“Mini PacMan” Rosa will expose world title against Ortega

Dominican Erick “Mini PacMan” Rosa will defend his title as the regular minimum weight champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA) against Panamanian Carlos “Arañita” Ortega as part of a card scheduled for July 15 in Santo Domingo. .

Belgium Peña, president of the Dominican promoter Shuan Boxing, reported that the title fight will be the star of an event that includes several fights for regional titles and will take place in the Fencing Pavilion of the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center.

“Mini PacMan” Rosa became world champion on December 21 of last year, when he defeated Filipino Víctor “Vic” Saludar by unanimous decision in Santo Domingo.

Against the Panamanian “Arañita” Ortega, the Dominican will make the first defense of his belt, the one he won against the Filipino Saludar, whom the forecasts gave as the sure winner.

“It will be a tough fight for our Erick Rosa, but he is the world champion and in his short career he has shown that he is a world boxing phenomenon,” said Peña, whose company is in charge of organizing the fight card.

“Mini PacMan” Rosa has an immaculate 5-0 record and is currently the only professional boxer from the Dominican Republic to hold a world belt.

Before winning the WBA regular belt, Rosa had won an interim world title from the same organization and became the first American boxer to win a universal title with five or fewer professional fights and the fourth in the world.

“Arañita” Ortega, the Panamanian who will face the Dominican, is a world ranked silver champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC).
