Dylan “La Amenaza” Capetillo is already carving out a name for himself as one of Las Vegas’ most promising young fighters!

Only three weeks after his pro debut, Capetillo stepped back onto one of boxing’s biggest stages, fighting on the David Benavidez vs. Gilberto Ramirez undercard and securing a unanimous decision victory at T-Mobile Arena. The 17-year-old turned pro in April 2026 shortly after signing with Golden Boy Promotions, immediately turning heads with a first-round TKO victory in his debut at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

Capetillo was introduced to boxing at the age of eight and developed his skills under the guidance of his father, Jorge, at their family-run Capetillo Boxing Gym. He built an impressive amateur resume, highlighted by three WBC amateur championships that reflected both his natural ability and disciplined work ethic.

Now translating that foundation into the professional ranks, Capetillo carries that calm, focused approach into the ring and is rapidly emerging as a young fighter to watch as he continues his rise.
