Corrientes gears up for a Saturday unlike any other, with two explosive combat events shaking the city. One is the Panamerican title showdown at Club Juventus, the other, the fiery 15th edition of La Batalla del Puente at Club Huracán. Corrales Eyes Panamerican Glory in Corrientes!
Corrales Ready to Write History Again
At 10 PM sharp, Leonardo Corrales, the hometown hero, steps into the ring to face Brazil’s Jackson Elitelmo for the vacant Panamerican Low Kick title. Already a 24-time national champion and world titleholder in Full Contact, Corrales says,
“I’m blessed to go for this title in Corrientes. I’ve prepared like never before—physically, mentally, and nutritionally.”
And that preparation matters. Elitelmo isn’t just any opponent—he’s Brazil’s No. 1 ranked fighter. But Corrales isn’t fazed. It’s been two years since he last fought in his province, and he’s hungry to feel that Corrientes crowd roar.
Batalla del Puente: MMA Takes Center Stage
Meanwhile, over at Club Huracán, action starts at 8 PM. Expect adrenaline, takedowns, and knockouts as JuanJo Ibáñez headlines against Maximiliano Ortíz. Top female fighters like Valeria Ibáñez and Katherine Mancilla will also square off in a can’t-miss clash.
Other local names like Luciano Ros and Emiliano Cardozo will look to shine in front of hometown fans, as over 13 thrilling bouts unfold.
More Than Fists: A Festival of Heart
Backed by the Government of Corrientes, organized by the Federación Argentina de Kickboxing, and sanctioned internationally by WAKO Pro, this isn’t just another fight night. It’s a celebration of strength, passion, and local pride.
Corrientes is fighting. Corrientes is winning. Corrientes is always going for more.
