A new trio of boxing brothers is set to emerge Friday night, as Marques, Dominic and Kenyan Valle will all fight on the same card.
Each of the Valle brothers will be in action on ProBox TV’s latest card from ProBox TV Events Center in Plant City, Florida.
Marc Farrait is the trainer for all three brothers. If his name sounds familiar, you might have seen him in the corner of Edgar Berlanga, Darrelle Valsaint and Najee Lopez, whom he also trains.
Farrait will be kept busy Friday, but the reward is being on the front end of what could be one of boxing’s next famed family affairs.
“It is the first time on ProBox TV three brothers have fought on the same card,” Farrait said. “If you like watching the Vargas dynasty, then wait until you see the Valle brothers.”
As Marques Valle told BoxingScene, “It feels like the amateurs, when we all did this together.”
Dominic Valle, 11-0 (7 KOs), is the middle brother, at 24 years old, and the sibling who is trending closest toward becoming a contender. He will face Iron Alvarez, a 31-year-old from Tampa, Florida, on the undercard. Alvarez, 15-3 (11 KOs), was stopped by up-and-comer Keipo Gallegos in his most recent fight in November. His bout on Friday will serve as his first fight of the year.
“It is exactly what I wanted. This is the time in my career when it is time to take bigger steps,” Dominic told BoxingScene. “I’m the dark horse in this. I don’t have a big amateur resume, as other fighters have. But you ask fighters about me and they know about me: I am the boogeyman.”
Then there is the eldest brother, Marques Valle, 10-1 (9 KOs), who is moving to middleweight for his Friday contest. Marques, 26, lost in 2024 to Damian Sosa and will be fighting for the first time in almost a year and a half. He will face Luis Georges, 12-0 (10 KOs), an undefeated puncher from the Dominican Republic who is fighting for the first time in the United States.
“Marques doesn’t have to make that big weight cut,” Farrait said. “You are going to see a difference.”
“The loss taught me a lot,” Marques said. “It is me in the ring, nobody else.”
Dominic mentioned that, after Marques’ loss and layoff, his focus seems changed.
“Marques has been locked in like I have never seen him before,” Dominic said. “I am excited to see him get back in the ring and do what he does best.”
Meanwhile, Marques shared the importance of leading the way as the eldest of the three brothers from Lutz, Florida.
“I have always had the big-brother role,” Marques said. “It motivates me, and I have to set the example.”
Then there is Kenyan Valle, who will be making his pro debut Friday. He will face Lai Thang, 2-3, a 28-year-old who will enter the contest following a win in July. If Team Valle is to be believed, Kenyan will show out against Thang.
“I kept him in the gym for 18 months before he turned pro,” Farrait said of Kenyan. “He is a combination of his two older brothers.”
Said Dominic: “He is a special talent, and some even say he is the best of the three of us.”
Marques is no less bullish on Kenyan’s future: “My youngest brother is going to surprise a lot of people. He is going to rise quick, and people are going to ask questions about where he came from.”
Although plenty of attention will be on the main event between junior lightweights Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov and William Foster III, Farrait believes that the three brothers fighting on the undercard should win over fans.
“They are exciting fighters with a ton of potential,” Farrait said. “Mexico has the Vargas brothers, and Puerto Rico has the Valle brothers.”
