16-Year Old Phenom Demler (DJ) Zamora III Looks to Remain Undefeated in Mexico

LAS VEGAS, NV (January 30, 2020) - 16-year-old featherweight sensation, Demler (DJ) Zamora III (1-0, 1 KO), who trains out of the Pound-4-Pound Boxing Gym, which is one of the top gyms in Las Vegas, Nevada, will return to the ring on January 31, 2020 at the Big Punch Arena in Tijuana, Mexico.
DJ Zamora III was a decorated amateur who has never lost in international competition, winning the Monkstown Box Cup in Ireland two years in a row, and in 2017, was voted the best male boxer at that tournament.
“It is a dream come true to have my second professional fights at only sixteen years old," said DJ Zamora III. “I am looking to have a similar performance as my professional debut, which was a first-round knockout. I am working hard, and I feel I made the right decision to turn professional at such a young age.”
DJ Zamora III is trained by his father, Demler Zamora II, and assistant coach, Richard Barrientes Jr.
“He was an outstanding amateur, but we made the decision to turn professional when he couldn’t compete in 2020 Olympics based on his age,” said Demler Zamora II, the father and trainer of DJ Zamora III. “At his height, five-foot-ten-inch, and fighting as a southpaw at featherweight, he has a major advantage over the rest of his competition. He has an incredible work ethic and I know he’s going to be something special."
“DJ has been getting great sparring this camp as he sparred Tugstsogt Nyambayar, who is fighting Gary Russell Jr. for the WBC featherweight title,” said Richard Barrientes Jr., Zamora III’s co-trainer. “DJ is a really good fighter and will make a lot of noise in the pros.”
