One of boxing’s most explosive stars has a new home — and it could reshape the division.
Wise Owl Boxing continues its rapid rise in the sport with a major signing, bringing in former world champion Julio César Martínez.
A Statement Signing
Martínez, widely regarded as one of the most exciting and fan-friendly fighters in boxing, adds immediate firepower to an already impressive Wise Owl roster.
Known as “El Rey,” he joins a stable filled with top contenders, emerging prospects, and Olympians — further strengthening Wise Owl’s growing reputation as a serious force in fighter management.
The Team Behind the Move
Wise Owl Boxing is led by Mark Habibi, with Martínez set to be co-managed by respected boxing figure Miguel Lopez.
Together, the team has a clear vision: guiding Martínez back to the top of the sport.
“We’re very excited about this signing,” said Habibi.
“Julio Cesar Martinez is a proven world champion with a massive fan base and a style that fans love. He brings energy, personality, and excitement every time he steps into the ring. Our goal is clear — to bring him back to the championship level and help him regain a world title.”
A Fan-Favorite Style
Martínez has built his reputation on an aggressive, high-pressure style combined with serious knockout power.
His all-action approach — along with his charisma and larger-than-life personality — has made him a must-watch fighter for fans around the world.
That combination of skill and entertainment value makes him a perfect fit for a growing brand like Wise Owl Boxing.
Road Back to the Top
With a new team in place, Martínez is now positioned for a strong return to the championship picture.
Opportunities at the highest level are expected to follow as he looks to reclaim world title status.
“This is a huge addition to our team,” Habibi added.
“We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Wise Owl family and excited for what’s ahead.”
Wise Owl’s Rapid Rise
This signing is another clear signal that Wise Owl Boxing is becoming one of the sport’s most influential management companies.
By assembling a roster filled with elite-level talent and proven champions, the company continues to build momentum — and Martínez may be its biggest statement yet.
