Julius “JuJu” Ballo is back in the ring on October 10 when he faces Carlos Torres at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, CA. The featherweight contest headlines the fight card titled “Champions of Tomorrow.”
- San Diego’s 23-year-old Ballo (4-0) comes off a unanimous decision victory over Julian Gomez-Clemons on the undercard of Moore vs Jennings in August in Detroit.
- Corpus Christi-based Torres (6-6-1, 4 KOs) of Mexico was in action in September in Alice, Texas, fighting Alec McGee to a split draw.
“Fighting back in Southern California means a lot to me because I get to perform for the people who have supported me since the beginning,” Ballo said. “Coming off of the sold out Fox Theatre in Detroit, we are excited to put on a great show for the fans in Long Beach and move my professional record to 5-0.”
