Las Vegas (July 13, 2015) - Former WBC, WBO and Ring Champion Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez and Brooklyn FitBoxing has confirmed that they will appear and have a booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the second annual Box Fan Expo that will take place Saturday Sept. 12, 2015. The Boxing Expo will coincide with Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s last fight and Mexican Independence weekend.
Martinez is an Argentine retired professional boxer. He is the former Lineal, The Ring, WBO and WBC middleweight champion, and his 50-month reign as Lineal middleweight champion ranks as one of the longest in the division's history. Martinez was previously in the light-middleweight division, where he held the WBC light-middleweight title (interim then elevated to full-status champion).
Martínez was formerly rated as the number three pound-for-pound best boxer in the world -- behind Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao -- by most sporting news and boxing websites, including Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Yahoo! Sports, and The Ring. In 2010, he received The Ring and BWAA "Fighter of the Year" and The Ring "Knockout of the Year" awards. In 2010 and 2012, he received the World Boxing Council "Boxer of the Year" award. Martinez holds notable victories over former world champions Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams, Sergiy Dzinziruk, Darren Barker and Julio César Chávez Jr.
Outside the ring, Martínez has been an active spokesperson in the fight against bullying and domestic violence against women. He is the author of the book Corazón de Rey ("Heart of a King").
Martinez is also part owner of a health and fitness gym company named Brooklyn FitBoxing, headquartered in Madrid, Spain.
Martinez joins "Showtime" Shawn Porter, Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin, Ruslan "Siberian Rocky" Provodnikov, Terrible" Terry Norris, Joel "El Cepillo" Casamayor, Mia "The Knockout" St. John and "El Feroz" Fernando Vargas among early commitments to this year's Box Fan Expo.
This unique fan experience event, which allowed fans to meet and greet boxing legends, past and current champions and other celebrities of the sport, debuted last September. This year the Expo will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and once again, allow fans a chance to collect autographs, take photos and purchase merchandise and memorabilia.
Exhibitors such as boxing gear, apparel, broadcasting media and other brand companies who wish to participate will have a chance to showcase their products to fans and the whole boxing industry.
