Undefeated Boxer Jorge De Jesus Signs with Sampson Boxing - A Star is Born!

Kissimmee, Florida, USA - In an exciting turn of events in the boxing world, Sampson Boxing has signed undefeated super lightweight prospect Jorge De Jesus to an exclusive promotional contract. At just 23 years old, this Lawrenceville, Georgia native is ready to step into the limelight and represent his Puerto Rican roots on the global stage. De Jesus’s journey into the professional arena began in April 2022, after he completed a mere five amateur bouts, but he has already made significant strides in his young career.

Highlighting his early successes, De Jesus achieved a noteworthy victory in May 2025 against the previously unbeaten LaVonte Earley (18-0) at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida, an event broadcasted live on ProBox TV. Such wins only bolster his confidence; De Jesus openly expresses his focus on winning and feels that his hard work is finally paying off. He is well known for his speed, power, and explosive fighting style, which leaves fans eager for more.

The Support Behind the Boxer

De Jesus trains at Felipe Boxing Gym in Norcross, Georgia, under the expert guidance of trainer Alain Felipe, who has become a pillar of support in his life. „I couldn’t have done this without my coach,“ De Jesus says, emphasizing the family-like bond that has been pivotal in his development. His manager, Andy Sun, played a crucial role in securing his contract with Sampson Boxing, having established a connection with promoter Sampson Lewkowicz, who sees immense potential in the young fighter.

But De Jesus is not just a boxer; he’s also a student at Emory University, where he studies civil engineering. Balancing academics and boxing, he aims to make his family proud while considering the long-term impact of his efforts. His plans include visiting family in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, who have supported him since the beginning of his boxing journey.

A Legacy of Puerto Rican Excellence

Jorge De Jesus joins a storied lineage of Puerto Rican boxers who have made an indelible mark on the sport. Boxing holds a revered place in Puerto Rico’s culture, producing more amateur and professional world champions than any other sport. In fact, Puerto Rico ranks fifth globally for the number of boxing world champions, trailing only behind the USA, Mexico, the UK, and Japan. Impressively, the island achieved a remarkable milestone in 2004 by having at least one world champion in all 17 current boxing weight divisions (excluding Bridgerweight) reports Wikipedia.

Noteworthy champions like Wilfredo Gómez and Wilfred Benítez paved the way with exceptional records and groundbreaking achievements, such as Benítez becoming the youngest world champion at just 17 years old. Contemporary stars like Miguel Cotto and Amanda Serrano continue to elevate Puerto Rico’s boxing prestige. In fact, Serrano became the first Undisputed world champion in a single division in 2023, showcasing the island’s ongoing contribution to the sport.

As De Jesus looks to establish his name among these champions, he is hopeful to achieve rankings by next year and ultimately become a rising star for Puerto Rico. With plans to return to the ring by late summer or early fall under Sampson Boxing’s banner, there’s undoubtedly excitement surrounding the potential of this young talent says Fight Nights.
