Undefeated Jose Tito Sanchez Returns to Face Jesus Ramirez Rubio in Super Bantamweight Main Event on Friday PhilBoxing.com Thu, 18 Dec 2025  ‘LA Friday Night Fights’ Returns In 2026 Live on DAZN From Thunder Studios in Long Beach, CA LONG BEACH, CA – December 15, 2025 – On Friday, January 23, 2026, Paco Presents, Golden Boy Promotions and Robert Garcia Boxing Academy will bring in the new year with the third installment of the “LA Friday Night Fights” professional boxing series from Thunder Studios in Long Beach, CA, and streamed live on global sports giant DAZN (11:00 pm ET/8:00 pm PT). In the 10-round super bantamweight main event, Cathedral City, California’s undefeated Jose Tito Sanchez (14-0, 8 KOs) will face Jesus “Eduardo” Ramirez Rubio (23-4-3, 17 KOs) of Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico. Tickets for “LA Friday Night Fights” are available at rgbapro.com. 26-year-old Jose Tito Sanchez started boxing at age seven and quickly found a home. From a fighting family, Sanchez’s grandfather is a former fighter and his younger brother, Leonardo 'Leo' Sánchez, is an undefeated super featherweight. A virtual punching machine in the ring, Sanchez’s style has been compared to the great Mexican Julio Cesar Chavez because of his old-school mannerisms and sustained focus on attacking his opponent’s body. After turning pro in 2018, Sanchez won the WBC Latino Continental Championship by stopping Carlos Caraballo in three rounds in July 2023 and made two successful defenses, a unanimous decision over Walter Santibanes in which he threw more than 1,000 Punches over 10 rounds in December 2023 and a unanimous 10-round decision over Erik Ruiz in April 2024. In this fight, Sanchez will be returning from 14 months of inactivity due to injury. “First, I want to say that I am thankful to Golden Boy and Paco Damian for giving me the opportunity to be the headliner on this big card on January 23,” said Sanchez. “I’m also thankful for the people that surround me with support and believe in my talent inside the ring. I can’t wait to shine and give the people fireworks on January 23!” A heavy-handed contender on the fringe who is still looking for a signature victory, 29-year-old Jesus Ramirez Rubio’s boxing alias is 'KO-Reano', Korean in Spanish. From Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, Ramirez Rubio turned pro in early 2016 and lost just one of his first 25 fights. Ramirez Rubio is best known for one of his losses, a heartbreaking KO 9 in April 2024 to top-ranked Ramon Cardenas for the WBA Continental North America Super Bantamweight Title. Ramirez Rubio fought evenly with Cardenas for all nine rounds before running into a body shot he could not recover from in time. At the time of the stoppage, the scores of the bout were even at 77-75, 75-77 and 76-76. Rubio spars with former world champion Miguel Berchelt, as well as former WBC Continental Americas featherweight champ, Bryan Acosta. He was last seen in the ring in November of this year, stopping countryman Carlos Daniel Valenzuela Pacheco in five rounds. “This is a different version of me,” said Ramirez Rubio. “I just became a father and I am coming for everything. I am excited about this opportunity and want to thank Paco Presents and Golden Boy, my manager, Hector Fernandez, as well as my team at ProBox TV for getting me this fight. I will come out victorious.” “As always, I thank my partners Golden Boy and Robert Garcia Boxing Academy as well as the people at DAZN and Thunder Studios,” said Paco Damian. “This is a solid main event between a hungry unbeaten prospect and a proven contender waiting for his breakthrough performance. There will be a lot on the line on fight night.” “We’re excited to partner with Paco Presents on this developmental fight showcasing the hard-hitting Tito Sanchez,” said Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions Oscar De La Hoya. “The undefeated Sanchez embodies the grit and toughness of the Coachella Valley, and he’s determined to keep his knockout streak alive.” The co-featured bout and a full undercard of local and international favorites will be announced shortly. On fight night, doors open at 7:00 pm PT and the fights start at 8:00 pm PT. Thunder Studios is located at 20434 S Santa Fe Ave., in Long Beach.
