“Rey” pledges lightning strike on Jay

World Boxing Council flyweight champion, Julio César “Rey” Martínez, will defend his crown against Welsh wizard  Jay Harris, in Frisco, Texas, this Saturday, with live broadcast by DAZN in the United States and in Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.

“Rey” Martinez has done a strenuous preparation in San Diego, California, in the gymnasium of the “Canelo” Alvarez, carefully supervised by his coach Mauricio Aceves and his representative Eddy Reynoso.

This will be the first defense of the world title Rey  won by defeating Nicaraguan Cristofer Rosales and he`s OK with the fact that Harris will be his third opponent from the UK.

Harris (17-0 9 KOs) is an undefeated Welshman who comes from a great victory. The 29-year-old fighter traveled to Belfast last October and defeated thrice Olympian Paddy Barnes in four rounds, so he`s ready to contest the WBC world title.
