Elias Emigdio headlines a duo of Flyweight rematches in Mexico
AIBA Pro Boxing (APB) makes its debut in Mexico City, Mexico on Wednesday evening with two Cycle I Round 1 flyweight (52 kg) matches.
The main event will showcase home star Elias Emigdio (MEX), who competes against Fernando Martinez (ARG) for the second time in this competition.
Their first meeting took place in the very first week of APB action, and it was the Mexican fighter who was victorious after achieving a wide points victory.
Emigdio last fought in the APB Flyweight World Title Match against Misha Aloian, but lost the opportunity to become the World Champion after an impressive performance from his Russian opponent.
The former World Series of Boxing (WSB) star will take confidence from that bout however, as he dominated the latter stages and looked very comfortable competing over eight rounds.
Martinez impressed in the first three minutes of his earlier bout with Emigdio, but faded as the rounds progressed.
As this rematch will be taking place over two further rounds, the Argentine has been working on his stamina to ensure he will be able to cope with the added pace.
Mexico is legendary for its high altitude which can sap the energy of even the hardest trained boxer, so Emigdio could have an edge as he has competed there many times in his career.
His opponent is a pressure fighter who makes life very difficult for his ring rivals, while Emigdio is a far more economical boxer who relies on timing and accuracy.
The winner of Emigdio vs Martinez will meet either Jasurbek Latipov (UZB) or Ilyas Suleimenov (KAZ) in APB Cycle 1 Round 2.
Latipov and Suleimenov will also be rematching after Suleimenov comfortably defeated the two-time AIBA World Championships medalist in the Ranking Phase.
A former Olympian, Suleimenov has already earned two stoppage victories in this format of boxing, while Latipov is on a three fight winning streak.

APB Light Welterweights Romero and Fehim aim to marvel in Mexico
Two AIBA Pro Boxing (APB) Cycle I Round 1 light welterweight (64 kg) matches will take place in Mexico City, Mexico on Wednesday evening.
The keenly awaited main contest sees local icon Juan Pablo Romero (MEX) battle Chabane Fehim (FRA), who makes his APB debut in this fixture.
Romero won his opening match of the Ranking Phase with a superb victory over Carlos Aquino (ARG), but has struggled in recent bouts having lost twice to Abdelkader Chadi (ALG).
Despite being just 24-years-old, Fehim has competed all over the world in his boxing career, with many European tournaments victories confirming his talent.
His brief stint in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) will also help the French athlete to adjust to the longer round format of APB, but Romero will be a very difficult opponent to face, especially in Mexico City.
The high altitude of Mexico will play into Romero’s style, with the North American fighter boasting an unrelenting dedication to his fitness, training and conditioning.
Those endurance skills were perfectly displayed in WSB where he was named the Season II Individual Champion, and in APB he has also competed well despite a losing record.
Both men will be stepping into unknown territory however, as this bout is scheduled for eight rounds, a distance neither man has boxed before.
Fehim is a precise athlete who has an excellent capability to impose his will onto fights, while Romero’s unorthodox hooks and uppercuts contain plenty of power.
The winner of the match will next face either Vyceslav Kyslytsyn (UKR) or Yoelvis Hernandez (VEN) in Cycle I Round 2.
Kyslytsyn is still searching for his first in-ring APB victory, while Hernandez makes his first appearance in this competition.
