Undefeated RayJay Bermudez super lightweight prospect flying under the radar
Undefeated *RayJay “The Destroyer” Bermudez*
(12-0, 9 KOs) has tried to stay busy and progress, developmental-wise,
fighting three times during the pandemic, including a recent title-winning
performance south of the border.
The 22-year-old Bermudez, fighting out of Albany (NY), stopped
journeyman *Rynell
Griffin* in five rounds last November in New Hampshire, and he followed
that up in December with a third-round technical knockout of *Ever Ceballos*
in Mexico to capture the vacant American Boxing Federation’s (ABF) Americas
West super lightweight championship.
“Mexico was a humbling experience,” Bermudez said after his ABF
title-winning performance. “I’m honored to have had the opportunity to go
to another country and fight for a professional title. I fought a tough,
scrappy Mexican veteran, who was game from the beginning, but my plan was
to stay composed and break him down. And that’s exactly want I did to score
a third-round TKO and advance my record to 11-0 with 8 knockouts. Thank you
to everybody who tuned on the FITE.app. This is only the beginning of
something special!”
In his most recent fight earlier this month, Bermudez returned to Mexico
for a stay busy fight, stopping *Mario Israel Vera* round four.
Despite his unbeaten run, Bermudez is still fighting under the radar, at
least on a national basis, but 2021 promises to be a breakout year for him,
of course, pending pandemic restrictions in 2021.
Bermudez, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, is trained by his
uncle, *Hector Bermudez,* who has trained five world champions including *TJ
Doheny* and *Javier Fortuna*.
RayJay looked great in his last fight,” Roach commented. “He stuck to the
game plan and broke his opponent down. We as a team are really happy where
he is at right now. We will start stepping up the competition this year.
Our goal will be to get him a regional title and get him ranked. This will
be an exciting year to be a part of RayJay’s team.
