Anthony Martinez Carries Miami and Cuban Roots Into the Ring
Anthony “White Chocolate” Martinez built his professional boxing career from Miami, with Cuban family roots and training at Mundo Boxing. His breakthrough regional championship came on March 6, 2021, when he defeated Evert Bravo to become WBO Latino cruiserweight champion.
Career highlights
Born in Miami on January 8, 1999, Martinez grew up in a family from Havana. His official biography describes an early introduction to boxing and amateur success that included state Golden Gloves competitions. He later joined Mundo Boxing, working with trainer Pedro Diaz.
Martinez made his professional debut on February 24, 2018. His biography identifies victories over Fulgencio Zuniga on November 18, 2019, and Milton Nunez on January 17, 2020, as notable steps in his development. Those meetings placed him opposite veterans before his regional-title opportunity.
Championship milestones
The win over Bravo brought Martinez the WBO Latino cruiserweight belt. His official account also records a successful first defense against Christian Galvez on June 4, 2021, continuing the momentum of that championship year.
His fighter specifications page lists WBA-NABA and IBO Ibero-American heavyweight championships alongside the WBO Latino honor. These regional achievements reflect a career that crossed from cruiserweight into heavyweight competition. The Miami background, Cuban family connection and Mundo Boxing training remain central parts of the identity he presents to supporters.
