Isaac Lucero is back for his second bout of 2025, with the junior middleweight prospect slotted to open the October 25 pay-per-view headlined by Sebastian Fundora defending his world title at 154lbs against Keith Thurman.
His opponent has not yet been named.
Lucero, a 27-year-old from Mexico, fought in May in the city that he now calls home, Las Vegas, where he works with trainer Bob Santos. Lucero stopped the 23-0 Omar Valenzuela in the second round on the undercard of Armando Resendiz’s upset win over Caleb Plant at the Michelob Ultra Arena.
The victory was Lucero’s sixth consecutive knockout and moved his record to 17-0 (13 KOs). It was only his second fight in the United States, the first one coming in Lucero’s pro debut in December 2019. This October 25 bout at Sin City’s MGM Grand Garden Arena will be Lucero’s third.
The rest of the pay-per-view undercard will feature junior lightweight titleholder O’Shaquie Foster defending his WBC belt against featherweight titleholder Stephen Fulton, and Shane Mosley Jnr and Jesus Ramos Jnr vying for the WBC’s interim belt at 160lbs.
