Pitbull Cruz and Camarón Zepeda Already Have Big Challenges for 2027
Mexican boxing is preparing to experience great emotions in 2027. Pugilists Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and William “Camarón” Zepeda already know the landscape of their next world championship commitments, following the decisions made during the 64th Annual Convention of the World Boxing Council (WBC), held in Acapulco.
On one hand, “Camarón” Zepeda will have an important test when he faces Cuba’s Jadier Herrera, who holds an undefeated record of 18 victories, 16 of them by knockout. The fight is scheduled for March 13, 2027, on Mexican soil, where William will seek to defend his lightweight world championship for the first time.
Meanwhile, Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz will face Britain’s Dalton Smith, the current WBC super lightweight world champion, in a showdown that represents an opportunity to once again conquer an absolute championship. The Mexican will seek to impose his power and demonstrate that he is ready to become the top reference in the 140-pound division.
Two Mexican representatives, two high-caliber challenges, and the same objective: to keep Mexico at the top of world boxing. 2027 promises great nights for national boxing!
