Reyes Fire Fist Boxing Promotions and Conlan Boxing announced plans to co-promote three shows in Ireland. Additional information including venue and fight dates will be announced shortly. The first show is planned to feature a ten-round super middleweight bout between Yamaguchi “The Problem” Falcao and Padraig “The Hammer” McCrory.
Born and raised in Brazil but now residing in Florida, Falcao is 24-1-1 with 10 KOs. A 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, Falcao scored a seventh-round stoppage over Ernest Amuzu last time out.
Fighting out of Belfast, Northern Ireland, McCrory is 16-0 with 9 KOs. He had a breakout 2022, stopping Marco Antonio Periban (26-5-1) in five rounds, Leon Bunn (18-0) in six and defeating Dmytro Fedas (8-0-2) by decision.
Middleweight Connor “The Kid” Coyle (18-0 with 8 KOs) is scheduled for the show as well, in what will be his first fight in Ireland in six years. Coyle still has no opponent at the moment.
“This is a great partnership. Both of our stables can grow in Ireland and the US, said Jamie Conlan of Conlan Boxing, “There are excellent benefits to working together with Reyes Fire Fist Boxing.”
“We are really excited to be working with Jamie Conlan and Conlan Boxing,” said Jody Caliguire of Reyes Fire Fist Boxing. “Our vision aligned well and there’s a lot of opportunities for both our fighters. We promote Yama and Conlan is the promoter for McCrory. Both guys want to fight for a world title but have been passed over, so matching these two hungry fighters was a natural fit. Big things are on the horizon and we’ll have updates in the near future.”
