The 24-year-old fighter from the Coachella Valley will return to the ring in Indio on Sept. 7.
On a humid afternoon in the Coachella Valley, the rough exhales and rapid footwork of the boxers at the Diaz Training Camp in Indio can be heard between the yells of two coaches providing feedback about the form and technique of boxers amid their training.
Among the trainees at the gym is super bantamweight fighter Manual “Gucci Manny” Flores, who will co-headline the card at the Golden Boy Boxing at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio on Thursday, Sept. 7. The main event will feature former Mexican Olympian and current North American Boxing Federation welterweight titleholder Raul “El Cugar” Curiel against Brooklyn, New York’s Courtney “BKNY” Pennington.
“Gucci Manny” Flores was undefeated with 15 wins, 11 of which were knockouts until his first professional loss in June against Walter Santibanes. Now, the 24-year-old fighter from the Coachella Valley is looking to redeem himself.Manuel ‘Gucci’ Flores poses for photo inside of Diaz Training Camp Tuesday. Aug 22 in Indio, CA. Flores is training here for his upcoming fight Sept 7.
Manuel ‘Gucci’ Flores has a career record of 15-1-0 with 11 knockouts. His only loss came during his last fight on June 8 against Walter Santibanes. “In my last fight, I was a little too comfortable,” he said. “With this next one, we’re resting, eating and doing everything right by the book. I want everyone to see that the last fight was an off day and that I am an A-class fighter.”
Flores began boxing at the age of 13 and was instantly attracted to the results of discipline and hard work. He also had support from his now 18-year-old cousin, Grant Flores, who joined him early on in training at a boxing gym. Grant will also be part of the fight card on Sept. 7.
