Welcome to the Next Big Thing in LA Boxing: Abel Mejia
Abel Mejia is the newest rising star in the Los Angeles boxing scene, and he’s ready to make a name for himself. At just 20 years old, this super featherweight from El Modena, California has already caught the attention of 360 Promotions and signed a contract with them. His next fight will be on April 20 at the Commerce Casino in Commerce, California.
Mejia’s professional debut was nothing short of spectacular, with a highlight-reel knockout that left fans and promoters alike in awe. But it’s not just his skills in the ring that have people talking – Mejia has also proven to be a ticket-selling machine, with over 200 tickets sold for his first fight alone. And with his natural charisma and charm, he’s sure to generate even more excitement in the LA boxing scene.
But Mejia’s success is not just his own – his father, Drew Mejia, has been by his side since the beginning. Together, they have learned the sport of boxing and built a strong support system of friends and family. Despite not being wealthy, they have managed to sell hundreds of tickets for each of Mejia’s fights, a testament to their hard work and dedication.
Recently, Mejia made the decision to leave his coach and have his father take on a more prominent role in his training. This change has allowed for a more balanced and supportive approach, with Drew Mejia realizing the added pressure he was putting on his son and making adjustments accordingly.
With an impressive amateur record of 42-8, Mejia is now under the guidance of Tom Loeffler, who has helped guide some of the biggest names in boxing, including Gennady Golovkin and the Klitschko brothers. And while Mejia may come from a rougher area of Orange County, he sees the beauty in his hometown and is determined to make a positive impact through his boxing career.
But for Mejia, it’s not just about fame and fortune – his goal is to stay active and fight as often as possible. He hopes to finish this year with a record of 7-0 or 8-0 and challenge for a regional title next year. And with the support of his father and the backing of 360 Promotions, there’s no doubt that Mejia is on his way to becoming the next big thing in LA boxing.
