Zanfrer and the IBA will present a May 21st boxing event in Mexico City at Arena CDMX. Headlining the card in the super flyweight division, Mexico’s Angel Ayala Lardizabal (18-1, 8 KOs), known as “Cameleon,” will take on Filipino puncher Jayson Mama (21-3-1, 10 KOs). Ayala is a former IBF flyweight champion. The bout is expected to present as a clash between Ayala’s technical approach and Mama’s aggressive, power-driven style. Another highlight sees Jonathan Fierro (21-1, 18 KOs) square off against Sergio Chirino Sanchez (23-2, 13 KOs) in a junior lightweight matchup between two experienced fighters with strong knockout ratios. The card also features a women’s featherweight bout, where Mexico’s Yamileth Mercado (24-4, 5 KOs) meets Colombia’s Flor Valentina Rodriguez (9-2, 6 KOs), adding further depth and international flavor to the event.

 

Additional bouts include:

 

Miguel Angel Martinez (3-0, 2 KOs) vs Brian Nicolas Farias (9-4, 2 KOs) in the welterweight division;

Cristian Eusse (12-0-1, 9 KOs) vs Tomas Mendoza (13-3, 7 KOs) at lightweight;

Francisco Cantabrana (12-1, 10 KOs) vs Jordi Omar Villa Soto (9-4, 7 KOs) at light heavyweight; and

Manuel Romero (14-1-1, 8 KOs) vs Ridwan Oyekola (14-4-2, 9 KOs) in another lightweight contest.

 

Chris Roberts OBE, CEO of the International Boxing Association, commented: “This is exactly the kind of card that reflects where boxing is today: competitive, international, and full of fighters who are hungry to make the next step in their careers. Mexico has always been a cornerstone of the sport, and events like this show why. We’re seeing a strong mix of unbeaten prospects, experienced contenders, and genuine cross-border matchups that raise the level across the board. For many of these fighters, May 21 is not just another fight night. It’s an opportunity to move significantly closer to the global stage.”
