PhilBoxing.com




SAN JUAN, PR (December 10, 2024) –Boxlab Promotions’ undefeated super featherweight prospect Carlos De Leon Castro (3-0, 2 KOs) thrilled his hometown fans this past Saturday with a spectacular first-round knockout of Jose Alfredo Guevara (2-3-1, 1 KO) at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The scheduled 4-round bout was part of a DAZN-broadcast event promoted by Universal Promotions and Matchroom Boxing.

De Leon Castro, a standout amateur and one of Boxlab Promotions’ brightest prospects, overwhelmed Guevara with a ferocious combination of body and head shots. The decisive sequence came at the 2:30 mark of round one when De Leon Castro landed a devastating left hook to the body followed by a left hook-straight right combo to the head, forcing the referee to stop the fight.

"Fighting in my hometown of San Juan, in front of my family, friends, and supporters, was an unforgettable experience,” said De Leon Castro, a rising star in the sport. “Hearing the crowd roar after the knockout was a moment I’ll cherish forever. Fighting on DAZN allows me to show the world my skills. It’s an honor to represent Puerto Rico on such a big platform and prove why I’m one of the sport’s top young fighters."

"Carlos showed why he’s one of the most exciting prospects in boxing,” said Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, as he praised De Leon Castro’s performance and shared his vision for the fighter’s future. “His poise, power, and precision were on full display. In 2025, we’ll continue to develop him, taking on tougher challenges as we move closer to title contention. The future is very bright for Carlos."

De Leon Castro’s commanding victory has further solidified his reputation as a fighter to watch in the super featherweight division. With an electric hometown performance and his star power growing, the young Puerto Rican is poised for a breakout year in 2025.

"This is just the beginning,” concluded De Leon Castor. “In 2025, I’m planning to stay busy, keep improving, and work my way toward bigger fights. My goal is to become a world champion and bring pride to Puerto Rico."
