Eduardo ‘Rocky’ Hernandez makes his return to the ring against Daniel Lugo at Palenque de la Féria National de San Marcos in Aguascalientes, Mexico on Saturday May 11, live worldwide on DAZN, with Erika Cruz defending her WBA world super-bantamweight title against Nazarena Romero.
Hernandez (34-2 31 KOs) was part of one of the fights of the year in October when he took on O’Shaquie Foster for the WBC world super-featherweight title, falling agonizingly short in Cancun after an incredible 11th round led to a final-round stoppage win for defending champion Foster, with Hernandez ahead on the cards.
The 26-year-old will be determined to return to winning ways as he plots a path towards another shot at world honours, but Lugo (27-2-1 18 KOs) has his own plans to gatecrash the party at 130lbs, and facing Rocky in an all-Mexican battle over 12 rounds live on DAZN represents the biggest night of the 29-year-old’s career.
“People have been counting me out since my loss,” said Hernandez. “On May 11, I will make a statement – ‘Rocky Never Left’.”
