KAIPO GALLEGOS TRAINING CAMP NOTES PhilBoxing.com Thu, 18 Sep 2025  "I’m ready for whatever he brings. I respect him, but I plan to dominate" - Kaipo Gallegos ORLANDO, FL – September 17, 2025 – Rising lightweight star Kaipo Gallegos (9-0-1, 7 KOs) will put his unbeaten record on the line when he steps into the ring for an 8-round showdown against seasoned Puerto Rican veteran Alberto Mercado (17-8-1, 4 KOs) on Friday, September 19, 2025, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. The bout is part of Boxlab Promotions’ signature “Night of Champions” series, a premier platform showcasing elite talent and future contenders. The event will be streamed live on BXNGTV, and tickets are available now at ticketmaster.com. Gallegos, the 19-year-old southpaw from Las Vegas, NV, has been building strong momentum throughout 2025 and looks to notch his fourth victory of the year when he faces the battle-tested Mercado. Here is what Gallegos, who is co-promoted with Shuan Boxing, had to say about his matchup with Mercado, his recent training camp, staying busy, and more. On his upcoming matchup, Gallegos emphasized the challenge that Mercado presents. “Alberto’s been in with some solid guys, and he’s got experience, so I know I have to be sharp. But I’m ready for whatever he brings. I respect him, but I plan to dominate. Every fight is a step forward—and I’m climbing fast with this matchup.” Gallegos recently wrapped up training camp in Las Vegas under the guidance of his father and head coach, Jayson Gallegos. “Being in Vegas for this camp with my dad is always a blessing. We locked in and ready to go. No distractions—just focus, hard rounds, and growth. Training alongside world-class fighters out here has only added to my confidence. I’m feeling sharper than ever. This camp has been all business.” In an era where activity is everything, Gallegos is grateful for the pace of his career. “A lot of young fighters sit on the shelf, but my promoters are keeping me moving and I’m super thankful. Fighting at least four times in a year…that’s old-school work and exactly what I wanted. It’s how I stay sharp, stay hungry, and keep getting better.” With his eyes on the future, Gallegos knows what’s at stake on September 19. “A win over a veteran like Mercado puts me right where I need to be. It shows I’m not just some prospect—I’m a problem in this division. After this, I want bigger fights, tougher opponents, and maybe a title shot by 2026. A win here kicks open more doors.” Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, expressed confidence in Gallegos’ potential and trajectory. “Kaipo’s growth has been impressive to watch—inside and outside the ring. He’s got the tools, the attitude, and the fan appeal to go a long way in this sport. If he takes care of business on September 19, the possibilities are endless. He’s earning every opportunity, and we’re proud to keep giving him the stage to shine. Kaipo’s a future star—no question.” Gallegos vs. Mercado is just one of the many exciting bouts slated for the Night of Champions event, known for delivering action-packed cards in a world-class setting.
