Kenneth Llover teams up with Alex Ariza

Unbeaten bantamweight prospect Kenneth Llover has teamed up with renowned strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza in preparation for his yet-to-be-announced upcoming fight.

Ariza, known for getting eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao into tip-top shape in the past, is in the Philippines training Llover at the Peñalosa Sports Center in Parañaque.

His long list of notable boxers includes former world champions Floyd Mayweather, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr,  Amir Khan, and Brandon Rios.

The 22-year-old Llover (14-0, 9KOs) caught the attention of international boxing handlers after scoring back-to-back first-round stoppages in Japan.

His promoter, retired two-division champion Gerry Peñalosa, recently signed a co-promotional deal with Japan’s Kameda Promotions, which puts Llover in line for a world title bout in two years.
