Manuel, standing tall at 6’2”, is a battle-tested warrior that will look to give Bustos his first loss. Although Manuel hasn’t fought since the pandemic lock-down started, he has been training hard and is poised to spoil Bustos raise in the welterweight division.

“I am going to make this fight rough for Bustos,” said Todd Manuel. “I know who I am as a fighter, and I have been through a lot, and Bustos will be in for a tough fight against me. I have way more experience than him and it will be the main factor on why I will win this fight. I’ll be in great shape as I’ve been training this whole time I’ve been out of the ring.”

In the 6-round co-feature, middleweight Richard “Cool Breeze” Brewart Jr. (8-0, 4 KO), of Rancho Cucamonga, CA, will face the fellow undefeated foe, Nathan Weston (6-0-2, 2 KOs), of Atlanta, GA.

“I learned a lot in my last fight, and I am better than ever,” said Brewart Jr. “My goal is to get another knockout win with the hopes of fighting for a regional title by the end of the year. I know that with a great promoter like Thompson Boxing, it is possible.”

“I have big plans to go into Brewart’s backyard and pull out a victory,” stated Weston. “I’m undefeated for a reason and it’s time to show everyone that I’m the real deal. I’m going to make it a dog fight. Brewart has no clue what he’s getting into.”

In the opening 4-round bout, Nelson Oliva of Fontana, CA, will be making his pro debut against a fighter TBA. Oliva, a middleweight, was a standout in the amateur ranks.

“Both Bustos and Brewart had very good performances on our last events, and we’re excited to have them back,” said promoter Ken Thompson. “We want to make fights that fans want to see and this card fits that mold.”

“Bustos and Brewart have become staples of the our events and with these fights they should continue their journey to the top,” said Alex Camponovo, Thompson Boxing’s general manager and creator of 3.2.1 Boxing. “We expect to start the year with a bang and we think that these matchups will do just that.”
