Los Angeles, COMME (Mars 19, 2021) -This Saturday night, one of the top prospects in boxing will be back in action at the Miami Airport Hilton in Miami, Florida as undefeated featherweight Jalen Walker takes on grizzled veteran Julian Aristule in a bout scheduled for six-rounds. Walker of Los Angeles is 7-0 with six knockouts and is looking to add his most experienced foe to his resume.
After a successful amateur career that saw him amass a record of 108-13, and was a three-time National PAL champion; Two-Time Silver Medal winner in the Junior Olympics; Time-Time Silver Medal winner in the Adidas Nationals among his endless accolades. Walker turned professional at the age of 17.
Walker won his first six bouts in Tijuana, Mexico before winning his American debut, which was a unanimous decision over Diuhl Olguin. “I am ready to put on a show. I have put in a lot of hard work for this fight. I have seen a little bit of Aristule. I do not look at too much of my opponents, I let my team do that, but what I have seen is that he is on his way out,” dit Walker.
Aristule of Argentina has had a successful career by amassing a record of 34-14 avec 17 KO, and is a former WBO Latino Super Bantamweight champion. He defeated two undefeated fighters, and has wins over several more quality opponents.
The ambitious Walker kept in good shape during the Coronavirus lockdown, and was ready for action when he took on Olguin last December 20th.
“Je ne ai jamais arrêté la formation. I stayed in shape, and continued to run and spar,” continued Walker.
Walker, who started boxing at age seven as he followed in the footsteps of his father Norman and grandfather, who were both amateur boxers. Walker is one of the most followed boxers on social media as he boasts over137,000 followers on Instagramknows that platforms like that are very important in today’s world of sports and entertainment.
“I think the key to that is consistency. When I first started getting 1,000 views or so, I thought it was a big deal. I had about 6,000 followers before my pro debut, and it has continued to grow. When I start to fight on bigger cards, I can see that even skyrocketing. There are many world champions that don’t get nearly the views that I get. I am just waiting patiently, and when everything happens, things will click perfectly, It is going to be big.”
Walker has gained valuable experience sparring with several world champions such as Danny Roman, Ange Acosta, Joseph Diaz Jr. and Murodjon Akhmadaliev .
Jalen is on the cusp of signing with a major promoter, and he knows that he brings a lot to the table both in and out of the ring. “I bring what I can do as a fighter, but also with social media, that even helps promote their events when I am fighting. I am the total package Walker is managed by Waterfront Boxing, which is headed up by the duo of Rene Symonds and Clement Kwan.
The pair see a huge future for Walker.
“Our job as managers to a top talent like Jalen is to build a foundation for him to showcase his talents, flourish as a brand and to develop as a young man,” said Kwan.
Symonds added, “Jalen is an incredibly exciting fighter who eats, dort et respire la boxe. We’re incredibly proud of how active he has been during the pandemic – with five outings last year. This bout against a 48-fight veteran is another step towards fulfilling his destiny”
McCaskill envisage des confrontations avec Taylor et Shields
Chicago, IL (Mars 17, 2021) – Fraîchement sortie de sa deuxième victoire consécutive sur le futur Hall of Famer, Cecilia Braekhus, champion poids welter incontesté, Jessica McCaskill cherche à combattre les plus grands noms du circuit féminin.
McCaskill de Chicago, facilement surpassé le légendaire Braekhus par des dizaines de 100-89, 99-90 et 98-91 pour remporter sa cinquième consécutive et hisser son record à 10-2.
“J'ai senti que mon agressivité était vraiment bonne, juste garder la pression non-stop, et nous sommes prêts pour la suite. Elle courait dans, et s'est encombrée, et je me suis dit que si elle allait courir, Il faudrait que je fasse au moins un ou deux coups, et elle a continué à le faire, donc j'ai continué à le faire aussi. Je voulais bouger et montrer d'autres angles, mais elle a continué à entrer directement, alors elle était là,” dit McCaskill.
“Un combat avec Katie Taylor pourrait être la prochaine chose à l'ordre du jour. Si c'est ça, ce serait génial. Si ça ne marche pas, alors il y a quelques autres noms là-bas. Quant à Claressa Shields, McCaskill pense qu'un combat avec elle peut arriver, “Cela pourrait être une possibilité si Claressa pouvait arriver à 147 livres. D'abord, elle a dit qu'elle n'abandonnerait aucun poids, et maintenant elle dit qu'elle le ferait, nous allons donc devoir voir s'ils vont prendre cela au sérieux.”
Dit le promoteur de McCaskill, Leon Margules des Guerriers de boxe, “Jessica a encore prouvé qu'elle est l'une des meilleures combattantes du monde. Elle a maintenant dominé le combattant qui a été la livre de longue date du meilleur boxeur. Nous aimerions combattre n'importe qui, et un combat avec Katie Taylor aurait très certainement un résultat différent de leur premier combat. Les combats avec Taylor ou Claressa seraient des combats historiques car ils opposeraient deux des champions incontestés en titre.” Photos/Boxe Match

Machado, 30, scored a knockdown in each of the first two rounds with well-placed right-hand counter punches. Fierro displayed a durable chin and beat the count easily both times, signaling that he was not hurt by the crunching power punches. Fierro was down 48-45 on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage.
