created big legends like Julio Cesar Chavez and Erik’ El
Terrible’ Morales will elevate my profile in front of the
boxing community,” said William Zepeda. “Very soon, everyone

One of the most exciting lightweight fighters to come out of
Mexico, William “Camaron” Zepeda, is an undefeated fighter
known for his devastating punching power. With a 91% KO
ratio, Zepeda has only gone the distance twice in his
career, first in 2016 and the second in 2017. Since then,
the fighter has defeated every fighter via knockout,
including tough contenders Roberto “Rifle” Ramirez and
Hector “El Finito” Tanajara. Zepeda was last seen in the
ring in November 2021, defeating John Vicente Moralde via
knockout in the fourth round.
Luis “Bofo” Viedas of Tijuana, Mexico, has been a local
staple on the Tijuana boxing scene since his professional
debut in 2006. After a slow 2020 due to the pandemic, Vedas
stayed active in 2021 when he was able to fight four times,
winning bouts against Jose Luis Araiza, Luis Gerard Perez
Salas, and Francisco Coronado. Now, Viedas is looking for an
opportunity to prove he is still in his prime when he faces
William Zepeda on February 19.
