The undefeated Federico Pacheco Jr. (9-0, 6 KOs) is a 21-year-old rising star in the heavyweight division fighting out of South Central, Los Angeles. Pacheco has quickly made a name for himself in the boxing world, known for his powerful punches and impressive ring presence. He’s also the younger brother of undefeated super middleweight contender Diego Pacheco, and like his sibling, he’s determined to make his mark in the sport.

Pacheco signed with Golden Boy Promotions in early 2025 and made his promotional debut that March at Fantasy Springs, where he earned a unanimous decision victory over Arnulfo Cazares. Wasting no time, he returned to the ring just two months later, securing another unanimous decision win – this time over Calvin Barnett on the undercard of Fulghum vs. Melikuziev at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Pacheco has remained active, continuing to build momentum in the early stages of his professional career.

With a promising future ahead, Pacheco continues to hone his skills, aiming for greatness as he climbs the ranks in the heavyweight division. Despite a limited amateur background, he has proven himself by sparring with heavyweight champions and contenders as a teenager, including Zhilei Zhang, Frank Sanchez and Arslanbek Makhmudov.
