On his matchup with Alan Sandoval:

“Sandoval comes from a part of Mexico that I’m very familiar with, so I know he’s coming to fight, he’s true warrior who carries himself with confidence. I respect what he has accomplished, but I also believe this is the kind of fight that reveals who is truly ready to take the next step. Styles will play a major role, and I see opportunities where my precision, patience, and execution will be the difference. This is going to be an all-out war!”

On his recent training camp in Las Vegas with Bob Santos:

“My time in Las Vegas with coach Bob Santos has been very productive. Bob is a teacher of the sport in the truest sense, he refines not only your technique, but your understanding of what it takes to be a champion. This camp has been about elevating every detail. We’ve focused on discipline, championship mentality, and ring intelligence. I feel more complete as a fighter and I’m ready for this challenge. There is a quiet confidence that comes from preparation at the highest level.”

On fighting in Las Vegas during Cinco de Mayo Weekend on an all-Mexican card on PPV:

“To fight in Las Vegas on Cinco de Mayo Weekend, on a card that celebrates Mexican fighters, is both an honor and a responsibility. This is a moment that carries me on to the global stage, it represents pride, history, and identity. To perform on this stage is something I do not take lightly. I intend to represent my country with dignity, with heart, and with a performance that reflects the tradition of Mexican boxing. Puro Mexico!”

On what a win will do for his career and his people back home in Mexico:

“A victory in this fight would be significant, not only for my career but for the people who have supported me from the beginning. I come from Baja California Sur, Mexico, and I carry that with me into every fight. This moment is about opening doors for myself, for my team, and for young fighters who are watching and believing that they can follow a similar path. Success is never individual…it belongs to everyone who has invested their faith in you. I want to give them something to be proud of.”

ALL-MEXICAN NIGHT HITS LAS VEGAS CINCO DE MAYO WEEKEND WITH THREE MEXICO VS. MEXICO SHOWDOWNS ADDED TO BLOCKBUSTER BENAVIDEZ VS. ZURDO EVENT

LAS VEGAS – March 18, 2026 – Cinco de Mayo Weekend in Las Vegas will feature a star-studded night of high-octane Mexico vs. Mexico showdowns, with the pay-per-view undercard highlighted by the world championship co-main event between Nayarit’s WBA Super Middleweight World Champion Armando “Toro” Reséndiz and Tijuana’s all-action former world champion Jaime Munguía taking place Saturday, May 2 on the Benavidez vs. Zurdo PBC Pay-Per-View available on Prime Video from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The action will also include Mexico vs. Mexico matchups featuring top contenders going toe-to-toe as Parral’s Oscar Duarte takes on Tijuana’s Angel Fierro in a 10-round super lightweight bout, while undefeated rising Mexican star from La Paz Isaac “Puro México” Lucero meets the Nochistlan-native and fellow unbeaten Alan Sandoval in a 10-round super welterweight opening clash. An additional pay-per-view undercard bout will be announced shortly.

**ARMANDO RESENDIZ VS. JAIME MUNGUIA**

Looking to establish himself as the next Mexican star to dominate the 168-pound division, Armando “Toro” Reséndiz has wasted no time in seeking to bolster his resume as he will defend his WBA Super Middleweight World Championship against one of Mexico’s premier action fighters, the fan-friendly star Jaime Munguía, who will look to become a two-division world champion with a career-best victory over Reséndiz.

The 27-year-old Reséndiz (16-2, 11 KOs) pulled off one of 2025’s biggest upsets over former super middleweight world champion Caleb Plant last May with a ferocious performance to capture the interim title before being recently elevated. Trained by the renowned Manny Robles, the native of Guayabitos, Nayarit, Mexico was unbeaten in his first 12 fights after turning pro in 2018, showing impressive power with an eight-fight knockout streak. After coming up on the short end of a decision to Marcos Hernandez in September 2021, Reséndiz was dominant in stopping the former unified world champion Jarrett Hurd in the 10^th-round of their March 2023 matchup. Reséndiz’s only other blemish came against top contender Elijah Garcia in September 2023, before bouncing back to earn a fifth-round TKO of Fernando Paliza in February 2025.

“I’m very happy to be stepping into the ring with a great fighter like Jaime Munguia, who’s been competing at this level for a long time,” said Reséndiz. “For me, this is a big challenge and a huge motivation. These are the kinds of fights I’ve always dreamed about – facing the best names in the sport and proving that I belong at this level.”

The 29-year-old Munguía (45-2, 35 KOs) first burst onto the scene in 2018, shocking Sadam Ali via a fourth-round TKO to claim a 154-pound world championship, which he would go on to defend successfully five times. A native of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Munguía continued his dominance after moving up to 160-pounds, going 6-0 at the weight class from 2020 through 2022, including triumphs over D’Mitrius Ballard, Gabriel Rosado and Tureano Johnson, all while garnering a reputation as one of the most fan-friendly fighters in the sport. Munguia debuted at 168-pounds with a 2023 Fight of the Year triumph over Sergiy Derevyanchenko, eventually losing an undisputed 168-pound title challenge to Canelo Alvarez in 2024. Most recently, Munguia avenged a December 2024 loss to Bruno Sarace by winning a unanimous decision in the rematch last May.

