YOELVIS GOMEZ READY TO SHINE IN RETURN BOUT AGAINST EDWINE HUMAINE JUNIOR

PhilBoxing.com





10-Round WBA Continental Latin America Title Bout

ORLANDO, FL (August 4, 2025) – Boxlab Promotions’ and Warriors Boxing’s middleweight standout Yoelvis Gomez (8-1, 7 KOs), fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada by way of Havana, Cuba, is set to make his long-awaited return to the ring in a 10-round showdown against Edwine Humaine Junior (9-1, 7 KOs) from Springfield, Massachusetts. On the line will be the WBA Continental Latin America Title.

The fight will take place Friday, August 22, 2025, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, as part of MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 14 card, streaming live on DAZN. Tickets can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.

For Gomez, this fight marks the end of a frustrating layoff and the beginning of a renewed push toward middleweight contention. "It’s been a long road back, but I’ve been working harder than ever," Gomez said. "This fight is my chance to show everyone that I’m still one of the most dangerous fighters in the division."

Facing Humaine Junior, an equally hard-hitting opponent with nearly identical knockout numbers, Gomez is eager for the challenge. "Edwine is tough, and I respect his power and skillset" Gomez added. "He’s a young hungry fighter and I’ll have to be ready for his aggressive style. This is going to be a war, and he’s going to find out that I’m coming to take him out early. I’ll be letting my hands go from the opening round.

The fight will also be Gomez’s first scheduled 10-rounder since his last major outing — a step he sees as both a challenge and an opportunity. "Going ten rounds is a test that I've past,” continued Gomez. “Although my last couple of fights have been 8-rounds, I’ve went the ten round distance twice in my career. I’ve trained for every possible scenario, and I’m prepared to go the distance if I have to."

A victory in Orlando would be more than just another win on his record — it could be the launchpad to bigger fights on an even bigger stage. "A win here puts me right back in the mix for the top names in the middleweight division," concluded Gomez. "This is my time to take control of my career and chase a world title. Fighting on DAZN means the whole world gets to see what I’ve been working on. I’m going to give the fans a memorable performance and stap this WBA Continental Latin America Title around my waist."

Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, expressed his excitement to have Gomez back in action: "We’re thrilled to see Yoelvis return to the ring. He’s got the talent, power, and heart to be a serious contender in the middleweight division, and we believe this fight is just the start of a big drive toward a world title."
