Gibson-Hernandez to co-main Fox Sports 1 August 7

Rising junior welterweight star KeAndre Gibson, fighting out of Austin, Texas, will take a trip to Corpus Christi on Thursday, August 7, when he squares off with Fort Worth's Jose Hernandez in the eight-round co-main event of FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes' Golden Boy Live! at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.

 

In the previously announced main event, Jerry "The Corpus Christi Kid" Belmontes will return to his hometown to face Puerto Rico's Abner "Pin" Cotto in a 10-round junior lightweight bout. Plus, several Texas standouts, including Oscar Cantu, Joseph Rios, Jairo Castaneda, Marty Gutierrez, Robert Vela, Ernesto Reyna, Julian Gilden and Jeremy Longoria will be in action on this stacked card.

 

Coming fresh off of a spectacular fourth round knockout over John Nater in May, 24-year-old KeAndre Gibson (10-0-1, 3 KOs) will be fighting in front of his Texas fans once again when he battles Jose Hernandez. A versatile prospect that many believe will be ruling the junior welterweight division one day, Gibson has won three of his last five fights by knockout and he'll be bringing the thunder again in Corpus Christi.