“I’m very excited to be back, especially to fight for a world title against a fellow Mexican,” said Munguía. “I’m truly grateful to my team, and everyone who made this fight possible. We’re ready to come out victorious on this great night for Mexico!”

**OSCAR DUARTE VS. ANGEL FIERRO**

One of the top contenders at 140-pounds, Oscar Duarte was set to challenge IBF World Champion Richardson Hitchins in February before Hitchins pulled out due to illness on fight day, now he will look to return to action against the heavy-handed all-action brawler Angel Fierro in a 10-round super lightweight showdown.

Fighting out of Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico, Duarte (30-2-1, 23 KOs) rides a four-fight winning streak into May 2, including a decision triumph over fellow top contender Kenneth Sims Jr. last August. The 30-year-old’s current run also includes an April 2024 stoppage of former world champion Joseph Diaz Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph over bruising contender Batyr Akhmedov. Duarte ended 11 consecutive fights before the final bell between May 2019 and May 2023 to earn a shot at current WBC Welterweight World Champion Ryan Garcia, ultimately coming up on the short end of their December 2023 matchup.

“I’m very happy and motivated for this fight on May 2 in Las Vegas,” said Duarte. “This is a great event that falls on a very meaningful date for all Mexicans, which makes it even more special to me. I can’t wait to face another Mexican warrior who’s already proven his talent and courage in the ring. When two Mexicans step into the ring, people know it’s gonna be a great fight. We’re both going to give it everything we have and I’m sure it will be a war that fans will truly enjoy. I want to thank my whole team for including me on this great card on such an important date for all Mexicans.”

Originally from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Fierro (23-4-2, 18 KOs) now fights out of San Diego and has made a name for himself with his aggressive style and power punching prowess. The 27-year-old stamped his place amongst modern Mexican boxing warriors with an unforgettable slugfest against Mexican superstar Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz in February 2025, delivering one of the year’s best fights. Fierro has fought professionally since 2015 and was undefeated in his first 17 outings. He announced his presence as a world contender in 2021 with a career-best victory as he rose from the canvas to stop former world champion Alberto Machado in round six. Most recently Fierro was disqualified from an October 2025 bout against Abraham Cordero for fouling.

“I’m very grateful to my team for this great opportunity,” said Fierro. “We’re ready to return to Las Vegas and deliver a great fight and a surprise, just like we do every time we step into the ring. I want to make a statement that I’m still among the elite. I have a lot of respect for Oscar Duarte, we’ve trained in the same gym before, so I know this fight is going to be explosive.”

**ISAAC LUCERO VS. ALAN SANDOVAL**

Fresh off a pair of KO victories in 2025, undefeated rising contender Isaac “Puro México” will look to bring that momentum into 2026 as he steps in against fellow unbeaten Alan Sandoval, who makes his U.S. debut in this 10-round super welterweight showdown.

The 27-year-old Lucero (18-0, 14 KOs) turned pro in 2019 after an amateur career that saw him earn five national medals representing Mexico. A native of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, Lucero has stopped his last seven opponents entering May 2, 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 dominated veteran Roberto Valenzuela Jr. in December, stopping the fight at the end of round 8.

“I’m very grateful to my team, and everyone who worked to make this possible,” said Lucero. “Fighting on Cinco de Mayo weekend is every Mexican boxer’s dream, and I accept this challenge with the utmost professionalism, as I’ll be facing the most important challenge of my career against an undefeated opponent. This card will be ‘Puro México!’”

Representing his native Nochistlan, Zacatecas, Mexico, Sandoval (30-0-1, 19 KOs) will look to make a big splash in his first stateside bout after racking up four victories in 2025. The 30-year-old already began his 2026 campaign in February with a stoppage victory, his 13^th victories inside of the distance in his last 14 outings. A pro since 2019, Sandoval began his pro career with four-straight unanimous decisions before finding his power surge in recent years.

“I’m highly motivated by this tremendous opportunity and I have no intention of letting it slip away,” said Sandoval. “I have more experience than Isaac and I’ve been having the best training camp of my career. Competing in an event Cinco de Mayo Weekend is a dream come true. I have no doubt that this will be a great fight. Neither of us wants to lose, but I am confident I will be the one walking away with my hand raised.”

Roach and Cruz Fight To Spirited Draw

Lamont Roach Jr. and Isaac Cruz fought to a 12-round majority draw in a tough fight for the WBC Interim Super Lightweight title at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.

In round three, Cruz landed a left hook that sent Roach sprawling and his left glove hit the canvas for a knockdown. +

In round seven, Cruz was deducted a point for hitting on the hip.

Cruz landed 1599 of 544 punches. Roach was 191 of 467.

Cruz, 138.6 lbs of Mexico City is 28-3-2. Roach of Washington, DC is 25-1-3.

