PUERTO RICAN star Thomas Dulorme, 21-1 (14), is available to face current WBO welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao in November, as it seems that Chris Algieri, current WBO light-welterweight champion, may not fight Pacquiao because of money issues.
“I’m available and willing to fight the best,” said Dulorme, who currently at 140 pounds is ranked No.2 by the WBA, No.3 by the WBC, No.4 by the IBF, and No.8 in the WBO.
“Manny Pacquiao may still be looking for a opponent in November, and if that’s the case, I’m ready. I was supposed to fight Ruslan Provodnikov but I was rejected by his team, and they instead accepted the Algieri bout. I will keep training hard in Oxnard with my trainer Robert Garcia, who believes in my talent, and we’re hoping for a great opportunity to show the boxing world what I’m made of.”
“Dulorme is well deserving of a Pacquiao fight being that he is highly ranked across the board,” said Gary Shaw. “Pacquiao vs. Dulorme would be a sensational bout that the fans would love to see. I know Dulorme is up for the challenge so we’ll see what we can do to make it happen.”
