Omar continues to be a community leader with the youth in his hometown of Brownsville, TX,

“It was a great honor to be recognized and awarded these recognitions.” said Omar Juarez. “I think it’s important to give back to my community with time and support. I’m very grateful to have a solid team behind me that helps me accomplish all my goal outside the ring. I will continue to be a positive role model to the youth in my community and around the world.”

“We are very proud of Omar for being a positive role model in the South Texas community,” said Jorge Sanchez, who helps Juarez with his activities outside the ring. “The sky is the limit for Omar as he will continue to bring a helpful environment for the kids in this area.”

Peter Kahn’s Fight Game Advisors has signed Undefeated Super Flyweight Female Prospect Jasmine ‘Animal’ Artiga, (7-0-1, 4 KOs), of Tampa, FL to an exclusive management contract, it was announced today.

Said Peter Kahn, “Jasmine is a hard hitting, extremely athletic fighter. Although her record is 7-0, she's still in the development phase of her career and continues to make big strides every day. Her work ethic and discipline are what is going to enable her to be a world champion. Once her boxing IQ and experience catches up to her raw and one punch knockout power, she's going to be a big problem in the super flyweight division."

“Before I met Peter I felt that my career had leveled out,” said Artiga. “I’ve sold a lot of tickets on local shows while winning but I wanted to broaden and step up my career. Like me, Peter’s very family oriented and he’s a man of his word. I truly believe he can elevate my career.”

A native of Tampa, FL where she excelled in sports in high school, Artiga started boxing at the age of 21. Winning the National Golden Gloves, Florida State Golden Gloves and the Florida State PAL, she turned professional in May of 2017. Training in Tampa with her father and brother in her corner, Artiga spars on a regular basis with 154lb. and 160lb. female fighters.

“I’m realistic about where my career is, playing a little catchup. But, I’m getting better every day and four to five fights from now I’ll be ready for a world title fight,” continued Artiga, who also is a personal trainer and teaches boxing at a youth clinic in addition to working as strength and conditioning coach for a local high school football team.

Details on Artiga’s highly anticipated return to the ring will be announced shortly.

The exciting return of super bantamweight Saul “The Beast” Sanchez (13-1, 7 KOs) of Pacoima, Ca, who is promoted by Thompson Boxing, will happen this Friday, October 9th, 2020, as he faces Daniel "La Tormenta” Lozano (15-9-1, 11 KOs), who fights out of Bowling Green, Florida. The two warriors will headline a ten-round bout televised live on Telemundo, taking place at the Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Here is what Sanchez had to say about this recent training camp with coach Manny Robles.

On his recent training camp.

“It has been really good training camp as we just wrapped up our final day of working out. I am working with my coach Manny Robles, and he is helping me to improve in a lot of areas. This has been an exhausting and hard camp, but I feel that the work I put in will pay off in the ring.”

On the match-up with Daniel Lozano.

“Daniel Lozano is a really tough and experienced fighter. I think he is a little past his prime, but even then, he is still a difficult fight. He’s been in the ring with some good fighters.  Lozano is from Florida and I am going into his backyard, so I am coming in with the mindset of being the underdog.  I hate that I have a loss on my record, so I feel my performance needs to be that much better to get my name to where it was prior to my first defeat.”

On what a win would do for your career.

“A win could elevate me into the bouts I want to be in. I look at guys like Daniel Roman and Ruben Villa, both of whom are in world title fights and signed to my promoter Thompson Boxing, and that is what I want. So, I want to get myself into a position in which I can fight for a world title against the very best in the world and beating a known veteran like Lozano helps move me in that direction.”

On headlining a Telemundo boxing card

"Obviously to headline any card is huge, but for it to be on national television is a major step up in my career. I just want to put on a great fight for those tuning in. I need to be impressive in this televised fight.  I’ll be throwing a lot of punches, that you can guarantee.”
