Elijah Pierce and Jose Sanmartin are set to battle for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental America super bantamweight title this Friday night in Atlanta, Georgia.
The American fighter will go up against the Colombian in the co-main event of the evening, which will also feature Brandon Adams and Francisco Veron competing for the WBA Continental North America bantamweight title.
Pierce is currently enjoying the best form of his career with a 10-fight winning streak, securing victories over tough opponents like Mike Plania and Arthur Villanueva. The 27-year-old is determined to take on bigger challenges and sees this fight as a great opportunity to do so.
Sanmartin, on the other hand, is a Colombian boxer known for his grit and impressive fights in the ring. Despite facing some recent setbacks, with losses in close decisions against Kevin Gonzalez and Shabaz Masoud, he managed to secure a win over Mauricio Martinez in his last bout and is now back in the United States for this upcoming fight.
Pierce boasts a record of 19 wins, 2 losses, and 16 knockouts, while Sanmartin has 35 wins, 8 losses, 1 draw, and 21 knockouts.