“I knew he would stand his ground and go toe-to-toe, but I know how to box too,” said Cruz. “People don’t realize I can box.”

“Hats off to ‘Pitbull,’” said Roach. “He’s a great champion himself. I gave the fans a great fight. Back to the drawing board.”

“All I want is a fair shake,” said Roach. “I think I should have won a close victory. All I want is a fair shake. That’s it…I don’t know what I got to do. I don’t accept this at all. I clearly thought I won a close fight. I’m tired of this.”

“I did my job,” said Cruz. “I did my work. The ref was on his side. The judges too. The crowd in San Antonio saw I won this fight…Absolutely I’d do a rematch. With a different referee who is not on his side. The referee took this fight from me.”

Foster Decisions Fulton to Win Interim Lightweight Crown

Junior Lightweight titlist O’Shaquie Foster won a 12-round unanimous decision over featherweight World champion Stephen Fulton to win the WBC Interim Lightweight title.

Foster landed 191 of 600 punches. Fulton was 56 of 438.

Foster, 130 lbs of Houston, TX won by scores of 119-109,118-110 and 117 -111 and is now 24-3. Fulton, 132 lbs of Philadelphia was 2 pounds overweight for the 130 lb. bout is now 23-2.

“The game plan was to stay smart, stay sharp and get him out of there in the later rounds,” said Foster. “But he’s a damn good fighter and a veteran and he knew how to survive.”

“I want Shakur Stevenson,” said Foster. “I’ve been saying it for the longest. But it looks like he’s gonna fight at 140. So I have to choose either 130 or 135. I’ll see what happens and make a decision.”

Lara Decisions Gonzalez; Retains Middleweight Title

Erislandy Lara retained the WBA Middleweight title with a unanimous decision over late-replacement Johan Gonzalez.

Late in round 12, Lara landed three straight lefts that put Gonzalez on the canvas.

Lara.159.6 lbs of Houston won by scores of 120-108, 119-107 and 118-108 and is now 32-3-3. Gonzalez, 158.6 lbs of Las Vegas, took the fight after unified world champion Janibek Alimkhanuly failed a drug test is now 36-5.

“Gonzalez came to fight and he came to win,” said Lara. “We knew him a little bit, so we were ready for that and we made the adjustments we needed to make. He was a tough opponent who had a great opportunity in front of him, but we executed the game plan.”

“I spend all my time at the gym, so I had no problem being ready for this fight,” said Gonzalez. There are no excuses, but I did feel that Lara didn’t come to fight me the way he said he would.

“I felt a little uncomfortable in the first few rounds,” said Gonzalez. “The first knockdown was a punch and a slip. The second was a clean shot from Lara.”

“I showed the world that I’m 42-years-old and I’m still at the top of my game,” said Lara. “I can compete with the best. I don’t care at all about Janibek and I don’t wanna talk about him anymore.”

Ramos Decisions Mosley Jr. To Win Interim Middleweight Title

Jesus Ramos Jr. won a 12-round unanimous decision over Shane Mosley Jr. to win the WBC Interim Middleweight title.

Ramos landed 201 of 613 punches. Mosley was 210 of 573.

“I was just being myself,” said Ramos. “I’m not gonna lie, it was tough. I actually had a right hand injury the last three weeks of camp. We didn’t spar for the last four weeks. So it was tough to get my timing. I would catch a rhythm and lose it. I faced a lot of obstacles but I told my family there was no way I was leaving San Antonio without a belt.”

“It was a hell of a fight,” said Mosley. “Thanks to Ramos and everyone who made this fight happen. He was the man tonight. I’ll be back and be better.”

“He never hurt me but he did surprise me,” said Ramos. “I never felt rocked, but I was surprised. He hit me with shots I wasn’t expecting. But I never felt like my legs weren’t there.”

“In those last few rounds I just kept remembering the Erickson Lubin fight,” said Ramos. “I kept getting flashbacks and I didn’t want the same thing to happen again. I kept pushing and pushing. I was in a dark place in that 10th round. I was tired, but I knew it would be worth it when the final bell rang.

“I want Carlos Adames. He’s the full champion. I don’t want the interim belt, I want the champion.”

Former world title challenger Frank Martin scored a devastating fourth round stoppage over former two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy in a 10-round junior welterweight bout.

In round two, Barthlelemy was cut above the right eye. In round four, Martin dropped Barthelemy with an overhand left. Moments later, Martin landed a perfect left to the jaw that put Barthelemy down and out at 2:56

“Man, it felt good,” said Martin after his first fight with trainer Buddy McGirt in his corner. “I felt more comfortable at this weight. I still got my speed. I felt strong. I felt better than my two fights before this. It took me a little time to warm up and get going but, then I saw the shot we’ve been working on. That’s why I took my chance and landed it.

“I feel like I got slept on. I took one loss. It’s a new era. I’m here and I’m back. No disrespect to any of the main event fighters, but I’ll fight any of them next.”

Martin, 139.4 lbs of Indianapolis, IN is 19-1 with 13 knockouts. Barthelemy, 139.8 lbs of Las Vegas is 30-4-1.

