Power-punching Dominican junior welterweight Heidan Martinez Morillo, a/k/a “Sugar Martinez” (17-0, 17 KOs), will make his United States ring debut against Philadelphia's Daiyaan “Badshah” Butt (20-3, 10 KOs) on the ProBoxTV-televised “Homecoming” event, Saturday, April 11th at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The show will be broadcast live on ProBoxTV (7:00 pm ET). In the ten-round main event, middleweight Vito “White Magic” Mielnicki Jr. (22-1, 13 KOs) of Roseland, New Jersey, will face Omar Ulises “La Bala” Huerta (15-0-1, 13 KOs) of San Ysidro, California, originally from Tijuana. In the 10-round co-featured, Cuban junior middleweight Yan Marcos (14-0, 10 KOs) of Miami via Havana takes on fellow undefeated local favorite Dwyke Flemmings Jr. (11-0, 10 KOs) Paterson.

 

The show will be presented by Sampson Boxing, in partnership with Paco Presents. The ten-round rumble between Martinez, age 21 and the rugged Philly veteran Butt, will serve as the toughest test of young Martinez’s career and help gauge his talent on the international stage. From a neighborhood called La Isabelita in Santo Domingo, Martinez grew up near WBC middleweight champion Carlos “Caballo Bronco” Adames, junior middlleweight Elvis Rodriguez and former Olympian Rohan Polanco.

 

Originally from Los Angeles, the 6-foot-tall, 28 year-old Butt has won 10 of his last 11 bouts dating back to 2022 and will be looking to spring the upset against the unproven Dominican slugger. 

 

Also on the show, Mexico City light flyweight Erick Badillo (19-0, 8 KOs) is scheduled to appear against an opponent that is TBA. Several more bouts featuring local and international talent will be announced shortly.
