Sampson Boxing Signs WBC #5 Minimumweight Luis Angel Castillo to a Promotional Contract PhilBoxing.com Wed, 16 Oct 2019  Luis Angel Castillo. Sampson Lewkowicz proudly announces the signing of WBC #5 minimumweight Luis Angel “Flechito” Castillo to a promotional contract. 22-year-old Castillo (16-0-1, 11 KOs), from Los Mochis, SIN, Mexico, is trained and managed by legendary trainer of champions Manuel Montiel at the Cochul Gym. He went 35-4 as an amateur and won some regional titles. As a professional, however, Castillo has already secured a world rating and scored a dominant 10-round decision over former IBF world champion Mario “Dragoncito” Rodriguez in March 2018. In his last ring appearance, he needed just two rounds to stop 12-1 countryman Jose Alonso Nunez Lopez. “I am very proud to have signed with Sampson,” said Castillo. “He has taken many boxers to world championships. I will work hard to live up to his faith in me and win another world title for Los Mochis.” Montiel, brother of world champion Fernando Montiel and hall-of-fame candidate Jorge Arce among many others, says he’s happy to have brokered this deal for his young fighter. “Sampson and I have enjoyed a business partnership and friendship for many years and I know he will do a perfect job with this young fighter,” said Montiel. “I have the utmost faith he will be given the opportunities he needs to reach his dreams. Luis is a very hard worker and is very dedicated to his training. He now has everything he needs to win a championship.” “I am looking forward to helping Luis Castillo, another outstanding fighter from Montiel’s Cochul Gym. Manuel and I have been friends almost since I started boxing and I know he will only work with fighters who live right and train right, so I know Luis will be perfectly prepared for his fights. It is my pleasure to be associated with such a talented young fighter and his coach and my dear friend Manuel Montiel.” About Sampson Boxing Sampson Boxing has promotional partners all over North and South America, Africa, Asia, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Central America.
