Cuban fighters Erislandy Álvarez, Lázaro Álvarez, and Yusnier Sorsano will have their opponents officially confirmed for the upcoming World Boxing Association card scheduled for April 24 in Santiago de Chile.
Erislandy Álvarez (63.5 kg), the reigning Olympic champion from the Paris 2024 Games, will face Dominican Republic native José Núñez (17-0-2) in a bout that puts his Latin American continental belt on the line, as he looks to extend his professional winning streak to seven consecutive victories.
Lázaro Álvarez (61.3 kg), a three-time world amateur champion and Olympic bronze medalist, will put his undefeated professional record (10-0) on the line against Brazil's Jackson Furtado in a contest in which he will attempt to retain the American continental title for the fourth time.
Yusnier Sorsano (69.8 kg), for his part, will make the second defense of his Federlatin title against Argentina's Jonathan Wilson Sánchez (26-8-1), a seasoned veteran whose extensive professional experience will pose a considerable test.
Alberto Puig de la Barca, president of the Cuban Boxing Federation, noted that the event will represent a further opportunity for development under the promotional banner of Agon Sports, with whom additional future engagements are already being planned.
