In the main event, WBC FECARBOX, and WBA Continental lightweight champion Armando “El Relámpago” Martinez (17-0, 15 KOs) attempts to continue his trek toward a world title as he takes on undefeated lightweight contender Neslan Machado (21-0, 10 KOs) in a 10-round bout. It will be Martinez’s first bout of his 2026 campaign following an impressive four-fight unbeaten run in 2025.
The event will also feature the 2026 debuts of boxing’s next big attraction, the Bonilla Twins. Blue-chip phenoms Ari (5-0, 2 KOs) and Andrey Bonilla (5-0, 4 KOs), of El Paso, Texas, by way of Pasadena, California, look to continue their meteoric rise in separate special attraction bouts.
Also on the card, rising junior welterweight Montaser “The Boy King” Aboughaly (7-0, 3 KOs) of Tampa will make a quick turnaround following his show-stopping knockout in January and will once again put his undefeated record on the line.
Rounding out the card, rising prospects and local favorites Aaron Aponte (13-3-1, 4 KOs) and Gavonne Bess (7-0, 2 KOs) kick off their 2026 campaigns in exciting bouts.
Featherweight prospect Sebastian Santana (3-0, 2 KOs), light heavyweight veteran Jose Cortes (9-5, 3 KOs), and super middleweight Jeremy Park (1-1) will appear in separate bouts.
“We set the tone with our partner Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with a great event in January,” said promoter Kris Lawrence. “As you’ve come to expect from Heavyweight Factory, this event is stacked with great matchups and a huge title fight in the main event at the historic Hard Rock Live.”
