Canelo's sparring partner, former WBA international welterweight belt holder Francisco "Chia" Santana (23-4-1), has sign an exclusive managerial agreement with two time manager of the year Frank Espinoza. The highly regarded and respected manager has big plans for his new fighter who fights under the Top Rank promotional banner.
"We're very happy and excited to sign Francisco Santana, he is a terrific young man, he is a hard worker and that fits exactly to Espinoza Boxing Club philosophy, and I'm sure that he will shine because ha has a bright future in front of him. The signing of our fighters is very important to us, we take it seriously and we believe Santana has the talent to go far," said Mr. Espinoza
In his most significant bout, Santana lost a ten round decision to Sadam Ali in Madison Square Garden in New York, but has been on the road back and is one of the hottest prospects in boxing and now with Frank Espinoza by his side they are looking to win a title in the near future.
