The WBO remembers the great promoter, who passed away last night in Florida

Boxing has lost a great man. Promoter Félix ‘Tuto’ Zabala, Sr. passed away last night at his daughter’s home in Florida, surrounded by his family. He was 83 years old.

“There are no promoters like Tuto anymore. He was from another era, and he was one of the best,” said World Boxing Organization President Francisco ‘Paco’ Valcárcel, Esq.

Born and raised in Cuba, Zabala became a professional promoter after moving to the United States. His shows were famous for their action-packed, competitive fights and his boxers were renowned for their willingness to fight anywhere around the globe.

“When I became president of the Puerto Rico Professional Boxing Commission (in 1993), Tuto already was the biggest promoter on the island,’ said Valcárcel, who described Zabala Sr. as ingenious and reliable as a promoter.

In Puerto Rico, Zabala worked with several outstanding boxers, including former amateur standout and title challenger Carlos ‘Topo’ Gerena.

“He always had very good fighters. But what I always remember about him is that he could make a boxing show fit any venue, even a cock fighting arena,” said the WBO President about Zabala’s genius as a boxing businessman.

Amongst the fighters he promoted was Puerto Rico’s Wilfredo ‘Wi’ Vázquez, a three-division titlist with the WBA. Vázquez’ son later became WBO 122 lbs Champion with Tuto’s son, Félix ‘Tutico’ Zabala Jr., as his promoter.

Although his successes in the boxing industry are plenty, it is his caliber as a human being which will always be remembered most. A true friend to many in the industry, his legacy in the sport continues to grow in the hands of his son, Tutico who, like his father before him, is known as a man of integrity. That is Tuto’s greatest gift to the sport we all love. May he rest in peace.

Former WBO Latino Bantamweight champion #13th ranked Ricardo “Hindu” Espinoza of Tijuana, Mexico will square off against undefeated Colombian prospect Brandon “El Metrallo” Valdes of Barranquilla, Colombia. The 10 round super bantamweight battle will have a WBO Youth belt in play.

Ricardo “Hindu” Espinoza(24-3 21 KO’s) 22, wants to jump back into title contention after a busy 8 month run in 2018-2019. Espinoza positioned himself late August in the rankings by knocking out fringe contender Daniel “Alacran” Lozano in 2 rounds, to claim the WBO Latino Title.

He later returned in the first week of March 2019 with a thrilling 10th round stoppage over Veteran Ricardo “Matemático” Nunez.

This feat earned Espinoza an interim title shot against John Riel Casimero for the #1 contender to Zolani Tete’s WBO Bantamweight title. Espinoza and Casimero fought down to the wire at the Stubhub Center in Carson, CA with Casimero using his experience to edge Espinoza in a 12 round stoppage. “Hindu” will now campaign at Super Bantamweight after the loss.

Brandon “El Metrallo” Valdes(13-0 7 KO’s) 21, was a solid amateur out of Colombia and has now made his way over to the U.S under the guidance of Cesar Garcia of Black house boxing. Valdes has made two stateside appearances winning both by UD in impressive outings. He will now step up his level of competition and make his Telemundo debut with the opportunity of picking up his first regional belt.

Former amateur standout and WBO/NABO flyweight titleholder Jonathan “Bomba” Gonzalez (20-2-1, 12 KOs) of Caguas, Puerto Rico will take on former world title challenger Julian “El Niño Artillero” Yedra (24-3, 13 KOs) of Mexico.

Bomba Gonzalez made his Telemundo debut this past February at this same exact venue when he got his career back on track with an impressive victory over former world title challenger Ricardo Rodriguez. The local crowd, like in his last fight, will be packed with his countrymen supporting him.

How have you prepared for this now the biggest fight of your career?

This training camp was much tougher than prior ones. I prepared for 10 weeks. My fights from here on out will be against opponents competing on the championship level.

What do you know about your opponent?

I have seen some videos of him. He has my respect for sure and has a lot of experience. He has competed on the international level and fought for a world title.

Do you feel it is an advantage for you that he is moving up in weight?

This is an advantage for me physically but we have prepared as if that he will be as strong as I will. I cannot be overconfident at all and I won’t be.

