Rising heavyweights Richard Torrez Jr. and Guido “The Gladiator” Vianello will clash in a high-stakes 10-round main event on Saturday, April 5 at Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Torrez (12-0, 11 KOs), who hails from the farming community of Tulare, California, captured Olympic silver in the super heavyweight division in Tokyo. A southpaw volume puncher, he turned pro the following March with a second-round stoppage of Allen Melson. Torrez, a high school valedictorian who builds model rockets in his spare time, has since rocketed from prospect to contender. Last May, he dismantled fellow unbeaten Brandon Moore in five rounds. His knockout streak ended last September after Joey Dawejko was disqualified for repeatedly spitting out his mouthpiece. Torrez got back on the knockout train in December with a third-round blitzing of Mexico’s Issac Munoz.
