Suzumi Takayama

Suzumi Takayama (9-0, 8 KOs) is a heavy-handed super flyweight who is fast making a name for himself, overwhelming opponents with his southpaw style.

Ari Bonilla

Ari Bonilla (2-0, 1 KO) turned professional in 2024 winning both of his fights. He is a fan-friendly fighter who moves his feet well. He spins out of danger impressively when under pressure. He showcased this slickness on his professional debut against Adrian Ibarra, winning by a unanimous decision. His next fight saw him dominate and stop Nelvis Rodriguez by fifth-round TKO.

Phumelele  Cafu

Phumelela Cafu (11-0-3, 8 KOs) was somewhat of an unknown quantity before his sensational split decision win against Kosei Tanaka to win the WBO super flyweight title.
