Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela vs. Steve Spark: Physical Attributes

Twenty-eight-year-old Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela is from Guadalajara, Mexico. Standing at five feet and ten inches, he has a reach of seventy-three inches. However, the details of his precise weight before the fight remain unclear. Debuting on July 24, 2015, Valenzuela has so far participated in thirty contests, out of which he won twenty-six. Three losses and one draw constitute the balance. Sixteen wins came through knockouts, lending him a knock-out-to-win rate of 53.33%.

At the opposite corner, his twenty-six-year-old opponent, Steve Spark, seems to have less fighting experience. The Queensland, Australia-born boxer is five feet and ten inches tall, and his reach is slightly over seventy inches. Spark fought his first professional fight on October 31, 2014. Overall he has fought eighteen times, out of which sixteen were wins. Nearly 78% of his wins came through knockouts.

Other facts about Valenzuela and Spark

The match, which is taking place at the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, will surely give Valenzuela a home advantage. His latest bout was against Yves Ulysse Jr. on February 02 in Montreal, Canada this year. He won the fight through technical knockout. Steve Sparks’s last bout was against the American Montana Love on November 12, 2022. He won the match as Love was disqualified.

It remains to be seen whether Spark, who appears to have a penchant for early stoppages, can bring about an upset. On the other hand, the Australian gained acclaim in 2021 for taking a fight against future champion Tim Tszyu. While he was defeated then, fans and critics were visibly impressed by his willingness to move two weight classes to challenge a top-notch fighter like Tszyu. Unfortunately, the net worth details of both boxers remain sketchy and cannot be verified.