How has your profile changed coming off of your last victory?

I surprised some people the last time out. Many thought my career was over. I had other plans with more to come. I have received a lot of congratulations following the fight.

Where did you get your nickname (the bomb) from?

It comes from many years back when I fought in Cuba as an amateur. A trainer there said they way I was throwing punches looked like was throwing bombs and the name stuck.

What kind of fight should fans expect Friday night?

I can tell you that I am coming to fight with my plan of intelligence round by round. If the knockout presents itself I will take it. If not a clear decision win is just as good. He on the other will be very aggressive and fighting with equal hunger as I. He is coming with the intent take my place in the world rankings. It is up to me to prevent that.

Do you feel you would be ready for a world title fight following a victory on Friday?

I have really matured at this stage of my career. I know I have a tough fight ahead of me but I am up for the challenge.

Kissimmee, Fla. (June 11, 2018) — Christopher “Pitufo” Diaz wants to add his name to the storied list of Puerto Rican world champions. He will get that chance July 28 at the Kissimmee Civic Center, when he squares off against Masayuki Ito for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior lightweight title.

Diaz-Ito will stream live and exclusively in the United States at 9:30 ET on ESPN+ — the recently-launched multi-sport, direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service from The Walt Disney Company’s Direct-to-Consumer & International segment in conjunction with ESPN. Undercard bouts will stream live on ESPN+ beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET. ESPN+ is available to all fans on the ESPN App and ESPN.com.

Promoted by Top Rank, in association with All Star Boxing and Teiken Promotions, tickets to this world championship event will go on sale Tuesday, June 12 at 10 a.m. ET. Priced at $100 (red carpet ringside), $50 (lower bowl), and $30 (general admission), tickets may be purchased at the Kissimmee Civic Center box office, online at ticketerapr.com, or charge by phone at (787) 305-3600.

“This fight is dedicated to all of Puerto Rico and to my family that has always been there to support me,” Diaz said. “Now it’s my time to become a world champion, and I promise that I will bring home the world title. I love you, Puerto Rico. This one’s for you!”

“I am really pleased to be able to fight a great fighter like Christopher Diaz for the WBO title. Diaz is a very good fighter with power and speed, but on July 28, I will become the champion,” Ito said. “I will bring the belt home back to Japan without fail. I have promised my wife and children. I will fight as if my life depended on it.”

Diaz (23-0, 15 KOs), from Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, is entering his first world title match riding a four-bout knockout streak. The WBO’s No. 1 junior lightweight contender, Diaz won the vacant NABO junior lightweight title last December with a third-round knockout of Bryant Cruz, knocking Cruz down five times en route to the stoppage. In his last bout, March 17 on the Jose Ramirez-Amir Imam undercard at The Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, Diaz defeated Braulio Rodriguez via fourth-round TKO to earn the shot at the world title. For Diaz, this world title opportunity is beacon of hope, as his home and most of his possessions were destroyed when Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico last year.

Ito (23-1-1, 12 KOs), from Tokyo, is the WBO’s No. 2 junior lightweight contender. He has won seven consecutive bouts since the lone defeat of his career, a 10-round majority decision to then-undefeated Rikki Naito in February 2015. Ito, who has fought all of his professional bouts in Japan, has won four of his past five bouts via knockout, including a ninth-round stoppage of Lorenzo Villanueva in April of last year. In his last bout, on March 3 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Ito stopped Vergil Puton in the ninth round.

Orlando ‘El Fenómeno’ Cruz se apuntó una fenomenal victoria el viernes en la noche en Kissimmee, Florida, y se puso en dirección a un posible combate ante el monarca interino de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB), el mexicano Miguel ‘El Alacrán’ Berchelt quien primero tendrá la encomienda de salir por la puerta ancha el sábado en el Polideportivo Soraya Jiménez, de Los Reyes de La Paz en su natal país.

El púgil boricua cumplió su palabra y con un sólido triunfo rindió tributo póstumo a las víctimas de la reciente masacre de la discoteca Pulse de Orlando al vencer por la vía rápida a los dos minutos del séptimo asalto al mexicano Alejandro Valdez en la estelar del cartel presentado en el Kissimmee Civic Center por la empresa promotora All Star Boxing.

