Antonio Lozada Jr. (born May 15, 1992) is a Mexican professional boxer. He is considered one of the best prospects to come from Mexico. [1]

Contents

Personal life

Nicknamed Cañitas after his father Cañas which is Spanish for sugar cane. His father, Antonio Lozada Sr., is a boxing agent who mans the career of Lozada Jr. and also of newly crowned three time world champion Humberto Soto as well as practically every top prospect in the Mexican town of Tijuana which includes Marvin Quintero. [2]

Professional career

Lozada turned professional at only sixteen years of age. [3] His eighteenth victory came in Cozumel, going the distance with Tomas Sierra. [4] In 2009 he was not very busy due to a nasal operation but in October of that year he fought Salvador Carreon winning by third-round TKO. [5]

He headlined his first nationally televised card in April 2010 on Televisa, [6] where he won the WBC FECARBOX light welterweight title by defeating the veteran Colombian Henry Aurad via second-round TKO. [7]

On June 25, 2011 Lozada faced then-undefeated Roberto Ortiz for the WBC Silver light welterweight title. [8] [9]

On March 17, 2018, Lozada knocked out Puerto Rico prospect Felix Verdejo in 10 rounds.
