Harvin Aguirre takes on Alfredo Mosquera at Crossroads in Panama on August 16
After the success of the late Alexis Arguello and Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez, Harvin Aguirre hopes to add his name to the list of all-time greats from Nicaragua.
Aguirre will face Alfredo Mosquera on August 16, Tuto Zabala, Jr. confirmed on The Ring on Tuesday morning. The 10-round bout will take place at the Coliseo de Combates in Panama City, Panama and will air live on ESPN Knockout (9 pm ET/ 6 pm PT).
The 24-year-old Aguirre (12-0, 9 knockouts) hails from Managua, Nicaragua and now lives and trains in Panama City.
“Harvin is an amazing prospect, who has fought in the ESPN Knockout (streams) twice, in Panama and Nicaragua,” Zabala told The Ring. “He is a great hope. We work together with (manager) Raul Cortizo Cohen and (promoter) Sergio Gonzalez.
“He has a tough test against the southpaw and the 'Metralleta' Mosquera, but a great battle between youth and experience. We are expecting a great fight and another great show.”
Aguirre (12-0, 9 knockouts) last fought Saturday, knocking out Brian Pava 36 seconds into the opening round in a clash between the undefeated prospects. In his previous fight on April 6, Aguirre stopped former Angel Rosa Martinez in the seventh round.
In recent fights, Aguirre has shown more power and aggression, stopping six of his last seven opponents.
August 16 will be Aguirre's fourth fight this year. Aguirre fought six times in 2023.
Mosquera (28-6-2, 16 KOs), who also lives in Panama City, has not fought since August 4 of last year, when he lost by knockout to Derrieck Cuevas. The fight was stopped in the 4th round after Cuevas suffered a stoppage injury.
The 37-year-old has wins over Erick Bone in October 2013 and Abel Mina in October 2021. Mosquera has losses to Sammy Vasquez and Rashidi Ellis.
