Lester Martinez and former IBO super middleweight champion Carlos Gongora will step into the ring at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington D.C. on Friday. The fight will be part of a ProBox TV event that will take place in the capital city and where Lamont Roach Jr. will defend his super featherweight world belt against Feargal McCrory.  From Guatemala, Martinez, age 28, is undefeated in his career and is coming off a win over Ruben Angelo. Prior to that, he rang up a second-round knockout of Ruben Angulo on February 23rd in Guatemala and will now return to the United States. Gongora is a powerful fighter who has shown quality throughout his career. The 35 year-old Ecuadorian knocked out Jhon Teheran in Colombia in September last year and is experienced enough for this type of fight, having beaten the favored Ali Akhmendov to capture the IBO title in 2020. Martinez has a record of 17 wins, no losses and 15 knockouts, while Gongora has 22 wins, 2 losses and 17 knockouts.