Cruz, que mejoró su récord a 24-4-1 y 12 nocauts, y que también retuvo su corona de las 130 libras de la North American Boxing Organización (NABO), filial de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB), subió al ensogado vistiendo los colores alusivos a la organización LBGTT, de donde es uno de los principales portavoces. Cuarenta y tres campanazos antecedieron el choque en honor a los caídos.

El púgil que hace unos años se convirtió en el primer boxeador profesional en la historia en aceptar abiertamente su homosexualidad, abrió con fuerza su duelo ante Valdez, un peleador natural de Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, México.

Cruz derribó una primera vez a Valdez en el séptimo con una combinación de ‘upper’ de izquierda y gancho de derecha, y luego terminó la contienda enviándolo por segunda ocasión a la lona con similar ataque para poner fin a las hostilidades.

La victoria permitirá que Cruz, quien actualmente está quinto en el ranking de las 130 libras de la OMB, ascienda próximamente camino a una oportunidad mundialista. Actualmente, es el ucraniano Vasyl Lomachenko el campeón en propiedad en esa división. Berchelt, que tiene marca de 29-1 y 26KO’s, es el campeón interino, y defenderá el sábado ante el excampeón tailandés Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo, quien en el 2014 cayó por decisión a manos de Lomachenko.

Valdez, que durante su carrera ha enfrentado a excampeones del mundo como el mexicano Cristian Mijares, vio caer su marca a 26-8-2 y 20KO’s.

“Fue una buena victoria. Ahora es cuestión de seguir escalando. Tengo un equipo de trabajo excepcional y no tengo prisa en llegar a mi oportunidad titular”, expresó Cruz tras el triunfo.

“Fue una noche especial. La abrimos con esos 43 campanazos. Luego demostré que aún con 35 años, todavía queda mucho boxeo. No he perdido mi fuerza, mi poder y mi pegada. Creo que todo es cuestión de tiempo y aquí estamos, esperando la oportunidad”, sostuvo.

Cruz adelantó que podría estar de vuelta al ensogado entre los meses de agosto y octubre. En octubre podría formar parte de un evento antesala de la celebración en Orlando de la Parada Gay el día ocho de ese mes.

Cruz venía de vencer por decisión unánime a Rómulo Koasicha el pasado mes de marzo en Tampa, Florida.

“Un ascenso es lo que esperamos y que también peleé por un título mundial”, añadió Zabala, promotor de Cruz. “Nos gustaría mucho una pelea con el campeón interino Miguel Berchelt, pero hay que esperar primero a ver que pasa en su pelea de mañana (sábado) en donde defenderá su corona interina. Pero también hay que ver lo que dice la OMB. Creo que Orlando hizo su trabajo, demostró una vez más que está aquí para pelear con los mejores”, sostuvo.

i Andy Lee hasn’t fought since December, but the former middleweight titlist is ready to get back in the ring this fall. Chris Farina/Top Rank

A few notes from around the boxing world:

