Brandon Figueroa Set to Deliver Fight Night Fireworks
LAS VEGAS – Two-division world champion Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa is ready to make a statement. On Saturday, July 19, he returns to the ring to face veteran contender Joet Gonzalez in a featured bout at the MGM Grand. This fight kicks off the pay-per-view card headlined by Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios, live on Prime Video.
Figueroa enters the bout with a new mindset and a new trainer. He’s now working with Manny Robles, a respected name in boxing. Together, they’ve focused on sharpening his skills and building a stronger fight plan. “I needed something new,” said Figueroa. “Training with Manny has pushed me to another level. I’m giving 110 percent to this camp.”
High Stakes and a Perfect Style Matchup
His opponent, Joet Gonzalez (27-4), is known for his relentless pressure. All of his losses have come against top champions. He recently scored a big win over Arnold Khegai, proving he’s still a dangerous threat. Figueroa believes their styles will create an exciting matchup.
“Joet’s a forward-moving fighter,” said Figueroa. “That’s perfect for me. I won’t have to chase him. We’ll meet in the middle, and fans are going to love it.” Figueroa’s goal is clear: deliver Fight of the Night — or better yet, Fight of the Year.
Fighting on a Legend’s Card
For Figueroa, fighting on Manny Pacquiao’s undercard is more than just a career moment. “It’s a blessing,” he said. “I grew up watching Manny. Now I get to share the stage with him.” That energy is fueling his motivation.
As the opening fight on a stacked card, Figueroa knows he’s setting the tone. “It’s my job to start the show right. I’m ready to bring everything I’ve got.”
