Undefeated El Paso boxing standout Ivy “Poison” Enriquez will add another memorable milestone to her young career when she throws out the ceremonial first pitch before the El Paso Chihuahuas take on the Albuquerque Isotopes on Saturday, August 1, at Southwest University Park.
The evening is expected to draw one of the biggest crowds of the season as the Chihuahuas celebrate WWE Night, featuring a special Eddie Guerrero bobblehead giveaway honoring one of El Paso’s most beloved sports and entertainment icons.
For Enriquez, the invitation is more than just a ceremonial honor—it’s a place in El Paso sports history.

With this appearance, Ivy Enriquez becomes just the third El Paso-born boxer known to throw out a ceremonial first pitch for the El Paso Chihuahuas.

Now, “Poison” Ivy Enriquez joins that exclusive list, becoming the newest hometown boxer recognized by the organization.
It’s another milestone for the 19-year-old rising star, whose popularity continues to grow both inside and outside the boxing ring.
