Undefeated and Top Featherweight prospect Felix Parrila squares off with fellow unbeaten Hegly Mosqueda for the WBA Continental America Title

HAMPSTEAD, NH –

On Saturday, April 6th, undefeated featherweight prospect Felix Parrilla steps into the ring to face Hegly Mosqueda, his most experienced opponent to date, for the vacant WBA Continental America Title.  

Parrilla (9-0, 8 KOs) will be squaring off against fellow unbeaten Mosqueda (25-0, 19 KOs). Mosqueda, from Los Teques, Venezuela, and now fighting out of Londonderry, New Hampshire, has stopped 10 of his last 11 opponents.  

After a highly decorated amateur career, Parrilla turned pro on October 16, 2021, with a second-round stoppage of Sidell Blocker. The New Haven, CT native reeled off four more knockouts to raise his record to 5-0, with all victories coming by stoppage. On August 20, 2022, Parrilla traveled to Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, to face another prospect, Gil Iglesia. In a one-sided fight, Parrilla dominated Iglesia to earn a clear-cut six-round unanimous decision. He followed that win with three straight stoppages, beginning with a second-round TKO on November 11, 2022, over 56-fight veteran Jonathan Lacona. On August 19, 2023, former Olympian Luis Porozo was vanquished in six rounds, and in his most recent outing, Parrilla stopped the rugged Steven Guachambosa in the third round.  

The Mosqueda bout will be Felix’s first 10-rounder and his first Title Fight of his young career. Parrilla aims to make a statement by stepping up to battle his more experienced foe, and with an impressive showing, he will further notify the Featherweight Division that he is a top contender in a loaded weight class.  

Co-manager David Dubinsky of DKO Boxing stated, “We are very excited for the world to see what we already know, that Felix Parrilla is the top Featherweight prospect in the world. After a distinguished amateur career, he has taken the necessary steps in the paid ranks to be ready for this opportunity. The world will see the best Felix Parrilla on April 6th. Winning this belt is only the first step of Felix’s ascent. Felix looks better each and every time he steps in the ring, which is bad news for Mosqueda and the rest of the Featherweight division.”
