Jimuel Pacquiao Set to Square Off Against Chicago’s Brendan Lally in His Long-Awaited Professional Debut

Lorenzo Parra to Face Elijah Pierce in a WBO International Featherweight Title in the Main Event

LOS ANGELES — Boxing icon and International Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao today announced the complete fight card for the U.S. debut of Manny Pacquiao Promotions (MPP) set for Saturday, November 29, at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif. The inaugural event will be presented alongside MPP with Pechanga Resort Casino, Ringside Ticket Inc., Limitless Entertainment Group, DMG Boxing, and OTX.

Previously announced, the evening’s main event features a clash between two knockout artists, as Venezuela’s Lorenzo Parra (23-1-1, 17 KOs) takes on Oklahoma City’s Elijah Pierce (21-2, 17 KOs) in a 12-round WBO International Featherweight title bout. The winner will become one step closer to face reigning WBO Featherweight Champion Rafael Espinoza. This high-stakes showdown promises to deliver fireworks.

In a co-main event marking a new beginning for the legendary Pacquiao name, Manny Pacquiao’s eldest son, Jimuel Pacquiao, will start his professional boxing campaign when he takes on Brendan Lally. Following a successful three-year amateur career, 24-year-old Jimuel trains out of the esteemed Wild Card Boxing Gym under the guidance of Marvin Somodio. Jimuel’s unmissable professional debut comes at an exciting time for his family, as he and his fiancé await the arrival of their first child — who will also be Manny Pacquiao’s first grandchild — later this year. Jimuel, the son of one of the most notable pillars in boxing, is prepared to create his own legacy while proudly ushering the Pacquiao name into a new generation on Saturday, November 29.

Standing between Jimuel and his storybook beginning to his career is Chicago’s Brendan Lally. Like his opposition, November 29 will be Lally’s professional debut. While in college, Lally discovered boxing and quickly shifted his entire focus to the sport, winning a collegiate national championship. In a matchup destined to be remembered for years, Lally is ready to seize the opportunity to take on one of boxing’s most legendary family names.

Also featured on the action-packed main card will be the return of battle-tested veteran Luis Arias (22-5, 11 KOs), taking on San Diego’s undefeated Lazaro Lorenzana (17-0, 12 KOs). With a career spanning over a decade, Arias is the former IBF USBA Middleweight champion, a title he spectacularly defended twice. MPP’s U.S. debut marks the second undefeated prospect Arias will take on this year, as his last outing was a competitive contest against the surging Eric Priest. Arias now aims to utilize his experience to get back in the win column.

In his first fight in the U.S., former WBC Silver Middleweight champion Lorenzana prepares for the stiffest test of his career against the grizzled Arias. Lorenzana enters this bout on the strength of two straight knockout victories in 2025. Born and raised in San Diego, Lorenzana travels back and forth between Tijuana to train as he gears up for his homecoming fight next month.

Also slated for his first bout in the U.S., Mexico’s Jose Russell Regalado (16-1, 10 KOs) returns to action against Saleto Henderson (9-4). Starting his career with a blistering five straight knockouts, Regalado is coming off the first defeat of his career, a closely contested split decision loss to Kevin Cuevas Arenas earlier this year. Regalado, 23, is now set to make a statement in his stateside debut. Additionally, Mexico’s knockout artist Rogelio Romero (4-0, 4 KOs), who is on the strength of three straight knockouts in 2025, will compete against an opponent to be announced in the coming days.

In a show spotlighting tomorrow’s champions, 21-year-old Terry Washington (5-0, 5 KOs) is set for a light flyweight tilt against Peru’s Ricardo Astuvilca (23-4, 5 KOs). Boasting a 100% knockout rate, San Bernardino, Calif.’s Washington made his professional debut last year. Now, “Terrible” Terry has established himself as one of the most dangerous contenders in the light flyweight division as he prepares to face Astuvilca, a seasoned veteran 15 years his senior.

Hailing from Hollywood, Alexis Alvarado (8-1-1, 5 KOs), who has not suffered a defeat since 2021. squares off against Philippines’ Garen Diagan (10-7-1, 5 KOs) in a super flyweight brawl.

The preliminary portion of the event features numerous exciting matchups between budding prospects, including a super featherweight bout between Las Vegas’ undefeated Rodrigo Mosquera III (3-0, 2 KOs) and Temecula, Calif. native Bryan Domingo (0-3-1). In a super featherweight contest, Corona, Calif.’s Michael Bracamontes (13-2-1, 6 KOs) squares off against Lynwood, Calif.’s William King (6-2-2, 3 KOs). Hailing from Hollywood, Alexis Alvarado (8-1-1, 5 KOs), who has not suffered a defeat since 2021. squares off against Philippines’ Garen Diagan (10-7-1, 5 KOs). In addition, Sheboygan, Wis.’s Javier Zamarron (10-0, 5 KOs) faces off against Alejandro Meniano (7-0, 4 KOs) in a showdown between two undefeated featherweights. In a Southern California clash, Whittier, Calif.’s Josias Gonzalez (2-5) meets Inglewood, Calif. native and Los Angeles Police Department Officer Eduardo Diaz (9-4, 3 KOs). Surging Southern California lightweight Chelsey Anderson (8-0, 3 KOs) and Compton, Calif. based Adil Gadzhiev (3-1,1 KO) return to the ring, both with opponents to be announced in the coming days.

“I would like to thank the Pechanga Band of Indians and Patrick Ortiz of Ringside Ticket Inc. for the opportunity to help bring Manny Pacquiao Promotions to the U.S.,” said Lead Matchmaker Brendan Gibbons. “Saturday, November 29’s star-studded card will showcase multiple can’t-miss matchups featuring budding prospects and seasoned veterans.”
