Hayward's Aaron Coley will join the professional ranks on April 20 at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello, Calif., where he is scheduled to face converted kickboxer Jason Gonzalez in a middleweight bout, per matchmaker Edward Rodriquez.
"A lot of guys have been pulling out left and right, so we'll see if it's the same guy come fight night," trainer Ben Bautista said. "Either way, we're excited to be heading to Montebello for Aaron's debut."
Coley, nicknamed "Heavy Metal" due to his raw punching power and his day job at his father's scrap yard, has been working on his craft diligently at SFC Boxing in downtown San Francisco. Ranked as high as sixth in the nation in the 165-pound middleweight division by USA Boxing, the former Central Pacific Regional champion will aim for even bigger prizes in the pros.
Gilroy junior welterweight Alonso Loeza (1-4-1, 1 KO) will also see action against Jaime Ocegueda Jr. (4-0, 2 KOs).
