Andy Cruz Gomez: record, next fight and profile →


Andy Cruz was momentarily tested, but the touted lightweight landed a titanic right hand in his tussle against Antonio Moran on Saturday in Los Angeles to score the second KO of his ascending career.

Andy Cruz calls Saturday's fight against Antonio Moran his most important pro bout yet, but the 2020 Olympic lightweight gold medalist isn't forgetting his amateur roots – or his Cuban countrymen.

The full show for the Aug. 3 bill in Los Angeles has been announced, which is topped by Terence Crawford’s attempts at WBA champion Israil Madrimov’s WBO 154-pound title.

It didn’t take long for Andy Cruz to return fire at Keyshawn Davis. Earlier this week, Davis, who won a silver medal at lightweight in the 2020 Olympics, criticized Cruz – the fighter who beat him to earn gold in Tokyo – for punching down. Davis said Cruz called him out, when Davis felt it should’ve been the other way around.

Former Cuban amateur star Andy Cruz made the third appearance of his professional career last weekend in Orlando, Florida, defeating Brayan Zamarripa over 10 rounds. Cruz is now 3-0 (1 KO) and has looked impressive since turning over following his successes at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games, where he won the gold medal.
