Phoenix, AZ –
Checo Checo is what you will hear in any arena Sergio “Checo” Rodriguez of Hermosillo, Mexico is fighting. Sergio 10-0-1 (8Kos) is now fighting out of Phoenix, AZ like many who dare to take up boxing it was the trying to be like your big brother. Checo at the age of 8 years old started following his brothers to the local gym down the street from his house in the rough barrio in central Phoenix. Since that day over 20 years ago he has been training and fighting in some form. Drawing inspiration from his favorite fighter Hall of Famer and 9x world champion Juan manual Marquez.
Checo made his professional debut in the summer of 2021, it just so happened that another future world champion out of phoenix was on the card Elijah Garcia 16-0 (13Kos) who is fighting this Saturday vs Kyrone Davis on the the first PBC Amazon telecast. Receiving a draw for his first fight, but has been as hot as the phoenix heat in the summer knocking his opponents out in 8 of the following 10 fights. Even sending 2 to the hospital one with a broken foot and the other with a severe concussion.
This Friday he has another huge opportunity to show case his talent on another top rank card as he did in august of last year when he stopped his opponent in the 2nd round. Catching the eyes of national boxing fans it was a no brainer to have him on another Top Rank card in Arizona, perhaps on many other cards in the future if he can take care of business fight night. This fight has the writings of being the one that breaks Sergio into a top prospect and upcoming star on the Top Rank roster.
Checo is now at the point in his career where he wants to fight as much as he can but would rather face tougher opposition even if that means not stepping in the ring as often. As he stated “I want to challenge myself and be a world champion Ill be able to take care of my family, myself and live a better life”. He is ready to give the fans a show no matter where or who is in front of him.
You can catch Sergios fight as he takes on Sanny Dubersonne 12-6-2 (9Kos) on the Oscar Valdez Liam Wilson card tomorrow on ESPN plus starting at 3pm at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, AZ. Get there early as you don’t want to miss this fight.
