“BOXEO TELEMUNDO” CONTINUES THIS FRIDAY WITH REGIONAL WBA FLYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH LIVE ON TELEMUNDO

"Boxeo Telemundo," the #1 Spanish-language boxing program in the U.S., continues its all-star boxing lineup this Friday night, August 14 at 12am midnight ET. This week's action will be headlined by Mexican fighters, Saúl "Baby" Juárez versus Axel "Mini" Aragón, for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedecentro Flyweight Title. The event will be broadcast live from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Fla. on Telemundo as well as on the Telemundo Deportes App

Calling the action are "Boxeo Telemundo" veteran boxing commentators, Edgar Lopez and Florida Boxing Hall of Famer Rene Giraldo alongside World Boxing Champion and former Olympian Abner Mares.

In the summer season's second fight night, fight favorite Saúl "Baby" Juárez (25-11-2-13 KO's) hopes to redeem himself following two consecutive defeats, by Mexican Ganigan "Maravilla" López and Puerto Rican Jonathan "La Bomba" González, costing Juárez his Top 10 position in World Boxing Council's (WBC) global rankings, pushing him to number 13.

Also looking to reclaim victory is Ensenada, Mexico native Axel "Mini" Aragón (13-3-1-8 KO's). Friday marks Aragón's first fight of the year following an October 2019 loss to Wilfredo Méndez of Puerto Rico for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) World Strawweight Title.
