In the 10-round main event, power-punching undefeated WBA #5-ranked lightweight Armando Martinez Rabi (15-0, 14 KOs) will return to take on dangerous knockout puncher Albeiro Paredes (14-0, 12 KOs) of Sincelejo, Colombia in a bout that is sure to produce fireworks while it lasts. 

Tickets for “Fists of Fury 7” start at $98 and are available through Ticketmaster

In his most recent ring appearance last April, Martinez Rabi knocked out former two-time world title challenger Alberto Guevara in three brutal rounds to retain his WBC and WBA Continental Lightweight Championships. Originally from Havana, Cuba, Martinez Rabi has become a fan favorite in his adopted home of Miami. The 30-year-old is a former top international amateur for the esteemed Cuban National Team and has also competed in the World Series of Boxing and Team Combat League. Quick and agile, Martinez Rabi can stand right in front of his opponents and seldom get touched while firing world-class power shots of his own that have resulted in knockouts in 14 of his 15 professional wins, dating back to his debut in 2021. Martinez Rabi had his first nine fights in Dubai before relocating to the United States. He has also already held the WBC Latin Championship, which he won via TKO 3 over Argentina’s Damian Alejandro Rojas.

As an amateur, Albeiro Paredes was a member of the Colombian elite team and a national champion. The 28-year-old Paredes turned professional in July 2019 and has never fought outside his native Colombia. He won the Colombian National Championship with a fifth-round knockout over countryman Wallington Orobio in July 2023 and picked up the WBA Fedecaribe Super Featherweight Championship with a fourth-round knockout over Manuel Felipe Gonzalez in March 2023. He successfully defended his belts with a seventh-round technical knockout over Sammy Ramos in June 2024.

The night’s six-round co-featured bout will showcase undefeated Cuban super middleweight Ronny "El King" Alvarez (2-0, 2 KOs) taking on also undefeated Carlos Colon (1-0) of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico.
