ISAAC LUCERO VS. ISMAEL FLORES
Fresh off a pair of KO victories in 2025, undefeated rising contender Isaac “Puro México” Lucero will look to bring that momentum into 2026 as he steps in against the power punching Ismael Flores, who makes his U.S. debut in this eight-round super welterweight showdown.
The 27-year-old Lucero (18-0, 14 KOs) turned pro in 2019 after an amateur career that saw him earn five national medals representing Mexico. A native of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, Lucero has stopped his last seven opponents entering May 2, and also owns a pair of 10-round unanimous decision triumphs. In looking to make his U.S. takeover, Lucero has set up camp in Las Vegas, where he is trained by renowned coach Bob Santos. Most recently, Lucero dominated veteran Roberto Valenzuela Jr. in December, stopping the fight at the end of round 8.
“I’m very grateful to my team, and everyone who worked to make this possible,” said Lucero. “Fighting on Cinco de Mayo weekend is every Mexican boxer’s dream, and I accept this challenge with the upmost professionalism, as I’ll be facing the most important challenge of my career on this huge stage. I will show everyone why I’m ‘Puro México!’”
Originally from Argentina, Flores (17-1-1, 12 KOs) moved to Spain to pursue his boxing dreams and has put together an impressive record fighting out of the country since 2021. The 27-year-old has won seven straight fights since a decision defeat to Jorge Fortea in 2023, including five-straight wins inside of the distance. Most recently, Flores added two knockouts to that streak in 2025, blasting out Johan Nova in two rounds in March before a ninth-round stoppage victory over Oliver Quintana Sanchez in October.
“I’m so excited about this fight, it’s the kind of fight I’ve wanted for a long time,” said Flores. “This fight is going to change my life. I’ve never stopped training, so I was more than ready to jump on this opportunity. I’m in great shape and I’m going to surprise everyone. I’m coming to stay in the U.S. for a long time.”
JORGE CHAVEZ VS. JOSE “TITO” SANCHEZ
In a super bantamweight attraction, undefeated rising contenders square off as Jorge Chavez and Jose “Tito” Sanchez step into the ring for a 10-round showdown that sets the winner up with a career-best victory on their path to a world title.
The 26-year-old Chavez (15-0-1, 8 KOs) returns to action after kicking off 2026 by avenging the only blemish on his record. Chavez scored a unanimous decision in January over Manuel Flores after the combatants had previously battled to a majority draw last July. Originally from Tijuana and now training in Orange County, Chavez’s two bouts against Flores were his first two 10 rounds bouts after he won a pair of nearly shutout eight rounds decisions in his prior two outings. A pro since 2021, Chavez’s January victory also earned him a California State Title at 122-pounds.
“I’m so thankful to be a fighter of Mexican descent competing on pay-per-view on the world’s biggest stage on Cinco de Mayo weekend,” said Chavez. “I’m grateful to my entire team for this chance to showcase my skills as part of such a huge event. I’ve worked so hard my entire life for this opportunity and I intend to put on a great show May 2. Viva Mexico!”
Representing Cathedral City, California, Sanchez (15-0. 9 KOs) is trained by the renowned Joel Diaz as he looks to make a statement in the super bantamweight division. The 26-year-old ended a 15-month layoff in January, as he stepped back into the ring to deliver a sixth-round knockout of Jesus Eduardo Ramirez Rubio. Sanchez had previously put together an impressive 2024 that saw him first turn back veteran Erik Ruiz via unanimous decision in April before scoring an eighth-round knockout of Edwin Palomares in October.
“On May 2, I will finally get my chance to fight on a huge card in Las Vegas and fulfill a dream I’ve had ever since I was a kid,” said Sanchez. “I’ve trained very hard to make it to this level, and I want to thank my family and my whole team for this opportunity to shine in front of the crowd in Las Vegas during this big boxing weekend. But your tickets and come out early to watch a great show.”
