MANUEL “GUCCI MANNY” FLORES RETURNS AS MAIN EVENT FOR GOLDEN BOY FIGHT NIGHT ON DAZN

PhilBoxing.com





LIVE FROM FANTASY SPRINGS ON THURSDAY, MARCH 6

INDIO, California (Feb. 10, 2025) – The Coachella Valley’s hometown hero Manuel "Gucci Manny" Flores (18-1, 14 KOs) will return to headline Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN in a 10-round super bantamweight matchup against Jorge "Zurdo" Leyva (18-3, 13 KOs) of La Paz, Mexico. With four consecutive knockout performances, Flores will be looking to give the fans another treat. He will face tough southpaw Leyva, who is no stranger to stepping into the lion’s den and pulling off a victory. The 10-round main event will take place at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. Doors to the Special Events Center open at 5 p.m. PT, and the worldwide broadcast on DAZN will begin at 6 p.m. PT.

“I’m back in my hometown and ready to put on another show!” said Flores. “I am ready to separate myself from the rest of the division and continue my quest to become the best!”

“First and foremost, I would like to thank God, Golden Boy, and my team for this great opportunity,” said Leyva. “My promoter called me today to offer me the fight against Flores, and without hesitation, I said yes. Please make it happen. I will be mentally and physically ready for a war. Manuel Flores is a great and tough fighter; however, I am up for the challenge. I know the importance of this fight. A win over Flores will be huge and will open up many great opportunities for me. I dedicate this fight to my family and all the boxing fans watching on DAZN.”

“Our Golden Boy Fight Night shows are a fight fan’s opportunity to see boxing’s hottest prospects of today as they become tomorrow’s future world champions,” said Golden Boy Chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya. “Our March 6 event is no exception, as the show will feature nonstop action from top to bottom, with a main event that will be a sure-fire knockout!”
