Andres “Savage” Cortes Finishes Strong Training Camp Ahead of Crucial May 10 Clash Against Salvador Jimenez at Pechanga Arena San Diego

PhilBoxing.com




LAS VEGAS, NV (May 5, 2025) — Top Rank’s undefeated junior lightweight contender Andres “Savage” Cortes (20-0, 12 KOs) has wrapped up an intensive and powerful training camp in Las Vegas ahead of his upcoming 10-round showdown against Spain’s Salvador Jimenez (14-1-1, 6 KOs) on Saturday, May 10, at Pechanga Arena San Diego.

Cortes vs. Jimenez will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+. Promoted by Top Rank, tickets are on sale now at AXS.com.

The bout, which is part of a stacked night of action, marks another major step in Cortes’ march toward a world title. Currently ranked #5 in the world by the WBO, the Las Vegas native knows a dominant performance could push him even closer to a title shot in the highly competitive 130-pound division.

Cortes, who trains under the guidance of his brother and manager Luis Cortes, believes this camp has brought out the best in him—mentally and physically. He’s looking to steal the show on May 10th with a sensational performance.

“Training camp went great,” said Cortes. “Having my brother Luis in my corner, pushing me every day, makes all the difference. We’re focused on our goals, and this camp showed that. I feel sharp, strong, and ready for whatever comes May 10.”

The matchup with Jimenez is expected to be a high-skill chess match, as both fighters bring speed, footwork, and strong boxing IQs into the ring. “Salvador Jimenez is not an easy fight. He’s a smart, disciplined fighter with only one loss, and I’m preparing for a tough challenge,” Cortes said. “But I’m here to prove that I belong at the top. This is the kind of fight that will prove I’m ready for a world title shot.”

A win on May 10 would mark another significant milestone in Cortes’ unbeaten career and position him firmly in the title conversation. “At this point in my boxing life, every fight is the most important fight of my career,” Cortes added. “A win here puts me right where I want to be—a step away from a world title shot. I’m not looking past Jimenez, but I know what’s on the line, and I’m ready to seize the moment.”

Luis Cortes echoed his brother’s confidence and praised the effort and mindset shown throughout camp. “This was one of the best camps we’ve had,” said Luis Cortes. “Andres came in hungry, focused, and is determined to make a statement. He’s ready for the next level, and May 10 is going to be another big step toward becoming world champion.”
