\"29808c96-261f-4c96-8bf2-a31d98b03e61\"<\/a>Lightweight Carlos Rosario is ready for his headlining appearance this Friday night when he takes on Josh Davis in a bout scheduled for eight-rounds at the 2300 Arena in South Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The show is promoted by King’s Promotions. (1st bout 6:30 PM; Doors 6 PM)<\/p>\n

Rosario of Pennsauken, New Jersey, has a record of 7-1 with four knockouts, and has won seven consecutive since dropping his pro debut. <\/p>\n

“Everything is going great. I am just winding down, losing the last couple of pounds , and I will be ready on Friday, said Rosario on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

In Davis, he is fighting his toughest opponent, but 26 year-old Rosario is ready for for whatever the Washington, DC native will bring.<\/p>\n

“Even though he has an impressive record (10-1, 4 KO’s), I do not know a lot about him. His record is actually better then mine. I am fighting at home but I still feel that I am the underdog. I think this is a fight that could go all eight-rounds, and I am looking forward to that as I have never gone that distance.”<\/p>\n

Rosario, who has won seven consecutive fights has been slowly moving up the card and now finds himself in the main event.<\/p>\n

“That has not hit me yet that I am the main event fighter. I just continue to fight and my team has done a good job of finding me the right fights. I am gaining more confidence with each fight and my opponents continue to get better.”<\/p>\n

Rosario has been in the gym since age 10 but did not start to competing until he was 18. He then embarked on a 28 fight amateur career.<\/p>\n

The full-time corrections officer is taking his boxing career one step at a time, but he is seeing improvement in every fight.<\/p>\n

“As long as I keep winning, and stay consistent, I can maybe fight for a minor title this year.”<\/p>\n

“I hope the fans come out. I have never been in a bad fight. Sometimes it’s not about winning. I want the fans to say that I am one of their favorite fighters to watch.”<\/p>\n
