Former world champion of two divisions, Luis “Pantera” Nery, will face the Armenian Azat “Crazy A” Hovhannisyan, in an elimination fight endorsed by the World Boxing Council.
Scheduled for 12 rounds, it will be the main event this Saturday, February 18, at the Pomona Theater in Pomona, California.
Luis Nery (33-1, 25 KOs) represents the tough fighters who have come from the ranks of Tijuana, Mexico. The 28-year-old fighter is a former two-division world champion with a near-impeccable record – the only defeat was against Brandon Figueroa in May 2021, that saw him lose his world super bantamweight title.
Since then, he has sought to return to the top, winning the WBC Super Bantamweight Silver title against Carlos Castro in February 2022 and then defeating David Carmona in October.
Hovhannisyan (21-3, 17 KOs) hails from Yerevan, Armenia and has steadily climbed to make a name for himself in his division. The 34-year-old “Crazy A” has earned the respect of the Los Angeles scene with his impressive and aggressive style.
The fight is organized by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Zanfer Boxing and will be broadcast on DAZN.
