On November 10 at Marlins Park in Florida, four-time world champion in three weight divisions and Olympic Gold Medalist Yuriorkis “El Ciclon de Guantánamo” Gamboa (28-2, 17 KOs), from Guantanamo, Cuba now living in Miami, Florida will battle two-time world title challenger Miguel Beltran, Jr. (33-6, 22 KOs) from Los Mochis.
Former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa is slated to return to the ring on November 10, in Miami, Florida. According to boxing businessman Luis "Louie" Fernandez, a fight between Gamboa and Mexico's Miguel Beltran Jr. (32-6, 21 KO) is already signed and only minimal details would be needed to close it completely.
Terence Crawford scoffed at Glenn Rushton’s suggestion. Jeff Horn’s trainer has stated during the buildup toward their welterweight title fight that if Yuriorkis Gamboa could hurt Crawford in their lightweight championship match nearly four years ago, the bigger, stronger Horn most certainly is capable of hurting and knocking out the unbeaten challenger Saturday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+). Gamboa buzzed Crawford with a left-right combination early in the ninth round of their June 2014 bout.
It appears that former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa and Golden Boy Promotions have parted ways. Gamboa's release was leaked to the Cuban press, but Golden Boy confirmed that Cuban wanted his release and his request was granted. The 36 year old Gamboa (28-2, 17 KOs), who also won an Olympic gold medal, signed on with Golden Boy in January of 2017.
This coming Saturday night, former world champion Juan Manuel 'Juanma' Lopez will be back in Puerto Rico to face countryman Jayson Velez at the Mario 'Quijote' Morales Coliseum in Puerto Rico. If Lopez wins, he has some very big names on his hitlist - including former world champions Gervonta Davis, Orlando 'Siri' Salido and Yuriorkis Gamboa.
WBA super featherweight champion Alberto "El Explosivo" Machado could very well make his fist world title defense on May 5th, as part of the HBO Pay-Per-View undercard to the middleweight rematch between Gennady Golovkin and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Overweight and overconfidence were the factors that worked against former junior world champion Jason "Canito" Sosa, according to the boxer's trainer Raul "Chino" Rivas. Rivas reveals that his boxer was not in the best possible condition to face Olympic gold medal winner Yuriorkis Gamboa and paid the price. Last Saturday, Gamboa scored a controversial ten round majority decision with scores of 95-93, 96-92 and 94-94 - despite the fact that he visited the canvas and was penalized a point for excessive holding.
