The Tecate Box Tour hit Tijuana, MX, on Wednesday evening and to make its presence known, it invited former three time welterweight Antonio Margarito, former IBF light flyweight champion Ulises “Archie” Solis, former WBC interim super featherweight champion Humberto “Betillo” Gutierrez as well as some of this Friday’s “Guante Azteca” semi-finalists to partake in the festivities.

The fighters along with the Tecate girls paraded around the city of Tijuana in a caravan inviting all those who came out to greet them to the Tecate Box Tour which will be in town from Friday July 23rd to Sunday the 25th.

The Tour follows the steps of the NFL Experience in which boxing fans can try their boxing skill in different activities. The tour also boasts of two fight cards with the first being this Friday where the finalists for the regional bantamweight and light welterweight tournaments will be decided under the “Guante Azteca” banner. On Saturday, Baja Boxing will present “Full Impact” where four WBC FECARBOX titles will be disputed and televised nationally in Mexico by Televisa.
