Mauricio Lara vs Carlos Ornelas set for August 29 super‑featherweight bout in Guadalajara

Former WBA featherweight champion Mauricio “Bronco” Lara will face fellow Mexican Carlos Ornelas in a 10‑round super‑featherweight main event on August 29 at the Complejo Deportivo Artes Marciales in Guadalajara, Mexico. The fight, announced by Matchroom Boxing, will be streamed worldwide on DAZN.

Lara entered the matchup on a four‑fight winning streak, all by stoppage, after losing his title to Leigh Wood in May 2023. The bout is presented as an opportunity to rebuild his career, while Ornelas, who TKO‑ed Lamberto Macías Meza in February, said he aims to send Lara “into retirement.” Both fighters hope to improve their rankings in the division.
