ORLANDO, FL (October 15, 2024) – Boxlab Promotions' undefeated welterweight prospect Elijah Flores (9-0, 3 KOs) extended his perfect record with an impressive unanimous decision victory over Omar Rosario (13-2, 4 KOs). The bout, which took place this past Friday, October 11, 2024, at the Coliseo Roger Mendoza in Caguas, Puerto Rico, was part of MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 9 card, streamed live to boxing fans worldwide on DAZN.

“Defeating a dangerous fighter like Rosario in his hometown is a huge accomplishment for me,” said Flores. “I knew it would be a tough fight, but I came in prepared, and it feels great to get the win in front of such passionate fans. Fighting in Puerto Rico on DAZN was an amazing experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to showcase my skills on such a big platform.”
“Elijah’s win against Rosario is a testament to his commitment to always be prepared going into tough fights,” said Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions. “He went into a hostile environment against a very tough, skilled opponent and showed that he belongs at the top of the welterweight division.
