Fringe lightweight champion Antonio Moran has re-signed a promotional deal with All Star Boxing, promoter Tuto Zabala, Jr. announced.
“Toño has become a member of the All Star Boxing family after many years of working together,” said Zabala. “I'm happy to continue this relationship with such a good kid, who over the years, has proven his legitimacy as a competitor.”
Moran, who lives in Mexico City, appreciates the opportunity.
“All Star Boxing has always brought me the best fights,” said Moran. “On August 3, we will be back again to face the best, which is what I want.”
Moran was referring to his clash with Olympic gold medalist and undefeated top seed Andy Cruz. They will face off in a 10-round fight at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, as part of the Riyadh Season card headlined by Ring welterweight champion Terence Crawford challenging newly crowned WBA champion Israel Madrimov.
The 31-year-old Moran (30-6-1, 21 knockouts) last fought on January 31st, knocking out hard-hitting Romero Duno in the sixth round of a fight he managed. In his previous fight on September 15, Moran lost to Jamaine Ortiz by unanimous decision.
Moran recently participated in an eight-man ProBox TV Last Chance tournament, defeating Jeffrey Torres, Michael Dutchover, and Kendo Castaneda. Moran edged out Castaneda in the finals to win the $50,000 prize.
Moran was a fixture on the Boxeo Telemundo series for several years, fighting at the Auditorio Blackberry in Mexico City or Kissimmee, Florida, both of which were cities where All Star Boxing promoted most of their fight cards.
Besides the loss to Ortiz, Moran has losses to Devin Haney, Jose Pedraza and Arnold Barboza.
