(September 15, 2021) – Miami, Florida — Luis Rodriguez, (4-0, 4 KOs) from Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, coming off his 4th consecutive knockout win in four professional fights, fights this Sunday, September 19, in Atlanta, Georgia.
Rodriguez will battle former MMA fighter and Pennsylvanian Malon “Maximus” Griffin.
Rodriguez’ made his pro debut on June 11 and his knockouts have come in rounds 2, 1, 4, 1 respectively.
As an amateur star in Puerto Rico, the 24-year-old Rodriguez amassed a record of 78 wins and was a five time Puerto Rico National Champion. He then decided to bypass the Tokyo Olympics to turn pro instead and won by a phenomenal knockout in his debut.
Luis and his team, renowned boxing attorney Tony Gonzalez, and his promoter, Rivalta Boxing, followed up his pro debut with bouts on June 26, July 3 and August 20.
“The fast track start to Luis’ career is owed to his own work ethic and that of his team. We have all made a commitment to making a mark in boxing and the only way to back that up is by him being in the ring, honing and developing his God-given talent,” said Gonzalez. “More importantly is the fact that Luis has bought into the fast pace philosophy and is all business.”
Luis is scheduled for 6 rounds and will go ahead and start 8 round fights shortly thereafter. “Also we are looking for a step up fight very soon, and realistically looking at a potential regional title fight before the end of November.”
