Diego 'El Androide' Jiménez Prepares for August 1 Fight After Unbeaten 5-0 Boxing Start

Backed by Club América’s blessing, he enters his August 1 bout sporting a flawless 5-0 record with three knockouts.

Overview

  • At 17, Jiménez left his role as Club América’s U-15 goalkeeper in Coapa when the pandemic paused youth football to begin boxing.
  • He has maintained an undefeated 5-0 professional record with three knockouts and is scheduled to fight again on August 1.
  • Club América formally acknowledged his transition to boxing by encouraging him with the message “si eso es lo que te gusta, adelante.”
  • The reflexes, agility and discipline honed as a keeper have helped him adapt quickly to boxing and avoid early damage in the ring.
  • Inspired by Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Márquez, he emphasizes steady progress and aims to reach major venues such as Las Vegas.
