A 20-year-old phenom who has ended ten of his eleven wins by knockout, Buena Park's Christian "Chimpa" Gonzalez won his first seven bouts in, Mexico by first-round knockout. Since then, he has gone 4-0 with three KOs, defeating Misael Chacon and the tough Julio Sariana who sent him into the mat for the first time in his professional career. Most recently, Gonzalez was last seen decisioning over Darryl Hayes and stopping Luis Ruiz Lizarraga Jr. in two rounds in September. Now, Gonzalez is ready to please his fans in his fourth and first headlining appearance at LA FIGHT CLUB in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles super bantamweight Emilio Sanchez will step into his December 4 bout as the co-main event attraction, and it's a responsibility the 21-year-old takes seriously. Making his professional debut in 2013, the undefeated Sanchez can do it all in the ring. Sanchez won his first three bouts in 2013 via first-round knockouts and has continued to impress through 2015. Given that his last four victories have taken place in the Belasco Theater, he will be right at home no matter who stands across the ring from him on fight night.

Unbeaten in eight pro bouts, local favorite Ivan "Striker" Delgado will open up the TV portion of the card in a six-round super featherweight matchup. The 25-year-old has had a big year in 2015, winning four bouts, including three LA FIGHT CLUB victories, most recently over Thomas Herrera in September. Delgado has stayed local, building up his name and reputation on the Southern California boxing circuit, including a win by unanimous decision against Angel Albelo at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena on July 11.

Making his professional debut in March 2011, Jose "Flash" Bustos of Cuidad Juarez, Mexico, racked up seven victories in his home country. Bustos made his U.S. debut against Frank Santos De Alba in February 2015 where is lost by unanimous decision. His next three bouts proved difficult for the 24-year-old fighter, but Bustos is ready and seeks redemption when he faces Ivan Delgado next month at his LA FIGHT CLUB debut.

Hailing from San Antonio, Joshua Franco made his professional debut as a new Golden Boy fighter on the August 6 edition of the hit monthly series LA FIGHT CLUB defeating Temoatzin Landeros via split decision, and quickly followed up with a victory over Saul Hernandez at the October installment. In a six-round super flyweight bout, San Antonio's Franco returns to the Belasco, looking to build on the two LA FIGHT CLUB bouts he has won since entering the pro ranks in 2015 after an impressive amateur career.

Growing his fan base with each successive victory, LA's Nick Arce has yet to let an opponent hear the final bell, with four of those wins coming in 2015. The 19-year-old most recently defeated Juan Hernandez at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. on October 3 with an impressive fourth round knockout. The former amateur standout hopes to keep his streak going this December competing in a six-round super featherweight bout to end his year at the Belasco.

Teenage terror Pablo "The Shark" Rubio Jr. has already made waves since turning pro in June, knocking out two of his three opponents. The 18-year-old from Los Angeles, who has fought in the 2014 USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open in the youth lightweight class at 123 lbs. and has sparred with the likes of undefeated professional boxer Leo Santa Cruz, will be back at the Belasco Theater for his fourth appearance in a four-round super bantamweight bout on December 4.

LA FIGHT CLUB is a monthly boxing series that showcases the brightest stars in the sport and present these exciting matchups in a nightclub atmosphere with an original setup. The boxing ring is set on the main floor of the Belasco Theater with on-camera standing room for fans in front of the ring similar to a concert pit, as well as reserved balcony and floor seats. Los Angeles' own DJ Ray of Big Boy's Neighborhood spins music during the fights and fans are able to dance and mingle with the fighters when the venue converts into a night club, in a VIP experience not matched by any promoter in the industry.

Media interested in attending the December 4 installment of LA FIGHT CLUB must be pre-approved for credentials. Credential applications will be available soon. Completed credential applications should be sent to credentials@mercuryllc.com by 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 26. Media will not be credentialed on-site, no exceptions.
