LAS VEGAS (August 20, 2010)—Undefeated and world ranked cruiserweight BJ Flores is now a promotional free agent after his contract with Florida based company Square Ring Inc. has run out.
Flores of Las Vegas has been off for over a year and has a record of 24-0-1 with fifteen knockouts has not fought since scoring a fourth round stoppage over Epifanio Mendoza on August 15, 2009 in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Flores now will look forward to a new beginning and remains firmly on track to winning the cruiserweight championship of the world.
“I am looking forward to dealing directly with the promoters of all the champions and top contenders. It will be a lot easier to make deals directly”, said Flores.
“Just because I have not had a fight in a year, it doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy. I have been in cam with John Ruiz, David Haye and Chad Dawson and that has kept me beyond sharp. I am chomping at the bit to get one of the champions..”
“This last year has given me a chance to focus on power and strength. Becoming more explosive and powerful is necessary to become a world champion today. People will be surprised in my next fight.”
“I want to thank my manager Jerry Guliani for all the calls and emails he has put out over the past few days. I have no doubt he will secure a big fight for me very quickly.”
Flores has been training under the watchful eye of Jacob Chavez and strength and condition coach Ray Franklin.
“We are all excited about having an opportunity to put feelers out ourselves for the next opportunity”, said Chavez.
“BJ has been training really hard and he is in great shape. He is prepared to fight anybody and we want all of the champs and legitimate undefeated contenders. We know he is the best cruiserweight in the world.”
“This is a new phase in BJ’s career. He is way stronger and more powerful than ever before and we want him in the ring immediately. We have put any problems in the past behind us and this is a new chapter for us. BJ has not taken any breaks and works out every day like he has a giant chip on his shoulder. He is on a mission right now and his next opponent will be in for a rude awakening”, said Chavez
Franklin agrees and keeps fans up to speed on how Flores is progressing.
“He has a new found level of power and when you mix in the speed and ferocity, BJ is looking like what a world champion should look like.” said Franklin.
“We are looking forward to getting it on with anybody. All we need is just a reasonable time frame and not only will BJ win but he will do so in stunning fashion. He impresses everybody more and more everyday”.
