Puerto Rican Rene “Chulo” Santiago (10-3, 7 KOs) defends his WBO junior flyweight Latino title fighting against Carlos “Aranita” Ortega (15-6-3, 6 KOs) from La Chorrera, Panama, a local crowd-pleaser. The 10-round primary event at Coliseo de Combates Pandeportes is broadcasted live on ESPN+.
“After more than 18 years we return to the bridge of the Americas, the always warm welcoming Panama City,” said President of All Star Boxing.
“On April 29th, 2005 we hosted a historic world title bill featuring a thrilling 10th round stoppage of Robert “Arana” Vasquez over Beibis Mendoza for the vacant WBA flyweight title. It’s only right to celebrate the anniversary of the show with a high-stakes, triple crown international card.”
The co-main event of the evening is a 10-round featuring Derrieck Cuevas (24-1-1, 16 KOs) from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, and Damien Rodriguez (13-1, 7 KOs), a Cuban who currently resides in Panama City.
