Marco Verde, a promising boxer and Paris 2024 Olympic medalist, is gearing up for his fourth professional fight this Saturday. Set against Raphael Igbokwe at the Centro de Usos Multiples in Mazatlan, the event is more than just a match; it represents Verde's opportunity to advance his career and possibly become the next big name in boxing, following in the footsteps of Canelo Alvarez.
Eddy Reynoso, renowned manager and trainer working alongside Radames Hernandez, stands by Verde's side as he prepares for this crucial encounter. Throughout their year-long collaboration, Reynoso has observed signs of greatness in Verde. Speaking with confidence about his protégé, he expressed,
"I want to make Marco a champion, a star. He has all the qualities to be a star in boxing and therefore you should be proud to see him here in Mazatlan."
Raphael Igbokwe enters the ring with an impressive record of 17 wins under his belt, including 7 knockouts. Despite facing 6 defeats along the way, Igbokwe remains a formidable opponent eager to demonstrate his skills. Amid the pre-fight excitement, Igbokwe shared his enthusiasm:
"We're going to have a great fight this Saturday. I'm very happy that the whole team is here. Nothing is missing."
The preparation took place at Las Vegas training camp where Marco had fellow family member Manuel Verde by his side for support. The development under Reynoso’s guidance has ignited plenty of enthusiasm among fans and Team Green members alike.
With plans to fight across different states next year and potential extensions from current six-round bouts up to ten rounds over time, Eddy and Marco are readying themselves for bigger challenges ahead. As Reynoso aptly put it earlier on during their partnership journey together:
"A new star is going to be born here."
