Leading the night’s action is the headline fight between current WBC Continental Americas Middleweight Champion Lázaro Lorenzana, known as “El Rey,” and Hassam Valenzuela, nicknamed “La Sombra.” Lorenzana, who boasts an impressive record of 14-0 with 10 KOs, will face Valenzuela, who holds a record of 20-7-2 with 16 KOs, in an eight-round battle at a catchweight of 165 pounds.
“We had a great training camp with tough sparring sessions. He’s got a lot of experience and can do what he wants, but I’m ready to trade blows with him, so it should be a good fight,” said Lorenzana.
Lázaro Lorenzana, a Mexican-American boxer, has deep roots in the region, having trained there since 2013 and represented Baja California in official competitions. “I’ve been training here since 2013 and have been part of the Baja California team, so I know everyone, and it feels like a second home,” he remarked.
The broadcast team for the night includes boxing legends and experts such as Erik “Terrible” Morales, Jackie Nava, Eduardo Camarena, and international judge Juan Carlos Pelayo.
The first bout is scheduled to begin at 5 PM, with tickets available at the venue.
