Tulare's Richard Torrez Jr set for next bout in Arizona August 12th

The Central Valley's own Richard Torrez Jr is set for his next fight on Saturday August 12th 2023. The U.S. Olympic silver medalist returns to Top Rank on ESPN from the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

Torrez Jr. will be taking on (11-3-2) Willie Jake Jr. who he was scheduled to fight earlier this year in Fresno. The fight was put on hold after Torrez suffered a torn oblique during training. With Torrez fully recovered, the two will finally meet August 12th.

Torrez is currently undefeated at 5-0 and recorded a highlight knockout in his last fight, dropping James Bryant with a vicious uppercut that made its rounds in the sports world highlights.

Indiana's Willie Jake Jr. is a seven year veteran and is coming in on a three fight win streak
