MIGUEL “EL EXPLOSIVO” MADUEÑO STEPS IN TO FACE WORLD TITLE CONTENDER OSCAR “LA MIGRAÑA” DUARTE IN A MÉXICO VS. MÉXICO BRAWL

PhilBoxing.com





SATURDAY, FEB. 15 - LIVE FROM HONDA CENTER AND BROADCAST WORLDWIDE ON DAZN

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Feb. 6, 2025) – In a newly announced main event, world title contender Oscar “La Migraña” Duarte (28-2-1, 22 KOs) will face a newly installed opponent, Miguel “El Explosivo” Madueño (31-3, 28 KOs), in what could become an all-out Mexico vs. Mexico brawl. Madueño steps in for the previously announced former two-time super lightweight world champion Regis “Rougarou” Prograis, who sustained a shoulder injury. The new main event is scheduled as a 12-round super lightweight bout for Saturday, Feb. 15. The event is presented in association with Cancun Boxing and Camponovo Sports, and will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN.

“It’s a shame that Regis Prograis was injured. As I said before, I was very happy to face a fighter of that level, a former world champion, and I hope he recovers soon,” said Duarte. “Despite the change of opponent, I do not lose motivation. I remain focused and prepare at 100%. I set a goal for myself, and I am not going to stop until I achieve it—to be world champion! I see that Miguel Madueño is a good fighter and very dangerous. I am going to fight smart to win this bout. I must not lose sight of the fact that he is an experienced boxer, and fights between Mexicans are guaranteed to be a good show. I am grateful to Golden Boy for this great opportunity!”

“As we’ve seen in the past with Mexican warriors, this will be a war inside the ring on Feb. 15,” said Chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya. “We applaud Miguel Madueño for accepting this challenge against Oscar Duarte. This main event will be even more explosive with two knockout artists, and I fully expect both to give the fight of their lives as they have everything to prove inside that ring.”

“In this sport, you never know when that call will come—that’s why I stay ready,” said Madueño. “This isn’t an easy fight, but that’s exactly why I do this. Boxing isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. I live it, breathe it, and right now, I’m hungry to get back in the win column. Oscar Duarte is a tough challenge, and I respect him for taking me on as a late replacement. But I’m not going to Anaheim to test my luck—I’m going to win. I’m going to fight, throw everything I’ve got, and prove that nothing great happens without taking your best shot.”

“We are grateful to Golden Boy and DAZN for this incredible opportunity and extend our best wishes to Regis Prograis for a swift recovery from the injury that sidelined him from this event,” said Alex Camponovo. “Stepping up on short notice, Miguel ‘El Explosivo’ Madueño embraces yet another tough challenge—something that has defined his career through grit, heart, and a relentless pursuit of the toughest tests. I commend him for betting on himself against a formidable opponent like Oscar Duarte. With both fighters possessing explosive knockout power and a passion for toe-to-toe action, fans at the Honda Center and those watching from home can expect nothing less than an electrifying showdown.”

Oscar “La Migraña” Duarte, of Parral, Chihuahua, has made his mark in boxing as one of the toughest world title contenders in the lightweight division. Known for his hunter-killer instincts and defensive skills, he is unafraid to engage any fighter. His only career blemishes are a loss to Adrian Estrella in 2019—which he avenged with 11 straight knockout victories—and a defeat to knockout artist Ryan Garcia in December 2023. His most recent win was a masterful performance on the “Latino Night” card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he defeated the resilient Botirzhon Akhmedov. Duarte turned professional in 2013 and has incredible Mexican star power behind him, with award-winning actor, model, and television host Gabriel Soto co-managing his career alongside Cancun Boxing.

Miguel Ángel Madueño Angulo, known by his ring name “El Explosivo,” is a Mexican professional boxer from Sinaloa, Mexico. Madueño has built a reputation for his formidable punching power, with an impressive 28 victories coming by knockout—giving him a knockout ratio exceeding 80%. He made his professional debut on Jan. 27, 2017, securing a first-round technical knockout against Luis Fernando Aguilar. Throughout his career, he has competed primarily in the lightweight and super lightweight divisions. Notable victories include wins over Juan Huertas, Luis Munoz Duran, and Manuel Martinez. His most recent bout was on July 6, 2024, when he faced Keyshawn Davis and suffered a unanimous decision loss. Despite this setback, Madueño continues to train and compete, aiming to further his career in the boxing world.
