(Boxlab Promotions)
Jordan Orozco has a new promoter and his first fight date under that promoter’s banner.
Orozco, 15-0 (15 KOs), has signed with Boxlab Promotions, the company announced Monday. Also known as Jordan Orozco Hernandez, he is a 21-year-old bantamweight from Nicaragua.
He turned pro in February 2023, with his first eight fights taking place in his home country. Since then, he’s fought exclusively in Florida. Six of those bouts were in Miami and his most recent performance – an eighth-round TKO of the 9-0-1 Karlo Rodriguez – in Orlando in December. Orozco is ranked 12th by the WBA and 14th by the WBO.
Orozco’s win over Rodriguez took place on a Boxlab show at the Caribe Royale Orlando. That venue is where he will return on a March 21 event co-promoted by Boxlab and Matchroom Boxing. His opponent has not yet been named.
“I’ve worked my entire life for this opportunity,” Orozco was quoted as saying in a press release. “I’m hungry, I’m focused and I’m ready to show the world my God-given talent. I believe this partnership will help me reach the highest level in boxing. They believe in me and my future. When you have a team that sees your vision and matches your hunger, that’s powerful.”
The March 21 show is headlined by WBC middleweight titleholder Carlos Adames defending against Austin “Ammo” Williams, and the undercard will also feature junior middleweight prospect Omari Jones and heavyweight prospect Teremoana Teremoana.
“Jordan Orozco is a rare talent. His power is undeniable, but what impressed me most in his last performance was his composure and ring intelligence,” said Amaury Piedra of Boxlab in a press release. “He doesn’t just rely on power; he understands distance, timing and control. After witnessing his performance [in December], it became clear that he possesses the qualities necessary to become the next major star from Nicaragua. He carries himself with professionalism and fights with conviction. We are proud to guide his journey toward a world championship.”
