LONG BEACH, CA (June 12, 2026) – MF Pro’s undefeated prospect Amir “Cashman” Anderson (7-0, 7 KOs) of Syracuse, New York, is ready for the most defying moment of his young career when he faces fellow unbeaten foe Jonas Sylvain (9-0-1, 5 KOs) of Boynton Beach, Florida, in a scheduled 10-round middleweight showdown on Friday, June 19, 2026, at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California. Adding even more significance to the matchup, the WBC US Silver Middleweight Title will be at stake when Anderson and Sylvain square off on MF Pro’s inaugural U.S. event, ‘Pugilist Revolution,’ live on DAZN.

For Anderson, a devastating puncher who has stopped every opponent he’s faced as a professional, the bout represents more than just another fight. It’s an opportunity to announce himself on a major stage against an undefeated opponent and prove he belongs among boxing’s rising stars. After months of preparation, Anderson believes this training camp has elevated him to another level. Discussing the work he put in during camp, Anderson expressed confidence that fans will see the best version of him on fight night.

“This was probably the best training camp I’ve had as a pro,” said Anderson “I put in a lot of hard work every day and made sure I was ready for a big opportunity like this. Everyone around me has seen how serious I’ve been about this fight. I’m not flying across the country just to pick up another win. I want people to see what I’m capable of and remember my name. When that bell rings, fans are going to see a fighter who’s motivated, determined, and ready to show he belongs at the next level.”

Standing across the ring will be Sylvain, another undefeated fighter looking to preserve his perfect record. Anderson welcomes the challenge and views the matchup as exactly the type of fight he has been seeking. When asked about facing Sylvain, Anderson made it clear that he respects his opponent’s accomplishments but believes this fight will reveal who is ready for the next level.

“Jonas has done what he needed to do to stay undefeated, and I respect that,” stated Anderson. “He’s a good fighter and this is the type of fight that will change the direction for both of us. But when we get in the ring, it’s going to come down to who wants it more. I’ve worked too hard and waited too long for an opportunity like this to let it slip away. This is a big fight with a lot on the line, and I plan on making the most of it. I believe my work ethic, my strength, and my mindset are going to be the difference. These are the fights that can take your career to the next level, and I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the fighter who’s ready for that step.”

The event will also mark Anderson’s first professional appearance in California, a destination long associated with some of boxing’s most memorable moments and biggest stars. The Syracuse native is embracing the opportunity to compete on the West Coast and showcase his talent in front of a new audience.

“Fighting in California for the first time is something I’m really excited about,” continued Anderson. “This state has such a rich boxing history, and a lot of legendary fighters have built their names here. To have my first fight in California happen on a major card and in front of a DAZN audience makes it even more special. I want the fans out there to remember my name when the night is over. Whenever you get the chance to perform in a new market, it’s an opportunity to grow your fan base and show people what you’re all about. I’m looking forward to putting on a performance that gets people talking.”

With DAZN cameras broadcasting the event worldwide, Anderson understands the significance of the exposure and the impact a victory could have on his future. Anderson believes a strong performance against an undefeated opponent on a global platform could be the breakthrough moment that accelerates his rise in the middleweight division.

“This is the kind of opportunity I’ve been waiting for,” said Anderson. “I’m fighting another undefeated guy on DAZN, so I know a lot of people will be watching. A win in this fight can open a lot of doors for me and show my promoter, the fans, and everyone in the division that I’m ready to take the next step. I’ve put in too much hard work to let this opportunity slip away. I plan on going out there, taking care of business, and showing everyone that I’m a fighter they need to pay attention to. June 19 is my chance to prove I belong among the best up-and-coming fighters in the sport.”

Those moments matter because people remember who helped build something special. I’m planning on putting on a performance that gets fans talking and shows everyone why they call me ‘Pretty Boy.'”

At just 22 years old, Syracuse, New York native Amir “Cashman” Anderson has already shown tremendous knockout power, stopping every opponent he has faced.

Fighting from the southpaw stance and standing six feet tall in the welterweight division, Lopez has displayed explosive offense and a relentless style that has quickly made him a prospect to watch. Lopez said competing in California only adds motivation.

“Fighting on this card means a lot because it’s another step toward my goals,” said Lopez. “I’m from Oakland, so fighting in California always feels special because I know I’ll have support in the building.

Her professional debut at super flyweight now begins the next chapter of an already impressive journey.

To make my professional debut on MF Pro’s first event in the United States makes it even more meaningful because we’re all building something together. Fans are going to see someone who’s hungry, motivated, and ready to begin a new chapter.”
