“This is my home, my people, and my moment,” said Flores. “Every round, every punch, every second—I fight for them. July 24th, I’m not just fighting an opponent; I’m defending my honor and representing my roots.”

"I’m excited to headline this card and can’t wait to perform in front of all my Southern California fans on July 24th,” said Chavez. “Fantasy Springs is close to my hometown of San Diego, so I’m expecting the support to show up on fight night. Manny Flores is a good fighter and this is the type of challenge I have wanted. I know I will rise to occasion and have an incredible performance, because winning this fight will take me to another level. I want to thank my coach Hector, my manager Abraham Perez and my team for believing in me.” 

“At Golden Boy, we’re in the business of building champions,” said Golden Boy chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya. “It starts with spotting the next big stars and testing them against the best. Flores is riding the momentum of back-to-back knockout victories and Chávez is an undefeated fighter hungry to prove he’s ready for the next level. Golden Boy Fight Night is stacked with must-see talent—this is a night boxing fans won’t want to miss!”