I’m fighting for my people, for my roots, and for the future of Mexican boxing.”

ERISLANDY LARA

“Let people keep thinking that Janibek is the most dangerous guy in the division. We’ll see on December 6 if that holds.

“This is the fight that will solidify my legacy. I know what I need to do and I’m confident in my ability to come out victorious. Everyone watching is going to see the best possible version of myself. Training is going great and I’m ready to go.

“Fans are going to see a Lara that’s going in there to throw punches to hurt Janibek. I’m coming to hurt my opponent. If I get the opportunity, I’m gonna end the night early. If it goes the distance, you’ll see me win a beautiful fight.

“This fight means everything to me. It’s a unification fight, so if I win this fight I’ll show everyone that I’m the best fighter at 160 pounds.”

SHANE MOSLEY JR.

“A win on December 6 makes me a champion and puts me in a conversation to fight other champions, including some who are on this card.

“My journey has fortified me. It’s made me strong and it’s made me more focused. I’m ready for this opportunity.

“Training camp has been going great. I’m blessed to have my dad in the corner and a great support team all around.

“Fans can expect a great fight. I’m gonna display great boxing and all of my skills.”

RANCES BARTHELEMY

“I want to show the world that I’ve still got a lot left to give this sport. I still want to add another world title to my resume and that’s continued to push me forward.

“I’ve been in the ring with everybody and every kind of style there is. So I’ve studied Martin, but he doesn’t have anything that stands out that much or that I haven’t seen before. He’s got youth on his side. That’s the only advantage he could have in this fight.

“This is gonna be a beautiful fight and I’m going to make it an exciting fight. I love to face southpaws. Whenever I face lefties I make it action packed and fight from both sides. This is a perfect style matchup.”

“This is the opportunity that I’ve been looking for. I’ve wanted to fight on a big stage like this so that my career can take off to the next level. That’s what I’m planning to do.

“A win puts me right at the top and gets me in contention for a world title. That’s the ultimate goal and my dream. That’s what I’m working so hard to accomplish.”

**FRANK MARTIN VS. RANCES BARTHELEMY**

After a strong run at 135-pounds that established himself as one of the slickest fighters in the sport, Frank “The Ghost” Martin will look to begin a run in the stacked super lightweight division as he faces Cuba’s former two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy in a 10-round attraction.

Prior to the Davis fight, the 30-year-old Martin (18-1, 12 KOs) had most recently shown that his power can last through a 12-round fight as he dropped the previously unbeaten Artem Harutyunyan in the final frame to clinch a unanimous decision victory in July 2023. His previous outing saw him stamp his status as one of the elite 135-pounders in the sport as he dropped and dominated the then-unbeaten Michel Rivera on his way to a unanimous decision in December 2022. Martin’s initial ascent at 135-pounds began with a stoppage of then unbeaten Jerry Perez in April 2021 before dispatching of tough contenders Jackson Marinez, Romero Duno and Ryan Kielczweski.

“I’m excited to be back after people tried to bash me for taking one loss,” said Martin. “I took it as a lesson learned and I’m back mentally and physically at the top of my game. Rances is gonna have to deal with everything I went through, and he’s gonna feel it on every punch. I’m back and I’m pissed off and dangerous.”

A native of Havana, Cuba now fighting out of Las Vegas, Barthelemy (30-3-1, 15 KOs) steps back into action after dropping a decision to former unified champion Jose Carlos Ramirez in April 2024. His previous two outings saw him best contender Omar Juarez in May 2023 after a July 2022 defeat to Gary Antuanne Russell in which many believed the referee waived off the fight prematurely. A world champion at 130 and 135 pounds, Barthelemy owns notable victories over Argenis Mendez, Antonio DeMarco, Mickey Bey and Denis Shafikov. His only other professional loss came in a 2018 140-pound championship rematch against Kiryl Relikh. Barthelemy comes from a fighting family, as he is the middle brother between the younger Leduan and the older Yan, who won a gold medal at the 2004 Olympics.

“December 6 is the night I remind everyone who Rances Barthelemy is,” said Barthelemy. “Frank Martin is a talented fighter, but I’ve been in deep waters before, and experience counts when the lights are brightest. I’m coming with new hunger, sharper focus, and the fire of a man chasing one more world title run. Fans tuning in are going to see me determined to leave everything in the ring. I’m not here to survive, I’m here to dominate and make sure my name is back on everyone’s radar.”

**ISAAC LUCERO VS. ROBERTO VALENZUELA JR.**

Fresh off of a dominant KO win on Prime Video in May, undefeated rising contender Isaac “La Bestia” Lucero will look to continue his momentum as he steps in against battle-tested knockout artist Roberto Valenzuela Jr. in a 10-round super welterweight contest.

The 26-year-old Lucero (17-0, 13 KOs) turned pro in 2019 after an amateur career that saw him earn five national medals representing Mexico. A native of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, Lucero has stopped his last six opponents entering December 6, 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, who led him to victory in May as he stopped the previously undefeated Omar Valenzuela in two rounds.

