Joseph Diaz Jr. Headlines at Commerce Casino



Former World Champion Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr. (33-4-1, 15 KOs) of South El Monte returns to the ring as he takes on “Ricky” Perez (24-5, 18 KOs) of Tijuana, Mexico. Diaz squares off against Perez on Thursday February 15 at The Commerce Casino & Hotel live on DAZN.


“I am excited to let the boxing world know I’m back on track,” said Joseph “JoJo” Diaz. “My comeback continues on February 15. After this, I want all the top guys.”


“I would like to thank Golden Boy and my promoter Paco Damian for believing in me and giving me this great opportunity,” said Jesus Perez. “I know how important this fight is for me, a win over JoJo Diaz would open many great opportunities. I am working extremely hard to put on a great performance. One thing for sure, the fans are going to get their money’s worth. It is going to be a war!”


“Throughout his career, JoJo has defied the odds — competing at the Olympics, defeating undefeated fighters, and winning a world championship,” said Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya. “Now he is taking his second step back towards title contention, and I see the renewed focus in his eyes as he takes one more run at championship glory.”
