Sullivan Barrera willing to put undefeated record on the line
Hard hitting Cuban light heavyweight Sullivan Barrera (15-0) is growing frustrated by his inability to land a top level opponent. The former amateur standout is willing to put his unblemished record on the line against any of the top contenders in his division.
“I’m losing my patience trying to get a big fight. I know my manager and my promoter Main Events are doing their best and are keeping me busy but I want to make my move this year,” said Barrera.
Barrera’s team has tried to get him fights with other undefeated light heavyweights and too prospects with no success.
Here are a few examples: He challenged Seanie Monaghan on Twitter and both Monaghan and his promoter publicly acknowledged they were willing to make the fight but then went silent.
Thomas Williams is another top light heavyweight contender that we also challenged on Twitter. He said he wanted to fight but later on he said, “contact Al Haymon, he handles all my business.”
The 33-year-old feels that he just needs one fight against an upper level opponent to be ready for a title shot.
“Look, us Cuban fighters, have a lot of amateur experience so we don’t need a lot of seasoning. Give me one top 20 guy and I’m ready for a title.
“Watch my fights. I can box but I like to bang and mix it up. I came up through the Cuban school of boxing but my trainer Abel Sanchez has made my style more crowd pleasing. All of my Cubans, the Mexicans, and the rest my fellow Latinos will enjoy my style. I fight for the fans. I just need the opportunity to showcase my skills,” Barrera explained.
