The Robert Garcia-trained puncher is 10-0 with 6 knockouts
LAS VEGAS (Aug. 12, 2024) — Featherweight prospect Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez, the latest power-punching standout from the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy, has signed a long-term promotional contract with Top Rank.
Gonzalez picked up his third win of 2024 last Saturday in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a third-round TKO over Damian Alcala. His next ring outing will be announced shortly.
“Albert Gonzalez is a ferocious, aggressive puncher, someone I feel is going to be a real force at featherweight and beyond for years to come,” said Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum. “With Robert Garcia and his team guiding him inside the ring, combined with his natural talent, he has all the tools to become a champion.”
“I want to thank God, my team, and everyone who had something to do with getting this done. Although getting here has been a long road, this is only the beginning,” Gonzalez said. “And for those who are new to me, I hope you enjoy the ride. I have a fan-friendly style and always give the fans their money’s worth.”
Gonzalez (10-0, 6 KOs), from Moreno Valley, California, turned pro in November 2021 with a unanimous decision over Chamar Flowers. The 22-year-old went 4-0 with a pair of knockouts in 2023 and began his 2024 campaign in April with a first-round TKO over Joel Alberto Mora. He made his Top Rank on ESPN debut in July, overwhelming Conrado Martinez with a barrage of power shots en route to a sixth-round stoppage. He returned less than a month later, becoming the first man to stop 13-fight veteran Alcala.
