Undefeated American prospect Carlos González (14-0, 13 KOs) is gearing up for his first title protection, as he places his WBA NABA featherweight belt on the road towards Nicaragua’s Alexander Espinoza on February 15 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
González, ranked No. 11 by the WBA within the featherweight division, has been on a tear since turning professional in 2022. His rise has been nothing wanting meteoric, culminating final 12 months in a statement-making knockout victory over Duke Micah to assert the WBA NABA title.
Espinoza (23-6-2) brings expertise and sturdiness to the ring, having logged over 180 skilled rounds. After struggling three consecutive losses—two of them stoppages attributable to a watch harm and a head reduce—the Nicaraguan has bounced again with back-to-back wins.
With González’s knockout energy and Espinoza’s battle-tested toughness, anticipate fireworks when these two step between the ropes in Connecticut.
