As reported to Hit the Cuban Boxing Federation (FCB), which coordinates the professional fights of its boxers with the Mexican company Golden Ring, the next to enter the ring will be double Olympic champion Roniel Iglesias (147 pounds), who will fight on September 30 in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
The note does not specify the opposite of the man from Pinar del Río, nor the one that his countryman and triple world champion Lázaro Álvarez (135 pounds) will face on October 7 in the Mexican city of Hermosillo. Of the latter, it is announced that the fight will be eight rounds.
The report adds that although the venue and opponents have not been made official, the FCB announced that new fights are being arranged for Julio César La Cruz (200 pounds), Osvel Caballero (130 pounds) and Arlen López himself on a card scheduled for October 28.
In the same way, he explains that, contrary to what was previously announced, Lázaro Álvarez will not fight this September 24 in Barranquilla, Colombia, “due to the non-identification of a high-level rival.”
Since the Cuban Federation agreed with Golden Ring for the representation of the Island’s boxers in the professional circuitsCuban fighters have had a dozen fights in the rented sport, all ending with victories.
However, until now the opponents of the Antilleans, although with experience in these circuits, have not been mostly high-level figures who have put the quality of the Island’s boxers to the test, who have comfortably dominated the fights and in many cases have been imposed by knockout.
