Willard native B.J. Flores, WBO’s fourth-ranked cruiserweight boxer has signed a deal with boxing promoter/American sports icon Don King, according to Wes Slay Promotions. Flores beat Nick Ianuzzi, at O’Reilly Family Event Center at Drury, by TKO in July. Flores announced last week that he will fight in SGF again on October 15, a fight that (if he wins) should land him a title fight in early 2012 (hence getting involved with Don King). Slay says King will be in attendance at the October fight, though it’s still unknown who Flores will face. Tickets go on sale tomorrow through the Drury Box Office.
