Riding an eleven fight winning streak
and training hard in his hometown of Bakersfield CA, WBC
CABOFE Heavyweight champion, Manuel Quezada (25-4, 15 KO's)
prepares to defend his title against Teke "African Prince"
Oruh (14-1-1, 6 KO's), set to take place June 5, 2008 at the
HP Pavilion in San Jose.
With
four weeks left, Quezada who headlines the main event at the
"American Metal & Iron Fight Night at the Tank" plans on
moving camp to southern California to train at Joe Goossen's
gym in Van Nuys CA. Undefeated heavyweight contender Malik
Scott (30-0, 10 KO's) will provide Quezada with great sparring
as they both have plans to take charge of the division.
"Right now camp is going great. I'm mentally and physically
prepared to go the distance if I have to." said Quezada, "Teke
is a good fighter, but I believe my experience will be the key
to victory. Malik Scott is a world class fighter that I'll be
getting good work with. One thing I know for sure, I'm going
to leave it all in the ring come fight night."
