Jan Paul Rivera and Andy Beltran both made weight ahead of Rivera’s homecoming fight on the DAZN-streamed card from Coliseo Roger L Mendoza in Caguas, Puerto Rico.
The eight-round featherweight bout headlines the Most Valuable Prospects 9 event.
Rivera (10-0, 6 KOs) of Puerto Rico, who will face undefeated Las Vegas native Beltran (8-0, 5 KOs), weighed in at the featherweight limit of 126lbs. Beltran, 23, came in at 125lbs.
Rivera is managed by Amanda Serrano and her trainer, Jordan Maldonado. The duo also manage two other fighters on the card – women’s featherweight Krystal Rosado and middleweight Alexis Chaparro, both of whom will also be in action.
Rivera is coming off a knockout win in July over Justin Goodson (8-1, 8 KOs) on a previous Most Valuable Prospects card in Orlando, Florida.
Beltran spent the first two years of his career fighting in Mexico. His most recent fight, a first-round knockout of Isiah Rodriguez (2-3, 1 KO) in Bellflower, California, was his first outside of Mexico. This will be his first fight in Puerto Rico.
