AGON Sports returns to the Trui Teatre in Mallorca. The event will feature two title fights: Hamsat Shadalov will face Pedro Manuel Gomes over twelve rounds, with the IBF Intercontinental super featherweight title at stake. Paul Wall will also make the first defense of his IBF European super welterweight title. His opponent over ten rounds will be Finland’s Tomi Silvennoinen. In addition to the two title bouts, Cuban heavyweight Carlos “Hulk” Castillo (11 wins) will also return to the ring. The hard-hitting AGON boxer will compete in an eight-round bout in Mallorca against Uruguay’s Mauricio Nicolas Barragan.
For Castillo, the main objective is to stay active and continue making steady progress toward another title fight. The Cuban scored an important victory in May, when he captured the WBA Fedelatin heavyweight title. With that win, Castillo reinforced his ambitions to climb further up the international rankings step by step. The fight against Barragan will provide another opportunity to assess his progress. Castillo wants to gain more rounds, continue developing, and put himself in contention for bigger challenges. In the heavyweight division in particular, staying active can be crucial to positioning oneself for international title opportunities.
With his ring name “Hulk,” Castillo represents physical strength and pressure inside the ring. In Mallorca, he will aim to demonstrate once again why AGON Sports has high hopes for the Cuban and intends to develop him toward major title fights over the long term. A convincing victory over Barragan would lay the groundwork for another opportunity to fight for an international belt in the near future. In addition to Castillo, spectators in Mallorca can look forward to a strong card. Two undefeated AGON professionals, Hamsat Shadalov and Paul Wall, will compete in title fights, while Castillo continues his pursuit of the next major opportunity in the heavyweight division.
Additional bouts and opponents for Mallorca Fight Night II will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets are available HERE .
