Springfield, Masse. (Juli 10, 2025) - Lige nu, Ubeæret junior mellemvægt Anthony “ATV” Velazquez (19-0-1, 14 KOS) kan være bokses bedst bevarede hemmelighed, Men planen er for ham at gøre et stort spring fra udsigten til titeludfordrer i 2026.

Kæmper ud af Springfield, Massachusetts, Den 29-årige Valezquez er fløjet under radaren, Kæmper aldrig med en verdensklassificeret modstander eller fremvist på en marquee -begivenhed. Hans manager, Gunther Fishgold, har sat scenen for et breakout 2026 For hans talentfulde Puerto Rican-American Fighter.

Planen kræver Velazquez, Hvem er en salgsfremmende gratis agent, At kæmpe tre gange, Fra juli 19th på Mohegan Sun, Plus to gange mere i 2025 eller næste januar, at placere ham til at være verdensklassificering og kæmpe på større faser i første kvartal af 2026.


”Jeg vil være den bedste, og jeg vil bevise mig selv,”Valezquez bemærkede. ”Jeg er bokses bedst bevarede hemmelighed, Men alle vil vide, hvem jeg er meget snart. Jeg kan godt lide dette tempo (kæmper hver 2-3 måneder) Fordi jeg altid er i gymnastiksalen. Ingen ferier; Bare gymnastiksalen og hjemmet. Dette er mit job, og jeg arbejder hårdt for at holde mine færdigheder skarpe. Jeg får godt arbejde på vores fitnesscenter, fordi min træner, Hector Bermudez, har altid krigere ind fra hele verden. Jeg har sparret meget med (Verdenskarpet weltervægt) Rohan Polanco (16-0, 10 KOS), Den Dominikanske Olympian, Og jeg sparer større fyre, for, Som super mellemvægt Steven Butler (36-5-1, 30 KOS) - 'Bang Bang' – Hvem var der klar til sin kamp (Juni 27, WKO4 vs.. Jose de Jesus Macias). Det arbejde, jeg får i gymnastiksalen, hjælper mig bestemt. Det føles godt at kæmpe for forskellige mennesker, fordi de alle har forskellige stilarter. ”
Team Velazquez har ikke målrettet nogen fighter især, Men en naturlig fjende er kollega New Englander, Chordale “The Gift” Booker (23-2, 11 KOS), af Stamford, Connecticut. Booker havde for nylig sit første verdens titelbillede, At miste sin udfordring til forenet (WBC & WBO) Super weltervægt verdensmesterSebastian Fundora (21-1-1, 14 KOS) ved hjælp af en stop i runde 4. 2026, måske, er weltervægtAlexis "Lex" Rocha (25-2-1, 16 KOS), Hvem er i øjeblikket verdenskarakterer på ingen. 1 (WBO), Do Not. 5 (IBF) og nr. 9 (WBC), men kun hvis han beslutter at flytte op til junior mellemvægtdivision. Velazquez er på træningslejr og forbereder sig til sin juli 19th Vend tilbage i en 8-runde bout Vs.Terry Chatwood(12-3-1) på Mohegan Sun i Uncasville, Connecticut, som kun er en 1 ½ times kørsel fra Velazquez 'hjem i Springfield.
”Jeg ved, at Chatwood kan lide at bokse sin bagfod, og han er hård,”Sagde Velazquez, ”Men han har intet, jeg er bekymret for. Jeg vil nedbryde ham og få ham ud derfra. Jeg har det godt i ringen. Mit forsvar og selvtillid er forbedret. Og jeg nyder at kæmpe på Mohegan Sun på grund af dens historie inden for boksning, og hvor tæt det er på Springfield. Det er som mit andet hjem (Dette vil være hans tredje kamp der)."


Anthony Velazquez er klar til at foretage bevægelser i 2026.

Los Angeles Inner-City Legend Undefeated bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez Fighting at home for first time this Saturday

Efterlad en kommentar

LOS ANGELES (Marts 17, 2022) – Undefeated Los Angeles bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez (8-0, 7 KOS) returns to the ring this Saturday (Hav. 19) to take on Roberto “Escorpion” Pucheta (10-20-3, 10 KOS), Golf, in a 6-round bout on the Blair Cobbs-Alexis Rocha card (replacing Vergil Ortiz, Jr.-Michael McKinson), presented by Golden Boy Promotions.

The main card will be streamed live on DAZN from USC Galen Center in Los Angeles; go to Golden Boy’s YouTube page to watch the Ramirez vs. Pucheta live stream.

Ramirez is an LA inner-city sports legend. His journey started on the gridiron, not in a ring, when he was a key member of the Lincoln High football team, profiled in a 2015 dokumentarfilm, “ESPN 60: Letterman.” The players were from a crime-ridden section of Hollywood riddled with drugs and guns. Ramirez was a 5’ 4”, 160-pound running back on a team that, starting in Pop Warner competition, and advanced to Lincoln High, which hadn’t experienced success in football. Lincoln High went on to become a 3-time league champion, highlighted by its semi-final playoff appearance in his senior year, which eventually led “Scrappy” to a roster spot on the Los Angeles Valley College’s football team.

