William Zepeda
Camaron
Bio
William Zepeda is a proper Mexican pressure fighter and one of the most exciting punchers at lightweight. The unbeaten southpaw throws absurd volume, marches opponents down, and breaks them with relentless body work and heavy hands. When Zepeda gets going, the output is suffocating — he simply does not stop coming.
Make no mistake, that work rate is a genuine weapon. Few fighters in the division can sustain the pace Zepeda sets, and over twelve rounds it wears people down and drags them into deep water. He fights the way the Mexican fans love — forward, fearless and all action.
The questions are about defence and what happens when he meets a slick boxer who can make him miss and counter. Zepeda takes risks to apply his pressure, and a sharp operator can make him pay. But his engine and his power mean he is never out of any fight.
On August 1 he meets the slick Lamont Roach Jr in Las Vegas, live on DAZN, for the vacant WBC lightweight title — a classic boxer-versus-puncher showdown. Zepeda will look to turn it into a war and impose his pace. Win, and he finally lands the world title his thrilling style has long deserved.
