Unbeaten Fighter With ‘All the Tools to Become a Real Threat’ Joins Top Rank
Top Rank Boxing, led by the evergreen Bob Arum, continues to sign both established and up-and-coming fighters, strengthening its already impressive roster. Recent additions include prospects Rohan Polanco and Julius Ballo. The promotional giant has now announced the signing of the undefeated Dominican middleweight prospect Euri Cedeño to a long-term co-promotional agreement alongside King’s Promotions.
Euri Cedeño Signs Long-Term Deal with Top Rank and King’s Promotions
Cedeño Reflects on Joining Top Rank and Future Goals
Cedeño represented his homeland at the Tokyo Olympics and has impressed since beginning his professional journey. The power-punching southpaw will take on Ecuador’s Abel Mina (18-3-1, 9 KOs) on June 7 in Norfolk on the undercard of Keyshawn Davis vs Edwin De Los Santos.
The 25-year-old will join Top Rank’s fellow Dominicans Elvis Rodriguez, Polanco and Yan Santana. Cedeño (11-0-1, 10 KOs) has one blemish on his record, a draw with Cuban Dayan Depestre in October 2024. Since that draw, Cedeño has won five in a row, four by stoppage.
Reflecting on his deal with Top Rank, the Dominican prospect said: “It’s a great honor to join Top Rank’s incredible stable.”
“This opportunity results from years of hard work, including over 400 amateur fights, my Olympic run, and 11 wins as a pro. I’ve earned it, but there’s still a long way to go until I achieve my dream of becoming a world champion. I begin this next big chapter in my career on June 7 in Norfolk.”

“Euri Cedeño is one of the most complete fighters to come out of the Dominican Republic in recent years,” said Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum. “He has amateur pedigree, the composure of a seasoned veteran, and all the tools to become a real threat in the middleweight division.”
CEO of King’s Promotions Marshall Kauffman, also expressed his excitement about the deal and his belief in Cedeño: “I’m very excited about this co-promotion with Top Rank, which is — and has been — the best promotional company in the world,” said Marshall Kauffman.
