On July 2
at the Big Punch Arena in Tijuana, Mexico, he
will take on local man Christian Rene Arenas, in
a rematch, for the vacant
Universal
Boxing Organization™ (UBO)
World Super Featherweight title.
A
testament that he is focused on fulfilling the
potential he clearly has, Gonzalez (31), from
Stockton, California but of Mexican heritage, is
coming down in weight after fighting as high as
Super Lightweight previously and never shying
away from a challenge even on short notice.
From his
six losses, four has come against undefeated
opponents, and the other two against fighters
with only one defeat. In his most recent outing,
last November, he came up short in an all-out
war for a Lightweight title against 9-1-1 Jose
Luis Roa.

Back in
December of 2019, Gonzalez stopped Arenas (10-1,
5 KOs) in six rounds in another main event at
the Big Punch Arena, and “Pipo” has been hungry
for revenge ever since.
Fighting
in his home-town will further inspire Arenas to
even the score, but Gonzalez has left no stone
unturned and, besides winning the UBO World
title, wants to prove the result of their first
fight was not a fluke.
Gonzalez
vs. Arenas headlines a show promoted by King Gio
Boxing Promotions, and
will be streamed live by Fighthub TV, Global
Sports Streaming and Bestinboxing.com.
