Lester Martínez meets photographer Julio NYC in Times Square

Guatemalan super middleweight boxer Lester Martínez, the interim WBC world champion, recently participated in a photo session in New York City's Times Square with content creator and photographer Julio NYC.

Martínez made history as the first Guatemalan boxer to win a world championship after defeating Immanuwel Aleem in March 2026. He subsequently defended his title against Luka Plantić in August 2026 via a tenth-round technical knockout.

During the encounter, Martínez shared reflections on his motivation, citing his childhood aspirations and his parents as primary drivers for his professional success.
