The main event of the evening will feature a thrilling matchup for the WBC Junior Flyweight title, with Andy Dominguez from Bronx, New York, facing off against veteran Nicaraguan boxer Byron Rojas.
“Both fighters have impressive records and will be giving it their all in the ring. The age difference between them is significant, with Rojas being almost a decade older than Dominguez. However, Rojas’s experience and skill will be put to the test as he faces off against the younger and more aggressive Dominguez.” -Larry Goldberg, Promoter of Boxing Insider Promotions
