The spotlight is set on undefeated Welterweight sensation, Gor Yeritsyan (16-0, 14 KOs) from Yerevan, Armenia, as he prepares to go toe-to-toe with Luis Alberto ‘Lucho’ Veron (20-7-2, 9 KOs) from Buenos Aires, Argentina. This eight-round fight will be a thrilling prelude to the ‘King’ Callum Walsh vs. Ismael Villarreal title fight. Boxing aficionados can catch the action live on Thursday, November 9, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, with global broadcasting on UFC FIGHT PASS.
The event is masterminded by Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions. Fans keen on witnessing the action in person can secure their seats online at www.msg.com, at Madison Square Garden’s ticket booth, or through Ticketmaster outlets. Prices range from $35 to $205, with special seating provisions available for differently-abled attendees.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Tom Loeffler said, “Gor’s entry into this iconic boxing showcase is exhilarating. Under the astute guidance of legendary trainer Freddie Roach, Gor’s potential is sky-high. Madison Square Garden, coupled with the passionate New York boxing community, is the perfect stage for him. We’re confident that his bout with Veron will continue his streak of remarkable knockout wins.”
Echoing these sentiments, Gor Yeritsyan stated, “I’m raring to fight in Madison Square Garden, the boxing world’s crown jewel. My opponent, brought in by 360 Promotions, is seasoned and has sparred with the best. My preparations at the Wild Card Boxing Gym have been intense, and I’m eager to give New York’s vibrant Armenian community and UFC FIGHT PASS viewers a performance to remember.”
Freddie Roach, adding a historical perspective, emphasized, “Madison Square Garden isn’t merely ‘special’ – it’s legendary. Icons like Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, and Katie Taylor have graced this arena. The dream of every boxer is to follow in these legends’ footsteps. Gor recognizes the gravitas of this opportunity, and I believe he will make a lasting mark.”
2023 has been a standout year for Gor Yeritsyan, registering two emphatic second-round KOs. He took down title contender Gustavo David Vittori in June and followed it up with a sensational win over Rogelio Jun Dolinguez in August, both to the roar of fans at Commerce Casino.
On the other side, Luis Alberto Veron isn’t a stranger to New York’s boxing circuit. His gripping bout against contender Brian Ceballo in April 2023 turned many heads. His rich eight-year professional journey includes bouts against top-contender names like Alexis Rocha and Michael McKinson.
The November 9 gala has more in store. An eight-round light heavyweight bout features Undefeated Umar Dzambekov (7-0, 5 KOs) clashing with Frederic ‘The French Revolution’ Julan (13-2, 10 KOs). The lightweight division sees Cain Sandoval (10-0, 10 KOs) going up against Wesley ‘El Bongocero’ Ferrer (17-1-1, 8 KOs) in an eight-rounder.
Stay tuned, as more exhilarating fights for the event will be unveiled soon.
Prediction: Yeritsyan’s impeccable record and Veron’s experience promise a showdown filled with strategy and skill. While Yeritsyan’s training with Freddie Roach might give him the upper hand, Veron’s experience against top contenders can’t be overlooked. Yeritsyan via late KO.
