“I’m very proud to present these future champions on 的ShoBox: 新一代, a show that has built so many careers and champions,” said promoter Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing. “It’s very exciting to present so many undefeated fighters against each other in one event. Every one of these fighters are putting their young careers on the line and three of them will move forward and three will step back that night.”
Nicknamed “The Towering Inferno” and trained by his father, the 21-year-old Fundora fought three times in 2018 and has been called the tallest 154-pound boxer in the division’s history. Often holding a five- to eight-inch height advantage over his opponents, Fundora has knocked out his last four opponents and started 2019 in electrifying fashion with a third-round knockout of then 10-0 甄子丹马歇尔. Nine of his 12 wins have come against opponents with winning records.
“It’s an honor to be the headliner on a ShoBox event,”芬多拉说, originally from West Palm Beach, 佛罗里达州。, whose all-action style has been compared to former world champion Antonio Margarito. “My opponent, 赫克托·泽佩达, is from a respected Tijuana boxing family and he will be very tough. A victory over an undefeated fighter like Zepeda will be a big step forward for me. 培训进展顺利, and I’ll be more than ready to give the fans another exciting performance on June 21.”
Also 21-years-old, Zepeda is a busy, five-year veteran who goes by the nickname “Baby” and who fought five times in 2018. His father Ernesto Zepeda is a former professional boxer and he’s trained by noted Mexican trainer Romulo Quirarte. 在他的职业生涯, Ernesto sparred all-time great Julio Cesar Chavez, SR. and Hector is a currently sparring with Julio Cesar Chavez, JR. Zepeda is coming off a unanimous decision win over Giovanny Gonzalez on May 18 蒂华纳. 二月里, Zepeda scored an eight-round unanimous decision over Jesus Javier Gutierrez Montenegro.
“This is the first opportunity that has been presented to me at this caliber,” Zepeda said. “Fundora is a strong fighter, much taller than most. He loves to exchange blows and I am sure this is going to be a great fight. 培训会很大. I am working very hard physically and mentally to leave everything inside the ring June 21. A victory over Fundora on SHOWTIME will open doors, so that a lot of people will know who I am and open the way for better things in my career.”
The 21-year-old Rivera from Santo Domingo, 多明尼加共和国, is a hard-hitting three-year professional fighting for the first time in the United States. Rivera has stopped five of his last six opponents and was last seen scoring a two-round stoppage over Argentina’s Carlos Daniel Cordoba in January. He has faced eight fighters with winning records, including two who were previously undefeated.
“I am super excited to have this opportunity to fight on 的ShoBox,” Rivera said. “That is where all boxers dream to fight on, especially those with less opportunities like me. My opponent is shorter than me and fights at half-distance and likes to counterattack. He uses his jab a lot and is used to fighting bigger rivals. He’s also more active the first three rounds, then starts to lower the intensity. I need to be aware of his overhand right.”
The 20-year-old Tellez Giron is a native of Queretaro, 墨西哥. The undefeated slugger known as “El Bravo” is an almost four-year professional with a reputation for fighting in his opponents’ backyard and still coming away victorious. 一个多才多艺的业余, Tellez Giron had 180 amateur fights starting at the age of 12 and was a state, regional and national champion, as well as Golden Gloves champ. He turned pro at the age of 15 而在 2018 traveled to Ukraine where he captured the vacant WBC Youth Silver title. 在他的最后一战, he stopped fellow Mexican Mario Enrique Martinez in two rounds in December of last year. He has faced nine fighters with winning records, including five who were undefeated.
“In reality, 对我来说, this is just another fight,” Tellez Giron said. “I have been in tough fights before and this is nothing new for me. I am aiming for bigger and better things, so I feel very motivated because this is the time to demonstrate what I have and to show everyone what I am made of. Rivera is a strong fighter, who likes to use distance. I also know that he is very disciplined.”
The 23-year-old Romero is a native of Cordoba, 阿根廷. He won the World Boxing Council Latino Super Featherweight Title in November 2017 and defended it twice. He is also the current Argentina (FAB) Super Featherweight Title and International Boxing Federation Latino Super Featherweight Champion.
“I am a proud champion of Argentina, but now I’m ready to do what so many of my great countrymen have done and bring my skills to the world,”罗梅罗说, fighting for the first time in the U.S. “It is a great honor to fight on SHOWTIME, where so many champions have fought before me. From my pro debut, my promoter Sampson Lewkowicz has promised me this chance and now it’s here. I will not blow it. I am training like all my dreams depend on winning. They do.”
Solano is a 26-year-old native of Monteria, 哥伦比亚. The hard-punching Solano is a former World Boxing Association Fedebol Lightweight Champion and in 2012 哥伦比亚全国运动会第三名. 在他的最后一战, 十月，他在五回合比赛中击败了赫苏斯·曼努埃尔·桑多瓦尔 2018. 他目前正在康普顿的康普顿拳击馆接受训练, 加利福尼亚州。, 并由 Jose Ponce 训练, SR. 和他的儿子何塞·庞塞, JR.
“I feel very fortunate to have this platform to showcase my talent,” Solano said. “My opponent has an extensive record and I know he’s a good fighter and, 像我这样的, I know that he is probably preparing for a war. I look forward to demonstrating all the hard work I am putting in for this fight and at the end of the fight, I will continue to be undefeated.”
