Featured Fighters

Albert Gonzalez (12-0, 7 KOs), training under the renowned Robert Garcia, is one of boxing’s brightest prospects. The 21-year-old went 5-0 in 2024, capping off the year with a dominant eight-round shutout of Gerardo Antonio Perez. He now faces Dana Coolwell (13-3, 8 KOs), a rugged six-year pro who recently battled Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington.

Steven Navarro (5-0, 4 KOs), a U.S. Olympic Team Trials finalist, is quickly climbing the junior bantamweight ranks. The southpaw has won three straight by knockout, including a second-round stoppage of Gabriel Bernardi in December. He faces Juan Esteban Garcia (14-1-2, 11 KOs), who is riding a three-fight win streak and making his U.S. debut.
