Matias, the IBF super lightweight champion, recently made the transition from PBC to Matchroom and is poised to make his Matchroom debut against the formidable Paro. Paro, hailing from Australia, boasts an impressive record, with notable victories including a devastating knockout of compatriot Brock Jarvis and a six-round stoppage of Montana Love. After discussions with various opponents, Paro emerged as the frontrunner to challenge Matias, with talks reportedly stalling before ultimately coming to fruition.

Cruz emphasized Matias's readiness for the upcoming bout, noting that Matias is already undergoing rigorous training in Mexico. While Paro was selected for the voluntary defense, Matchroom remains open to potential matchups with other top contenders in the super lightweight division, including Devin Haney, Rolando Romero, and Teofimo Lopez. With the stage set for an electrifying showdown in Puerto Rico, fans can anticipate a thrilling battle between Matias and Paro as they vie for supremacy in the super lightweight division. #SubrielMatias #LiamParo #Boxing
