FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA, PA \/ ORANGE, CA–February 21, 2020\u00a0–\u00a0Undefeated featherweight\u00a0Ruben Villa<\/strong>\u00a0is now ranked #9 by Ring Magazine.<\/p>\n

Villa (18-0, 5 KOs) of Salinas, California is just three weeks removed from an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Alexei Collado in a bout that headlined a ShoBox: The New Generation card in Shreveport, Louisiana.\u00a0With the win, Villa\u00a0successfully\u00a0defended his WBO International title.<\/p>\n

In that bout, Villa was dominant throughout and displayed a diverse arsenal of punches that were very effective in decisively out-punching the offensive-minded Collado.
\nThe ranking from the heralded magazine adds to his world rankings of #5 by the WBO and #13 by the WBC.<\/p>\n

“I was just surprised to get the recognition that I deserve.\u00a0It’s been tough, but its finally starting to payoff. I am trying to get better with each fight, and the people were happy. That the last fight against Collado meant a lot and opened up many doors,” said Villa.<\/p>\n

“Being recognized in the top 10 by Ring Magazine solidifies and validates Ruben of graduating from top-prospect to bona fide contender.\u00a0In his next bout, we are looking for Ruben to really make a statement\u00a0and face another world-ranked opponent, in order to put him in position to fight for a world title,” said Banner Promotions President, Artie Pelullo.<\/p>\n

“The rise of Ruben Villa has been gaining momentum since the world got to see him on Showtime last year.\u00a0A world title bout is in his immediate future, and it’s great to see the media, like Ring Magazine, recognizing his accomplishments.” stated Ken Thompson, CEO of Thompson Boxing Promotions.
