The boxers who will be part of the historic event in Aguascalientes, Mexico this Friday, June 11th, where boxers from the Cuban National Team will fight professional boxers for the first time, all made weight on Thursday, June 10th and are ready to step into the ring.

The main fight of the night will be between former world champion Miguel “Títere” Vásquez and Andy Cruz, former AIBA World Champion on two occasions. However, on the island’s National Team side, names such as Julio Cesar La Cruz, Arlen Lopez, and Roniel Iglesias also attract attention.
