Perhaps almost everybody wants to be in the shoes of Panamanian boxer, Celestino Caballero. He is the perfect combination of build, talent and strength. It’s no wonder that he is every promoters dream boxer to work with. Standing at 5 foot and 11 inches at the super bantamweight division, Celestino is instantly recognizable as a special fighter.

Celestino Caballero has been described as an exciting fighter, willing to fight any player at any time. Many promoters say that this quality in a boxer is rare these days. Aside from his personal qualities as a boxer, his height is also an essential. Super bantamweight boxers approaching six feet are not easy to find and this gives Celestino an edge over his opponents. Aside from his build, Celestino also fights aggressively and has an action-packed style of boxing, making him a player to look out for in every match. In fact, it is with this combination that Celestino Caballero managed to win the WBA Super Bantamweight interim championship title.

Celestino’s most memorable fight as a professional boxer was against then-undefeated Daniel Ponce De Leon. In just 12 rounds, Celestino managed to win against the undefeated De Leon. After this match, Celestino Caballero became a household name and his matches afterwards were watched more closely. After defeating Daniel Ponce De Leon in February of 2005, he went on to challenge Yober Ortega for the WBA Super Bantamweight interim title and won. His first defense after his glorious victory was equally fascinating. He was against Roberto Bonilla and after seven rounds, would win the match through technical knockout.

Celestino Caballero has had a total of 31 fights with 29 wins, 20 of which were won through technical knockout, 2 losses and zero draws. Now that Celestino has signed with a new promoter, boxing fans will be seeing more of this Panamanian “Pelenchin”.