“Roberto Valenzuela Jr. is a tough veteran who’s faced some of the division’s best and he’s coming into the ring on a winning streak, but this is my time and I’m gonna show why on December 6,” said Lucero. “I’ve very grateful to my team for this opportunity. My trainer Bob Santos will have me ready to showcase my skills and put on a great show when the bell rings.”

Representing his native Sonora, Mexico, Valenzuela (31-5, 29 KOs) steps into the ring on December 6 riding a five-fight winning streak, with all of those wins coming by stoppage. The 26-year-old’s most recent triumph saw him knock out veteran contender Juan Jose Velasco in the sixth-round in February. Valenzuela has experience against two reigning 154-pound champions, having challenged Xander Zayas in 2023 and Bakhram Murtazaliev in 2022. In total, Valenzuela’s five defeats have come to fighters who entered the ring with a combined record of 79-2.

“I’m very thankful for this opportunity,” said Valenzuela. “My opponent is a very strong and skilled boxer, but I’m 100% ready to leave San Antonio victorious. With both of our styles, I’m sure that we’re going to give the fans a fight that all of Mexico and the rest of the world will be talking about for many years.”

**LUIS NUNEZ VS. HECTOR SOSA**

Looking to become the next Dominican world champion in boxing, Luis “The Twist” Nunez continues to up his competition as he takes on the upset-minded Argentine Hector Sosa in a 10-round super featherweight duel.

A rising contender at 130-pounds, Nunez (21-0, 14 KOs) can take another step closer to a world title with a victory on December 6. Originally from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and now being guided by top trainer Bob Santos in Las Vegas, Nunez kicked off his 2025 campaign in June as he dispatched of Daniel Ramirez in the fourth-round. The 25-year-old had previously shown his bona fides with an impressive run that saw him best four previously undefeated fighters in a stretch of five outings. He followed up that run in December 2024 by earning a dominant 10-round unanimous decision over veteran contender Leonardo Baez ahead of the Ramirez fight.

“I’m excited to be fighting a tough Argentinian on a huge card December 6,” said Nunez. “It’s a blessing that this fight will be on Prime Video, because I’ve been working so hard with my trainer Bob Santos and I know that I’ll be ending the night in spectacular fashion. I’m going for fight of the night, so make sure you tune in early!”

The 29-year-old Sosa (18-3, 9 KOs) is no stranger to springing upsets on unsuspecting foes as he showed his power carry into the later rounds when he knocked out top U.K. fighter James Dickens in July 2023. Overall, Sosa has won four of his last five bouts, including most recently earning a unanimous decision over Liborio Solis in May. The Buenos Aires, Argentina native has previously fought stateside three times, including a 12-round decision over Keenan Carbajal in June 2024.

“I love to be the underdog because it makes it even sweeter when they announce me as the winner,” said Sosa. “I’ve been training hard and I’ll be ready to give Nunez everything he can handle. Don’t miss this fight, because I’m coming to show what Argentinian fighters are made of!”

RISING CONTENDER ISAAC LUCERO TRAINING CAMP NOTES AHEAD OF PBC PAY-PER-VIEW ON PRIME VIDEO OPENING BOUT ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25

LAS VEGAS – September 30, 2025 – Young Mexican rising star Isaac “La Bestia” Lucero will look to prime the crowd for an explosive night of PBC Pay-Per-View on Prime Video action when he takes on fellow Mexican slugger Roberto Valenzuela Jr. in the opening attraction of a four-fight pay-per-view on Saturday, October 25 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“We both come to fight and are ready for war,” said Lucero (17-0, 13 KOs). “I’m gonna make people fall in love with my style and continue to grow my fan base with this fight and every fight to come.”

The 27-year-old Lucero comes from a fighting family, as his father Isaias Lucero Sr. was an established Mexican national light heavyweight champion. In addition, his mother encouraged him into the sport originally and continues to be one of his biggest motivators during his pro journey.

“My mom pushed me into sports to lose some weight and boxing became my way of accomplishing that goal,” said Lucero. “My dad was a national champion and my mom is still my biggest cheerleader, so family and boxing are one in the same for me. My mom always encourages me to stay focused and train hard whenever I start to miss my family back home.”

A native of La Paz, Lucero has high expectations of himself to become one of the country’s next boxing stars. To help accomplish that goal, Lucero has tried to emulate a litany of Mexican and Latino greats in his own boxing arsenal.

“I loved watching Julio Cesar Chavez, Roberto Durán, Canelo Alvarez and Juan Manuel Márquez,” said Lucero. “Canelo’s discipline and stoicism, Márquez’s hunger and willingness to always get up and overcome, Chavez’s waist movement and Durán’s strength are things I admire and still take with me to this day.”

Lucero has also gained attention in the boxing world for his physical resemblances to Canelo, being dubbed “Baby Canelo” by Devin Haney’s team during 2019 sparring. In the ring however he still carries on the “La Bestia” nickname that was also his father’s ringer moniker and will look to make his family and Mexican people proud on October 25.

