Practically three years after parting methods with High Rank, tremendous light-weight contender Elvis Rodriguez has rejoined the promotion forward of a June twenty ninth return on the Teofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggett undercard.
“It actually feels nice to be again residence. I’ve at all times felt like a High Rank fighter,” Rodriguez mentioned. “High Rank made me a star, and they’re going to make me a champion. I’m trying ahead to June 29. Elvis will lastly be again within the constructing! It’s been an extended layoff, the longest of my profession, however I’m 100% centered on June 29.”
High Rank minimize bait in 2021 after Rodriguez (15-1-1, 13 KO) dropped a unanimous resolution to Kenneth Sims Jr, a loss that’s aged fairly effectively because of Sims’ ongoing success. Undeterred, he joined forces with PBC to rattle off 4 straight wins, the most recent of which saw him demolish Viktor Postol last July.
It’s good to see the eminently watchable Rodriguez land on his toes amid PBC’s turmoil and I’m certain High Rank is grateful to have one other credible challenger for Lopez ought to “The Takeover” emerge victorious and never pursue free company. We’ll deliver phrase as soon as we all know his opponent.
