Undefeated Cuban Heavyweight Prospect Dainier Pero Finishes Intense Las Vegas Training Camp Ahead of May 9 MVP Main Event on DAZN

PhilBoxing.com




LAS VEGAS, NV (May 6, 2025) — Boxlab Proomotions' rising heavyweight force and 25-year-old Cuban Olympian Dainier “The Fear” Pero (10-0, 8 KOs) has completed a focused and high-level training camp in Las Vegas under the guidance of world-renowned coach Bob Santos, ahead of the biggest fight of his professional career.

Pero will headline the Most Valuable Prospects 12 card, promoted by MVP, in a scheduled 10-round heavyweight bout against hard-hitting Juan Antonio Navarro on Friday, May 9, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. The event will be televised live on DAZN, marking Pero’s first main event appearance on a nationally televised stage.

Training in Las Vegas, Pero and Santos have been laser-focused on refining his technical ability, ring IQ, and endurance as he prepares for the challenge ahead. “We’ve been working hard, but doing it smart,” said Pero. “Coach Bob Santos knows how to push when needed, and I feel I’m getting better with each camp. We’ve been working on controlling the pace, staying sharp defensively, and using my size and speed in smarter ways. I feel more prepared than ever.”

Pero faces a dangerous test in Navarro, a known power puncher with knockout intent. But the Cuban Olympian is embracing the challenge. “I know Navarro comes to fight and carries real power,” added Pero. “This type of fight is what we’ve been preparing for—a tough opponent that brings out the best in me. I’m here to show I’m ready for the top of the division, and Navarro is standing in my way. My goal is to take him out and do it impressively.”

As he steps into his first main event on an MVP show, Pero is eager to make a lasting impression. “To headline a card like this on DAZN and MVP is the next step in my career.” Pero concluded. “Fighting on this kind of stage, means everything to me. I want fans around the world to remember my name after May 9.”

Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, has been instrumental in guiding Pero’s career and believes the young heavyweight’s time is coming. “Dainier Pero is one of the most promising heavyweight prospects in the world,” said Piedra. “His amateur pedigree, combined with the discipline he’s shown in the pros, is rare. This main event is just the beginning—we believe he’s on a fast track to title contention.”
