“I am already training for my next fight and I want to give a good showing in my first fight under the Top Rank banner.”

 “I think it’s a great fit with Top Rank, Mr. Arum knows how to make stars and I think Gesta has all the tools and gifts to be one,” Vince Parra, Gesta trainer and co-manager, said. “We are looking to come back in July against a tough fighter and then look for a title opportunity by the end of the year.”
Gesta has began his camp for his next bout versus TBA at the Alliance Gym in Chula Vista, CA, and will finish it off at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, CA.
