The bulk of boxing is done for the year but a few struggles remain. Several took place this holiday week, with young talent in the spotlight on a Christmas night show on Fox.

Prudential Center, Newark New Jersey - Unbeaten Cuban prospect Yoelvis Gomez (5-0, 5 KOs) earned a blistering first round knockout over Clay Collard (9-6-3, 4 KOs) in their super welterweight bout.

NEWARK – Yoelvis Gomez demonstrated Saturday night exactly why he is a prospect well worth watching in 2022. The Cuban southpaw tore through upset-minded Clay Collard on his way to a first-round technical knockout in a middleweight fight FOX aired from Prudential Center. Gomez dropped Collard once and continued to beat him up until referee Earl Brown halted the action 2:11 into the opening round, with Collard still on his feet.

Warriors Boxing has just taken their stable of boxers to the next level by signing multi-year promotional agreements with three blue chip prospects, Yoelvis Gomez, Geovany Bruzon, and Lenier Pero. All three fighters, who are advised by Jesse Rodriguez Management, are also co-promoted with Aldo Mir of Major League Boxing. As pros, the three decorated amateurs and will be on the fast track to a world title. In the coming months, the trio will be making their way to the United States of America, where they will be training in the mecca of boxing, Las Vegas, NV, and Los Angeles, CA.
