Hendri Cedeno Seeks Monumental Victory Against Alfredo Santiago for NABO Title January 10 at Barclays Center

PhilBoxing.com




BROOKLYN, NY (January 5, 2026) — Hendri “La Bazuca” Cedeno (16-0, 12 KOs), the undefeated power-punching boxer-puncher from La Romana, Dominican Republic, now proudly representing Reading, PA, is set to take the biggest step of his career. He’ll step into the ring against fellow Dominican talent Alfredo Santiago (17-2, 8 KOs), who now fights out of Puerto Rico, in a highly anticipated 10-round super lightweight bout. The action takes place on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at the iconic Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and will stream live on PPV.com.

Promoted by Fresh Productions, this exciting bout will feature the NABO Super Lightweight title on the line, bringing the winner one step closer to a shot at the world championship.

Cedeno, currently ranked WBO #10, who is co-promoted by Boxlab Promotions and Kings Promotions, enters this bout with a perfect record and a reputation for explosive knockouts and relentless pressure. For the 27-year-old Dominican rising star, this is more than just a title opportunity — it’s a chance to make a statement on the international stage.

“This is the kind of fight I’ve been dreaming about since I first put on gloves,” Cedeno said with determination on the biggest fight of his career. “Fighting at the Barclays Center, with two belts on the line, against a proven fighter like Santiago — it doesn’t get bigger than this. I’ve worked too hard and come too far to let this moment slip by. I’m ready to give everything I have and show the world who Hendri Cedeno really is.”

Cedeno gives his thoughts on facing an experienced opponent like Alfredo Santiago. “I have a lot of respect for Santiago. He’s a strong fighter who’s shared the ring with elite competition, but I believe in my preparation and in my team,” Cedeno stated. “I know what’s at stake, and I know what I bring to the ring. I’m coming to win — no excuses.”

“This fight isn’t just for me, it’s for La Romana, it’s for the Dominican Republic, it’s for Reading, and for everyone who’s believed in me,” Cedeno shared emotionally on representing his roots and fighting under the bright lights. “I carry their pride into the ring with me. Being undefeated means something, but more important is proving I belong with the best in the world — and this fight is my opportunity to do that.”

Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, is confident Cedeno is ready to take his place among the sport’s top contenders. “Hendri Cedeno is one of the most promising fighters to come out of the Dominican Republic in recent years,” said Amaury Piedra on Cedeno’s potential and the opportunity ahead. “He’s disciplined, explosive, and carries himself like a champion. This fight is a golden opportunity for him to elevate his name on the world stage. With two WBO titles on the line, a strong performance puts him right in the mix at the top of the division. We believe in him — and the fans will too, once they see what he can do.”

With high stakes and high action guaranteed, Cedeno vs. Santiago promises to be a must-see clash between two hungry fighters with world title aspirations. Don’t miss it on January 10, 2026, from Barclays Center in Brooklyn — where one man’s dreams move a step closer to reality.
