Hundreds of boxing fans, friends, and family of the new WBC lightweight world champion, William "El Camarón" Zepeda, gathered at Benito Juárez International Airport in Mexico City on Monday, August 3, to welcome him back after his extraordinary victory last Saturday in Las Vegas, Nevada, over American Lamont Roach Jr.
Residents of the community of San Mateo Atenco, in the State of Mexico, also came together to celebrate Zepeda's return.
This was the 136th victory for Mexican fighters against American fighters (141 wins overall), and Zepeda is the 20th Mexican lightweight champion, joining names such as Juan Zurita, Chango Carmona, Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jose Luis Ramirez, Rodolfo Gonzalez, Mauricio Aceves, Arturo Frias, Jose Luis Castillo, Cesar Bazán, and Juan Manuel Márquez, among others.