“Being Mexican has taught me that anything is possible if you work hard enough for it,” said Lucero, who trains in Las Vegas with renowned trainer Bob Santos. “The list of Mexican world champions is long. I’m proud of that history and of course want to add my name to that legacy.”

“Keith Thurman is an excellent fighter and a great champion. A victory over him will further cement Sebastian Fundora’s legacy as the world’s best super welterweight,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing. “

**SEBASTIAN FUNDORA VS. KEITH THURMAN**

The main event will see Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora look to make the third defense of his WBC crown against the former unified welterweight world champion Keith “One Time” Thurman in a 12-round duel for super welterweight supremacy.

Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs) first rocketed to the top of the super welterweight division by dethroning Tim Tszyu via decision in 2024’s bloodiest fight, earning both the WBC and WBO titles. After defending his belts with a knockout of Chordale Booker in March, Fundora put his WBC belt back on the line in a July rematch against Tszyu. This time, Fundora closed the show in style, dropping Tszyu in the first round before forcing an end to the bout after round seven. A native of Coachella, California, Fundora notably showed his mettle in April 2022, battling the hard-hitting Erickson Lubin in an instant 2022 Fight of the Year contender. Despite both men hitting the canvas, Fundora stood tall in the end, prompting Lubin’s corner to stop the fight at the end of the ninth round. The 27-year-old has defeated a slew of contenders throughout his career, with his only defeat coming to Brian Mendoza in 2023. Standing nearly six-feet, six-inches, Fundora represents one of boxing’s most accomplished families, as he is trained by his father Freddy alongside his younger sister, undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela. The two fighting Fundora’s are the first brother and sister to simultaneously hold world championships.

“I’m excited to be in the ring again for the third time this year versus another former champion,” said Fundora. “Our preparation is on track. Expect a great performance from Fundora.”

Clearwater, Florida’s Thurman (31-1, 23 KOs) has assembled one of the most impressive resumes among the top welterweights of this generation, having defeated former champions Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia and Robert Guerrero in high-profile clashes, unifying the WBA and WBC titles against Garcia in a rare unification bout between undefeated welterweight world champions. Thurman’s only blemish came in a 2019 Fight of the Year against boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, with Thurman ending up on the wrong side of a narrow split-decision. Thurman bounced back against the now reigning WBC Welterweight World Champion Mario Barrios by winning a unanimous decision in February 2022. He was set to face Australian superstar Tim Tszyu in March 2024 before being forced to withdraw due to injury, eventually returning to the ring this March with a third-round stoppage of Brock Jarvis.

“I’m honored to be back and fighting for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship,” said Thurman. “Fundora was never really on my radar, but he’s proven himself to be a tough champion with only one loss, just like me. Every time he steps in the ring he grows, and I know this isn’t an easy fight for anyone in the division, but I didn’t come this far to shy away from Everest, or in this case Mt. Fundora. On October 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, I’m climbing that mountain. This is how history is made. From childhood, I’ve dreamed of overcoming challenges like this. Call it David vs. Goliath, but remember – I’m Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman. I’m walking straight into the fire and it’s going to be a fight you don’t want to miss.”

**STEPHEN FULTON JR. VS. O’SHAQUIE FOSTER**

In the 12-round co-main event, top pound-for-pound fighter Stephen Fulton Jr., who currently holds the WBC Featherweight World Championship, will look to become a three-division champion when he takes on the reigning WBC Super Featherweight World Champion O’Shaquie Foster in a 130-pound grudge match between current world champions. Fulton vs. Foster is promoted in association with Top Rank.

Born and raised in West Philadelphia, Pa., Fulton (23-1, 8 KOs) became a two-division champion in his last outing, vanquishing his longtime rival Brandon Figueroa in their February rematch via decision to capture the WBC Featherweight World Championship. It was Fulton’s second fight since a July 2023 challenge that saw him travel to Japan to take on undefeated Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue, eventually dropping the road contest in round eight. In his previous 14 professional fights before facing Inoue, the 30-year-old had established himself on pound-for-pound lists by beating eight previously undefeated fighters. Fulton first became a world champion by taking the super bantamweight title from Angelo Leo in January 2021, before unifying against Figueroa in their first fight. Trained in his hometown, Fulton has displayed sublime boxing skills that have allowed him to dominate opponents of varying styles and control fights from start to finish.

“I’m ready to become a three-division world champion,” said Fulton. “I expect him to be ready, but that’s why I’m training to be at my best on October 25. We’re gonna be prepared for anything he brings and do whatever it takes to have my hand raised. I’m coming to steal the show!”

Foster (23-3, 12 KOs) bounced back from decision losses in 2015 and 2016 to put together a nine-fight winning streak that earned him a February 2023 showdown against two-division champion Rey Vargas. Foster outboxed the previously unbeaten Vargas on his way to a unanimous decision that earned him the WBC Super Featherweight World Championship. Originally from Orange, Texas and training in nearby Houston, Foster’s first defense of his title saw him score a clutch final round stoppage of Eduardo Hernandez while trailing on two scorecards. After a successful title defense over Abraham Nova, Foster temporarily lost the belt via a controversial split-decision to Robson Conceicao. In his last outing, the 31-year-old reclaimed his title with his own decision triumph over Conceicao.

