Undefeated Spanish standout and former WBC Latino champion Brandon Moreno is set to return to the squared circle in a bid to reclaim his regional throne. Standing in his way is the heavy-handed Venezuelan prospect Albert Jugador. The 10-round minimumweight tilt is scheduled for Saturday, May 13.
The bout serves as the co-feature of a high-stakes card promoted by Olimpia Boxing and PCI Boxing Promotions, hosted at the Plaza de Toros in MĂłstoles, Madrid. The action-packed bill also features Urko Polo (6-1-1) taking on Alejandro Guardado (11-1) for another WBC Latino strap, while David GĂłmez (7-3-1) tests the undefeated Nassime Santiago (4-0).
Tale of the Tape
Brandon Moreno
Madrid’s own Brandon Moreno Núñez enters his first campaign of 2026 coming off a gritty majority decision win over British journeyman ValentĂn Marku last November. Earlier in 2025, Moreno turned in a clinical performance to shut out Venezuela’s Jean Fran Medina via unanimous decision.
At 33 years old, Moreno (15-0, 5 KOs) is a quintessential pure boxer. With a modest 33% knockout ratio, he relies on ring craftsmanship over raw power. For the Spaniard, a convincing victory is mandatory if he hopes to crack the upper echelon of the world rankings and secure the marquee matchups his career currently demands.
Albert Jugador
Representing the next wave of Venezuelan talent, Albert Manuel Jugador makes his highly anticipated international debut. This trip to Spain is a "sink or swim" moment for the young puncher; it’s the definitive test to see if he is a legitimate contender or merely a regional project. Jugador has already found success this year, coming off a blistering stoppage win over Jesus Tovar in March.
The 23-year-old Jugador (15-1, 13 KOs) enjoyed a destructive 2025 campaign, finishing every opponent put in front of him. His trail of victims last year included fourth-round dismissals of Denny Contreras, along with early nights for VĂctor Escalona, Ernic PadrĂłn, and Miguel Becerrit. With a massive advantage in stopping power, Jugador will look to silence the Madrid crowd and prove his power travels.
