ROY JONES JR. BOXING SIGNS MEXICAN-AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT ALEXANDER FLORES

Las Vegas, NV (March 9, 2018) – Roy Jones Jr. Boxing signs Alexander “The Great” Flores

Clearly inactivity hasn’t plagued Alexander “The Great” Flores (16-1-1, 14KO) from keeping his dreams alive. Signed, sealed and delivered, Alexander, his manager & trainer Michael Love and Keith Veltre came to terms last week and Alexander was officially added to the RJJ stable.

“My team and I have watched RJJ over the past two years and like what we see. They have moved their fighters in position to challenge for world titles,” stated Michael Love, Manager/ Trainer. “Seeing the work they have done with beIN SPORTS and the direction they have gone in regards to televised boxing is something to be excited about. Guy Taylor and I have stayed in contact since the beginning of Alex’s career and I believe Keith Veltre has the business model that will help excel RJJ.”

Flores 1st stepped into a boxing gym weighing in at over 300lbs at the age of 14yrs. Suffering from being overweight, being bullied and being unhealthy, Flores realized once he stepped into that boxing gym, he had found his utopia and he never left. Reaching his goal weight, and his potential skills, Flores decided that boxing was the legacy he wanted capitalize on, so he has.

Flores is described as having a middle weight mentality in a heavyweight body, add in the incredible head motion and you have yourself a very active full work fighter.

“I was honored when my team told me that RJJ was interested in adding me their stable,” said Alexander Flores. “They are taking the boxing world by storm and I am ready to ride it with them and honored to be a part of it.” I know they have great things in store for me and I can not wait to fight under the RJJ banner and show the world why RJJ made the right choice”

Flores’s only loss came to former IBF Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin (25-1-1, 23KOs) back on April 16, 2014 in Santa Monica, CA. Since then, inactivity plagued the once top California contender in recent years, having only fought four times in four years. Flores last bout was on February 23, 2017, with a KO1 over former Mexican Heavyweight Champion, Jorge Leal (14-8-1, 13Kos) in Tijuana, MX.

“First look at Alex’s tapes I knew he would enhance our stable immensely,” stated Keith Veltre, CEO & Co-Founder of Roy Jones Jr. Boxing “The movement, passion and dedication to his career was no brainer to Roy and I. We were honored that he signed with us, and I know he will not disappoint.”

The 27yr old trains at Elite Boxing located in Victorville, CA and is trained / managed by Michael Love.
