Atlantic City, NJ (July 9, 2022)–Tonight at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, featherweight Edward Vazquez will take on Jose Argel in the main event at The 2300 Arena.

Vazquez of Fort Worth, Texas has a record of 11-1 with three knockouts. The 26 year-old featherweight is a six-year professional who won his first 11 fights.

Those 11 wins were highlighted with victories over Brandon Arvie (11-0), Brandon Cruz (6-0), Adan Ochoa (11-1) and Irvin Gonzalez (14-2). In his last bout, Vazquez was on the wrong end of a very controversial decision as Raymond Ford was awarded a split-decision on February 5th in Phoenix, Arizona.

He has taken on three consecutive undefeated opponents. His last fight he lost to decorated prospect Haven Brady Jr. on March 26th in Las Vegas.
