\"\"Guantanamo.- A fight scheduled for July 17 at the Las Vegas Theater in Madrid will feature the next bout for Guant\u00e1namo-born boxer Arlen L\u00f3pez, who remains undefeated in four previous fights.<\/p>\n

The president of the Cuban Boxing Federation, Alberto Puig de la Barca, confirmed that the Cuban star will face Mexican Paul Valenzuela in a 10-round bout in the light heavyweight division.<\/p>\n

Valenzuela is a more experienced opponent in these circuits, having spent the last 13 years with a record of 28 wins (five by KO), 12 losses, and one draw.<\/p>\n

Arlen made his professional debut in 2022, but he is backed by a solid Olympic career, highlighted by gold medals in Rio de Janeiro (2016) and Tokyo (2020), as well as a bronze medal in Paris (2024), along with a world title in 2015.<\/p>\n

His last fight took place on July 11, 2011, at the Meli\u00e1 Internacional Hotel in Varadero, where he won the World Boxing Association’s Latin American continental belt.<\/p>\n

He defeated Argentina’s Mart\u00edn Ezequiel Bulacio 3-0 in 10 rounds in a fight that left him with an injury from which he has now fully recovered after not participating in the Playa Gir\u00f3n national tournament.<\/p>\n
