Homero Fonseca (born February 3, 1987, in Driscoll, Texas) is a Mexican American boxer in the Heavyweight division. He twice beat Raphael Butler in a National Golden Gloves Super Heavyweight Championship and is a highly touted heavyweight prospect.[1]
Pro career
In 2006, on a HBO boxing card with famous Mexican fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Jorge Arce, and James de La Rosa, Fonseca made his pro debut, taking a first-round T.K.O. victory over veteran Tim Harris.[2] On September 4, 2008, Fonseca bested prospect Raphael Butler in a four-round fight; two months later, Fonseca again defeated Butler, winning a six-round decision.[3] In a fight with prospect Lenroy Thomas, Fonseca lost a very controversial six-round decision.[4]
Personal life
Fonseca is the son of two Mexican immigrants. His interest in boxing increased after winning backyard fights.[5]
