SEMINOLE HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO HOLLYWOOD IN MAIN EVENT OF FISTS OF FURY 7 ON FRIDAY, JULY 25

Presented by Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory, FOF7 Will Also Feature Undefeated Cuban Super Welterweight Yan Marcos in Co-Featured Attraction, Plus Seven More Bouts

Hollywood, FL – July 2, 2025 – On Friday, July 25, Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory will present the seventh installment of their “Fists of Fury” professional boxing series at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Hollywood, FL.

In the 10-round main event will be power-punching undefeated WBA #5-ranked lightweight Armando Martinez Rabi (15-0, 14 KOs) making a triumphant return to the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood for his sixth consecutive appearance. Last seen knocking out former two-time world title challenger Alberto Guevara in three brutal rounds to retain his WBC and WBA Continental Lightweight Championships last April, Martinez Rabi has become a fan favorite in his adopted home of Miami.

Originally from Havana, Cuba, 30-year-old Martinez Rabi is a former top international amateur for the esteemed Cuban National Team and has also competed in the World Series of Boxing and Team Combat League. Quick and agile, Martinez Rabi can stand right in front of his opponents and seldom get touched while firing world-class power shots of his own that have resulted in knockouts in 14 of his 15 professional wins, dating back to his debut in 2021.

Martinez Rabi had his first nine fights in Dubai before relocating to the United States. He has also already held the WBC Latin Championship, which he won via TKO 3 over Argentina’s Damian Alejandro Rojas.

The night’s 10-round co-featured bout will showcase undefeated Cuban super welterweight Yan Marcos (13-0, 9 KOS) of Miami via Havana.

A 24-year-old southpaw, Marcos is also a former top international amateur for Team Cuba. After turning pro in 2021, Marcos had his first nine fights in Dubai. This will Marcos’ second appearance at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. He stopped Luis Solis in four rounds at the inaugural Fists of Fury event last October.

In his most recent fight, Marcos impressively stopped 18-5 David Lobo Ramirez in four rounds at the Tony Rosa Community Center in Palm Bay last April.

Opponents for both Armando Martinez Rabi and Yan Marcos are being finalized and will be announced shortly.

In a six-round heavyweight clash, hometown hero Lorenzo “Giant Killer” Medina (12-0, 10 KOS) of Hollywood, Florida, will face Colombian veteran Francisco Cordero (47-23, 36 KOs) of Barranquilla.

Medina will be making his second consecutive appearance at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. He stopped longtime gatekeeper Santander Silgado Gelez in one round last February.

Six more explosive fights are scheduled for the jam-packed undercard, featuring several local and international prospects in exciting matchups.

The complete lineup of matches will be announced shortly.
