**YOENLI FELICIANO HERNANDEZ VS. KYRONE DAVIS**
Two supremely-skilled combatants in the 160-pound division go toe-to-toe as Cuba’s Yoenli Feliciano Hernandez steps in against the rising Kyrone “Shut It Down” Davis in a 10-round middleweight battle.
Hernandez (7-0, 7 KOs) is yet another in a long line of sensational amateur fighters to come from the Cuban program, with his long resume before turning pro featuring a 2021 gold medal at AIBA World Boxing Championships. Originally from Camaguey, Cuba and now fighting out of Providence, Rhode Island, Hernandez turned pro in May 2022 with a pair of stoppage victories and continued to dominate his competition on his way to earning the rank of number one contender in the WBA. The 27-year-old returned in 2024 with four U.S. fights, including a stoppage of the veteran contender Alejandro Barrera in June and a TKO over the previously unbeaten Bryce Henry in October. Most recently, the frequent sparring partner of top light heavyweight David Morrell Jr. dominated Angel Ruiz on his way to a fifth-round TKO on February 1.
“We’re training very hard to face a difficult fighter in Kyrone Davis,” said Hernandez. “We have to adjust to his style and do everything that we can to come out with the victory on May 31. After this win, I’m ready for everyone at 160 or 168 pounds. Don’t miss this fight, because I’m here to change the narrative that Cuban fighters can’t be exciting world champions.”
The 30-year-old Davis (19-3-1, 6 KOs) earned a career best outing in his last fight that ran his winning-streak up to three, as he out boxed top middleweight Elijah Garcia on his way to a decision victory last June. Davis had previously picked up two victories in 2023, dominating Cristian Fabian Rios in January before scoring a unanimous decision over Cruse Stewart in December. Those victories came after a run that saw Davis battle two-time champion Anthony Dirrell to a draw in February 2021, before stepping in as a late replacement two fights later to drop a hard-fought contest against light heavyweight superstar David Benavidez. An amateur standout representing Wilmington, Delaware, Davis trains in Philadelphia under the tutelage of top trainer Stephen “Breadman” Edwards.
“Everything in training camp is going as planned and I can’t wait to get back in the ring on May 31,” said Davis. “I’m very confident in getting another win against a strong, good fighter. I can guarantee action and I really think our fight may steal the show.”
**ISAAC LUCERO VS. OMAR VALENZUELA**
Returning to fight stateside for the first time since his U.S. debut, Isaac Lucero will look to announce his presence as a contender in the stacked 154-pound division against fellow unbeaten Mexican contender Omar Valenzuela in their opening bout.
The 26-year-old Lucero (16-0, 12 KOs) turned pro in 2019 after an amateur career that saw him earn five national medals representing Mexico. Representing his native La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, Lucero has stopped his last five opponents entering May 31, and also owns a pair of 10-round unanimous decision triumphs. In looking to make his U.S. takeover, Lucero has set up camp in Las Vegas, where he is trained by renowned coach Bob Santos. Most recently, Lucero scored a 10th-round TKO of Juan Ruiz last September
“I’m very thankful to my team for believing in me and helping me land this important opportunity,” said Lucero. “Being in Las Vegas to train has brought the best out of me and I feel like everything is coming together at the perfect time. I’m working with one of the best trainers in boxing in Bob Santos and his whole team. I know I need to be at my best, because this is a very important step in my journey to the world title.”
A native of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Valenzuela (23-0, 20 KOs) will make his U.S. debut on May 31 after first turning pro in 2017. The 28-year-old has shown impressive knockout power, racking up an 87% KO rate and will enter his showdown against Lucero with eight consecutive stoppages under his belt. His last outing came in February, as he blasted out Angel Zavala in two rounds.
“I am very grateful for this opportunity to begin building my name against a quality opponent on a big stage,” said Valenzuela. “Lucero seems to be getting a lot of attention, but we’re both undefeated, so I’m excited to punch the freckles off his face. After this fight, they will be saying that I’m the next great fighter coming out of Mexico.”
