PhilBoxing.com




ORLANDO, FL (August 5, 2024) – After seeing this past weekend’s heavyweight fights that included Andy Ruiz Jr., Jarrell Miller, Jared Anderson and Martin Bakole, undefeated heavyweight star on the rise, Dainier “The Fear” Pero (8-0, 6 KOs), believes he compete with any of the top heavyweights in the world.

In his last bout, a thrilling display of power, speed and skill, Pero delivered a stunning 5th round knockout against James Evans (7-2-1, 7 KOs) at the Caribe Royale Hotel in Orlando. The fight, part of MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 7 card, showcased Pero’s undeniable talent and solidified his status as a rising star in the heavyweight division.

Pero, known for his explosive power and exceptional footwork, dominated the bout from the opening bell, culminating in a spectacular knockout that left fans and critics praising his talent. Following his impressive victory and seeing his competition over the weekend, Pero expressed his confidence in his ability to compete with the top heavyweights in the world.

“After watching this past weekend’s fights, I truly believe my speed and footwork give me an edge against any heavyweight out there,” said Pero, who is promoted by Boxlab Promotions. “I showed a lot in my last fight. I’m ready to take on anyone and prove that I belong among the best in the division.”

Pero’s trainer, the well-respected Bob Santos, confirmed his fighter’s thoughts, praising Pero’s dedication and talent. “I’ve trained many fighters, but Dainier Pero is something special. His combination of speed, power, and footwork is amazing. I firmly believe we have the next great heavyweight star in boxing. He’s a bigger version of Oleksandr Usyk.”

“Dainier Pero has all the tools to become a dominant force in the heavyweight division,” said Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions and Pero’s promoter. “His performance against Evans was just the beginning. The sky is the limit for him, and we are committed to guiding him to the top.”

“My latest victory was a statement, but it’s only the beginning,” said Pero as he continues to climb the heavyweight rankings. “I’m ready to step up and take on bigger challenges. I want to prove myself against the best and continue my journey to the top of the heavyweight division.”
