Richard Torrez Jr, with a record of 5 wins and 5 knockouts, has had to pull out of his homecoming fight on March 25th, 2023, against Willie Jake Jr.
The reason for his withdrawal is an injury sustained during training. It is anticipated that the left-handed boxer, who is 23 years old, will make a comeback during the summer.
