Omari Jones opponent Diego Osuna Zuniga is the man taking on the US prospect Jones this weekend.
But who is he?
Not many have heard of him but then again not many had heard of Rico before last week’s fight with Usyk either.
Zuniga is 9-0 and like Jones, an American prospect as well.
Some background on him for those new to boxing:
- Unbeaten 9-0 with 6 knockouts at super welterweight.
- Aggressive style with strong finishing power.
- Stepping in as replacement opponent.
- Orthodox fighter bringing volume and pressure.
- Local and regional success building his record.
- Provides durable and dangerous test for Jones.
- Motivated for upset against highly-touted prospect.
- Part of rising talent at the weight class.
- Brings pressure to challenge Jones’ boxing skills.
- Solid step-up fight without massive name value.
Zuniga has six knockouts from his nine wins and fights as a pro so far and at 5’11 he’s tall enough and can use range and should not be underestimated by Jones.
Here is the Omari Jones fight time this weekend.
