The boxer from Austin, Texas made his debut in 2020 with a knockout and recently won by disqualification against Esteuri Suero. “I am beyond excited for my return to the ring as the official main event, and to show the world what I’ve been working on,” said the Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield Jr.
Floyd Schofield has a clear goal: to become a world champion.
For his part, Girón, with a record of 20-3 (13 KOs), is determined to surprise. “I’m so excited about this fight, like none other so far in my career.” He added, “I will win, my preparation is always great,” declared the Mexican, who comes off a knockout victory over Alex Dilmaghani.
Oscar De La Hoya, from Golden Boy Promotions, highlighted that Floyd Schofield always seeks the knockout but warned that Tellez Girón has never been knocked out, making this fight a real test.
“Everyone knows that Schofield goes for the KO every time, but Girón has never been knocked out,” said De La Hoya.
