Richard Torrez Jr. is a rising star in the boxing world, with an impressive 13-0 record and 11 knockouts. At just 26 years old, he’s already ranked No. 4 in the world by the IBF and No. 11 by the WBC and WBO. But despite his success, Torrez remains humble, still idolizing the likes of Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, who he looked up to as a child. He’s ready to take on the best in the heavyweight division and prove himself as a household name in boxing.
In a recent interview with BoxingScene, Torrez expressed his confidence in his abilities and his desire to test himself against the division’s top fighters. He’s particularly interested in a potential fight with Moses Itauma, a 20-year-old southpaw with an identical record to his own. Torrez sees Itauma as a worthy opponent, and the two could create some big headlines if they cross paths in the ring.
However, Torrez also acknowledges the challenges that come with being a rising star in boxing. He’s aware of the expectations and the pressure to perform, but he remains focused on his goals and his journey to the top. As he continues to climb the ranks, Torrez is determined to make his mark in the sport and become a name that boxing fans around the world will recognize.
