**Arena Tecate Opens Its Doors with Boxing Event by Promotions León**
The new Arena Tecate is set to host its inaugural boxing event, organized by Promotions León, this Saturday, December 21. The grand opening will feature a packed card of 10 bouts, headlined by the promising fight between young prospects Brandon Alegría and Luis Bojórquez. Alegría currently boasts a record of 3-0 with all wins by knockout, while Bojórquez stands at 1-0.
The fighters confidently faced off at the weigh-in, both making weight with no issues. “We’re ready. We’ve cleared the first hurdle which is making weight, and I thank God that went smoothly for both myself and my opponent. Now, we’re eager to step into the ring. I do have a slight height advantage, so we’ll be focusing on utilizing that to maintain distance,” expressed Brandon “Hammer” Alegría.
Alegría, 22, emphasized his pride in headlining the card at this newly refurbished venue. “I am extremely honored to represent Promotions León and to have the opportunity to open this beautiful arena, a place where many would wish to fight. It’s a special moment for me,” he stated.
Fans can also look forward to the return of Axel Velázquez facing David Mendoza and Carlos “Cheesecake” Camacho against Sergio Vázquez. The boxing night is slated to begin at 7 PM, with tickets available at Arena Tecate’s box office.
