Featherweight Luis Nuñez (21-0, 14 KOs) is putting the finishing touches on training camp as he prepares to return to the ring on Saturday, December 6th at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. Nuñez will face off against Argentina's Héctor Sosa in a scheduled ten-round bout that kicks off the PBC on Prime Video telecast, beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET / 2:30 p.m. PT. Fresh off an intense camp in Las Vegas with trainer Bob Santos, the 26 year-old Dominican standout is eager to deliver a breakout performance in front of a global audience.
On his recent training camp in Las Vegas, Nuñez stated, “Training in Las Vegas with coach Bob Santos has taken me to a different level. The atmosphere, the sparring, the discipline, it was a very hard training camp. Every day, we push to be sharper, smarter, and stronger. Being around world-class fighters motivates me to give everything I’ve got. I’m more focused than ever and fans are going to see that in the ring.”
Nuñez made it clear he’s not underestimating the challenge posed by his opponent. “Sosa is tough and experienced, and he’s coming to win. I respect that. But I’ve trained too hard and sacrificed too much to let this moment slip away. This is my time to prove that I belong at the top of the division, and worthy of a world title opportunity.”
As he gets ready to perform on PBC on Prime Video, Nuñez expressed his excitement for the global platform, “It’s a blessing to fight on such a big stage like Amazon Prime Video. Millions of people will be watching around the world, and I’m going to give them a show. This is what I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid, fighting on TV, representing my country, and making my name known. I want fans to remember the name Luis Nuñez after this fight.”
Nuñez was clear about the stakes on what a win would mean for his career, “A win here puts me in a great position to fight for a title or a big-name opponent. This is the kind of fight that opens doors. I’m undefeated for a reason, and I plan to show the world that I’m a problem for anyone at 126 pounds.
