Jose Angel Guerrero has punched his way into new career representation.
The unbeaten 21-year-old, Tijuana native has inked a co-promotional contract with Sampson Lewkowicz’s Sampson Boxing and Eric Ibarra’s TM Boxing, both parties confirmed on Tuesday. The development comes less than two weeks after Guerrero, 11-0 (9 KOs) delivered a 2nd round knockout of fellow unbeaten prospect Jose Andres Baca on a March 7 ProBox TV card in Los Cabos, Mexico.
With the signing, Guerrero is expected to return to the ProBox TV circuit for his next outing.

“First and foremost, I am grateful to Mr. Sampson Lewkowicz and Mr. Garry Jonas for this tremendous opportunity to showcase my talents on one of the most prominent platforms in the boxing world: ProBoxTV,” said Guerrero. “My thanks also go to Eric Ibarra and my trainer, who have stood by my side since the beginning of my career.”
Guerrero turned pro in December 2023 and rapidly emerged as must-see TV due to his aggressive style.
The unbeaten junior welterweight has gone six rounds twice but has yet to be extended beyond the 4th round in any fight that ended in a stoppage – and that’s only occurred once. His last three contests have all resulted in knockout victories inside of two rounds.
The signing marks the latest joint venture between Sampson Boxing and TM Boxing, who also co-promote unbeaten contenders Isaac Lucero and Erik Badillo.
Lucero is with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), while Badillo is already a frequent flyer on the ProBox circuit. The hope is that all of the abovementioned entities can continue to work together to further advance Guerrero from prospect to contender.
“I was very impressed by José Ángel Guerrero’s performance on ProBoxTV and look forward to helping him develop his promising career, along with my two great partners, Eric Ibarra and Garry Jonas,” said Lewkowicz. “Jose represents another hard-punching young fighter who will become a force in the super lightweight division before long.”
Added Ibarra: ““I am very pleased to continue fostering this friendship and collaboration with Sampson Lewkowicz. Just as we have done with Erik Badillo and Isaac “Puro México” Lucero, we will now be guiding the career of José Ángel Guerrero together, aiming to elevate his profile internationally.
“It is important to mention that Garry Jonas of PROBOX TV recently joined this great team. He played a pivotal role in finalizing this agreement and the same will hold true for our future Mexican prospects.”
The sentiment is shared by those who run the platform which he figures to frequent in the coming months.
“Sampson and TM Boxing are doing a great job recruiting and cultivating talent for ProBoxTV,” said Jonas, who founded ProBox in 2022. “We look forward to having Guerrero perform on our platform.”
