Chiquita Boxing charity event to bring boxing and solidarity to Nezahualcóyotl

Chiquita Boxing will stage a charity event on Saturday, March 7, at the esplanade of the Municipal Palace in Nezahualcóyotl, combining high-level boxing with a clear social purpose: collecting new toys to be donated on Children’s Day.

Admission to the event will not require a monetary ticket. Instead, entry will be granted in exchange for a new toy, which will form part of the collection benefiting children in the community.

The card will be broadcast nationally on ESPN and Box Televisa, expanding both the reach of the event and its charitable message.

The main event will feature former world champion Mauricio “Bronco” Lara, who returns at a pivotal stage in his career. Lara expressed his motivation to fight again after three years of inactivity: “I want to give my people a victory after being inactive for three years. I’m very happy to fight with Chiquita Boxing.” The Mexico City native aims to deliver a convincing performance and reestablish himself on the national scene.

Hall of Fame former world champion Humberto “Chiquita” González, the driving force behind the project, emphasized the importance of the event: “It will be a great card. Don’t miss it. Bring your toy.” His message highlights the dual purpose of the night: sporting spectacle and social commitment.

Humberto González Jr. added that the event will meet high expectations: “We’re waiting for you. It will be a great show. There will be great talent. Bronco is in a great moment; it will be a top-level event.” The card will feature a mix of prospects and established fighters, reinforcing its competitive quality.

The combination of national television coverage, an emblematic venue in Nezahualcóyotl, and a concrete social cause positions this event as a meaningful platform for both boxing and the community. On March 7, the ring will be a stage not only for competition, but also for solidarity.
