Philadelphia, known for its rich boxing history, is set to witness another thrilling night of pugilistic action on Saturday, January 17th, at the iconic 2300 Arena. The main event features the undefeated and world-ranked heavyweight sensation, Dainier Pero, who is poised to showcase his skills in a seven-bout card promoted by King’s Promotions.
At just 26 years old, Dainier Pero, hailing from Miami via Camagüey, Cuba, has already made a significant impact in the heavyweight division. Currently ranked number seven by the WBA, Pero boasts an impressive record of 11-0 with eight knockouts. His amateur career was equally stellar, with gold medals at the 2019 Pan American Games and the 2016 Youth World Championships, as well as a stint at the 2020 Olympics. Since turning professional, Pero has continued to dominate, securing victories over notable opponents such as James Evans, Walter Burns, and most recently, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cesar Navarro in Orlando, Florida.
The undercard promises to deliver excitement as well, featuring a lineup of promising talent. In six-round bouts, Lemir Isom Riley of Harrisburg, PA, will face Joel Caudle of Raleigh, North Carolina. The lightweight division will see undefeated Mekhi Phillips of Maryland take on Yeuri Andujar of the Dominican Republic. Additionally, Pryce Sparrow of Radcliffe, Georgia, will compete against Eduardo Hernandez Trejo of Tijuana, Mexico, in a super lightweight bout.