“The 130-pound division runs through me,” said Foster. “Respect to Stephen Fulton Jr. for stepping up in weight, but he’ll find out real soon that he should have stayed at featherweight. I’ve gone through a lot in this game to become a two-time world champion. I will take full advantage of this opportunity.”

**JESUS RAMOS JR. VS. SHANE MOSLEY JR.**

The pay-per-view lineup also features a matchup between two top contenders with long established resumes as rising Mexican star Jesus “Mono” Ramos Jr. meets the streaking Shane Mosley Jr. for the Interim WBC Middleweight Title.

After coming up on the wrong end of a contested decision against top contender Erickson Lubin in September 2023, Ramos (23-1, 19 KOs) has returned in style with three-straight stoppages. Ramos has already earned two victories in 2024, blasting out the former unified champion Jeison Rosario in the eighth-round of their February matchup before most recently defeating Guido Emmanuel Schramm in round seven in March. A native of Casa Grande, Ariz., Ramos had worked his way up the rankings by defeating a slew of contenders including Brian Mendoza, Javier Molina, Vladimir Hernandez and an emphatic stoppage of the then-unbeaten Joey Spencer. Trained by his father Jesus Sr., and the nephew of veteran contender Abel, the 24-year-old Ramos entered the Lubin fighting having stopped seven of his last 10 opponents.

“I’m excited to be going for my first title against a great fighter in Shane Mosley Jr.,” said Ramos. “This title shot is long overdue and I’m ready to become champion. I still have title aspirations at 154-pounds and several names in that division that I’m hoping to fight, but first I’m fully focused on Shane Mosley Jr. He is on a nice little winning streak and I plan to put it to an end on October 25.”

The son of boxing Hall of Famer Shane Mosley, Mosley Jr. (22-4, 12 KOs) has established his own place in the sport and enters this fight on a five-bout winning streak, including a career-best victory over former two-time middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs in July 2024. The 33-year-old Los Angeles area native now trains in Las Vegas and prior to the Jacobs win had scored stoppage victories over D’Mitrius Ballard in June 2023 and Joshua Conley in December of that same year. Mosley fought his way to the final round of the 2018 edition of The Contender series, dropping a decision to Brandon Adams in the finale. Mosley has never been stopped in his four defeats, with three of those losses coming narrowly via either split or majority decision.

“I’m thrilled for this opportunity in front of me on October 25,” said Mosley Jr. “I also want to express my gratitude to the WBC and everyone who helped make this fight happen. This is the biggest fight of my career, and I’ll be fully prepared to give it my all.”

**ISAAC LUCERO**

Fresh off of a dominant KO win on Prime Video in May, undefeated rising contender Isaac “La Bestia” Lucero will look to continue his momentum opening up pay-per-view action.

The 26-year-old Lucero (17-0, 13 KOs) turned pro in 2019 after an amateur career that saw him earn five national medals representing Mexico. A native of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, Lucero has stopped his last six opponents entering October 25, 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, who led him to victory in May as he stopped the previously undefeated Omar Valenzuela in two rounds.

“In a way, the fact that it wasn’t a knockout allowed me to test myself going the distance,” said Hernandez. “I never thought I would feel as good in the 10th round as I did in the first round, but that’s what it felt like.”

“I just couldn’t catch my rhythm from the beginning,” said Davis. “I started fighting from behind and wasn’t able to establish my offense. He’s a good fighter and he’s got a bright future. I’m gonna go back to the drawing board and figure out what’s next.”

“I dominated based on the results of my preparation and the conviction I have in my skills,” said Hernandez. “I want to thank all the fans that showed me their love and support, and I want to go after the belts next. Bring on the champions.”

Isaac Lucero Stops Omar Valenzuela in 2

Isaac Lucero stopped Omar Valenzuela in round two of their scheduled 10-round super welterweight bout of undefeated fighters.

In round two, Lucero landed a perfect overhand right that put Valenzuela on the canvas. Lucero then pounded a way at Valenzuela that capped by a perfect straight right that forced referee Michael Ortega to stop the bout just before the bell sounded at

Lucero, 154.8 lbs of Tijuana, MEX is 17-0 with 13 knockouts. Valenzuela, 154.6 lbs of Tijuana, MEX is 23-1.

“I’ve been preparing for better and better competition,” said Lucero, who is trained by top trainer Bob Santos. “I’m going to train hard and take it fight by fight with my team behind me.”

“It’s a painful loss, but I leave with my head up high,” said Valenzuela. “I felt like I could have continued, but I will learn from this and become stronger for it.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Tuesday from DLX Boxing in Las Vegas:

CALEB PLANT

“Reséndiz is a tough competitor and this is his moment. He’s looking to seize his big moment and I remember what it was like when I had my big moment, and how badly I wanted it. I’m expecting him to come in guns blazing. But we’ve got something for him.

