REDWOOD CITY, California — “I am anxious to return to the ring!” stated Bruno Escalante of this city by way of Cebu, Philippines. “I have been training hard since my hand has been cleared by the doctor and I am ready to put it to the test.”
Bruno “Aloha Kid” Escalante 13-1-1 (6 KO) will return to the ring on Saturday, August 1, after over year layoff due to injury of his right hand. He will fight an opponent to be announced.
In his fight last April 5, 2014 at Cache Creek Casino Resort against Victor Ruiz, who was 14-2 (10 KO) at the time of the fight, Escalante defended his IBA Bantamweight Title for seven brave rounds with a broken right hand, and he still went on to win a unanimous decision over Ruiz.
After two surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy, Escalante is ready to return to the ring. “I have a lot of catching up to do! Can’t wait to be back and pick up where I left off,” Escalante said.
