Top Rank Signs Dominican Olympian Euri Cedeño
Dominican middleweight sensation Euri “La Bazooka” Cedeño has signed a long-term co-promotional deal with Top Rank, joining forces with King’s Promotions. This new partnership is a major leap for the undefeated southpaw. He represented the Dominican Republic at the Tokyo Olympics and is now one of the country’s top boxing prospects. Top Rank signs Dominican Olympian Euri Cedeño, making a bold move to strengthen their international roster.
Comeback Fight Set for June 7 in Virginia
Cedeño (11-0-1, 10 KOs) is set to return on Saturday, June 7, in a 10-round bout against Ecuador’s Abel Mina (18-3-1, 9 KOs). Notably, the fight will be featured on the ESPN+ undercard of the Keyshawn Davis vs. Edwin De Los Santos lightweight clash. The event takes place at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
A Star in the Making
Without a doubt, Cedeño is no stranger to the spotlight. He started boxing at age five under the guidance of his late father, Aquino, a respected trainer in the Dominican Republic. Over the years, he has competed in more than 400 amateur bouts. Furthermore, he showcased his talent on the Olympic stage and delivered six consecutive KOs early in his pro career. As a result, many see him as a complete fighter, combining power, speed, and poise.
Praise from Legends
“Euri Cedeño is one of the most complete fighters to come out of the Dominican Republic in years,” said Top Rank’s Bob Arum. “He has all the tools to become a real threat at 160 pounds.”
In addition, King’s Promotions CEO Marshall Kauffman stated, “He’s a future star. With Top Rank’s support, he’ll go on to win world titles.”
Eyes on Gold
“I’ve earned this,” said Cedeño. “Over 400 amateur fights, the Olympics, and now 11 pro wins — but this is just the beginning.”
He added, “On June 7, I’ll begin the next chapter in my journey to a world championship.”
