The Albuquerque boxing scene returns to center stage on Saturday, April 4, 2026, as The Legacy Continues III takes place at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Albuquerque in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Promoted by Legacy Boxing Promotions, the card features a compelling main event title fight and a co-main event showcasing one of the city’s veteran fighters, along with a lineup of local prospects eager to make their mark.
Main Event: Abraham “Hammer” Perez vs. Esnet Domingo
Headlining the event is a high-stakes 10-round flyweight bout for the vacant IBF Intercontinental Flyweight Championship. Undefeated hometown standout Abraham Perez (13-0, 7 KOs) will face experienced Filipino contender Esnet Domingo (22-4, 14 KOs).
Perez, known locally as “Hammer,” has steadily built momentum in the flyweight division while fighting in front of supportive Albuquerque crowds. With an undefeated record and an aggressive style, the 26-year-old now faces the biggest challenge of his career as he fights for his first major professional title.
Standing in his way is the dangerous and battle-tested Domingo, who brings knockout power and international experience to the ring. The Filipino veteran has fought numerous tough opponents across Asia and is known for his ability to pressure opponents and end fights with his power. For Perez, the matchup represents an opportunity to prove he can compete at an international level while capturing championship gold in front of his hometown fans.
Co-Main Event: Josh Torres Returns to the Ring
In the six-round co-feature, Albuquerque veteran Josh Torres (28-7, 15 KOs, 2 D) takes on Mexico’s Gerardo Alberto Fuentes (4-14, 7 KOs) in a super welterweight clash.
Torres, nicknamed “Pitbull,” has long been a recognizable figure in the New Mexico boxing scene, bringing experience and toughness to every fight. With nearly 40 professional bouts under his belt, Torres continues to test himself against durable opponents while entertaining local fans with his aggressive style.
Fuentes, fighting out of Matamoros, Mexico, enters the bout looking to spoil the hometown celebration. Despite a challenging record, the Mexican fighter has proven capable of landing heavy punches and pushing opponents into tough exchanges.

An all-Albuquerque lightweight matchup will see Angelo Valencia (1-0) face Andres Rey (5-1, 1 KO) in a four-round contest that could become one of the night’s most competitive fights.
