Biography
Carlos Castro (born March 6, 1994, in Ciudad Obregón, Mexico) is an American professional boxer who has competed in the super bantamweight and featherweight divisions. Raised in Phoenix, Arizona after moving to the United States as a child, Castro was introduced to boxing by his father at around seven years old and developed into a polished, high-volume pressure fighter with solid punching power.
Castro turned professional in 2012 and steadily built an undefeated record on the Arizona boxing circuit. His early career was highlighted by a strong run of wins at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, where he became a local favorite. In February 2018, he captured his first professional title by stopping Alexis Santiago in the final round to win the vacant WBC–USNBC super bantamweight championship.
In 2019, Castro signed a multi-year promotional deal with Top Rank, which helped elevate him to the national stage. Later that year, he won the vacant WBC Continental Americas super bantamweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Genesis Servania. After several successful defenses, Castro moved up to featherweight, where he scored one of the most notable wins of his career by knocking out former world title challenger Óscar Escandón in 2021 to claim the WBC Continental Americas featherweight title.
Carlos Castro has steadily made his mark in the featherweight division with a combination of precision, power, and ring intelligence. On October 7, 2023, at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, he stopped Angel Luna in the first round via TKO, showcasing his finishing ability early in the bout. On April 27, 2024, Castro earned a ten-round unanimous decision over Belmar Preciado at the same venue, demonstrating control and consistency over a longer fight. Later that year, on September 14, 2024, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, he faced Stephen Fulton, dropping Fulton in the fifth round but narrowly losing via a ten-round split decision, highlighting his competitiveness against elite opposition.
Looking ahead, Castro is set to face Bruce Carrington on January 31, 2026, at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, on the Ring 6 fight card. This will be a really tough test against a strong opponent, as Carrington is currently ranked #1 in his division.
