Former world champion Juan Carlos Payano is the latest addition to the sensational Season II bantamweight line-up.

*“I am very happy to join the tournament, ecstatic to be very honest. Looking forward to regaining my championship positions,”* said Payano.

*“It is great to see the best fighting the best and in the end being recognised as truly the best in the division.”*

34-year-old Payano (20-1, 9 KOs) of La Vega, Dominican Republic is a former WBA and IBO bantamweight world champion and believes he will be a dominant figure in the World Boxing Super Series.

The southpaw nicknamed ‘Baby Pacquiao’ is on a mission: *“I want to be recognized as the undisputed best. I want to prove that I am the best!”*

*“The bantamweight tournament will be nothing but exceptional,”* said Comosa’s Chief Boxing Officer, Kalle Sauerland. *“Payano is a former champion, an experienced fighter guaranteeing fast-paced action. He is another great addition to a star-studded Season II of the World Boxing Super Series.”*
