PhilBoxing.com


MIAMI, FLORIDA--2022 BWAA Manager of the Year Peter Kahn is pleased to announce the signing of undefeated Juanmita Lopez DeJesus to an exclusive managerial contract.

Lopez, 19 years-old of Caguas, Puerto Rico has a professional record of 3-0 with two knockouts.

Before turning pro, Lopez represented his country in the 2024 Olympic Games.

The son of former two-division world champion Juan Manuel Lopez, Juanmita was a distinguished amateur as he reached the semifinals of the IBA Youth World Championships in 2022 and won a Puerto Rican National Championship the following year. Juanmita entered the 2024 Olympics as one of the youngest boxers. He fell short to gold medalist Hasanboy Dusmatov.

Juanmita turned professional on February 14th with a first-round stoppage over Bryan Santiago at The Madison Square Garden Theater. After defeating undefeated Mark Ordonez-Torres, Juanmita returned to The Madison Square Garden Theater with a second-round stoppage over Jorge Gonzalez-Sanchez on July 26th.

"I am excited to announce that experienced manager Peter Kahn is joining my team. This signing is a significant milestone in my career and will provide me with opportunities to achieve my goals in the sport of boxing. Together, we are building a complete team that reflects my commitment to becoming a world champion for my people and my determination to proudly raise the Puerto Rican flag high" said Lopez DeJesus.

"I am extremely excited to be working with Juanmita and his team. He is a very young and talented fighter, and has all of the tools to be a world champion in multiple weight divisions. He will add to the rich history of Puerto Rican champions. He is bilingual, he has a great personality and understands what it's going to take to fulfill his dreams," said Kahn

Lopez is promoted by Top Rank.

Lopez is the latest addition to the impressive roster of fighters that Kahn manages. Those fighters include WBO Junior Middleweight world champion Xander Zayas, WBA/WBC Super Middleweight world champion Franchon Crews-Dezurn, number-one ranked lightweight Andy Cruz, WBA Super Flyweight world champion Jasmine Artiga, super lightweight Aaron Aponte, undefeated super featherweight Henry Lebron, undefeated flyweight world title challenger Yankiel Rivera and undefeated lightweight Charlie Sheehy.
