Welterweight Alexis Rocha is gearing up for his December 14 showdown against 2016 Mexican Olympian Raul Curiel at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.
Both fighters are under the Golden Boy Promotions banner, but the stakes are high and the winner could find themselves in line for a title shot.
Rocha, 27, from Santa Ana, California, is coming off a year of rebuilding following his knockout loss to Giovani Santillan in October 2023. That defeat put a pause on his title aspirations. Now, with two victories under his belt in 2024, Rocha holds an improved record of 25-2 (16 KOs). His most recent win came in July, when he handed undefeated puncher Santiago Dominguez a unanimous decision loss.
