MANNY Pacquiao’s first promotional foray into the US market is gathering pace. The complete fight card has now been announced for the November 29 show at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California.
Already announced, in the main event, Lorenzo Parra will face WBO International featherweight champion Elijah Pierce. Venezuela’s Parra, 23-1-1 (17 KOs), takes on Oklahoma City’s Elijah Pierce, 21-2 (17 KOs), with the winner going one step closer to facing reigning WBO featherweight champion Rafael Espinoza.
In a co-main event marking a new beginning for the legendary Pacquiao name, Manny Pacquiao’s eldest son, Jimuel Pacquiao, will start his professional boxing campaign when he takes on Chicago’s Brendan Lally.
Following a three-year amateur career, 24-year-old Jimuel trains out of the esteemed Wild Card Boxing Gym under the guidance of Marvin Somodio. Standing between Jimuel and his storybook beginning to his career is Chicago’s Brendan Lally.
Like his opposition, November 29 will be Lally’s professional debut. While in college, Lally discovered boxing and quickly shifted his entire focus to the sport, winning a collegiate national championship.
Elsewhere, Luis Arias (22-5, 11 KOs) is taking on San Diego’s undefeated Lazaro Lorenzana (17-0, 12 KOs). With a career spanning over a decade, Arias is the former IBF USBA middleweight champion.
Also slated for his first bout in the U.S., Mexico’s Jose Russell Regalado (16-1, 10 KOs) returns to action against Saleto Henderson (9-4).
21-year-old Terry Washington (5-0, 5 KOs) is set for a light-flyweight tilt against Peru’s Ricardo Astuvilca (23-4, 5 KOs). Boasting a 100% knockout rate, San Bernardino, California’s Washington made his professional debut last year.
Hailing from Hollywood, Alexis Alvarado (8-1-1, 5 KOs), who has not suffered a defeat since 2021, squares off against the Philippines’ Garen Diagan (10-7-1, 5 KOs) in a super-flyweight brawl.
