The next generation will debut on September 15 in Mexico. On the same cards as other Mexican fighters like Edgar Sosa and Saul Alvarez, the son of Mexican great Carlos Zarate will make his debut in the pro ranks. Carlos Zarate Jr. will make his pro debut as a lightweight and face an unknown opponent in a four round bout. Zarate, 21, won several big amateur tournaments.
"This is what me son with desires because I did not force him to become a fighter. I've helped him train and three years have passed and we thought this was the right moment to jump to the professional ranks," Zarate told ESTO. "I only ask that God keeps him in good physical condition, that he wins his fights and learns from what I teach him."
