Press Release: IBF bantamweight champion Yohnny Perez (20-0) signed a managerial contract with Frank Espinoza this morning in front of officials from the California State Athletic Commission. “I’m proud to be part of the Espinoza Boxing family,” stated Perez, a Colombian fighting out of L.A. “I truly believe he’ll take my career to the next level.” Espinoza commented, “Yohnny has demonstrated world class abilities and heart,” he said. “He’s a true warrior in every sense of the word. The future is only going to get better and brighter for Yohnny.
