At super lightweight, Francis is thought to be a force, and his managers wish to see him competing against the best athletes. In the previous year, he defeated Raymundo Beltran, a former world champion.
Francis, 32, is definitely a house favorite for ProBox. He has fought his previous three fights in Florida, where he will headline once more. Cesar isn't truly a prospect since he's simply too old to be termed that. His most recent victories, over Francisco Armenta, Ray Beltran, and Mohamed Mimoune, came in March, July, and October 2022.
What about the Mexican, after suffering a devastating defeat to Deonte Brown in March 2022 in a ninth-round stoppage, Jesus Saracho, 21, has now won two straight fights and is looking to continue his winning streak. The opportunity to compete against a strong opponent is once in a lifetime for him.
In the co-feature, undefeated featherweight Oscar Alvarez Jr. (7-0, 7 KOs) will be fighting in an 8-rounds bout against former WBA Fedalatin beltholder Nicolas Polanco (20-3, 11 KOs).
Fight card:
▪️Cesar Francis vs. Jesus Saracho, 10 rounds, junior welterweight ▪️Oscar Alvarez vs. Nicolas Polanco, 8 rounds, featherweight ▪️Jonhatan Soares vs. Jose Arellano, 8 rounds, lightweights ▪️Lorenzo Medina vs. Clevland Billingsly, 4 rounds, heavyweight
