Kaipo Gallegos Eyes WBO Youth Title in High-Stakes Clash Against Iron Alvarez This Friday

ORLANDO, FL (October 28, 2024) – Undefeated lightweight Kaipo Gallegos (6-0-1, 5 KOs) from Las Vegas, NV, is set to take a major step in his career as he battles Tampa’s Iron Alvarez (15-2, 11 KOs) for the WBO Youth title this Friday, November 1, 2024, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, FL. The 8-round bout will serve as the co-main event on a DAZN-televised card headlined by Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (17-2-1, 8 KOs) versus Christian Rubio Mino (24-9-2, 17 KOs) for the WBA Continental USA Jr. Welterweight title.

Gallegos, who is co-promoted by Boxlab Promotions and Shuan Boxing, has generated excitement in the lightweight division with his aggressive style and high KO ratio. The 18-year-old is focused on capturing the WBO Youth title in what he acknowledges will be the toughest test of his career to date. Gallegos knows the stakes are high against the battle-tested Alvarez, a dangerous puncher with extensive experience in the ring.

“Training camp has been tremendous,” said Gallegos. “I’ve put in the work with my team, fine-tuning my skills and making sure I’m peaking at the right time. I feel strong, sharp, and confident heading into this fight. This is definitely the toughest fight of my career. Alvarez is a talented fighter with a lot of power, but I’m ready for this moment. I’m prepared to dig deep and leave everything in the ring to win this title.”

Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, sees immense potential in Gallegos and believes a win on Friday will solidify his status as one of the sport’s top young talents. “Kaipo has all the tools to be one of the best lightweight prospects in boxing,” said Piedra. “A victory over a tough and experienced opponent like Alvarez would be a huge boost for his career. We’re excited about his future and confident that he’s ready to take this next step.”

A victory on November 1 would be a career-defining moment for the rising star. “Winning the WBO Youth title is a huge step forward for me,” Gallegos concluded. “It’ll show that I belong with the best young fighters in my weight class and lead to even bigger fights. I want to prove to the world that I’m the next great fighter to come out of Las Vegas.”

Laura Ramsey and Gwendolyn O’Neil Chime in on their rematch This Saturday, February 29th at the Saint Petersburg Marriott Clearwater in Saint Petersburg, Florida

Saint Petersburg,FL (February 28, 2020) -This Saturday night, a rematch 10-years in the making as heavyweight’s Laura Ramsey and Gwendolyn O’Neil battle at the Saint Petersburg Marriott Clearwater.

The 11 bout card is promoted by T&K Boxing Promotions.

Both women got their final thoughts in, as they wind down training camp just two days before their encounter.

“I had a good training camp. She wanted the rematch, so we are going to do this. I feel that I have an advantage because I won the first fight,” Said O’Neil.

Said Ramsey, “My training camp did not go as planned. I had a death of a family friend, so that affected me. About two years ago, I wanted to retire and Gwendolyn reached out to me. Over the last couple of years, we spoke a few times about doing this rematch and she was interested.”

“We are both champions. She fought Laila Ali twice. In fact the 2nd time she fought Laila, it was supposed to me. I signed for that fight. We are the only two credible heavyweights out there, so if this is our last fights, we mind as well go out with a bang. It makes sense to have the fight here as I started my first amateur fight in Saint Petersburg, so I mind as well finish here. The first fight with Gwendolyn was on a card promoted by her people. so this fight is promoted by my desired promoters. This is a fight that I HAVE TO WIN. I want to even the score with her. We are both 50 years-old and the combined age has to be a record. I don’t think any fight has a combined age of 100, so not only will this be a great fight, but it will be historical.”
