Long Beach: Third-Round KO.

Julius “JuJu” Ballo headlined Champions of Tomorrow at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California on Saturday, October 10, 2026 and stopped Carlos Torres (6–6–1) in the third round of a scheduled six-round featherweight bout. Referee Ray Corona waved it off in round three. It is the first knockout of Ballo’s professional career and moves him to 5–0.

“I want to thank all my fans here in LA. It’s JuJu time, baby!” Ballo said after the fight.

The card was presented by KO Boxing Productions and Red Boxing, with sponsors FightBook, Whiskey Pop and TORKLAW. In the co-main event, Ballo’s cousin and G2G Promotions co-founder Jonny Mansour beat George Rodriguez Pardo by unanimous decision over eight rounds (80–72, 80–72, 78–74).

His first four pro wins — Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles, Frontwave Arena and Detroit’s Fox Theatre — all went the distance on the cards. Full record →
