Jose scored one of his career-best wins in his previous fight on September 13, a 10-round unanimous decision against Puerto Rican prospect Luis Cruz.

Advisor Ray Alcorta said, "José trains at the Montiel's gym in Los Mochis. He was training with Manuel Montiel – Fernando's father – but José’s father has been training him full-time now.

"José is a boxer-puncher. He reminds me a little bit of Humberto Soto. He's an upright fighter – he has good height, about 5'10". He has a pretty good punch."

"José has been fighting his whole life. I think it's the right time for him to step up."
