Aarón Alameda

Aarón Alameda López (born 18 August 1993) is a Mexican professional boxer who challenged for the WBC super bantamweight title in 2020.

Early life Born into a family of boxers in Nogales, Sonora, Alameda naturally followed them to the gym and began boxing at the age of 13. The Mexican would get his revenge three years later, defeating Alameda in the same event for the gold. Alameda won gold medals at a total of three National Olympics as well as the 2013 National Championships.

Professional career Alameda made his professional debut on 5 April 2014, defeating José Luis Leal by third-round technical knockout (TKO) in Magdalena, Sonora. He ended the year with his sixth straight stoppage victory, a first-round knockout (KO) of Iván Vázquez in Monterrey. With a record of 23–0, he received his first title shot on 8 December 2018, defeating Venezuelan veteran Breilor Terán for the WBC FECARBOX interim super bantamweight title on the main event of a Televisa Deportes Sábados de Box card in his hometown of Nogales.

He fought only once in 2019, a third-round KO of Nicaraguan journeyman Jordan Escobar in April. He was scheduled to fight Luis Nery in a Showtime-televised WBC super bantamweight title eliminator in March 2020, but the show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
