Sampson Boxing announced the signing of power-punching Cuban super featherweight Pablo “The Cuban Menace” Vicente to an exclusive promotional contract. Vicente, currently residing in Panama City, but originally hailing from Havana, Cuba, is a former member of the vaunted Cuban National Team. Vicente (17-1, 15 KOs) turned professional in 2016 and has gone on to stop all but three of his professional opponents.  The 28 year-old will fight next on Friday, October 29th at the Centro de Convenciones Vasco Nunez de Balboa, Bella Vista, in his adopted home of Panama City. He'll be in a ten-round showdown against Argentina’s Javier Herrera (17-4-1, 8 KOs). 

 

“I am very happy to have gained a promoter who can properly move my career in Sampson,” said Vicente. “Our plan is to begin fighting in the US and start climbing up the ladder to a world championship. I am going to train like never before because I know I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to reach all my dreams as a fighter.”

 

Lewkowicz, boxing’s premier talent scout, says Vicente will make a great addition to his ever-growing stable of contenders, prospects and champions. “The Cuban Menace will be a world champion,” said Lewkowicz. “He is a very strong fighter with excellent power in his combinations and the skill level you would expect from an elite fighter. We will continue his development and move him into the fights he needs to become another great champion from the Island of Cuba.”