  • Former middleweight world titleholder Andy Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOs) told ESPN.com he hopes to return to the ring this fall. “I haven’t anything in the works at the moment but I hope to return in the fall,” he said. “I took a little time off as the last three years have been intense. Now I’m looking forward to returning to the ring refreshed. I’ve kept ticking over in the gym and when I return I’d like to fight [secondary titleholder] Danny Jacobs or have a rematch with [titleholder Billy Joe] Saunders. My ultimate goal is to regain a title and challenge [Gennady Golovkin].” In December, Lee, of Ireland, got knocked down twice in the third round by Saunders and lost his title by majority decision. In 2014, Lee, 32, was scheduled to challenge Golovkin for his title but when Golovkin’s father died — just as the deal was being wrapped up — the fight was canceled while Golovkin returned home to Kazakhstan for his father’s funeral and to be with his family.
  • The date is set for the fight between cruiserweight world titleholder Krzysztof Glowacki and mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk. There had been two options, but it will take place Sept. 17 at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland, organizers announced on Wednesday. The sides made a deal two weeks ago to avoid a purse bid for the fight, which shapes up as an action-packed match. The 29-year-old Glowacki (26-0, 16 KOs), of Poland, who won the belt in dramatic comeback fashion by knocking out long-reigning titleholder Marco Huck in the 11th round last August, will be making his second defense. Usyk (9-0, 9 KOs), 29, who won the 2012 Olympic heavyweight gold medal for Ukraine, has moved quickly as a professional but will be taking a big step up in competition against Glowacki.
  • All-Star Boxing promoter Tuto Zabala announced that he has signed featherweight Matias Adrian Rueda (26-0, 23 KOs), of Argentina, to a promotional agreement. The 28-year-old is scheduled to face Mexico’s Oscar Valdez (19-0, 17 KOs) for a vacant world title July 23 (HBO PPV) on the Terence Crawford-Viktor Postol card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. “I’m thrilled to have signed with Tuto’s company,” Rueda said. “[Zabala and] Mario Margossian of Argentina Boxing Promotions will take my career to another level in the United States.” Said Zabala: “We had Matias on a ‘Boxeo Telemundo’ show last October and he looked impressive. Working with him and longtime friend Mario Margossian made it a no-brainer. He will be the next world champion of Argentina.”

box_a_martinez_b1_1296x729  Rocky Martínez tendría que enfrentar ahora al retador mandatorio Miguel Berchelt AP Photo/Gregory Payan

El tercer duelo entre el campeón junior ligero puertorriqueño Román ‘Rocky’ Martínez y el mexicano Orlando ‘Siri’ Salido se ha distanciado.

El presidente de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB), Francisco ‘Paco’ Valcárcel, dijo el martes que la empresa Promociones Zanfer, propiedad del promotor mexicano Fernando Beltrán, adquirió los derechos para presentar la defensa mandatoria entre Martínez y el primer clasificado Miguel ‘El Alacrán’ Berchelt durante una subasta realizada en Nueva York y donde la que la otra compañía envuelta fue All Star Boxing, propiedad de Félix ‘Tutico’ Zabala.

Zanfer ganó la puja con monto de $251 mil, mientras que Zabala había ofrecido $201,500.00. El mínimo de la subasta era de $150 mil y en ella no participó la compañía Puerto Rico Best Boxing, empresa que representa los intereses de ‘Rocky’ Martínez, un peleador ligado al súper manejador Al Haymon.

Precisamente la PRBB no tardó en impugnar ante la Comisión de Quejas y Agravios de la OMB la subasta realizada, basando su protesta en que Berchelt no se ha enfrentado aún a peleadores clasificados por la OMB en las 130 libras.

“Nosotros no participamos en la subasta y protestamos la misma ya que según el reglamento de la OMB, Berchelt tenía que haber peleado con algún clasificado para tener el combate obligatorio y no ha sido así. Pero como quiera la OMB realizó la subasta y ganó Promociones Zanfer, que representa a Berchelt”, expresó Peter Rivera, vicepresidente de PRBB.

Rivera ha dicho en varias ocasiones que se ha mantenido negociando con el grupo de Salido para hacer realidad el combate que hace unos días mencionó tendría lugar el 12 de marzo en Puerto Rico.

Pero Valcárcel dijo enfáticamente que el tiempo de negociación de Martínez y Salido ya había expirado, razón por la que ordenó la subasta.

“Ya eso es historia”, aseguro Valcárcel.

“La subasta se hizo y ‘Rocky’ tendrá que enfrentar a Berchelt. Ellos (PRBB) querían que se detuviera la subasta porque Berchelt no cumplía con los requisitos. Pero aquí el problemas es que aprobamos en nuestra convención una tercera entre ‘Rocky’ y Salido para 90 días luego de la última pelea. También determinamos que Berchelt sería el mandatorio. Ellos (Martínez y PRBB) dicen que estaban listos pero ninguna de las partes tenía contrato y la televisión tiene que producir algo. Están hablando desde el 12 de septiembre pero nunca se pusieron de acuerdo, no cumplieron con el tiempo límite, y ahora todo se remite a que ‘Rocky’ y Berchelt deberán enfrentarse en un término entre 45 a 90 días. La pelea puede ser México, Mérida o en Las Vegas. También tienen diez días para firmarlo”, agregó el líder de la OMB.

