Sandor Martin returns home to fight Jose Felix next Friday for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) International Super Lightweight title. Barcelona will live a great boxing night with its local hero looking for the important black and gold belt in a tough fight.
Martin comes from what is probably the most important fight of his career. Last October he arrived in the United States without much expectation to fight Mikey Garcia and got a valuable victory that has helped him to move up the boxing ladder and become one of the top fighters in the 140-pound class.
The Spaniard has now earned the right to fight for the regional belt of the pioneer organization and the event to be organized by Matchroom Boxing at the Palau Olímpic Vall d’Hebron is an unbeatable scenario to do so.
Mexican Jose Felix is an opponent that always generates danger and wants to damage Martin’s party. The fighter from Los Mochis has fought good level opponents such as Isaac Cruz and Bryan “Tiquito” Vazquez, so he has enough experience for this kind of occasions.
Barcelona will live a great week of boxing, full of previous events as the country is going through a great moment in the sport. Martin has a record of 39 wins and 2 losses, with 13 knockouts, while Felix has 35 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw and 30 knockouts.
