EL PASO, TX (June 4, 2026) โ Promising young talent Kayla Gomez of El Paso, Texas, is poised to embark on the next phase of her boxing career. The accomplished amateur is scheduled to make her professional debut on Friday, June 19, 2026, at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California.
Fighting under the moniker “The Truth,” Gomez will compete in a scheduled four-round super flyweight bout against an opponent yet to be announced. This fight is part of MF Pro’s inaugural United States event, “Pugilist Revolution,” which will be broadcast live on DAZN.
Gomez solidified her status as a top prospect for Team USA by winning the inaugural Junior Pan American Games female flyweight gold medal in 2021. Her impressive amateur record, coupled with her strong work ethic, technical proficiency, and competitive drive, has marked her as one of the most exciting emerging talents in amateur boxing.
As her professional debut approaches, Gomez expressed her eagerness to showcase her skills on a larger platform. “This is a moment I’ve anticipated my entire life. Every sacrifice, every early morning training session, and every competitive fight has led me to this opportunity. I am thrilled, driven, and ready to demonstrate the results of my hard work. Fans can expect a fighter who is hungry, disciplined, and determined to make an immediate impact.”
Gomez believes her extensive amateur experience has provided a solid foundation for her transition to the professional ranks. “I’ve dedicated years to honing my abilities and understanding all facets of the sport. Now, it’s time to execute on a grander stage. I want to convey the passion I bring to the ring and explain why I’m known as ‘The Truth.’ This debut signifies the beginning of my journey, and I am committed to leaving an unforgettable impression.”
Her training camp for this pivotal professional fight has been described as one of the most challenging and rewarding of her career. “This training camp has been exceptionally rigorous and highly beneficial. My team and I understand the significance of this first professional bout, so we’ve trained with utmost dedication daily. Our focus has been on achieving peak physical condition and ensuring I’m fully prepared for any challenge my opponent presents on fight night.”
The intensity of her training camp has further boosted Gomez’s confidence heading into June 19. “I’ve never felt so prepared. The effort we’ve invested instills confidence because I know I’ve earned this chance. Each day in camp has strengthened me both mentally and physically. I am entering this fight with the assurance that I have done everything possible to be ready for my professional debut.”
While Gomez is concentrating on the immediate task, she recognizes the importance of starting her professional career with a victory. “A win would be immensely meaningful, validating all the hard work invested in reaching this point. However, I understand this is merely the first step. My ultimate aspiration is to build a successful career and ultimately become a world champion.”
Gomez views her debut as a chance to establish momentum and introduce herself to the global boxing community. “Securing a victory on June 19 would provide a strong platform for future growth. It would demonstrate to my promoter, fans, and everyone watching that I am ready for this level. More importantly, it would mark the initial chapter in what I believe will be an extended and successful professional journey.”
The opportunity to make her professional debut on a globally recognized platform like DAZN is not lost on Gomez. “It is a tremendous privilege to begin my professional career on DAZN. Not every fighter receives the chance to perform in front of a national and international audience from the outset. Knowing that viewers worldwide can tune in further motivates me to deliver an exceptional performance.”
Gomez intends to maximize this exposure and aims to leave a lasting impression on fans watching. “This is my opportunity to introduce myself to the boxing world. I want fans to witness my skills, my heart, and my determination. After the fight concludes, I want people to be discussing Kayla ‘The Truth’ Gomez and anticipating my future appearances. That is the kind of impact I intend to make on June 19.”