El manejador de Salido, Sean Gibbons, lamentó que el pleito no haya podido concretarse, aunque no descartó en un futuro buscar un nuevo duelo entre ambos fajadores, además de que representa un atractivo espectáculo deportivo dentro de la rivalidad boxística entre México y Puerto Rico.

“No se hará la pelea, aun cuando decidimos que pelearíamos en Puerto Rico. Lo aceptamos todo. Pero las cosas no se pueden hacer si no hay dinero”, comentó sin ofrecer más detalles sobre las causas reales que imposibilitaron el pleito.

Según se supo, a Rivera se le pidió alegadamente una certificación de la empresa Showtime que evidenciara la fecha separada del 12 de marzo así como una certificación de la Comisión de Boxeo de Puerto Rico en donde garantizara que los oficiales que estarían a cargo del pleito serían designados exclusivamente por la OMB. Supuestamente, ninguno de estos documentos fueron entregados.

Rivera por su parte fue enfático que sus negociaciones con la gente de Salido estuvieron vivas en todo momento. “Nunca hemos dejado de negociar con la gente de Salido y estamos casi listos para hacer oficial esta gran pelea entre Rocky y Salido. Había ciertas cosas en las que teníamos que ponernos de acuerdo y se consiguieron para celebrarla el 12 de marzo”, apuntó.

Valcárcel declaró que la Comisión de Quejas y Agravios decidirá en los próximos días si la apelación de Rivera cambiará el curso de las cosas.

Martínez y Salido se han enfrentado en dos ocasiones. En la primera celebrada en Puerto Rico, Martínez se impuso por decisión unánime y en la segunda, celebrada en septiembre en Las Vegas, concluyó en un empate mayoritario.

MÉXICO — No será el 13 de junio en Nueva York pero sí el 20 de junio en México cuando se enfrente el capitalino David Carmona y el filipino Warlito Parrenas por el cetro interino súper mosca de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo, informó a ESPN el promotor Félix ‘Tutico’ Zabala Jr., director de All Star Boxing.

La pelea se estaba negociando inicialmente para el 13 de junio, en la velada que estelarizarán Nicholas Walters y Miguel Marriaga en el Teatro del Madison Square Garden en Nueva York. Ahí mismo peleará el prospecto boricua Félix Verdejo en contra del prospecto mexicano Iván Nájera.

Sin embargo, recién se recibió el aval de parte de la OMB para el cetro interino, toda vez que el monarca de las 115 libras, el japonés Naoya Inoue, se encuentra lesionado de una mano y no regresará sino hasta en unos meses más. De acuerdo con el mandato de la OMB, el ganador de la pelea entre Carmona y Parrenas deberá unificar con Inoue (8-0, 7 KO).

Carmona, de 24 años, oriundo de la Ciudad de México, es un joven talentoso que ha sido promovido por All Star Boxing de ‘Tutico’ Zabala Jr. y Producciones Deportivas de Ricardo Maldonado. Disputó ya el cetro de la OMB en las 115 libras pero no tuvo suerte ante el argentino Omar Narváez, con quien perdió en diciembre de 2013.Sin embargo, el púgil capitalino con marca de 19-2-4 y 8 nocauts, se recuperó poco a poco y logró tres valiosos triunfos desde entonces ante rivales de la talla de Ricardo Rodríguez, Martín Casillas y Daniel Lozano. En sus últimas 18 salidas al ring tiene salgo de 15 victorias, una derrota y dos empates.

Con esos triunfos, que le valieron la faja Latina de la OMB, Carmona regresó para ubicarse en los primeros clasificados, exactamente en el segundo peldaño del organismo que dirige Francisco Valcárcel desde Puerto Rico. Parrenas, su rival en turno, es el primer clasificado.

Parrenas, de 31 años, es originario de Filipinas, tiene marca de 24-6 y un alto número de nocauts con 31. Ha hilado siete victorias de su última caída, en junio de 2012 ante el mexicano Óscar Blanquet en Japón. En sus últimas 13 salidas al ring, ha perdido solo una vez y noqueó a 11 de sus enemigos.

