This is the first time that the island has become the focus of the global boxing scene.
Heavyweight “Hulk” Castillo boxes for first title
Two major WBA title fights take center stage. Local hero Samuel Carmona (13-1, 5 knockouts) meets the experienced Venezuelan Rodrigo Ramirez (21-2-2, 13 knockouts) in the flyweight division. Carmona’s goal: to finally position himself among the world’s best with a victory in front of his home crowd. In the heavyweight division, the “Cuban Hulk” Carlos Castillo Rodriguez (10-0, 6 knockouts) will also step into the ring against Argentinian Jonathan Exequiel Vergara (9-3, 5 knockouts). For Castillo it’s about the “WBA Fedelatin” title. The next important step in his still young but promising career.
Another sporting highlight is the appearance of Arlen Lopez (6-0, 2 knockouts). AGON’s double Olympic champion (2016 and 2020) will face Argentinian Leonel Eduardo Avila (12-4, 4 knockouts) in a ten-round super middleweight bout.
