Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico – After a debut in Puerto Rican professional boxing on October 7 before a full house at the Rubén Zayas Coliseo in Trujillo Alto, promotional company ‘La 22 Sports’ will celebrate the second edition of its series ‘La 22 Sports: The Next Generation’, which will take shape on Saturday, February 3, on the same Rubén Zayas field in the aforementioned municipality.
“The support we received in our first edition was a success because we were able to unite everything needed, that is, quality of the fights, scenery, logistics of excellence to create a family atmosphere and the long-term commitment to leave a great mark on boxing,” said Omar Santa Rosa, executive director of La 22 Sports.
