Caloy “The Bad Boy” Baduria will definitely retire whatever happens in his middleweight bout against unbeaten Mariano “The Hitman” Jones in Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) 86 on Tuesday, July 4, at the Palace in Xylo in BGC.
But the 43-year-old fighter from Northern Samar promised to make his last fight a memorable one, claiming he’s ready and confident against the young Costa Rican warrior.
“This will be my last fight and I want a good experience out of it. It’s another challenge for me. But win or lose, I will be retiring for good,” Baduria said during the URCC 86 fight news conference held recently in BGC.
Baduria, who has been competing since 2003, holds an 11-6-1 win-loss-draw record with 9 knockouts.
Jones is undefeated in two fights, including a knockout and one by submission.
