Kevin Cervantes is set to step onto the stage of his career so far. On Friday, December 19, 2025, he will fight Jahmal Harvey in a six-round super featherweight bout at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The bout will take place at 130 pounds and will be held on the undercard of the high-profile Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua event, giving Cervantes the global exposure he highly deserves.

For many fans, this is their first true encounter with the undefeated Colombian prospect. Cervantes has quietly gained momentum with his all-action style and flawless knockout record. As his name spreads beyond regional cards, curiosity naturally grows. People want to know where he’s from, what flag he carries, and what defines him beyond the ring.

Before turning professional, he amassed an impressive amateur resume, reportedly competing in 87 amateur bouts. That foundation influenced his aggressive approach in the ring and comfort in high-pressure situations.

After a splendid amateur run, he made his professional debut in 2022, in Colombia. Cervantes has since remained undefeated, with a perfect 5-0 record.
