Boxing Insider plants its flag back at Tropicana Atlantic City on Friday, July 25, promising ocean-air fireworks built around the WBC US junior-flyweight silver title. Bronx-born punch-picker Andy “El Tiburón” Dominguez (12-1, 6 KOs) meets veteran Nicaraguan spoiler Byron Rojas (24-4-3, 12 KOs) in a 10-round main event streamed live on DAZN. Dominguez impressed last December at Sony Hall; a win here would vault the Las Vegas-based 26-year-old toward world-ranked company. Rojas - who once upset Hekkie Budler for a full world strap - arrives as the stubborn acid test every prospect must pass.
Heavyweight intrigue bolsters the undercard when 6-foot-6 Cleveland giant Roney Hines (14-0-1, 8 KOs) squares off with 2004 U.S. Olympian Devin Vargas (22-11, 9 KOs) in an eight-round measuring stick presented with DiBella Entertainment. Hines owns an 80-inch reach and an unbeaten slate; Vargas counters with ring smarts and the type of chin only the paid ranks can forge.
Local flavour spices the bill, too: Bruce “The AC Express” Seldon continues the family legacy in a six-rounder, Pleasantville’s Julio Sanchez III (1-1, 0 KOs) tackles vet Alexander Stone (1-5-1, 1 KO), undefeated Philly welter Christian Ortiz (4-0, 4 KOs) chases another early finish, and Franklin Township crowd-pleaser Cali Box looks to build on his March victory.
