GUADALAJARA, MX (February 5, 2026) – Fast-rising undefeated middleweight prospect Sebastian Juarez (10-0, 8 KOs), representing Brownsville, Texas, is set to return to action tomorrow, Friday, February 6, in a scheduled 6-round bout against Mexico’s Ernesto Sanchez Rodriguez (5-2-1, 4 KOs). The fight will take place at the Domo Alcalde in Guadalajara, Mexico, on a stacked card promoted by BXSTRS and Matchroom Boxing and will be televised live on DAZN.

Juarez, known for his explosive power and incredible chin, is looking to extend his unbeaten record while taking another key step forward in his career under the guidance of Boxlab Promotions.

Juarez is entering the ring against a battle-tested opponent with legitimate knockout power. With his undefeated record on the line in foreign territory, Juarez is confident that will come out victorious. “I respect Rodriguez,” said Juarez. “He’s got power in both hands and he’s not coming to lay down. That’s exactly the kind of challenge that motivates me. I know he’s dangerous—but that only pushes me to be sharper, smarter, and stronger when the bell rings.”

Juarez emphasized the importance of facing tough opponents early in his career as he stated, “If I want to be great, I have to face guys who can punch and who aren’t afraid to test me. That’s how you grow. I’m not here to build a padded record—I’m here to make a name for myself and solidify myself as a top prospect.”

Juarez recently wrapped up an intense training camp in Las Vegas with renowned coach Bob Santos and the experience has him feeling more prepared than ever. “Training in Vegas with Coach Bob Santos has been a game changer for me. Every day was about discipline, precision, and getting better in every area, from footwork to defense to ring IQ. I came out of this camp stronger mentally and physically.”

With his sights set on victory, Juarez promises fans a performance that blends excitement with growth. “When you surround yourself with a championship-level team, you absorb that energy,” he added. “Coach Santos pushes me, and I’m leveling up because of it. I can’t wait to show the world what we’ve been working on. Expect fire and focus. I always bring action, but now I’m bringing more maturity, more patience, and more purpose to my style. I want fans to see that I’m evolving into a complete fighter.”

“This is just the beginning,” Juarez concluded with confidence, “I’m coming to Guadalajara to represent Brownsville, my family, and everyone who believes in me—and I’m leaving everything in the ring.”

Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, spoke highly of Juarez’s progression and potential. “Sebastian Juarez is the definition of a rising star. With each fight, you can see the growth, not just in skill, but in how he carries himself as a professional.

We’re proud of the work he’s put in with Coach Bob Santos and the commitment he’s shown to his craft. Fans tuning in on DAZN will see a young fighter who’s on his way to becoming a serious contender.”




“Round of the Year” Candidate Unfolds in Explosive Clash Between Undefeated Prospect Sebastian Juarez and Veteran Demarcus Layton

ORLANDO, FL (October 20, 2025) — Fans tuning in to DAZN for Most Valuable Promotions’ “Most Valuable Prospects 16” were treated to an unforgettable war at the South Padre Island Convention Center, as unbeaten middleweight prospect Sebastian Juarez (10-0, 8 KOs) of Brownsville, Texas, survived early adversity to stop seasoned veteran Demarcus Layton (10-8-1, 7 KOs) in a wild, action-packed first round that is already being hailed as a “Round of the Year” contender.

What was scheduled as a six-round bout turned into a dramatic shootout in just three breathless minutes. The fireworks began early when Juarez, who is promoted by Boxlab Promotions, was stunned and sent to the canvas by a thunderous right hand from Layton. Shaken but not broken, Juarez beat the count but was deducted two points for excessive holding in the chaos that followed.

Just when it looked like the tide had turned against the rising prospect, Juarez answered back with equal ferocity, sending Layton crashing to the canvas with a powerful right hand of his own. Layton bravely rose to continue but was dropped again moments later, hanging precariously on the ropes as the referee issued a count.

Sensing the finish, Juarez unleashed a relentless flurry of punches that knocked Layton down for the third time in the round, stopping the contest and giving the Texan a dramatic first-round TKO victory, preserving his undefeated record.

“I got caught early, but I stayed calm and trusted my training,” said Juarez. “Every fight is a lesson, and this fight reminded me that it’s not how you start, it’s how you respond. I was in great shape and it showed. I want to keep growing and keep representing Brownsville with heart and humility.”

Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions and Juarez’s promoter, praised the young fighter’s resilience and poise under pressure. “Sebastian showed the heart of a true warrior against Layton. Most fighters would’ve folded after a knockdown and point deductions—but not him. He dug deep, stayed composed, and delivered an incredible performance. The future is bright for this young man and he’s much watch TV whenever he steps in the ring.”

With this statement win, Juarez not only extends his perfect record to (10-0, 8 KOs) but also cements himself as a must-watch name in the middleweight division. The bout has quickly gained momentum online as a leading candidate for Round of the Year, with millions of views globally.

SEBASTIAN “EL TRUENO” JUAREZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

ORLANDO, FL (August 18, 2025) — Boxlab Promotions’ rising middleweight prospect, Sebastian Juarez (8-0, 5 KOs) of Brownsville, Texas, is prime and ready for his upcoming fight with Louis Hernandez (12-3-1, 10 KOs), from Forest, Mississippi. The 6-round bout is scheduled to air live on DAZN as part of MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 14 card taking place this Friday, August 22, 2025, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. Tickets can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.

Juarez gives his thoughts on his upcoming matchup with Hernandez, his recent training camp in Las Vegas with decorated boxing coach, Bob Santos, fighting on DAZN, and more.

Juarez knows he’s stepping into the ring with a dangerous opponent, but he welcomes the challenge and sees it as the perfect opportunity to prove himself. “Louis Hernandez is a tough guy, no doubt—he’s got experience, power, and he’s been in with good fighters. But I’m not here to pad a record, I’m here to prove myself. I respect what he brings to the ring, but on August 22, the difference will be my hunger and my discipline. I fight every round like my back’s against the wall, and Hernandez is going to feel that pressure from the opening bell.”

Preparing in Las Vegas under the guidance of world-renowned trainer Bob Santos has elevated Juarez’s mindset and skillset heading into this fight. “Working with Coach Santos has been a blessing. Every day in Vegas, I’m sharpening not just my body, but my mind. He’s been in the corners of world champions, and the knowledge he’s giving me can’t be bought—it’s earned. He pushes me beyond what I thought I was capable of, and that’s exactly what I need to make the leap from prospect to contender.”

Fighting on a global platform like DAZN as part of the MVP series is not lost on Juarez—he sees it as a chance to showcase his talent to the world. “This is a dream stage for a fighter like me. Millions of fans around the world are going to tune in on DAZN, and they’re going to see what Brownsville, Texas is all about. MVP is putting the spotlight on prospects, and I plan to steal the show by letting my hands go and showing why I belong on the biggest stages in boxing.”

For Juarez, victory isn’t just about staying undefeated—it’s about making a statement that pushes his career to the next level. “Every fight is a step toward the top, and this win is about momentum. I’m undefeated, but I’m not satisfied—I want to make a statement that gets the fans talking and the contenders noticing. A victory over Hernandez proves I’m ready for tougher names, bigger stages, and eventually, championship fights. I’m not here to be another face in boxing—I’m here to carve my name into it.”

Boxlab Promotions President Amaury Piedra believes Juarez is quickly becoming one of boxing’s most exciting young fighters because of his fearless, action-first style. “Sebastian Juarez is one of the most exciting young fighters we’ve seen come out of Texas in years. The way he lets his hands go, the way he attacks in combinations—it’s pure entertainment. Fans know they’re going to get action every time he steps in the ring. We’re proud to be part of his journey, and we believe he has the tools, the work ethic, and the fire to go very far in this sport.”

We’ve pushed hard with strength and conditioning to make sure I’m prepared for every round. I feel strong and sharp—ready to go. Patience, accuracy, and smart pressure is what fans can expect from me in this fight. I don’t waste punches. When I land, it’s with purpose—and this time will be no different.”

Now facing a dangerous puncher in Cameron, who owns an impressive KO ratio, Juarez aims to show he’s more than ready for the next level. “Cameron is a dangerous power puncher, and I respect that,” continued Juarez. “But I’ve faced pressure before, and I’m ready to match his power with precision and grit. I know how to break him down.”

Looking for a win Juarez says a victory would build his profile and show he belongs on the national stage.
