The boxing scene in Laredo and throughout the 956 is hotter than a pistol, and one of the region's brightest and most exciting stars is set to return to the ring and on a major card. 27-year-old Jorge Castaneda will return to the squared circle next Wednesday at the Whitesands Event Center in Plant City, Florida, as part of the PROBOX TV series. Castaneda, a Laredoan, scored two big-time wins in 2021, upsetting not one but two of Eddie Hearn's prized prospects. He upset Otha Jones in April of that year and came back in October, and upset Youssef Khoumari. The Texan then suffered his first career loss to Eduardo Hernandez in June 2022. The South Texan was then out of the ring for 14 months with a new trainer, the trainer of legendary little man Chocolatio, Marcos Caballero, and Castaneda looked spectacular in his return. In his first fight in his native city in over four years, Castaneda scored a vicious 8th-round KO of the undefeated Nestor Medellin at the Sames Auto Arena. Now, the 27-year-old will return with a major challenge! A win could propel him into the world title picture. On the 29th of November, Castaneda will take on 28-year-old Puerto Rican prospect Orlando Gonzalez. Gonzalez sports a 21-2 (12) record and has won three fights in a row since his loss at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on an ESPN Televised Top Rank card to Misael Lopez. Gonzlaez's last fight was in July, and the Puerto Rican outboxed Ramiro Cesena over ten rounds to pick up a unanimous decision victory.