“The venue is only a five-minute drive from my home,” an excited Ramirez said. “I literally drive by it every day. I grew up around USC and played football there. Nu, I’m fighting in the inner-city where I grew up. That’s pretty dope! My dream is to fight at Staples Center, which is only a three-minute drive for me. I’m getting closer.

“Things like this don’t happen by accident. On marts 18th, I’ll showcase my skills in front of my people. LA is the City of Champions, but we haven’t had a world boxing champion since Oscar de la Hoya, who grew up in East LA. My goal is to be the next LA champ.”

 “Scrappy,” who was one of the most active fighters in 2021 with seven bouts, successfully transitioned from football to boxing, albeit a relatively short amateur boxing career with only 25 amateur matches. He did garner top honors in the Sugar Bert National Championships, as well as in the regional Golden Gloves and SoCal tournaments.

“I last fought on December 18th, took a week off, and went right back to training camp at Brickhouse Boxing Club (N. Hollywood),” the 26-year-old Ramirez added. “I’m getting better and that’s super exciting for me. I’ve been with my strength-and-conditioning coach, running, and working on my boxing skills. My training hasn’t stopped, it’s going full force.”

Pucheta has been stopped only once in 33 pro slagsmål, back in 2016 by Emanuel Navarrete, the current World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Bantamweight Champion, who sports a 35-1 (29 KOS) pro rekord.

“He’s a tough, durable opponent,” Ramirez noted, “who has been in the ring with a lot of good prospects. This is a great opportunity for me to make a statement by becoming only the second to knock him out.”

Ramirez’ accelerated pace and development continues this Saturday, when it’ll be “Scrappy Time” once again, only this time at home.

“I want to be at the top and will,” he concluded. “Every fight elevates me. My goal is to be No. 1 in my weight class, and I’ll get there because of my hard work and dedication.”

LOS ANGELES (September 21, 2016) – NABA Lightweight champion Peter “Zar” Petrov (37-4-2, 18 KO s) of Ryazan, Russia and WBA Number 3 rated Lightweight contender, Michael “The Artist” Perez (24-1-2, 11 KOS) af Newark, N.J. hosted a media workout in Los Angeles today, ahead of their battle for the WBA Lightweight World Title Eliminator on September 30 at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and broadcast live nationally on Estrella TV’s Boxeo Estelar. Also in attendance were televised fighters Alexis Rocha (4-0, 3 KOS) of Santa Ana, Calif. and co-main event, Genaro “El Conde” Gamez (2-0, 2 KOS) San Diego. East Los Angeles’ Jonathan “Thunder” Navarro (6-0, 5 KOS) who is scheduled for a six-round super lightweight fight against Larry Carrillo (5-1, 2 KOS) af Houston, Texas was also onsite.

Below is what the fighters had to say at today’s media work out:

PETR “ZAR” PETROV, NABA Lighweight Champion:

“This is one of the best camps I’ve had in my career. I started with part of my training camp in Madrid with my brother Vlad and out here the last two months with my trainer Danny Zamora and my strength trainer Jerry Arios helping me prepare for this fight.

“I’ve been feeling very strong. It’s been easy for me to make my weight, and my body has been good at this weight class.”

MICHAEL “THE ARTIST” PEREZ, WBA Number 3 Rated Lightweight Contender:

“I’ve been training with Robert Garcia for two and a half years now, and I’ve seen the results. Under his guidance, I have been able to win the NABO Lightweight Title, and now we get to work hard for the WBA title eliminator.

“Dette er en kæmpe kamp, and both my opponent and I are going in heavy, I’ve got to win– and my training with Garcias is a reflection of that. I’m stronger and more confident, now more than ever.”

GENARO GAMEZ, Super Fjervægt Prospect:

“I started my career sparring my brothers and cousins since I was seven years old. Boxing is a brutal sport, not including the physical stuff going on in the ring–but the diet, the discipline, and the mental game you always have to play. I know I have talent, and boxing just comes naturally to me.

“Every boxer will tell you that they want to win, that they want the world title, and that they want to leave a legacy behind them–and so do I. The only difference between them and me is that I have an amazing team behind me, that is empowering me and helping me utilize my skills to get the win. Being the co-main event this upcoming September 30th at Fantasy is a testament to the hard work we have put in.”

ALEXIS ROCHA,Welterweight Proespect;

“It’s been a ride this past year — I’ve been a pro for little less than a year, and I am so excited for the progress I have seen. I have been blessed to be able to be surrounded by such great talent, and it’s been a great experience so far.

“This training camp I’ve been working on my jab, combinations, and being able to work the body. It doesn’t matter who I am scheduled to fight, I have to be ready regardless. Ronny has been a great older brother and mentor for me. He pushes me to be confident, and not get a big head while still being aggressive in the ring. I never imagined myself to be where I am now!”

JONATHAN “THUNDER” NAVARRO, Super Lightweight Prospect:

“I am ready for whatever opponent is placed for me in the ring. I’ve been sparring with the best including Michael Perez, Alexis Rocha, Mikey Perez, and other athletes that have pushed me to improve — there is always something new to learn in the gym.

“I know my opponent has a strong left hand, and I personally have been working on my movement with my head and my hips, as well as being light on my feet while still playing pressure on my opponent.”
