MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS CONTINUES TO PURSUE RISING TALENT IN THE SPORT ADDING PROSPECTS DAVID LOPEZ & MICKY SCALA
Mayweather Promotions is excited to
announce the signing of two Arizona-based prospects *Micky Scala* & *David
“Dynamite” Lopez* to their growing stable of budding talent.
“We’ve added two more talented prospects to the mix, and we’re looking
forward to getting started with guiding their careers as things start to
open back up,” said CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe. Keep
these young fighters on your radars because it’s going to be exciting to
watch them come up in the sport.”
I’m happy to be able to announce that at 17 I signed with the best stable
in boxing,” said Micky Scala. My team and family’s hard work has paid off.
I am more than thankful for the Mayweather Promotions team for giving me
the opportunity to showcase my skills to the fullest. Thank you to everyone
who has helped me get here, especially my family, they drive me to be the
best person I can each and every day. We are just getting started!”
“This is a dream come true,” said David Lopez. “Growing up, Floyd was
someone that I looked up to and watched 24/7. This is a huge blessing and
I’m thankful to start my professional career and show the world how great I
am.”
Eighteen-year-old Mesa, Arizona native Micky Scala currently holds a
current record of (2-0, 1 KO). He made his professional debut on July 26,
2019 in Tijuana, Mexico where he defeated his opponent, Carlos Alfredo Ruiz
Vega, by unanimous decision. Prior to the world shutting down early 2020
due to COVID, Scala made his Mayweather Promotions debut before officially
signing with the company and that’s where he caught the eye of Leonard
Ellerbe, which ultimately led to making the deal official. Scala looks to
carry his strong Italian heritage and to become one of the next Italian
greatest fighter legacies.
David Lopez, originally from Oakland, CA. was first introduced to the sport
by his father Kris Lopez who also plays the role of trainer. The
seventeen-year-old recalls watching his father at an early age hustle to
pay the bills while running his gym, Lighting’s Boxing Club. Lopez was the
reining #1 amateur in 2015 & 2016 in the U.S.A before his father and him
made the choice to start focusing on taking his talents to professional
level. The southpaw fighter looks up to Floyd Mayweather as a major source
of inspiration to his fight style, so when the opportunity to sign with the
legendary stable appeared, he rose to the occasion.
