| Kansas City, Maio. (Xullo 29, 2025) - Nineteen-year-old boxing phenom Marco “El Tiburón” Romero (9-0, 8 Kos) will make his hometown debut as a professional on September 6, headlining “The Homecoming” Pro-Am card, presented by Turner Boxing Academy, no Embaixado Hotel Suites & Centro de conferencias en Olathe, Kansas.“The Homecoming” is a fundraiser for the Turner Boxing Academy, owned and operated by boxing legend John Brown, in Kansas City, Kansas. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to SAFE KIDS CONTE. “This will be a special event celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Turner Boxing Academy,” explained Turner, who is Romero’s manager/head trainer. It’s a tough homecoming fight for Marco.” The primary sponsor of this event is McCarthy Auto Group. “I’m elated to support the Turner Boxing Academy’s 20th anniversary event,” McCarthy Auto Group founder and owner John McCarthy comentou. “This is clearly a reputable organization and non-profit. I’ve been impressed with Marco Romero and recognize how pivotal early support can be in shaping a career.” Romero was a 23-time national amateur champion, highlighted by gold medal performances in the 2024 USA National Championships and National Golden Gloves Tournament, for which he was selected as the “Golden Boy” Award winner as the Most Outstanding Boxer. He is matched against Javier Dario Aragon (7-1-1, 3 Kos), fighting out of Denver by way of Mexico, in the 8-round main event. “Fighting at home means so much to me,” Romero said about fighting in Olathe. “It’s giving me that extra motivation and drive to work hard every single day in the gym. I’m ready to give my people from KC and Olathe a show.” Romero, currently a promotional free agent, has needed only 17 rounds in his 9 loitas profesionais, registering 8 paradas, including his last six fights in a row. He is set to compete as a middleweight for the first time after previously fighting at super middleweight, his sixth fight in 2025. “Going down to middleweight has always been the plan,” Romero noted. “My dream is to be a multi-world champion in different weight classes. I’m excited to see how I feel going to middleweight and see how I feel after this fight. Our plan is to go even lower in weight to super welterweight. “I’m ready and excited to fight 8-rounds. Our opposition will be tougher – we know that – so we are preparing for a hard fought 8-rounder or finish it earlier Either way we are coming Shark Style!" Proud of his Mexican American heritage, Marco’s boxing idols are Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Julio Cesar Chavez e, claro, his namesake, Marco Antonio Barrera. Romero’s ultimate goal is to bring world championship boxing back to Kansas, in order to give back to his community and inspire other young and upcoming boxers from Kansas City, not necessarily just in boxing, but any sport. His ultimate goal is to fill up Arrowhead Stadium one day, either fighting for a world title, or defending his world title belt. In the 10-round co-featured event, Topeka (KS) peso-pesado John “Iron Man” Cantrell (14-0, 13 Kos) vai asumir Portland “The Prince” Pringle (5-5, 1 KO), who is from Lexington, Kentucky. The undercard will feature Kansas City’s (KS) popular Davidson brothers, Marcell Davidson (6-0, 4 Kos) Marcus Davidson (6-1, 5 Kos), both fighting as welterweights in separate 4-round fights. Marcell was a 2-time winner of The Ringside World Championships, así como o 2019 Torneo Luvas de Ouro nacionais.
