Rising Filipino boxer Esneth Domingo is brimming with excitement as he prepares for his highly anticipated debut in the United States, having secured a coveted training stint at the legendary Wild Card Gym in California. This gym is owned by the renowned American trainer Freddie Roach, adding a significant boost to Domingo's preparations.
Training for a Major Title Fight
Domingo is currently honing his skills at the Wild Card Gym for his first professional fight on American soil. He is set to face the undefeated American contender Abraham Perez on April 4, 2026. The bout will take place at the Embassy Suites in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, and will be contested for the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) Inter-Continental flyweight championship.
Coaching and Team Support
Guiding Domingo in this critical phase is his trainer and uncle, Michael Domingo, who leads the ZIP-Sanman Boxing Team. Esneth has expressed that training at Freddie Roach's gym has been a long-held dream, especially given Roach's storied history as the trainer of Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao.
High-Level Sparring Partners
To sharpen his abilities, Domingo has engaged in sparring sessions with former world title challenger John "Scrappy" Ramirez. Ramirez is currently ranked as the number one super-flyweight contender by the World Boxing Association (WBA), providing Domingo with invaluable experience against top-tier competition.
Fighters' Records and Stakes
Esneth Domingo brings a professional record of 22 wins and 4 losses, with 14 victories coming by way of knockout. In contrast, his opponent Abraham Perez boasts an undefeated record of 13 wins and 0 losses, including 7 knockouts.
