Hollywood, FL (July 21, 2025) – The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood is set to ignite with professional boxing action as “Fists of Fury 7” brings a night of high-stakes matchups. Headlining the event is a compelling 10-round lightweight clash featuring two undefeated powerhouses: Miami’s own
Armando Martinez Rabi (15-0, 14 KOs) and Colombia’s formidable Albeiro Paredes (14-0, 12 KOs). This bout is widely anticipated to deliver an explosive finish.
Tickets for “Fists of Fury 7” are currently available via Ticketmaster, with prices beginning at $98. The action kicks off at 7:00 PM, with doors opening at 6:30 PM.
Martinez Rabi, the WBA #5-ranked lightweight, returns to the ring fresh off a dominant performance in April where he stopped former two-time world title challenger Alberto Guevara in three rounds, successfully defending his WBC and WBA Continental Lightweight Championships. The 30-year-old Cuban native, now a fan favorite in Miami, boasts an impressive amateur pedigree from the Cuban National Team, having also competed in the World Series of Boxing and Team Combat League. Known for his elusive yet powerful style, Martinez Rabi has recorded 14 knockouts in his 15 professional victories since his 2021 debut, including a WBC Latin Championship win. His early career saw nine fights take place in Dubai before his move to the United States.
Facing him is the equally impressive Albeiro Paredes. The 28-year-old Colombian, who has exclusively fought in his home country, brings a perfect record and significant knockout power, with 12 KOs in his 14 wins. A former Colombian elite team member and national amateur champion, Paredes turned pro in 2019. He claimed the Colombian National Championship in July 2023 with a fifth-round knockout and added the WBA Fedecaribe Super Featherweight Championship in March 2023, which he successfully defended in June 2024.
