July 24th, I’m not just fighting an opponent; I’m defending my honor and representing my roots.” "I’m excited to headline this card and can’t wait to perform in front of all my Southern California fans on July 24th,” said Jorge Chavez. “Fantasy Springs is close to my hometown of San Diego, so I’m expecting the support to show up on fight night. Manny Flores is a good fighter and this is the type of challenge I have wanted. I know I will rise to occasion and have an incredible performance, because winning this fight will take me to another level. I want to thank my coach Hector, my manager Abraham Perez and my team for believing in me.” “At Golden Boy, we’re in the business of building champions,” said Chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya. “It starts with spotting the next big stars and testing them against the best. Flores is riding the momentum of back-to-back knockout victories and Chávez is an undefeated fighter hungry to prove he’s ready for the next level.

Media interested in a credential to cover the fight can apply at https://www.goldenboy.com/press-credentials/. Applications are due by Friday, July 18. Representing Coachella, CA, Manny Flores is an exciting fighter in the super bantamweight division. After debuting in June 2017, he quickly gained attention for his aggressive style and explosive power, stringing together an impressive winning streak. While he faced a setback in June 2023 with a unanimous decision loss to Walter Santibanes, he's since bounced back in spectacular fashion, winning five back-to-back fights by knockout. Most recently, he headlined at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, where he delivered a stunning fourth-round knockout against Mexico's Jorge Leyva, adding to his growing list of highlight-reel finishes. Flores steps back into the ring on July 24 at Fantasy Springs, ready to prove himself against San Diego’s undefeated Jorge Chavez. This matchup between two of Golden Boy’s top rising stars promises fireworks and marks a pivotal moment in both fighters’ careers. Training under the guidance of Joel and Antonio Diaz at Diaz Training Camp in Indio, CA, alongside world-class talent like Israil Madrimov, Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Batyr Akhmedov, “Gucci Manny” is constantly improving. With his momentum and determination, Flores is on track for bigger things in the super bantamweight division. Representing Tijuana and residing in San Diego, Jorge Chavez (14-0, 8 KO’s) is one of Golden Boy’s most promising prospects. With a 60-7 amateur record, Chavez’s journey to the professional world wasn’t easy. As an immigrant fighter, he didn’t have the same opportunities to travel and build his amateur background as many of his peers, but his talent and determination have carried him through. Known for his boxer-puncher style, Chavez combines solid technical skills with the ability to generate power when needed. Chavez made his professional debut in November 2021, and after impressing in his early bouts, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions in November 2023. Most recently, he showcased his crowd-pleasing style in a high-energy bout against the heavy-hitting Brandon Douglas on the Fundora vs. Badillo undercard at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, CA. The eight-round contest reminded fans why 'El Niño Dorado' has become a must-watch every time he fights. Now gearing up for the toughest test of his career, Chavez is set to face the talented Manuel "Gucci Manny" Flores in a highly anticipated showdown between two of Golden Boy’s brightest rising stars. The bout will take place as part of Golden Boy Fight Night at Fantasy Springs on July 24. Training out of Santa Ana with coach Hector Lopez, Chavez works alongside top talents like Alexis Rocha, Ronny Rios, and Bryan Lua, constantly sharpening his craft. With his unbeaten record and a promising future, Chavez is rapidly emerging as a fighter to watch in the super bantamweight division. ### Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN is presented by Golden Boy Promotions.
