KANSAS CITY, مئی. (مئی 8, 2025) -The Magical Mystery Tour for Kansas boxing phenom Marco“El Tiburón”رومیرو (6-0, 5 کوس) will make a new stop on Saturday, مئی 24ویں, when the 19-year-old super middleweight faces upset specialist Noah Kidd in a six-round bout outdoors at Energy Plaza in downtown Topeka, کینساس.
Not only is this event considerably closer to his Olathe (KS) home than anywhere Romero has fought so far as a professional, but it is also a widely successful annual show that has reportedly drawn 8,000 مداحوں.
“I’m super excited, pumped up to fight only a 45-minute drive from my hometown for my fans,” Romero said. “They don’t need to drive 15 hours like they have or fly cross country. I’m really going to put on a show for my hometown fans. It’ll be nice to hear hometown fans cheering me on. Other than relatives who live in Denver, I made a few new fans in the other places I’ve fought. They’re starting to know who I am, and it’s really cool for people to come up to me saying they follow me.”
The 29-year-old Kidd (10-13-2, 5 کوس), fighting out of Jefferson, مسوری, recently knocked off then-18-0 Deshawn Prather by way of a 6-round unanimous decision.
“This will be Marco’s seventh fight in a year since turning pro because we have Marco on a fast track due to his vast amateur experience and desire to stay active and improve,” Romero’s legendary manager/trainer John Brown explained. “We are hopeful that Noah Kidd can withstand Marco’s shark (Marco’s nickname, ‘El Tiburón’ means ‘The Shark’ in English) bites and give him several rounds of good work.”
ایک پیشہ ور کے طور پر, the 23-time national amateur champion Romero has fought in Portland, Maine and Denver twice apiece, Tampa and Atlantic City. His aggressive schedule tentatively continues after Topeka on June 14 in Portland (ME), جون 27 in Wichita (KS), جولائی 25 اٹلانٹک سٹی میں, ستمبر 6 in Olathe and back to Portland (ME) نومبر 8.
“I love fighting this schedule, fighting every month or two,” Romero noted. “Maybe over time with all the wear and tear could tire me. But I was born to box; it’s my dream. Whoever Coach John (براؤن) puts in front of me; I tell him I got him.
“I do think about when I’ll be fighting only twice a year for a lot more money than I’m making today. That’s my goal but I’m focused on the present. I’m working hard every day to get better. آخر میں, I want to walk away from boxing healthy and hopefully wealthy, like Coach John says. I really like this plan.”
“’El Tiburon’ has four, maybe five bouts scheduled for the rest of the year and at that time, or before, we will partner up with one of the highly recognized promotional groups that have been pursuing Marco,” Brown added. “He is a promoter’s dream: نوجوان, handsome, articulate, bilingual, and he has an action-packed style. After watching ‘Canelo’ (Alvarez کی) last weekend……boxing needs a Marco Romero.”
