WBA Future lands in Barranquilla this Saturday – World Boxing Association

The iconic Gimnasio Cuadrilátero Élite will roll out the red carpet for another edition of the WBA Future program this Saturday, an initiative created by the World Boxing Association to spotlight the next generation of regional boxing talent. The card, blending the experience of rising prospects with the unpredictability of fresh faces, promises an action-packed afternoon in Colombia’s “Golden Gate.”

One of the featured matchups of the evening will see Yeider Gómez square off against Leider Galvis in a pivotal showdown for both fighters, who are eager to climb the national rankings and prove they have what it takes to break onto the international stage. The bout shapes up as a compelling clash in which Gómez’s technical skills will be tested against the aggression and determination of Galvis inside a venue historically recognized as the breeding ground of world champions.

Another highly anticipated moment will come with the professional debuts of Danny Barraza and Jorge Padilla. Both young fighters will make their first appearance in the paid ranks, a transition that always generates intrigue among analysts and fight fans alike. Launching their careers on a WBA-backed event adds another layer of pressure and motivation as they look to make a strong first impression in the pro game.

The card will also feature a matchup between John Wampash and Victor Malaver, a battle between two boxers aiming to sharpen their styles and add meaningful victories during this crucial developmental stage of their careers. Three additional bouts will round out the event, providing a complete platform for emerging regional talent to showcase their physical and technical preparation under the supervision of World Boxing Association officials.

With this event at the Cuadrilátero Élite Gym, the WBA once again reaffirms its commitment to grassroots boxing development in Colombia, creating the right conditions for the next generation of champions to begin writing their own stories inside the squared circle.
