(March 23rd) Frontwave Arena and G2G Promotions announced the opponent for surging San Diego-born prospect Julius "JuJu" Ballo (2-0), as he prepares to co-headline SD Fight Night: Family Business with his cousin Jonny Mansour (6-0, 2 KOs) on Saturday, April 18 in Oceanside, Calif.

Tickets for SD Fight Night: Family Business are on sale now at AXS.com. The first fight of the evening begins at 5 p.m. PT, and broadcast and streaming details will be announced shortly.

Touting an uber-successful amateur campaign that consists of 60 bouts, Julius “JuJu” Ballo made his professional debut at the world-famous Madison Square Garden Theater last year, dominating Brandan Ayala en route to a unanimous decision victory. In a sophomore outing further cementing his status as a future star, the 2024 Golden Gloves Champion faced Juan Centeno, a rugged veteran nearly ten years his senior and with 40 more professional fights than the young Southern Californian. Now with two statement unanimous decision victories under his belt, “JuJu” will meet Santa Ana, Calif. native Roman Reyes (6-1,5 KOs) in a super featherweight attraction.

In a significant step up in opponent for Ballo, the heavy-handed Reyes sports five knockout victories, most recently scoring a fourth-round stoppage over Matias Agustin Arriagada one year ago, further highlighting his fight stopping power. Kicking off his career with four straight knockouts, Reyes has established himself as a dangerous opponent and the toughest test of Ballo’s young professional career. The California-born Reyes now resides and trains out of Greenville, S.C., and enters the bout intent on playing spoiler, looking to derail Ballo’s momentum on what is expected to be a pivotal night in the rising prospect’s hometown on the first edition of SD Fight Night.

“Roman Reyes is a great opponent. He has five knockouts in his six victories as a pro,” said Ballo. “I respect that, but he’s going to learn that it’s different when he gets in the ring with me. I’m on a whole different level and he and my hometown fans are going to see that April 18 at Frontwave Arena.”

In addition, Frontwave Arena and G2G Promotions have announced two additional bouts to join the stacked fight card. In a super lightweight affair, Oceanside, Calif.’s own Kyle Erwin (10-3, 5 KOs) prepares to face Jose Marrufo (15-18-2, 2 KOs) right in his backyard. Meanwhile, undefeated super bantamweight prospect Richard Fernandez Jr. (4-0, 3 KOs) of San Antonio will welcome the Philippines’ Sugary Montales (6-2, 4 KOs) stateside for his first professional fight in the U.S.

San Diego’s rising star Jonny Mansour (6-0, 2 KOs) returns to the ring for the first time in 2026 when he takes on seasoned veteran William King (6-3-2, 3 KOs) of Lynwood, Calif. in an 8-round lightweight tilt.

Following a breakout 2025 campaign, Mansour, 25, has emerged as one of the most promising prospects in the star-studded lightweight division. While his dominant professional run has recently drawn widespread attention, Mansour’s journey in the sport began at just eight years old. He compiled more than 140 amateur victories, rising to become Team USA’s top-ranked lightweight and serving as an Olympic alternate during the 2020 Olympic cycle. A National Golden Gloves champion, Mansour also represented the United States internationally while pursuing studies in business and finance at San Diego State University’s Fowler College of Business. On Saturday, April 18, Mansour aims to take the next step in his young career when he performs near his home of La Mesa, Calif.

Standing opposite the hometown hero, 30-year-old, King will make the short trip south looking to hand the undefeated prospect his first loss. Making his professional debut in 2021, King picked up five victories in his first six bouts, including three by way of unanimous decision and two knockouts. Though he came up short in his most recent outing, King delivered a devastating first round knockout against Markus Bowes in July 2025, a reminder that the Perris, Calif., resident remains a dangerous opponent.

Angel Munoz (8-2, 6 KOs), a hard-hitting super welterweight from Oceanside, returns to fight in front of his hometown crowd when he takes on Cruz Becerra Monteon (3-1, 1 KO) in a six-round contest. Known for his aggressive style and knockout power, Munoz will look to deliver another statement performance just miles from where he grew up, feeding off the energy of local fans as he continues building momentum in the division.

In addition, Pomona, Calif. native Isaac Anguiano (10-1-1, 4 KOs) squares off against Jose Negrete (4-2, 4 KOs) in a bantamweight contest. On the strength of seven-straight victories, Anguiano will meet Hanford, Calif.’s Negrete whose all four victories have come by way of knockout. Meanwhile, San Diego-born super lightweight Jose Chollet (6-2, 4 KOs) aims to insert himself back in the win column against Jose Cruz (2-3, 1 KO).

Also in the super lightweight division, John Ornelas (5-2-1, 2 KOs) takes on Bahamas’ grizzled veteran Lester Brown (5-4, 3 KOs). A career spanning over a decade, Brown returns to the ring for the first time following a two-year layoff in front of Ornelas hometown crowd. Kicking off the action for the evening, Vista, Calif. resident via Mexico Franklin Garcia (1-0, 1 KO) reenters the fray in a quick turnaround following his dominant professional debut in February when he faces off against Rahmel McKinley (1-2).
