The 26-year-old’s only other 2025 outing was a two-round win over 16-9 Mexican Juan Ramirez Marquez but Matchroom wasted no time announcing his first fight under their banner. Shortly after declaring the signing, they confirmed a homecoming for the champion, on February 6 in Guadalajara against former flyweight champion Adrian Curiel, who is 26-6-1 (5 KOs), and who has won his last two – both 10-round decisions – since consecutive defeats to South Africa’s Sivenathi Nontshinga and England’s Sunny Edwards.
