Moises Flores (born November 17, 1986) is a Mexican professional boxer and is the current WBA interim Super bantamweight champion.

Biography

Moises “Chucky” Flores learned the fight game growing up in Guadalajara, Mexico, and spent the early years of his professional career building up his résumé in his home country. Now established as a title contender at 122 pounds, Flores looks to climb to the top of the division with his considerable talent.

Professional Career

Flores made his pro debut in August 2008 with a second-round KO of Oswaldo Salgado in Guadalajara. He fought exclusively in Mexico over the first six years of his career, and made quick work of most of his opponents.

Flores made his U.S. debut in September 2014, winning a six-round unanimous decision over Pablo Batres in Mesquite, Texas. He then gained a seventh-round TKO of Mexican veteran Mario Macias in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in November 2014.

That victory set up a 122-pound title shot against interim champion Oscar Escandon in Carson, California, in April 2015. In an electrifying, all-action brawl, Flores earned a split decision to win the title.

“This is a dream come true—more than a dream come true—for me,” Flores said after the fight. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory.”

Now, he’s looking for many more to come.
