Mexican star and former world champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz will look to begin his 2025 in emphatic fashion, as he prepares to take on hard-charging contender Angel Fierro in an all-Mexican showdown this Saturday, February 1 as part of a loaded PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“Our bags are packed and we’re ready to see everyone in Vegas this week,” said Cruz. “People are eager to see us back in the ring once again and there’s no better way to kick off 2025 than with an all-out Mexican battle!”

The 26-year-old will fight in Las Vegas for the third time as a pro on February 1.

“I remember my first time fighting in Las Vegas because it was the culmination of years of hard work,” said Cruz. “Every Mexican fighter wants to fight in Las Vegas and I’m thankful to be coming back. This doesn’t feel much different than that first time and that’s because of all the fans who have shown me love. I’m thankful for them and I want to make them proud.”

In his first fight since losing the title by decision last August, Cruz will begin his run to reclaim the title and hopes that with a win on February 1 he can catapult back to the top of the 140 pound division.

“Saturday, February 1 is a new beginning,” said Cruz. “Fans love these types of fights and that’s who I fight for. We had a strong training camp to be at our best when the bell rings. The goal is to retake our spot at the top and get into more big fights. We’re going to go into that ring in great shape.”
