Puello vs. Martin: Clash for the WBC Crown
Puello’s Road to Greatness
Dominican standout Alberto Puello (22-0, 10 KOs) captured the 140-pound crown last year with a decisive victory over Gary Antuanne Russell. Now training in Las Vegas under the guidance of renowned coach Ismael Salas, Puello is primed to make a statement in his first title defense.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment,” Puello declared. “This is my chance to show the world why I’m the WBC super lightweight champion. Sandor Martin is a tough opponent, but I’m ready to put on a performance fans will never forget. This fight is for my people in the Dominican Republic—I’m going to make them proud.”
Martin’s Hunger for Glory
Sandor Martin (42-3, 15 KOs) is no stranger to upsetting the odds. The Barcelona native shocked the boxing world in 2021 when he outclassed four-division world champion Mikey Garcia. He also pushed Teofimo Lopez to the brink in 2022, losing a controversial decision.
Martin enters this title bout riding high after back-to-back knockouts in 2023. “This opportunity is the culmination of years of hard work,” Martin said. “Puello won’t be ready for what I’ll bring to the ring. That WBC belt will come home to Spain.”
Fireworks Guaranteed
With Puello’s unblemished record and Martin’s upset pedigree, this clash promises fireworks. Who will emerge as the king of the super lightweight division? Fans won’t want to miss this battle in Brooklyn on March 1!
