Undefeated prospect Marco Romero To be showcased on Deontay Wilder PPV card this Friday night in Wichita

PhilBoxing.com


KANSAS CITY, Kan. (June 23, 2025) – Only two weeks after his last fight, fast-tracked Kansas boxing phenom Marco “El Tiburon” Romero (8-0, 7 KOs) returns this Friday night in Wichita to fight on the “Legacy Reloaded” card, presented by Global Combat Collective, and headlined by the ring return of former world heavyweight champion and 2008 US Olympic bronze medalist Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder.

Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs) takes on Tyrrell Herndon (24-5, 15 KOs) in the 10-round main event, while super middleweight prospect Romero faces undefeated Hawaiian Andre Amaro (2-0, 2 KOs) in a scheduled 6-round bout.

“Legacy Reloaded” will air live from the Charles Koch Arena, starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, and be distributed by BLK Prine and Integrated Sports across the United States and Canada live on Cable, Satellite, and Digital Pay-per-View via iN DEMAND, DIRECTV, DISH, Bell TV, Rogers, Fubo, and PPV.com for $24.95. It will also be available for streaming via Digital PPV and BLKPrime.com.

In his fourth fight of 2025, Romero attacked his opponent from the opening bell, displaying another vicious body attack, to register an impressive second-round technical knockout of Nafys Anas Garner (4-2) on June 14 in Portland, Maine.

“Any opportunity I have to step in the ring, especially in Kansas, I’m going to give the audience my best,” Romero concluded. “It’s important for me to put on a show to gain new fans in Kansas and from around the world. Anybody who wants to get on the ‘El Tiburon’ train is welcome.”

“Marco is excited to be on this card that is so close to his home, and he is more than ready to notch his ninth victory,” manager/head coach Brown commented. “He’s inching his way to Kansas City, where he will have the opportunity to display his talents in front of a home crown on September 6 in his hometown of Olathe, Kansas.”
