Merah, who has compiled a 9-1-3, (2) record since
turning pro in 2010, won the UBO title in March
2013 with a victory over Germanys Steve Kroekel,
and successfully defended his crown last November
with a unanimous decision over Georgian Paata
Aduashvili.
Nicknamed “El Feo” (The Ugly!), Jose Carlos
Rodriguez is not travelling to France to win a
beauty pageant with technical boxing, and having
stopped eleven of his thirteen previous victims
(13-6-2, 11 KOs), his mission will undoubtedly be
to take matters out of the judges hands.

The man from Guadalajara started his pro career
in 2008 at Cruiserweight, and later fought at
Heavyweight, but he is now rededicated to the
sport and reportedly in better shape than ever.
In his latest outing, this past November, he
knocked out countryman Jorge Armando Martinez in
two rounds.
The Merah vs. Rodriguez UBO International Light
Heavyweight title fight will be promoted by
Robert Pantigny and Douai Boxing Club, and will
be the main event of a show that also features a
second title bout.
