Fairfield standout Alan Sanchez will have his hands full with veteran contender Ed “The Lion” Parades when the two square off in a 10-round welterweight bout on Thursday, December 4 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds – Bing Crosby Hall and live on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes’ Golden Boy Live!
In the 10-round junior featherweight co-main event, Sanchez’ fellow Fairfield contender Manuel “Tino” Avila will be facing Jose Luis Araiza.
Also in action will be San Diego prospects Ulises Sierra (7-0, 2 KOs), Jorge Ruiz (6-2, 2 KOs) and Bryan Nevarez (1-0). National City native Adrian Bargas (11-0-1, 7 KOs) and Jonathan Quiroz (5-2, 1 KO) from Oceanside round out the local quintet of talented up-and-comers who own a combined 30-4-1 professional record as they enter their December bouts.
“December fourth will be a great night of boxing in Del Mar with a main event featuring two skilled fighters – Sanchez and Parades – who both have a lot on the line,” said Oscar De La Hoya, Founder and President of Golden Boy Promotions. “In the co-main event, Tino Avila stands at an exciting point in his career — when each successive victory could bring him closer and closer to a potential title shot. But with each step comes more dangerous challenges for him and by going up against a seasoned opponent who has stood in the ring and ably competed with the very best, Tino will need to dig deep to keep marching ahead.”