De acuerdo con ‘Tutico’ Zabala, la pelea se realizará el 20 de junio, probablemente en la Ciudad de México o en algún lugar de la República Mexicana, y se está negociando con Zanfer para ver si la pelea puede ir por Televisión Azteca.

EdgarOrtega-PabloMungu_a-PesajeASB2

Por:  Jose Antonio Soriano –

En un combate que se espera muy pareja y espectacular, debido a sus estilos de pelea, es el que protagonizarán los mexicanos Edgar “Nene” Ortega, quien expondrá su cetro latino welter interino de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) ante su retador Pablo “Sepulturero” Munguía, este viernes en el Salón José Cuervo del Distrito Federal mexicano, en lo que será el pleito estelar que presenta All Star Boxing, Producciones Deportivas y RB Producciones y que tendrá la transmisión de Telemundo para Estados Unidos.

Todo parece suponer que la pelea podría terminar por la vía del cloroformo por la pegada de ambos, pero es de muy tomarse en cuenta que la fortaleza física, por la juventud del “Nene” (15-1, 10 KOs), así como la experiencia de Munguía (19-5, 11 KOs), podrían ser la clave para que el duelo termine en sus diez rounds.

EdgarOrtega-PabloMungu_a-PesajeASB1

En su última pelea, Ortega logró una victoria polémica en diez rounds ante el puertorriqueño Daniel Rosario, para conquistar el cetro que ahora pondrá en juego. Ortega sabe muy bien que si quiere vencer a Pablo, tendrá que hacer una pelea casi a la perfección para salir airoso y seguir demostrando con pleitos de gran nivel, ser un peleador para grandes cosas.

PabloMungu_a-PesajeEdgarOrtegaASB1Por parte del “Sepulturero”, su experiencia y sus fuertes combates ante los mejores de la división en México, son su mejor carta de presentación, a pesar de estar marcado como favorito, Munguía sabe muy bien que no puede confiarse, ya que su lona recorrida le dice evitar eso, por lo que buscará llevar a cabo el combate a su estilo y así levantarse con la victoria.

En ese renglón, ambos peleadores se declararon listos para su reyerta, después de haber aprobado con éxito la ceremonia de pesaje que tuvo lugar en las instalaciones de la Comisión de Box. Ambos peleadores tuvieron un peso idéntico de 66,700 kilogramos.

El cartel completo estará compuesto por interesantes combates, como la que protagonizarán el invicto Antonio Morán, quien enfrentará a un difícil Adrián Rodríguez Garza, en seis rounds en peso ligero. En el mismo número de rounds en peso minimosca, Giovanny Andrade combatirá con Daniel García Vergara.

Y en pleitos a cuatro episodios: Luis “Cotto” Vidales versus Hugo Pacheco en superligero. En peso pluma, Francisco “Cachorro” Ávila versus Edwin Palomares. En peso mediano, Carlos Chavarría Palacios frente a Israel Ramírez. Y en ligero, Sergio FabiánHugo Ledezma. La función dará comienzo a las 8 de la noche.

Resultados completos del pesaje:

Edgar Ortega 147 lbs. vs. Pablo Munguía 147 lbs.  – Título latino welter interino OMB – 10 asaltos

By Rick Reeno –

The bids are in for the mandatory fight between WBO bantamweight champion Tomoki Kameda (30-0, 19KOs) and top rated challenger Alejandro Hernandez (28-10-2, 15KOs). Warriors Boxing, taking part on behalf of Kameda, secured the rights with a bid of $603,000 dollars. All Star Boxing, who have Hernandez, bid far less at $151,000 dollars. The date and location of the fight will be announced in the coming days.

Kameda debuted last month in the United States as part of the Saul Alvarez-Erislandy Lara undercard from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He knocked out Pungluang Sor Singyu in seven rounds. After the fight he signed an agreement with influential manager/adviser Al Haymon.

Hernandez became the mandatory challenger in June when he captured the WBO’s interim title with an upset decision over countryman Daniel Rosas.

The purse bid split is 80-20 in favor of the champion. Team Kameda says November 1 is being targeted for the fight, possibly at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago.
