UNDEFEATED Eumir Felix Marcial faces local contender Omar Ulises Huerta on Sept. 19 at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California. The 10-round middleweight bout serves as part of the undercard for the Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz vs. Nestor Bravo main event.
International dealmaker Sean Gibbons confirmed Tuesday that Marcial’s World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight international belt — and likely another vacant regional title — will be at stake.
“This is going to be the most important fight in his eighth professional career bout, as he was never seen in USA television before. Everybody will be watching him closely so he must look absolutely good. It is going to be a big moment,” Gibbons said.
DAZN Worldwide and TNT will broadcast Marcial’s fight in the United States for the first time, leading into the Cruz-Bravo WBC super lightweight championship fight, promoted by Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).
Marcial holds an undefeated 7-0 record with 4 knockouts. His last professional fight was a majority decision victory over Venezuela’s Eddy Colmenares ten months ago at the Araneta Coliseum.
He also secured the lone boxing gold medal for the Philippines at the 2025 Bangkok Southeast Asian Games.
“I am going for 8-0 on September 19, and I will make everyone know who I am inside the ring. This is the fight that I am longing for, a fight that will head me toward the promise land by next year,” the 30-year-old Marcial said.
San Diego native Huerta enters the fight with a 15-1-1 record, including 13 knockouts.
