2012 OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALIST MARLEN ESPARZA TO HEADLINE APRIL 6

Published by Shawn C.

LOS ANGELES (March 8, 2018): 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist *Marlen
Esparza* (4-0)
will make her headlining debut when she takes on Philadelphia’s *Laetizia
Campana* (2-4) in an eight-round super flyweight fight on the April 6 edition
of *LA FIGHT CLUB* at the Belasco Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, Calif.
and televised live on EstrellaTV’s *Boxeo Estelar*.

Esparza was the first female to sign with Golden Boy Promotions in 2016,
followed by Maricela* “La Diva” Cornejo* and fellow super flyweight *Seniesa
“Superbad” Estrada*. Since then, Esparza has scored four impressive
victories, including a dominant win against Karla Valenzuela on the
Dec. 14 edition
of *Golden Boy Boxing on **ESPN*. Esparza will look to continue
implementing the new tools learned under her world-renowned trainer Virgil
Hunter as she inches closer to a world title opportunity.

“Golden Boy Promotions is making history by having two back-to-back *LA
FIGHT CLUB*events headlined by a female fighter,” said *Marlen **Esparza*.
“After four fights in 2017, I’m ready to be in bigger and better fights. I
will show fans on April 6 why I deserve a title shot very soon.”

Campana is a native of France who currently lives in Philadelphia. Campana
has spent the majority of her career fighting in Thailand and will seek to
ruin Esparza’s headlining debut in her first fight in the United States.

“I am coming to win this fight,” said *Laetizia **Campana.* “I’m not just
going through the motions. Diesel Fit Boxing Management’s team is full of
champions, and I am on my way to becoming one. I have been training too
hard not to win!”

In the co-main event, 130-pound prospect *Hector Tanajara, Jr*. (12-0, 5
KOs) will compete in an eight-round battle against an opponent who will be
announced shortly. Tanajara, a native of San Antonio, Texas who is under
the tutelage of Robert Garcia, will return after blasting Eduardo Rivera
via first-round knockout in February.

*Pablo Rubio, Jr.* (10-0, 3 KOs) of Los Angeles, Calif. will open up the *Boxeo
Estelar*broadcast in a six-round battle against *Andres Balderas* (4-3, 3
KOs) of Monterrey, Mexico. Rubio, Jr. is a regular favorite at *LA FIGHT
CLUB* and brings an exciting, action-packed style in every fight.

*Rigoberto Hermosillo* (11-0-1, 8 KOs) of Guadalajara, Mexico will square
off against a soon-to-be-announced opponent in a featherweight bout
scheduled for six rounds. Hermosillo made his professional debut on a
Golden Boy Promotions card in 2013 and, after fighting the majority of his
bouts in Mexico, will make a homecoming of sorts on April 6.

The night will initiate with a ten-round explosion as seasoned prospect *Aidar
Sharibayev*(7-0, 6 KOs) takes on *Enrique Tinoco* (16-5-4, 12 KOs) of
Tijuana, Mexico for the WBA Continental Featherweight Title. Sharibayev, a
native of Kazakhstan by way of Miami, Florida, is a seasoned prospect who
is quickly moving up the rankings, taking yet another tough challenge in
only his eighth bout.

*Esparza vs. Campana* is an eight-round flyweight fight presented by Golden
Boy Promotions. The event is sponsored by Tecate *”THE OFFICIAL BEER OF
BOXING”* and Casa Mexico Tequila. The *Boxeo Estelar *broadcast will air
live on EstrellaTV at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT. The card will also stream
live on EstrellaTV.com and on YouTube via LBI Media, Inc.’s Fenomeno
Studios. Mark your calendars and buy your tickets for the upcoming
shows on June
1, July 6, Aug. 10, and Oct. 12.
