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.
