Dominican Olympian Euri Cedeno faces Abel Mina on Saturday, June 7 at Norfolk Scope Arena in Norfolk, VA. The pair square off in a 10-round bout at middleweight. The contest is featured on the undercard of Keyshawn Davis vs Edwin De Los Santos, live on ESPN+.
Unbeaten Cedeno (11-0-1, 10 KOs) makes his second ring appearance of the year, following a first-round knockout victory against Ulices Tovar Rivera in March. The 25-year-old southpaw takes on Mina (18-3-1, 9 KOs) – the 32-year-old native of Ecuador, who makes his U.S. debut, after scoring a unanimous decision over Armando Fontalvo in January.
Ahead of the event, Euri Cedeno signed a co-promotional deal with Top Rank, “which will work alongside King’s Promotions,” the organization announced on Wednesday.
“It’s a great honor to join Top Rank’s incredible stable,” Cedeno said. “This opportunity results from years of hard work, including over 400 amateur fights, my Olympic run, and 11 wins as a pro. I’ve earned it, but there’s still a long way to go until I achieve my dream of becoming a world champion. I begin this next big chapter in my career on June 7 in Norfolk.”
