” said promoter Roy Englebrecht. “He will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Sergio Mora, Seniesa Estrada, Mike Anchondo, Rhonda Luna, Librado Andrade, Alexander Flores, and even now the great young prospect Cain Sandoval. With Daniel Franco as his trainer and Kevin Sims as his manager, the sky is the limit.”
“Fight Club OC is the premier fight venue in Southern California and Roy and his staff are first class in every way, so it was an easy decision for me to sign with them.” said Becerra. “I have invested in myself to become the best and today I signed with the best. Thank you SOCA Fights and now time to rock out.”
“Jamie is the type of athlete we look for when we sign fighters, and we don’t do it very often. Our business plan which has allowed us to stay in business for 30 years is simple. Sign local fighters….who have potential….who are good ticket sellers and develop them. We then are thrilled when they sign with Top Rank, Golden Boy, PBC, or 360 Promotions who will give them broadcast exposure that we can’t, and who will take them to the next level.”
Becerra, 25 and a graduate of Etiwanda High School, will have his first bout under the SOCA Fights banner on the June 20th Fight Club OC show. More information and tickets are at www.socafights.com.
