“I’m excited to be fighting again in the USA because it will be televised around the America via CBS Sports Network,” said Dela Torre, who has been training for six months under Cuban trainer Moro Fernandez in Miami, Florida.
Dela Torre’s manager Jim Claude “JC” Manangquil is also already in Iowa to give support to his prized-fighter from General Santos City.
“Harmonito really needs a good performance on Friday. I’m excited to see the work they did over there,” said Manangquil.
Managquil said that the 22-year old dela Torre is already 100 percent ready to fight.
