Three local promoters will stage an 11-fight boxing card in Tijuana this Friday, May 1, at the Jardín de la Candelaria. The event, billed as Noche de Box 56, is a joint production by Fábrica de Campeones, Guerreros Promotions, and 8 Count Media.
The main event pits Edwin “Loko” García against Edgar Gaspariano. Ten additional bouts round out what organizers are calling one of the largest cards in the long-running series.
A Recurring Series With Deep Local Roots
Noche de Box has reached its 56th edition, making it one of Tijuana’s most consistent grassroots boxing series. The events regularly take place at outdoor venues and public plazas across the city, drawing loyal neighborhood crowds and scouts looking for emerging talent.
Tijuana has long served as a proving ground for Mexican boxing. The city’s gyms have produced world champions and top contenders across multiple weight classes. Cards like Noche de Box give young fighters from both sides of the border a chance to build their records in front of a hometown audience.
What to Know Before You Go
The Jardín de la Candelaria is located in Tijuana’s Zona Centro, within walking distance of the Avenida Revolución tourist corridor. The outdoor plaza has hosted community events, markets, and past boxing cards. For those crossing from San Diego, the venue is roughly a 15-minute walk south of the PedWest pedestrian border crossing at El Chaparral.
May 1 is a public holiday in Mexico, Día del Trabajo (Labor Day), so expect heavier foot traffic in the Zona Centro throughout the day. Restaurants, bars, and street vendors in the surrounding blocks typically stay open and busy on holiday fight nights.
The collaboration between three separate promotional outfits for a single card is noteworthy. Fábrica de Campeones (“Factory of Champions”) and Guerreros Promotions both operate out of Tijuana, while 8 Count Media handles production and streaming. Previous editions of the series have been broadcast on social media platforms.
Specific bout times, ticket prices, and the full undercard lineup had not been published at the time of this report. Fans can check the promoters’ social media pages for last-minute updates.
