Is Dainier Pero A Future Heavyweight Great?

BoxLab Promotions has unbeaten heavyweight Dainier Pero (6-0, 4 KOs) back in the swing of things Friday, April 26, 2024. “Pero” will face off against Jose Mario Tamez (4-3, 1 KO) of Monterey, MX, in a fight scheduled for 6-rounds or less which will air on DAZN.

He came from Camaguey, Cuba, and Pero now calls Las Vegas home. He trains with Bob Santos, the 2023 Ring Magazine Trainer of the Year.

“I have big dreams of becoming the next heavyweight star, and every fight brings me one step closer to achieving that goal,” the Boxlab prospect Pero said. “I'm focused, hungry, and ready to showcase my skills in the ring. This is my time, I’m staying busy, and I won't let anything stand in my way.”
