Antonio Perez: Boxing Career and Notable Fights
Antonio Perez is a lightweight boxer from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, whose professional career began in 2021.
An early professional run
Perez began his professional career in Mexico in July 2021, defeating Martin Romero Garcia. He subsequently competed in the Dominican Republic and Pennsylvania before building a run of appearances on Florida cards. Known as “Bam Bam,” he brought a successful amateur background into the paid ranks.
Red Owl Boxing identifies Perez as a three-time national amateur champion. A December 2023 proclamation from Dauphin County also recognized those amateur titles, his graduation from Central Dauphin High School, and his training at Harrisburg’s Capital Punishment Boxing Club. The proclamation highlighted the mentoring role he and his twin brother played for younger local fighters.
On December 2, 2023, Perez defeated Haskell Rhodes over ten rounds in Miami. Dauphin County celebrated the result as a WBC International lightweight title victory. Florida’s commission results confirm that Perez won by unanimous decision, providing an official record of the contest.
His development continued with a decision over Antonio Williams in June 2024 and another against Alex Martin in Houston on June 6, 2025. The Texas commission recorded scores of 80–72 from all three judges in the Martin bout. These longer contests added rounds against experienced opposition as Perez progressed beyond his initial professional assignments.
By April 2026, his record stood at eleven wins and one loss after a split-decision defeat to Abraham Montoya. That result introduced a setback into a career that had previously remained unbeaten, while leaving his regional title achievements and amateur accomplishments intact.
Further career results
The Rhodes contest was held at Casino Miami Jai-Alai on December 2, 2023. The event’s published results give Perez a unanimous decision with all three judges scoring it 100–88. Reports of the card recorded two knockdowns in the final round. These details identify the specific ten-round victory recognized by the Dauphin County proclamation, rather than a separate bout against another fighter named Perez.
