Marco Verde, silver medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, will fight his third professional fight on September 13 on the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford card in Las Vegas.
Verde already has two victories in his nascent professional career: he debuted with a knockout in Saudi Arabia and later won by unanimous decision in Culiacan. Now, he will look to maintain his undefeated record in a historic event, with his bout scheduled for six rounds in the super middleweight division.
Track record and achievements
He won the silver medal in Paris 2024 in the 71 kg (welterweight) category, the first Olympic boxing medal for Mexico since 1984.
Earlier, in 2023, Marco Verde won gold at the Pan American Games in Santiago and the Central American Games in San Salvador.
The son of former Olympic boxer Manuel Verde, a competitor in Barcelona 1992, Marco has a strong pugilistic heritage.
He decided to turn professional shortly after the Games, under the representation of Eddy Reynoso’s team, the same one that manages Canelo Alvarez.
