The Mexican junior middleweight Isaac “La Bestia Jnr” Lucero has agreed co-promotional terms with Sampson Lewkowicz and TM Boxing.

Lucero, 26 years old and from Tijuana, is in Las Vegas training under the experienced Bob Santos ahead of what is expected to be his first fight in the US since his professional debut in 2019. His 15 subsequent fights have all been in his home country.

“First of all, I want to thank God for this opportunity,” said Lucero. “I’m very happy and excited to join forces with Mr Sampson Lewkowicz, who has placed his trust in me. I will work very hard to repay him with victories and go as far as possible in the sport I love.”

Lewkowicz, who is expected to be able to place Lucero on Premier Boxing Champions and ProBox TV promotions, said: “Working with Bob Santos will turn this very good boxer into a great one. I’m happy to be Isaac Lucero’s co-promoter, along with my old friend Eric Ibarra, and we will get to work on establishing him as a known name in the US boxing scene by securing him the correct fights and eventually helping him become a world champion.”  

The Mexico-based Eric Ibarra oversees TM Boxing, and he said: “I’m very happy about this agreement. “Sampson is a dear friend and a great promoter. I’m confident this decision is the right one. With his support and his team, we’ll soon put Isaac Lucero’s name in the spotlight of international boxing.”
