PhilBoxing.com




LAS VEGAS, NV (January 28, 2025) – Undefeated WBA and WBO Youth Super Featherweight Champion Kaipo Gallegos (7-0-1, 6 KOs), is set to make his highly anticipated 2025 debut on February 1, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Fighting on the undercard of the blockbuster David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr. event, Gallegos will face veteran Leonardo Padilla (24-6-1, 17 KOs) in an eight-round bout.

This marks Gallegos’ first fight of the year, and the Las Vegas native is eager to perform at home in front of a passionate crowd. The 18-year-old star on the rise, co-promoted by Boxlab Promotions and Shuan Boxing, is quickly ascending through the ranks with his combination of explosive power and technical skill. Now, he’ll take on his most experienced opponent yet in Padilla, who has over 30 professional fights under his belt.

“Fighting at the T-Mobile Arena in my hometown is always a good feeling, as I know I’ll have the support of family and friends,” said Gallegos. “Padilla is a tough, experienced opponent, and I know he’ll come to fight. But these are the challenges I need to grow as a fighter and show everyone what I’m capable of.”

The Benavidez-Morrell card is one of the biggest boxing events to kick off 2025, and Gallegos is thrilled to be part of it. “This is a huge event, and I’m honored to be on the same stage as some of the best fighters in the world. It’s an opportunity to show fans what I bring to the table.”

Gallegos also urged fans to get to the arena early to catch his fight. “If you’ve never seen me fight, you’re in for a treat. I promise to bring excitement, power, and action. Don’t miss it.”

“Kaipo has all the tools to become a top contender in the super featherweight division,” said Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, in regard to Gallegos’ future. “Fighting tough opposition like Padilla is exactly what he needs at this stage of his career. We’re excited to see him continue to grow and make a statement on a massive stage like this.”

Coming off an impressive 2024 campaign, Gallegos plans to stay active this year and build on his momentum. “Staying busy is very important. I want to keep improving and fighting the best competition available. Every fight is a step toward my ultimate goal of becoming a world champion.”

With a perfect record and a growing reputation as one of boxing’s most exciting young talents, Kaipo Gallegos is poised for a breakout year. Fans won’t want to miss his first fight of 2025 at the T-Mobile Arena on February 1st.
