YORK (April 13, 2011) – New York State welterweight champion Daniel “The Hudson Valley Kid” Sostre extended his unbeaten streak to
10 after fighting to an eight-round draw last Thursday with hometown favorite
Damian “Divo” Frias in Miami.
Sostre
(11-3-1, 4 KOs), the newest member of Boxing 360’s growing stable of fighters,
took the fight on late notice and fought WBC FECARBOX light welterweight
champion Frias (16-4-1, 7 KOs) in his backyard. It marked Sostre’s first fight
in 12 months and the Puerto Rico native, now living in Manhattan, hasn’t lost in
four years.
“I’ve
known him for a long time,” Boxing 360 Director of Boxing Bob Duffy talked about
Sostre. “He spoke to us about promoting him and we worked out a deal. Fighting a
draw on last minute notice against a hometown fighter, considering he hadn’t
fought in a year, was a big positive. He always gives his best and never says no
to a challenge. He’s defended his NY State title three times. He wants to prove
that, with time to train properly, he belongs with anybody in his
division.”
Sostre
captured the NY State title in 2009 via a majority eight-round decision against
Mike Ruiz, followed by successful title defenses against Tommy Rainone (DEC8),
Frank Houghtaling (TKO6) and Jay Krupp (DEC8).
Other
members of Boxing 360’s stable include USBA heavyweight champion Maurice
“Sugar
Moe” Harris, former IBF super middleweight champion Alejandro “Naco” Berrio,
WBC
No. 3 super bantamweight Leon “Hurry Up” Moore, NY State super middleweight
title-holder Lennox “2 Sharpe” Allen, KO king Tyrone Brunson, Nick “Hands of
Gold” Casal, Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano, middleweight prospect DonYil
Livingston, Joshua “The Juice” Harris, Emad Ali, Angel “Toro” Hernandez and
“King” David Estrada.
