Ledesma, known for his aggressive finishing ability, stated that he has worked hard to improve various aspects of his game and is looking forward to testing his skills against a seasoned opponent.
Undefeated cruiserweight Starlyn Guzman will meet Jankelly Rodriguez Paulino (5-1, 5 KOs) in an interesting matchup between two knockout artists.

Lastly, Angel Rodriguez, another promising talent, aims to build on his early success when he battles Nayer Gonzalez Jimenez (3-1, 3 KOs). Rodriguez expressed his commitment to continuous improvement and emphasized the importance of discipline against an opponent who has showcased significant knockout power.
