Belizean boxing champion Amir Rudon is poised to make history this Saturday as he steps into the ring to face Mexican contender Carlos Elvira for the WBC FECARBOX Silver Super Lightweight title. The highly anticipated bout will take place at Swift Hall in Belize City, marking a significant milestone for Rudon and Belizean boxing. Rudon, currently the national champion, expressed his determination to secure the regional title, which he believes will open doors for both himself and future Belizean boxers. “I’ve been training really hard… I’m a hundred per cent ready,” Rudon confidently stated. His journey from training under a tree with minimal equipment to founding Alpha Boxing Club, where he mentors young fighters, underscores his dedication to the sport and his community. The event will also showcase amateur bouts, including Ladyville resident Akil Flowers, whose mother praised boxing for transforming her son’s life. Erin Sosa Montero, the only female amateur boxer competing that night, continues her family’s boxing legacy while balancing her education and rigorous training schedule. The fight night not only highlights the growing prominence of Belizean boxing but also serves as a platform to inspire youth and steer them away from gang violence.
