RECORD CROWD TARGETED FOR SUAREZ FEATURE BOUT IN SAN FRANCISCO

A historic boxing spectacle is set to take place in San Francisco on July 11, as organizers aim to break the long-standing American attendance record for a boxing event by drawing more than 135,000 spectators to Civic Center Plaza.

The massive outdoor boxing card will feature undefeated Filipino contender Charly Suarez as part of a world-class lineup designed to bring elite boxing action to a large-scale public audience.

Headlining the event is Anthony Olascuaga, who will defend his WBO flyweight world title against Andy Dominguez. Meanwhile, the unbeaten Suarez, carrying an impressive 18-0 professional record, will face American fighter Manuel Avila in the featured main undercard bout.

Promoter Ed Pereira described the upcoming event as an unprecedented showcase intended to place San Francisco at the forefront of the boxing world.

“This will be a show like the boxing world has never seen before,” Pereira said.
“San Francisco has always been a city that stands for something special, and on July 11, it will stand at the center of the boxing world.”

The current U.S. boxing attendance record is widely believed to belong to the 1941 clash between Tony Zale and Billy Pryor at Juneau Park, which reportedly attracted 135,132 fans.

Veteran promoter Sampson Lewkowicz is attached to the project alongside Pereira, while Hall of Fame boxer Christy Martin has also expressed support for the ambitious event.

“When he came to me with this event, I saw immediately what it could be,” Lewkowicz stated.
“This is not just a fight card, this is a statement.”

Organizers also confirmed that the event is expected to stream live on YouTube, with more fights and major announcements anticipated in the coming weeks.
