Francis a native of Miami, Florida again showed his willingness to go on the road, traveling cross country to California for his bout. This is nothing new for Francis, who has previously traveled and won multiple times internationally during his professional career. Francis will now campaign in the 130lb division where he expects to do big things in 2025.

Congratulations Dominique you are coming off a dominant knockout of a previously undefeated Julio Carrera Lugo. What was the key to this performance?

They key to this performance was to remain me & execute the game plan, like I always say when I do what I’m capable of anyone gone have a hard time.

You are 16-0 the hard way meaning you haven’t been aligned with a big promoter and have taken fights on short notice and on the road. Before Stockton, you fought in Mexico, Argentina and Colombia? What’s that been like?

It’s been a journey, it ain’t been easy at all but its apart of my story. Its builds the character of a champion and that’s what has been done. If it’s easy it’s not worth having!

Prior to turning pro at 18 you had a lot of success as a young fighter coming up in the amateurs. For the fans who don’t know tell us about some of the titles you won coming up?
