Christy Martin Promotions Signs Undefeated Super Bantamweight Prospect Sheldon Vallotton to Promotional Contract

PhilBoxing.com




March 25, 2025 – Christy Martin Promotions proudly announces the signing of undefeated super bantamweight prospect Sheldon Vallotton to a promotional contract.

20-year-old Vallotton (3-0, 2 KOs) hails from New Orleans, LA. He turned professional in September of last year, after becoming a three-time Louisiana Golden Gloves Champ as an amateur and regularly competing nationally.

A slick southpaw who trains daily with father/coach and former fighter Damien Duquestrada at their family-run Duquestrada’s Boxing Academy, the pair also regularly travel to other gyms to spar and work out with fellow up-and-coming prospects, including undefeated featherweight and fellow Christy Martin Promotions stablemate Victor Hernandez (12-0), undefeated lightweight Devin Cushing (16-0), and once-beaten Nicaraguan veteran Winston Guerrero (22-1), among others.

It was while working with Hernandez for his upcoming fight at the time that Vallotton caught the eye of Ms. Martin’s wife, fellow former fighter Lisa Holewyne, who recommended him to Martin.

Vallotton says signing this promotional agreement is a critical next step for his ring aspirations. “I’m very blessed,” he said. “I really appreciate this exciting opportunity. Lisa and Christy have given me a chance to face a much higher level of competition, climb the rankings and get a lot closer to my dream of becoming world champion.”

Originally from Cienfuegos, Cuba, Coach Duquestrada, who retired from his own fighting career in 1999, says his background in the Cuban amateur system is evident in his son’s crafty Cuban/American hybrid style in the ring.

“I gave him that Cuban style of using angles with lots of fast punches and a lot of smart movement, and paying attention to banging the body.”

Duquestrada says he’s also happy with his son’s new promotional agreement.

“I think it’s a blessing. It’s a great opportunity,” he said. “I knew of Christy from my era, when she was fighting on Mike Tyson undercards. I feel like we’re unstoppable together. We plan to work hard toward bigger and better things in boxing.”

“I’m excited about signing Sheldon,” added Christy Martin. “He is a strong, elusive southpaw with a lot of charisma that fans love. He’s got a good family behind him and a big fanbase in Louisiana. The sky is truly the limit for this young man.”
