Roberto Gomez Training Camp Notes PhilBoxing.com Tue, 17 Mar 2026  Rising Featherweight Aims to Stay Unbeaten Against Veteran Belmar Preciado in Orlando ORLANDO, FL (March 17, 2026) – Boxlab Promotions undefeated featherweight prospect Roberto Gomez (8-0, 3 KOs) is encountering another step-up fight in his young career as he prepares to face hard-hitting veteran Belmar Preciado (23-10-1, 16 KOs) in a scheduled six-round bout on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando. The action-packed event is promoted by Matchroom Boxing in association with Boxlab Promotions and will stream live worldwide on DAZN. Gomez, regarded as one of Florida’s rising featherweight prospects, has been deep in training camp preparing to showcase his continued growth against the experienced Preciado. Training alongside his head trainer Salvador Jaurequi, Gomez says the intensity and discipline in camp has him feeling more prepared than ever. Gomez on His Training Camp with Childhood Trainer Salvador Jaurequi Working closely with longtime trainer Salvador Jaurequi, who has been in Gomez’ corner since he was 12-years old, has allowed him to sharpen both his physical conditioning and mental preparation heading into the fight. “Training with coach Salvador Jaurequi is special because he knows me better than anyone,” said Gomez. “He pushes me hard every day and never lets me take shortcuts. This camp has been one of my best because we focused on sharpening my fundamentals, my conditioning, and my mindset. I’m hungry to prove I belong in this sport, and every day in the gym we’re working like there’s a world title on the line. We study opponents, we work on strategy, and we make sure I’m improving every fight. I’m still learning, but I’m getting better every time I step into the ring.” Gomez on His Matchup with Belmar Preciado Facing a seasoned veteran like Preciado represents the toughest test of Gomez’s young career, but the undefeated prospect sees it as the perfect opportunity to show his evolution as a fighter. “Preciado is a tough fighter with a lot of experience and knockouts, so I know he’s coming to fight,” Gomez said. “But I asked for challenges like this because I want to prove that I’m ready for the next level. I respect what he’s done in the sport, but on fight night I’m coming to make a statement. This is the type of fight where people will see what I’m capable of. I’m going to bring pressure, speed, and heart. I’m stepping in the ring to show that I’m a serious contender in the featherweight division.” Gomez on What a Win Would Mean for His Career With momentum building in his undefeated career, Gomez views this fight as a pivotal moment that could elevate him to the next stage of his development. “A win here means everything for my career,” Gomez explained. “Every fighter dreams about climbing the ranks and getting closer to bigger opportunities. I’m still early in my journey, but this fight is a chance to show that I’m ready for tougher competition. I’m fighting with something to prove. I want people to start recognizing my name and understanding that I’m coming to make noise in this division. Every victory moves me one step closer to the bigger fights I’ve been working toward.” Gomez on Fighting at Home on DAZN Fighting in Orlando on a globally streamed card adds extra motivation for Gomez, who is eager to perform in front of home state supporters and an international audience. “Fighting in Orlando means a lot to me because this is where I’ve built my career and where so many people have supported me,” Gomez concluded. “To have the opportunity to fight on DAZN in front of fans here at home is a blessing. I want to give the fans something exciting. When people tune in, I want them to see a fighter who’s hungry, who’s determined, and who’s ready to leave everything in the ring.” Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, believes Gomez is developing into one of the promotion’s most promising young fighters. “Roberto Gomez is a fighter we’re very excited about,” said Piedra. “From the first time we saw him, we knew he had something special. His work ethic, his discipline, and his willingness to challenge himself have helped him grow tremendously. He continues to improve every time he steps into the ring, and that’s exactly what you want to see from a young prospect. With the right fights and continued dedication, we believe Roberto has a very bright future ahead of him.” With an undefeated record, growing confidence, and a major platform on fight night, Roberto Gomez is determined to seize the moment and deliver the type of performance that could propel him toward bigger opportunities in the featherweight division.
