ith a big fight staring him in the face, Frank De Alba is not looking past Jesus Lule This Friday night, November 20 as King’s Promotions will present a big night of professional boxing at the 2300 Arena in South Philadelphia.
De Alba of Reading, PA has a record of 16-1-2 with six knockouts and has won 14 straight bouts and is unbeaten in his last 16. Lule of Fort Myers, Florida has a record of 7-14-1 with 1 knockout.
“Everything is great. My weight is good and I am just waiting for Friday,”said De Alba.
“I know Lule has fought a lot of prospects and contenders. He is a tough Mexican and I won’t underestimate him. I trained for this fight 100% as I look at him like I would s if he was an undefeated fighter.”
That line of thinking will come in handy as with a win, De Alba is penciled in to fight undefeated prospect Omar Douglas on December 29th.
De Alba and Douglas were scheduled to fight on August 1st, but a last second medical issue arose for De Alba and the fight had to be postponed.
“I am a positive guy, but I was disappointed. I lost a big opportunity, but I felt that the fight was not meant to be on that date I guess. I just stayed positive and got right back in the gym as soon as possible. If everything goes well, then December 29 is the date that me and Omar will fight. I am certainly not looking past Friday. I just want everyone to come out and see a great fight on Friday.”
In a 6-round Super Middleweight bout, Antowyan Aikens (10-0, 1 KO) of Atlantic City, NJ will take on Tahir Thomas (4-0, 3 KO’s) of Salisbury, MD as the lead fight on the undercard.
