"I want the tough fights, the big nights, and the real respect. This is where that road begins"

ORLANDO, FL (October 13, 2025) – Undefeated super welterweight prospect, Pedro Veitia (6-0, 6 KOs) will return to the ring in a battle of unbeatens as he takes on Xavier Ceron (4-0, 3 KOs) of Aguascalientes, Mexico, in a scheduled six-round bout on October 18, 2025, at the South Padre Island Convention Center. The matchup will air live on DAZN as part of Most Valuable Promotions’ “Most Valuable Prospects 16” card.

With both fighters putting their undefeated records on the line, the stakes are high, and the outcome could have major implications for the future of the 154-pound division.

Veitia, who is co-promoted with Boxlab Promotions, Warriors Boxing, and Dreambigg Promotions, has been deep in preparation for what he sees as one of the most important tests of his career, and the Cuban puncher is leaving no stone unturned in training camp. Surrounded by a focused team and fueled by a hunger to break into the global spotlight, Veita has put extra emphasis on conditioning, timing, and versatility. “This camp has been all about pushing limits—mentally and physically,” said Veitia. “We’ve worked on being sharper, smarter, and more composed in the ring. I know what I’m capable of, but this fight is about showing it under pressure.”

In Xavier Ceron, Veitia faces an equally motivated opponent with knockout power and something to prove. The matchup is as much about talent as it is about who can handle the pressure of the moment. “I respect any fighter who’s undefeated—that means they’ve found a way to win every time, just like I have,” Veitia continued. “But the difference on October 18 will be experience, preparation, and mindset. I’ve faced tough competition both in the amateurs and the pros, and I’m ready to rise above once again.”

While Ceron brings danger, Veitia believes his own toolbox—technical ability, power, and fight IQ—will carry him to victory. “Fights like this are where you separate contenders from pretenders,” he added. “And I plan to prove I’m the real deal.”

With the fight airing live on DAZN and backed by MVP’s nationally televised platform, Veitia sees the opportunity as a launching pad to broader recognition. “It’s a blessing to be showcased on DAZN, where fans across the world can see what I bring to the table,” concluded Veita. “I’ve dreamed of nights like this. Now it’s about performing under the lights and making sure they remember my name, especially against another unbeaten fighter. A win here does more than keep my record clean—it moves me one step closer to title contention. I want the tough fights, the big nights, and the real respect. This is where that road begins.”

Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, acknowledged the high-risk nature of the bout for Veitia—but also praised the young fighter’s self-belief and undeniable talent. “Taking on another undefeated fighter like Ceron at this stage is a real risk, and Pedro knows that,” said Piedra. “But that’s what makes him special—he embraces challenges because he believes in his ability to overcome them. His confidence isn’t arrogance...it’s backed by an incredible work ethic and natural ability. This fight could steal the show, and I believe Pedro is ready to shine.”

The Most Valuable Prospects series, produced by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), continues to provide a national spotlight for boxing’s top young talent. The October 18 event in South Padre Island features a stacked card of undefeated fighters looking to climb the ranks, with Pedro Veitia vs. Xavier Ceron standing out as one of the most intriguing matchups of the night.
