Dominican boxing update

Today (Saturday), the boxing scene in the Dominican Republic takes center stage at Club Mauricio Báez in Santo Domingo. Two headline bouts will showcase rising talent. In the featherweight main event, Jonathan Cabrera Sánchez (10-0, 8 KOs) will square off against fellow undefeated Juan Mendoza (7-0-1, 3 KOs). Cabrera, age 23, hails from San Juan de la Maguana and has earned a reputation as a fearsome puncher since turning pro in 2023, with recent victories over Maikol Beaumont and Luis Disla Arias. But Mendoza comes in as a live underdog — solid, technical, and hungry to make a name for himself by scoring the upset. The co-feature will be antother a battle of the unbeatens, this one in the light heavyweight division, as Sanderson Díaz (19-0, 14 KOs) takes on Luis Antonio Tejeda (10-0-1, 7 KOs). Díaz, with the edge in both experience and knockout power, enters as the favorite. But Tejeda has shown he’s no pushover, with recent wins over the likes of Richard Rivera and Francisco Ernesto Sánchez.
