*BAHAMIAN HEAVYWEIGHT PROSPECT AMRON “THE SANDMAN” SANDS DOMINATES CRISTIAN
GALVEZ IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC*

*New York, NY* (2/21/20) – Heavyweight prospect *Amron “The Sandman” Sands*
improved to 11-0 (9 KOs) with a victory against *Cristian Galvez* last
night at Club Deportivo Calero in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

The six-foot-six Sands, born in Nassau, Bahamas, now based in Orlando, FL,
came out aggressively, dropping Galvez in the opening round with a left
hook. However, he hurt his left thumb while blocking a punch later in the
frame and had to switch tactics. Promoted by *DiBella Entertainment *and
managed by *Kevin Dever Sports Management*, Sands pumped his jab to outbox
Galvez and punished him to the body whenever his foe moved in too close.
Going the eight-round distance for the first time, Sands won a unanimous
decision. Galvez, of Maimon, Dominican Republic, is now 17-6 (15 KOs).

Before turning pro on August 5, 2017, Sands accumulated a 40-3 record as an
amateur. After earning silver at the 2014 Independent Cup in the Dominican
Republic, Sands moved to Florida and started training out of Orlando Boxing
Academy with head coach Buck Mitchell. He also won first place at the 2015
Florida State PAL Boxing Championships and 2016 Sugar Bert Promotions Title
Belt National Qualifier.
