BETHLEHEM, PA (April 6, 2024) - Super middleweight rising star Angel Chavez (10-0, 8 KOs) continues his undefeated streak with a dominating performance against Khainell Wheeler (7-4, 6 KOs) of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In his first 8-round bout, Chavez showcased his power in the ring, securing a second-round knockout victory.
The bout, held in Wheeler's hometown, saw Chavez who is promoted by Amaury Piedra, of Boxlab Promotions, taking control from the outset. After a strategic first round, Chavez unleashed a powerful right uppercut followed by a precise left hook to the head, staggering Wheeler, forcing him to take a knee in round two. With Wheeler hurt, Chavez capitalized on the opportunity. Chavez followed with a relentless flurry of punches, ultimately forcing the referee to stop the fight in the middle of the round.
Reflecting on his victory, Chavez stated, "It feels incredible to come out victorious in Wheeler's hometown. I felt confident in my abilities, and I'm grateful for the support of my fans and team. I wasn’t too happy that he didn’t honor his contract by coming in overweight, so I took it out on him. I had to punish him."
Coach Bob Santos expressed his admiration for Chavez's performance, stating, "Angel showed he is a force in this division. He had no hesitation in taking this fight after the guy came in way overweight, that says a lot about his mindset. This kid reminds me a lot of David Benavidez. His execution was flawless, and I couldn't be prouder of his victory."
