Stacked Toro Promotions card this Saturday
LOS ANGELES (September 15, 2025) – Often avoided World Boxing Council (WBC) Latino Heavyweight Champion Kingsley “The Black Lion” Kingsley (15-2-1, 13 KOs) will ride a 10-fight win streak into this Saturday night’s (Sept. 20) “Legacy Night” card, presented by Toro Promotions Inc., at Gimnasio Nacional Adolfo Pineda in San Salvador, the capital and largest city in El Salvador.
History will be made because “Legacy Night” is the inaugural professional boxing event ever staged in El Salvador, which is part of El Salvador President Nayib Bukele’s broader vision that includes his country becoming a center for major boxing events. The El Salvador Boxing Federation appointed International Boxing & MMA Consultants, Inc. (“IBMC”) as the national athletic commission overseeing professional boxing and other combat sports in El Salvador.
“With El Salvador attracting huge interest and investment to serve as a regional and global hub for boxing, Toro Promotions is honored to spearhead this endeavor,” Toro’s promoter Azat Torosyan said. “We are proud to promote and organize the first international pro boxing event in El Salvador. Matchmaker Whit Haydon has put together Toro’s premier overall card, highlighted by five scheduled 10-round fights, including four title fights.”
The 31-year-old Ibeh, the cousin of infamous heavyweight Ike Ibeabuchi, hasn’t lost since 2021. The former Canadian pro football player, a native of Nigeria who lives in Phoenix, takes on former world heavyweight title challenger Gerald “El Gallo Negro” Washington (21-6-1, 14 KOs) in the 10-round main event for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX (Central American Boxing Federation) Heavyweight Championship.
During his 13-year professional career, Washington has defeated Robert Helenius, Eddie Chambers, and Sherman Williams, in addition to squaring off against world champions Deontay Wilder and Charles Martin, as well as top contenders such as Jarell Miller, Amir Mansour, Adam Kownacki and Derek Chisora.
WBA Continental Super Featherweight Champion Austin Brooks (13-0-1, 6 KOs) faces Maxwell Montez in the 10-round, co-featured event. The World Boxing Association (WBA) ranks Brooks at No. 12 rated, fighting out of San Diego. Brooks, 29, is a slick southpaw, while his Nicaraguan opponent has won 5 of his last 7 fights with one draw.
Undefeated Nicaraguan super featherweight prospect Nilo Guerrero (10-0, 7 KOs), who now lives in Coachella (CA), meets fellow countryman William “El Chatel” Vargas (9-5, 3 KOs) in a 10-round bout for the vacant WBC FECARBOX super featherweight title.
Twenty-year-old twin brothers, El Paso (TX) prospects Ari Bonilla (4-0, 2 KOs) and Andrey Bonilla (4-0, 3 KOs), will be showcased in a pair of 10-round title matches. A former WBC USA super flyweight champion and 2022 World Youth Amateur Champion, Ari faces Asbel “Chocolatito” Bolaina (6-3, 0 KOs) for the vacant WBC FECARBOX Super Featherweight Championship; Andrey, a former WBC USA Bantamweight Champion and 2024 Mexican Elite National Champion as an amateur, meets Isaac Martinez Barragan (6-0, 2 KOs) for the vacant WBC FECARBOX Bantamweight crown.
An 8-round fight on “Legacy Nights” undercard features California heavyweights Alexander “The Great” Flores (19-5-1, 7 KOs) and Juan Torres (17-7-2, 9 KOs) in a battle of giants. The 6’ 4”, 280-pound Flores will have a decisive physical advantage over the 6’ 1”, 252-pound Torres.
Also fighting on the undercard in 6-round bouts are heavyweight Jack May (10-1, 9 KOs) and super lightweight Samuel Contreras (2-0, 1 KO), respectively, against Abraham Pascual (15-11, 3 KOs) and Cristopher Ramirez Moreno (4-4, 3 KOs).
Card subject to change.
