On March 1, Sandor Martín will face off against Alberto Puello for the World Super Lightweight title by the World Boxing Council (WBC). This is a unique opportunity for both the Catalan fighter and Spanish boxing to return to the top. It’s been a while since a Spanish boxer has gained an absolute belt – not since Kiko Martínez beat Kid Galahad in November 2021.
Recently, Sandor held a public training session attended by numerous media and friends at the Rubí Vega Boxeo Club in Barcelona. His team, led by his father and coach Rafa Martín, was by his side. Even friends like former soccer player Julio Salinas stopped by to wish Sandor luck. The event showed Sandor’s skills, and he seemed more than optimistic about the challenge ahead.
The Road to New York
This Saturday, Martín will travel to New York, where the evening of his fight will take place, preceding Gervonta Davis’s match against Lamont Roach. The duel against Puello will be held at the Brooklyn Barclays Center, home of the NBA’s Nets team. Although Puello, the interim champion, will have a large following in the arena, Sandor will have the opportunity to be supported by the Spanish public, who can watch the fight on Movistar Plus+ for 9.99 euros. The platform will broadcast the four main fights, making this a historical appointment that’s not to be missed.
The atmosphere is set to be electric, with Puello’s fans likely to be out in force. However, with the fight being broadcast on Movistar Plus+, Spanish fans will be able to cheer on Sandor from the comfort of their own homes. It’s a chance for Spanish boxing to shine on the global stage, and Sandor is ready to seize the moment. Will he be able to bring home the world title? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – this is a fight you won’t want to miss.