“In all of my fights I’m looking to go in and put a show on. Sometimes you may win in impressive fashion and sometimes you might get a close decision. The most important thing is getting your hand raised. But I’m still looking to dominate.

“First things first and that’s handling business on May 31. If Charlo can handle his business, or whatever happens in the co-main event, I’m looking for that winner…If he’s able to handle business, me and Charlo can run it.

“I feel like my skills are as sharp as ever. People can see that I’m smoothing out all the edges of my game. I’m going to keep becoming a more well-rounded fighter overall.

“My job is to stick to the game plan and listen to my coaches. I have a great team and we’ll be comfortable with wherever the fight goes.

“What I crave is to be a winner and a champion. I want to cement my legacy and show my children firsthand what it looks like to work hard at something. Have I fallen short a couple of times? Yeah, but I did it with integrity and the way a warrior would do it. If you fall short, you dust yourself off and you keep going.

“I’m an elite athlete and I’ve been tuning out things around me my whole life. No matter what’s going on, or what other fights might be in the future, I know how to lock in on the task at hand.”

KYRONE DAVIS

“I think this fight is gonna steal the show. I really believe that my opponent is a good fighter. He’s talented and we’re gonna make this the fight of the night. But I will have my hand raised in the end.

“My team has been studying Hernandez. I think I’ve only watched a round or two of his from his last fight. I don’t go too deep into that, because he’s gonna look totally different when he’s in the ring with me. I let my coach do the strategizing.

“I want all the champions at 160-pounds. I’m looking at anyone with a belt. I want the best. I believe I’m the best middleweight in the world, and the only way to prove that is to get in the ring with everybody. That’s why I took this fight. They’re hyping this guy up and he’s supposed to be the goods. That’s what they said about Elijah Garcia before I fought him. I’m here to show everyone that I’m the goods.

“We don’t mind taking on challenges. Life is about taking on challenges. It’s about knowing what you’re looking for, honing in on a goal and accomplishing that goal.

“I’ve been taking hard fights my whole career. Whether it’s undefeated prospects, top contenders, multiple-division champions, or going up in weight on four weeks’ notice. I’ve beaten the odds and I’ve done what they said I can’t do. It’s prepared me for this moment and it’s gonna keep preparing me for the next step. This is just another day in the park for me. I’m gonna shut it down. That’s what I plan to do.

“I’ve learned in my career to treat every fight like it’s just another day. We’re all getting in the ring and risking our lives, but we’re also doing what we love to do. By the time you get in the ring all the hard work is done. It’s time to have fun and that’s what I’m gonna do in the ring.”

ISAAC LUCERO

“I’m extremely happy to have this opportunity. It’s a dream come true to be fighting in Las Vegas on this card headlined by Caleb Plant on Prime Video.

“Being in this position is a testament to the hard work I put in every day for years and years to reach this level. Now I have to go in there and reward all those people who have supported me from the beginning.

“I want people to see me and realize that dreams can come true. I come from a small town in Mexico and now I’m fighting under the bright lights.

“Nerves will always be there before a fight. But I study how to stay even-keeled and focused mentally. Combined with the support from my team, and the motivation they give me, there’s nothing I can’t do.”

**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 10^th-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.”

SAMPSON BOXING SIGNS CO-PROMOTIONAL DEAL WITH UNDEFEATED MEXICAN SUPER WELTERWEIGHT ISAAC LUCERO

March 12, 2025 – Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz proudly announces the signing of super welterweight prospect Isaac “La Bestia Jr.” Lucero (16-0, 12 KOs) to a co-promotional agreement, along with Mexico-based promoter Eric Ibarra of TM Boxing.

The 26-year-old Lucero hasn’t fought outside Mexico since his pro debut in 2019, a first-round knockout over Anthony Zender in Los Angeles. Lucero won the WBC Youth Silver Welter in 2021 with a seventh-round stoppage of countryman Dilan Loza Burgos and successfully defended it twice before relinquishing.

From Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Lucero recently traveled to Las Vegas to begin training under the tutelage of award-winning trainer Bob Santos at his VIP Gym, and says he’s pleased to now be working with the well-known PBC and ProBox TV-affiliated Lewkowicz.

“First of all, I want to thank God for this opportunity,” said Lucero. “I’m very happy and excited to join forces with Mr. Sampson Lewkowicz, who has placed his trust in me. I will work very hard to repay him with victories and go as far as possible in the sport I love.

Ibarra, a longtime staple of Mexican boxing, echoed the fighter’s sentiments. “I’m very happy about this agreement,” said Ibarra. “Sampson is a dear friend and a great promoter. I’m confident this decision is the right one. With his support and his team, we’ll soon put Isaac Lucero’s name in the spotlight of international boxing.”

“Working with Bob Santos will turn this very good boxer into a great one,” said a confident Lewkowicz. “I’m happy to be Isaac Lucero’s co-promoter, along with my old friend Eric Ibarra, and we will get to work on establishing him as a known name in the US boxing scene by securing him the correct fights and eventually helping him become a world champion.”