“I’m happy, I faced a top-notch fighter tonight in Alberto Machado,” said Fierro, who was a three-to-one underdog. “He is world class and dropped me twice. But I am ecstatic that I was able to come back and beat a fighter of his caliber.”
The 22-year-old lightweight turned the fight around in the fourth round as he dedicated himself to a vicious body attack against Machado. The body work paid dividends as he found openings throughout the fifth and sixth round, ultimately leading to a vicious left hand that sent the former titlist to the canvas for the first and only time in the fight. Fierro credited finding his second wind to his two-year-old daughter back in Mexico.
“He dropped me twice in the beginning of the fight,” added Fierro. “When I got back to my corner, I told them, ‘remind me of my daughter.’ Because with this fight I can change her life and that’s exactly what they did after the third round. They motivated me and that’s exactly what I did.”
Prior to the fight, Fierro told the Ring City USA broadcast team, “the best judge is a knockout when you’re fighting in someone else’s hometown.” The Mexican warrior, who replaced undefeated prospect Hector Tanajara on one week’s notice, delivered on his promise to take matters into his own hands.
“We found a lot of gaps in Machado’s game in the sixth round,” stated Fierro. “I took advantage of them and I turned it around. I told you in the interview (avant le combat), I didn’t come here to be a tourist in Puerto Rico. I came here to win.”
Immediately preceding the main event, L'IrlandeJoe Ward (3-1, 2 KOs) avenged his only professional loss with a dominating unanimous decision victory overCadre mince(7-2, 5 KOs) in their six-round light heavyweight tilt.

Two of the ringside judges scored seven rounds for Ibarra (79-73) while the third saw it 77-75 for the winner. Ibarra, who hails from Monterrey, Mexique, brought the fight to the Los Angeles native throughout the fight and was the far busier fighter.
“Now the world knows who Alma Ibarra is and what she is made of,” said the victor. “To everyone, I was a stranger. And to fight against someone who is very recognized worldwide in Maricela Cornejo and beat her, this opened many doors for us.”
Ibarra, 32, returned from a 16-month layoff following her first professional defeat against Raquel Miller in 2019. Ibarra, who had a successful amateur career, looked comfortable as she commanded the ring against the seasoned professional in 33-year-old Cornejo. Ibarra, a natural welterweight, was fighting at the heaviest weight of her career (156 lbs.).
“I felt very good, très fort, as this is a division that I am not used to,” said Ibarra. “I always fight in lower divisions, we had to go up two divisions to take this great opportunity, and well, I think we were not wrong to take this risk.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Mars 15, 2021) – There is no more of a family affair in USA Boxing thanKayla Gomez’s, in which her mother, Crystal Aceves, and grandmother, Cindy Aceves, work her corner.
They will be together once again at the 2020 Championnats nationaux de boxe USA, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 – Avril 3, à Shreveport, Le.
The 18-year-old Gomez, who lives in El Paso (TX), is a youth flyweight (112 lbs.) boxeur, who finished second at the 2019 Championnats nationaux, highlighting her first year in Youth competition. She has a growing supply of gold medals having finished on top at the 2019 & 2018 Open régional de l'Ouest, 2018 & 2017 Junior Open Championships, et 2018 & 2017 Open régional de l'Est. She is also a 5-time National Junior Olympic champion (2015 par 2019).
A self-described multi-dimensional boxer, Kayla is a counter puncher and consummate boxer, displaying veteran-like “ringmanship,” but also capable of being a technical brawler and pressure fighter. She first started boxing in 2012 after watching a documentary on the 2012 Olympics.
“The inspiration of the boxers training to earn a gold medal motivated me to learn this unique sport,” Gomez explained. “I dedicate my whole life to boxing and as of right now, amateur boxing has impacted my life in a positive manner, paving my way in the near future to earn different accolades and experience for an Olympic gold medal and my pro career.”
Her mother, Crystal, is an amateur boxer who has competed in many tournaments. She will not compete in these championships this year because she is fully focused right now on her daughter and her future. She will be competing at other 2021 tournaments.
“As a boxer, my mom knows what it’s like to be in my position, so instead of getting mad at me, she gives me alternatives to do when I’m feeling low or not myself to have a better chance of being the best fighter I can be,” Kayla explained what it’s like having her mother and grandmother working her corner. “We all have a great relationship and work well in the ring together. They understand what it’s like to be in my position.”
A high school senior, Kayla is in a K-12 program for an online school due to her busy schedule. She does plan to attend college and share her boxing with educational opportunities.
“My education is just as important as my boxing,” She concluded. “I will attend college and work really hard to accomplish my goal of earning a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics and beginning my pro career afterwards.”
Kayla Gomez is a legacy boxer with a promising future.
