Nayarit, Mexico (June 9, 2025) – A wave of hometown pride swept through Guayabitos, Nayarit, Mexico, as Armando “Toro” Rezendiz (16-2, 11 KOs), who is promoted by Boxlab Promotions and Warriors Boxing, returned home following his electrifying win over Caleb “Sweethands” Plant to capture the WBA interim super middleweight title. In a packed press conference followed by a parade attended by family, friends, fans, and local media, Rezendiz spoke from the heart about the significance of this victory and what lies ahead in his promising career.

This win was monumental for Rezendiz, who is managed by Jesse Rodriguez, as he states, “This belt means everything—it’s a testament to years of hard work and perseverance. Before this fight, I was just another contender trying to prove myself. Now, as a world champion, I feel like I’ve reached a new level. It’s given me confidence and opened doors I never thought possible. But most importantly, it’s shown me that when you truly believe in yourself and your team, nothing is impossible.”

Armando and the love for his hometown is strong and as he says, “Every time I fight, I carry the name of Guayabitos with me. We’re a small town, but we have big hearts and big dreams. I’m proud of where I’m from, and I hope this victory shows the kids back home that no dream is too big. This isn’t just my win—it’s a win for everyone who’s ever believed in me and for the people of Nayarit who have always supported me.”

On what’s next in his journey Rezendiz continued, “This title is only the beginning. I want to keep pushing forward, defending this belt and challenging the best in the division. My goal is to unify the titles and prove that I can stand with anyone in the world. Right now, I’m staying focused, humble, and working even harder in the gym. Whoever comes next, I’ll be ready.”

The atmosphere at the press conference was electric, with chants of “Toro! Toro!” echoing through the room as Armando fielded questions and posed for photos with his new championship belt. Fans lined up for autographs and selfies, while family members shared emotional embraces with the newly crowned champion.

In conclusion, Rezendiz also took a moment to thank his team, his promoters and supporters, emphasizing that this victory was the result of a collective effort, stating, “I couldn’t do this without the backing of my entire team. Everyone, my promoters, my manager, my trainers and family, we won this world title together. I’m truly grateful for their support.”
