Sampson Boxing and Eric Ibarra's TM Boxing announced the signing of junior welterweight José Ángel Guerrero to a co-promotional agreement. The deal paves the way for the heavy-handed Guerrero (11-0, 9 KOs), from Tijuana, to make more appearances on global boxing platform ProBoxTV in the coming months. Guerrero, age 21, has never fought outside his native country but made his ProBoxTV debut earlier this month with a thudding second-round demolition of then undefeated Jose Andres Baca Guzman. The victory caught the attention of Lewkowicz and ProBoxTV CEO Garry Jonas, prompting this promotional development.
“First and foremost, I am grateful to Mr. Sampson Lewkowicz and Mr. Garry Jonas for this tremendous opportunity to showcase my talents on one of the most prominent platforms in the boxing world: ProBoxTV,” said a happy Guerrero. “My thanks also go to Eric Ibarra and my trainer, who have stood by my side since the beginning of my career.”
Ibarra, who has promotionally partnered with Lewkowicz on several fighters, says the deal further strengthens the positive relationship between the three parties in bringing new Mexican prospects to the forefront. “I am very pleased to continue fostering this friendship and collaboration with Sampson Lewkowicz,” said Ibarra. “Just as we have done with Erik Badillo and Isaac “Puro México” Lucero, we will now be guiding the career of José Ángel Guerrero together, aiming to elevate his profile internationally. It is important to mention that Garry Jonas of PROBOX TV recently joined this great team. He played a pivotal role in finalizing this agreement and the same will hold true for our future Mexican prospects.”
“I was very impressed by José Ángel Guerrero’s performance on ProBoxTV and look forward to helping him develop his promising career, along with my two great partners, Eric Ibarra and Garry Jonas,” said Sampson Lewkowicz. “Jose represents another hard-punching young fighter who will become a force in the super lightweight division before long.”
“Sampson and TM Boxing are doing a great job recruiting and cultivating talent for ProBoxTV,” said Garry Jonas. “We look forward to having Guerrero perform on our platform.”
