Boxer Joshua Franco has been making waves in the world of professional boxing since his debut on August 6, 2015, where he fought and defeated Temoatzin Landeros via split-decision at the youthful age of 19. Since then, Franco has competed in a total of 23 fights, with an impressive record of 18 wins, one loss, three draws, and one no-contest. His remarkable KO win rate of 8 and having won one world title only adds to his growing success as a boxer.

Throughout his career, Franco has faced noteworthy opponents such as Andrew Moloney, Oscar Negrete, Jose Alejandro Burgos, Bryan Bazan, Marco Antonio Sanchez, and Isao Gonzalo Carranza. His most impressive victory came in June 2020, during his first world title fight at the super-flyweight level, where he dominated Andrew Moloney via a unanimous decision, earning himself the WBA (Regular) title.

Although Franco's career has seen many successes, it has also presented its share of setbacks. In March 2018, Franco experienced his first professional loss against Lucas Fernandez via a 9th round TKO after a 13-fight winning streak. Fernandez is the only boxer to have defeated Franco so far in his career.

In his most recent fight on December 31, 2022, Franco fought to defend his super-flyweight WBA (Regular) title and faced Japanese boxer Kazuto Ioka, who held the WBO title. After 12 grueling rounds, the judges scored the fight as a majority decision draw, where Franco was able to retain his title.

Throughout his career, Franco has shown an impressive level of expertise and skill inside the ring, with his fast footwork and accurate punches. He has established himself as a formidable opponent in the super-flyweight division, proving his strength and resilience with his impressive KO record and world title title win.

As Franco prepares for his upcoming bout against Kazuto Ioka on June 13, 2023, boxing fans around the world eagerly wait to see what the future holds for this young and talented boxer.
