Biography
Anthony “ATV” Velazquez (born in 1996 in Massachusetts, USA) is an American professional boxer competing in the middleweight division. Known for his explosive knockout power and aggressive style, Velazquez has built an impressive record since turning professional in 2018. Standing 5 ft 9 in tall with a 70-inch reach, he fights from an orthodox stance and represents Springfield, Massachusetts, where he trains and resides.
Velazquez made his professional debut on January 27, 2018, stopping Andre Belcarris in the first round at the Castleton Banquet & Conference Center in Windham. His early career was marked by a series of emphatic knockout wins, earning him a reputation as one of New England’s most exciting prospects. Between 2018 and 2021, he built a flawless record while developing a fan base across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Florida. His ability to end fights early — often within the first few rounds — underscored his heavy-handed approach and ring composure uncommon for a young fighter.
His rise gained further momentum between 2023 and 2025, when Velazquez began stepping up his level of opposition. Notable performances include a unanimous decision victory over Florent Dervis in September 2024 to claim the vacant NABF Junior Super Welterweight title, and a dominant ten-round shutout win over Yusuph Metu in April 2025. Velazquez has also shown resilience and adaptability, rebounding from a hard-fought draw against Rashid Stevens in 2023 with a string of stoppage victories.
